LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild The Galaxy: Pieces Of The Past SPOILER FILLED Review

To say that Star Wars has had a very hit and miss few weeks would be a huge understatement as while the trailer for Star Wars Visions Volume 3 went down well with people the same thing absolutely cannot be said for the teaser trailer for The Mandalorian And Grogu which seems to have gone done like a lead balloon. Well in all of that hype they've actually released another animated show and it's one that really not alot of people will know about even coming out in the first place and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the show that really didn't need to exist in the first place with the show in question being called simply just "LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild The Galaxy: Pieces Of The Past" enjoy.

The plot of this show is when a sith lord called Solitus opens up a portal to another galaxy he plans to use this power to destroy the galaxy and it's up to brothers Sig and Dev to stop him before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad however tho this shows plot wasn't all that good as while this is a show that was clearly made just to sell the newly announced and very heavily priced Death Star set it's also a plot that really should have been alot more better as even tho the previous series did dive into the multiverse aspect as well there it was just done to set up the show and and that's really it where as here it plays a huge part in the shows plot with characters from other Lego sets coming in and it just makes the whole plot feel like a giant advertisement for Lego Star Wars sets and yet if you look at movies like The Lego Movie and The Lego Batman Movie which yes were also used to try and sell us various Lego characters but they also had well thought out plots to them where as here the plot feels more like an afterthought to the product whereas if the makers of this sow had put more effort into the shows plot by actually making it a strong plot then the toys would have shifted themselves because of the fact that a good story would have been told in the first place with the plot of this show not really being really rather entertaining and nor is it really rather engaging either in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this show is Gaten Matarazzo as Sig Greebling , Tony Revolori as Dev Greebling and Bobby Moynihan as Jedi Bob. Also starring in this show is Marsai Martin as Yesi Scala , Michael Cusack as Servo , Billy Dee Williams as Landolorian , Alan Tudyk as K-2SO , Ben Schwartz as Jaxxon T. Tumperakki , Dan Stevens as Master Solitus , Ahmed Best as Darth Jar Jar , Anthony Daniels as C-3PO , Sam Witwer as Maul , Helen Sadler as Darth Rey , Phil LaMarr as Darth Kit Fisto , Kelly Marie Tran as Darth Rose Tico , Matthew Wood as General Grievous and The Battle Droids , Kevin Michael Richardson as Jedi Jabba The Hutt , Naomi Ackie as Jedi Jannah , Jake Green as Greedo , Piotr Michael as Yoda , Shelby Young as Princess Leia , Matt Sloan as Jedi Vader , Trevor Devall as Jedi Master Sheev and Ackbar Troopers , Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker , Jennifer Hale as Viper , Ashley Eckstein as Ahsoka Tano , Catherine Taber as Pirate Queen Amidala , Nika Futterman as Asajj Ventress , James Arnold Taylor as Obi-Wan Kenobi , Brian George as Ki-Adi-Mundi , Dee Bradley Baker as Kuiil , Darth Nubs , Nien Nunb and Snoke Clones and Andre Sogliuzzo as Cassian Andor.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good. With this not really being something that's all that surprising as alot of this shows actors are reprising their roles from other and more well known Star Wars projects and therefor it does make sense that they would turn in some really good performances in this show as they would have had years and in the case of Mark Hamill and Billy Dee Williams decades of experience with playing their respective characters with it really being hard to say just who the best actor in this season of the show even if in the first place as you could make a case for it being either Gaten Matarazzo or Tony Revolori as they are the shows main characters and they do get alot of screen time in this season of the show but at the same time tho it could also be argued that the best actor in the show is someone like Helen Sadler who is the official voice actor for Rey and has a really nailed Daisy Ridley's voice for the character but if push did come to shove i'd say that the best actor in this season of the show is Tony Revolori as he really does get the chance to show of just what it is that he can really do as an actor in this season of the show and it is something that really does help make his performance the best one in this season of the show because of that fact with the acting that's in this show not really being helped by the fact that the scripts for this show are just so bad as they give none of this shows actors absolutely anything to work with interms of what it is that there respective characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does harm the overall quality of the acting that's in this very show.

Doing the animation for this show is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Atomic Cartoons. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad with the show having some pretty decent looking animation to it however that's really the best thing that can be said about the shows animation as for one reason or another the makers of the show tried to emulated the stop motion look of The Lego Movie when it's not really something that works for this show as is a show that requires the animation be alot more smoother and have those fluid movements like we would get in the direct to DVD Lego movies but to give credit where it's due the makers of this show did make sure to include the fact that everything in this world from the desert to the fire is made out of Lego pieces which is a nice attention to detail but at the same time tho there's really nothing about this show from an animation point of view that really does stand out as it feels like the team behind this show are just going through the motions as really there's none of the wit and charm that we would get from quite literally any of the previous Lego Star Wars specials with the animation really just feeling like it was just there and that's rally it but when the show does feature some good looking animation like in it's action scenes and transitions then it is something that really does look really good.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You might have noticed the fact that we have one name missing from the list actors who are in this show and that's that fact that we also Cameron Monaghan as Cal Kestis in this show. With the character making his first ever none video game appearance in anything to do with Star Wars and while his inclusion in this show is basically nothing more then a cameo role as he only appears very briefly in two scenes in at least one episode the very fact that he was included at all does show you that the makers of this show are willing to put in other characters that aren't just either legacy characters from the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy but also newer characters from the sequel trilogy as well and while his appearance will no doubt confuse little kids as there not going to know just who he is due to the more mature nature of the games in which he appears the adults that played those games however will like the fact that he's made the leap to a streaming show albeit in a cameo role but it is something that does make you wonder if Lucasfilm either has bigger plans for the character and are using this show to get the none video game audience interested in the character or if Lego has a Cal Kestis figure coming out as this show was basically made to sell the toys in the first place that would make sense given just how popular of a character that he is amongst alot of people but at the same time it could also be that Lucasfilm are trying to see how kids would react to the character showing up to see if it's worth there time and money to put him in say another TV show or hopefully a movie as we know that the character has some adult fans due to them liking his character in the two Jedi Survivor video games but what we don't know is how kids feel about the character and therefor having him show up in a kids show in a cameo role would be a solid way to see how they feel about him as a character.

There are alot of things that seemed really off in this season of the show the first which being the fact that the character of Servo was just a super annoying character with him speaking over the opening ident for the first three episodes and just never EVER shutting up. To the fact that they literally have a scene in episode one of this season that's literally just there to tell you on the over priced new Death Star set that they announced a few weeks back which was just a pointless thing to include as it makes it super obvious that all this season was designed for is to sell the Lego sets to the kids but when that new Death Star set which they show off quite alot in episode one is £900 pounds or $1000 American dollars then something is clearly wrong but the worst offender is the fact that for a comedy there's nothing all that funny in this season of the show with the only bits of humor coming from the characters quite literally name dropping over and quite frankly better Star Wars projects be it from the movies to the various other TV shows and all that does is remind you that you could be watching something better and while yes this show was made for kids and so of course the jokes aren't going to be that funny but so was shows like the original Animaniacs and the original Tiny Toon Adventures and guess what they had gut bustingly funny jokes in them despite the fact that they were made kids just because something is made for kids isn't an excuse for turning lazy jokes as funny jokes will always be funny jokes no matter how old you are and having a robot character that doesn't shut up is not funny or clever it's annoying with Servo being the must annoying character in this show because of the fact that he doesn't shut up and yet we the audience are meant to be route for him if the makers of this show wanted us to route for him then they should have made him a less annoying character that actually shut up every once in a while.

To be frank this show does straight up copy Deadpool & Wolverine in one respect that being the fact that this season of the show also has a place were all of these forgotten about characters and in this case Lego sets end up. With the idea of the Forcehold being a fairly decent idea as it's made up of several different islands and is something that could make for a very fun playset should Lego chose to make one the issue is tho is that unlike the Void from Deadpool & Wolverine the Forcehold does seem like it's a really underdeveloped idea with it only showing up for a few scenes across three episodes and that's really it this is despite the fact that it does also kind of play a huge part in the plot of the season with the only thing that really could have fixed this was if we had several episodes instead of just four as then we could get to see more of this mysterious new land that hasn't been seen but for whatever reason the makers of this show instead chose to just have four episodes per season with this meaning that what could have been this really cool and fun idea that's filled to the brim with nods and winks to other parts of Star Wars lore is now just wasted potential like how cool would it have been to have some characters from the expanded universe show up for an episode or two or how cool would it have been to have characters that we had long forgotten show up to remind us all why we liked those characters so much in the first place this is something that worked so well in the first place as the fans of characters like Blade for example got to remember why they liked the character so much in the first place and the people that were watching Deadpool & Wolverine for the first time suddenly got introduced to this character that they didn't they were going to like and here they had the potential to do that but with Star Wars but they never took it for no good reason.

Now then this show has / had an exact grand total running time of no longer then exactly twenty three minuets. Which to be fair is pretty much the exact grand total running for these Lego Star Wars Disney+ shows with the show itself having more then enough plot there to really cover that amount of running time however tho this show really doesn't it's running time all that wisely as due to it having a small episode count it doesn't really develop the plot of the show as the makers of the show are more focused on getting to the next cliff hanger ending without making those endings feel earned and yet if this season had about five or maybe perhaps even six episodes instead of the standard four episodes then it would allow for the shows plot to be alot more developed as now there's more time to spend on developing the plot and it would also mean that the show would now have the chance to earn those cliff hanger endings as they do all come out of nowhere with this even effecting the shows characters as while the characters from the first of the show don't really get effected by it that much the one character that does is quite easily Darth Solitus who gets introduced as Jedi Bob's former master who fell to the dark side before Bob trapped him in the forcehold and yet while his plan to destroy the galaxy is perfectly fine for a kids Star Wars project there's really nothing more to his character other then his plan as the show doesn't take the time to fully develop him as a character and fair enough this is a Lego show that's aimed at kids and therefor it would seem weird to expect character development in this kind of show but at the same time tho if they did have some form of character development for any of the shows characters then it would go along way into not only making the show more memorable but the characters more memorable as well but I really will admit this very show really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad. As this seasons action really is the best part of the show itself as it's clear as day that the makers of this show are having the time of their lives in coming up with these really cool looking action scenes with them really making use of the fact that everything is made out of Lego just by having the fact that Sig builds alot of things during the shows action scenes to help him and his friends out which is a really creative idea and it's one that not only plays a part in the shows plot but also just looks really cool in it's own right with all four episodes having at the very least one action scene which is somethin that does make sense but at the same time kit does lead to the episodes being very tiring to watch as they don't give you a moment to truly catch your breath before the next big action scene takes place with the best action scene in the whole entire show being the big third act fight between with the Jedi and the Sith teaming up to take on Solitus and his own army of droids which is something that will always be cool to see with the makers of the episode really milking that one action scene for all it's worth which is something that really does make it all the more exciting to watch with the same thing also being true for the rest of the shows action scenes as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall while adults will have the next season of Star Wars Visions and The Mandalorian And Grogu the fact that the little kids will have this show does oddly feel right with this being a show that will only appease little kids which given that this show made exclusively for them is something that does also feel oddly right as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very show really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Star Wars fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very show that I used in this very review being the really great the official Star Wars fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very show with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Star Wars fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Thunderbirds 1965 TV Series "The Perils Of Penelope" Review

It's been a good long while since anything to do with the classic series version of Thunderbirds has been talked. Well with the home of Thunderbirds ITV also turning seventy years old this year it made alot of sense to now talk about more of the show as this shoe turned sixty years old this year and so then join me as I review that sees Lady Penelope become the main character of an episode with the episode in question being called simply just "The Perils Of Penelope" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when the inventor of a revolutionary fuel is kidnapped it's up to Lady Penelope to find out what happend to him before his fuel falls into the wrong hands. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad however tho this episodes plot really isn't all that good either as while it's not that bad it also doesn't feel like a Thunderbirds plot as most plots for those show involve the team rescuing someone from some kind of natural disaster where as here it feels more like a plot to a spy movie which would have been great if this was a spy show but it's not and therefor as good as this episodes plot is it does feel out of place when compared to alot of the other plots in this show but to give this episode some credit in regards to it's plot the episode does know to give the plot alot of focus and attention as the episode does spend alot of time in just setting up the main plot of the episode and making it feel all the more richer then what it really had any right to be but in saying that tho this is plot that can at times be completely forgettable and while the plot does have alot of good things going for it it's the fact that this plot feels more like the plot to a stereotypical spy movie then an episode of Thunderbirds that does hold it back and stops it from being as good as it really wants to be with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is this shows co-creator Sylvia Anderson as Lady Penelope and Peter Dyneley as Jeff Tracy and Sir Jeremy Hodge. Also starring in this episode is Christine Finn as Tin-Tin Kyrano , David Graham as Gordon Tracy , Parker , Professor Borender , Roache, Waiter , Colonel Benson and A TV Reporter , David Holliday as Virgil Tracy , Shane Rimmer as Scott Tracy , Matt Zimmerman as Alan Tracy and Alfred and Ray Barrett as Dr Godber.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With the fact that this episodes acting being as good as it is is not really something that's all that surprising as this show has a bunch if a really good voice actors in it which granted you might not know about if your not into Classic Doctor Who but if you were then you'd know how good of an actor that actor David Graham is and if you've seen The Spy Who Loved me then you'll know how good of an actor that Shane Rimmer is with them both being good in this episode despite the fact that both characters don't rally have all that much to do in the episode with the best actor in the whole entire episode being none other then Sylvia Anderson herself as even tho she's not an actor by trade really did bring alot of life into the character of Lady Penelope with this episode being proof of that as she gets the chance to show of just how street smart that the character can be at times with her performance being a true delight in what could otherwise have been seen as being a really dull and lifeless episode with the acting that's in this episode not really being helped by the fact that the script for this episode is just so bad as it gives none of this episodes actors absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there actual characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does harm the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

With this being a puppet based show it only makes to talk about the puppets in this episode as to be frank they were so well done in this episode. With there being alot of crowd scenes where all of the puppets are moving at the exact same time something which would have been really difficult to do back in the mid sixties and yet here they all work so well and while yes you can quite clearly see the strings on alot of the main puppet characters that is something that could also be said for alot of other puppet based shows and isn't something that's an issues with this show or with this episode with the best example of just how good the puppets are in this episode especially in the episodes many crowd scenes being in the opening of the episode where we get to see a countdown taking place for a spaceship and we get to see all of the puppet characters doing there own different thing inside what is presumably a control tower with this being something what would have been really difficult to do just due to the fact that you would have needed all of the people controlling the puppets to be careful as to not to accidentally knock into each other or each others character all the while still somehow managing to make these puppets somehow feel alive and human with even both of the scenes in the Paris cafe being a good example of this as again you have several puppet characters alot of which are in this case main characters and there all moving about just doing there own thing and it all looks so good and it's something that does make you wonder how they managed to pull off such shots in the mid nineteen sixties.

As was mentioned back at the very start of this review this episodes plot feels alot more like the plot of James Bond spy movie then it does a Thunderbirds episode. Whilst this could be seen as being a bad thing it could also be seen as being a good thing as it shows that the makers of this episode were willing to try out different genre's with these characters as even Sir Lew Grade himself once said that the pilot episode to Thunderbirds wasn't a TV show it was a movie and so it does stand stand to reason that some of the shows episodes would try to be different film genres and while that doesn't necessarily work in this episode as the plot to this episode comes of as being a more kid friendly version of the film From Russia With Love and heck the main bulk of the episodes third act even takes place on a train it still doesn't change the fact that the makers of this show were willing to be brave and bold so early on in the shows run as even tho this was the twelve episode to be produced it was still only the third episode to air and so you still do get the feeling the makers of this show are still trying to find there footing with the show and that is something that does show through in the fact that whilst Thunderbirds is typically an action show and while there is action in this episode this episode takes on the approach of being a more kid friendly version of a James Bond film and it is something that both does and doesn't work in this episode as while it's great that we are seeing this show take on different genres and seeing them done through the eyes of Thunderbirds Lady Penelope was never that well developed of a character with the same thing also being true for alot of the shows characters as well and therefor it does feel odd that she would lead a spy based episode for the show when the show itself is still is trying to find an audience.

The only thing that could have saved this episodes spy element was if instead of airing as the third episode of the show it instead aired either later on in the first series of the show or it instead aired as an episode of the second series. As while the episode isn't worthy to be the plot of the any of the two sixties films having air later on in the series would have worked out all the more better as by then the show would have found it's audience and would have been able to take on more different plots then what the audience is used to as having it air as the third episode of the first series was a very bold and risky move as the show was still trying to find it's audience at that point in time and therefor it would have made more sense of the makers of the show just went with the more stereotypical Thunderbirds plot as this was still a new show but in saying that tho having a plot like this take place as early as it does in the series running order does show just how brave that the makers of this show really were as here is an episode that not only technically takes place at the same time as the very next episode but also features a female as the main character and is tackling a different genre then what the makers of the show are used to dealing with with them oddly enough getting alot of the spy elements down perfectly with Penelope using her wits to get herself and Sir Jeremy Hodge out of danger alot of the time and while the episode tells you right away who the bad guy is and therefor we the audience are always ahead of the characters in that regard it could also be argued that in this case it does add some level of tension to the episode as now whenever Lady Penelope and Sir Jeremy Hodge meet up with this man there is a very real threat to both of there lives.

To give this episode some form of credit the very idea of having the main threat of this episode basically be this unstoppable Monorail was a really good idea. Even tho the main villain of the episode is revealed to be Dr. Godber having it be a train like vehicle that's moving towards our heroes at a fast speed is more threatening then having a mad man with a gun threatening Sir Jeremy to try and get the formular out of him as that mad man with a gun can very easily be stopped but a fast moving train can't which does mean that we get alot of tension added on in the final few minuets of the episode as now International Rescue have to work fast to not only prevent a protentional world war from happening which is what Dr. Godber wants to happen but now they also have to find a way to rescue someone who is not only a good friend of theirs but also works for them and they have to do it before the monorail comes and kills her which is something that does make for a good tension filled third act with the only thing that really lets it down being the fact that Dr. Godber really isn't all that interesting as a villain with him just coming across as being a stereotypical mad scientist type of character who only wants this formular just so that he could possibly start a new world war and that's really it which granted is an epic enough plan for this show but at the same time tho it's just not that well thought out as if he did manage to achieve his goal then he himself would be more then  likely killed but it is something that would have made more sense if he had a rocketship of his own that was a rival to the Sun Probe as then it could be argued that he was making a business move and wasn't trying to start something that would ultimately end up with im dieing.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly fifty minuets and thirty six seconds. Which is pretty much the exact grad total running time for this show as alot of this shows episodes did have a running time of about fifty minuets with this episode having the right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time but in saying that tho despite this being one of the episodes that got rewrites to fit that extended running time when the show got bumped up from twenty five minuets to fifty minuets in length the episode still doesn't take the time that it really needed in order to fully develop it's as it's plot while it does get alot of focus given to it still does feel really weak with it feeling like that the plot was taking place to the spy aspect of the episode with the episode not even taking the time to fully develop it's characters which in the case of the shows main characters does somewhat make sense as you could argue that they would get there development in later episodes of the show but it's also something that doesn't make sense when it comes to the episodes guest characters as we know just as much about them coming out of the episode as we did going into the episode all of which does make them feel like there undercooked and while it's not unusual for kids shows from the sixties to not give the characters guest or main any kind of character development that doesn't mean that it should have happened as kids are alot more smarter then what we give them credit for and they would always like when characters get character development as that makes them more interesting as characters but I really will admit that this very episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho. 

So now then as this an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. With the episodes action whilst it's not as good as the action in either other episodes of the show or even the two sixties Thunderbirds films for that matter is still alot more better then what it really had any right to be as it will always be good just seeing what equipment Thunderbird 2 is going to be using that week however this episode does also somewhat try to the up ante in what has to be the episodes best action scene in which Gordon takes on Dr. Godber in what is basically a gun fight as even tho they do put on laser effects over the guns it's pretty clear as day what there meant to be and while having guns is something that does mesh well with the episodes spy aspect it is something that does feel out of place in a Thunderbirds episode as none of the previous two episodes had shown the members of International Rescue using them with them being shown exclusively by the episodes main villains but that doesn't take away from how good that third act action scene really is as not only do we have the excitement of Gordon trying to shoot Dr. Godber and save Sir Jeremy but we also have the drama of Virgil trying to get to and rescue Lady Penelope before it's far to late which is something that really does make the action in that third act as good as it was ever going to be in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Overall while this episode is still a very thrilling episode and is a very good in it's own right it's also quite clearly one of the shows more weaker episodes as the central spy aspect of the show doesn't really gel well with the main disaster aspect that would usually be in the show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least#. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Amazon . Co . Uk and the official Thunderbirds fandom wiki page. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very review being the really great the official Thunderbirds fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Thunderbirds fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Aztec Batman: Clash Of Empires Film SPOILER FILLED Film Review

Whenever we think of the Batman character we usually think of him appearing in American made films with the character only twice appearing in films made by another country. Well now we can make that three times as there is a new Batman film out that actually wasn't produced in America and doesn't feature Bruce Wayne as Batman and well you all just knew that I had to check this film the very first chance that I got and so then join me as I give you mu SPOILER FILLED review of the film that gives us a very different take on the dark knight with the film in question being called simply just "Aztec Batman: Clash Of Empires" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when his father is killed right infront of him a young prince must do whatever he can to find his father's killer and stop him once and for all. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty I in all honesty person ally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad as to give the film some credit it does try to tell a story that's true to it's Spanish routes but in doing so it makes the film feel less like a Batman story and that point you might as well make the main hero a new character all together a while yes there have been dozens of different versions of the caped crusader but the one thing that they all have in common is the fact that they have plots that are true to that character and that's just something that this films plot is lacking as the film is more focused on giving us the backstory to this new main character then it is in telling a good story and yet when the film does feature scenes that are all about the main plot of the film that's when the film gets good again as this films can be pretty good at times with it being made clear as day that the makers of this film know how to tell a good story and while it is understandable that they have to tell an origin story in this film and it is woven into the film in an organic way it oddly feels like that there stopping the plot inorder to show us how this version of Batman gets all the things that the American version got so easily with the the plot of this film also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Jay Hernandez as Yohualli Coatl / Batman , Raymond Cruz as Yoka and Teresa Ruiz stars as Jaguar Woman. In a rather odd move there's no complete cast list for the English dub of this film with the only three actors listed being the only three that are either confirmed to be in the English dub of the film or in the case of Teresa Ruiz are English speaking and therefor more of an educated guess then anything else and yet there's pretty much a full cast list for the Spanish speaking dub of the film as yes this film does have two dubs out there which is understandable is even in anime they don't just produce it for the American audience and so having dub for the home grown country does make some sort of sense but at the same time tho it would have made just as much sense if there was a complete cast list for the English dub out there as alot of people are just going to be watching that cut of the film and therefor it makes sense to list of those actors and while one name has had to be edited because it does contain a spoiler what can be said is that that person does make for a pretty good version of that character but it would be nice to find out who played the main villain of the film as he was really good in the film with this being yet another example of why we should have a complete cast list for the dub of this film and yet for one reason or another we don't get that which does make it hard to say who it was that was playing who and it means that alot of educated guesses do have to be made just to give the actors the credit that they so rightfully deserve in this film something which can't be done as there's no full cast lost out there right now at this moment intime.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With this films actors really turning in some really solid performances something that couldn't have been easy given the fact that there not playing the iconic versions of these characters and so they can't look at what the other actors did when they were playing the characters they now have to make the character there own and turn in a good performance at the same time something which really isn't all that easy to do as alot of actors struggle to nail there characters down the first time around and yet that's something that lot of this films actors do perfectly and while it is of course far to early to tell if there going to become THE voices for these characters for alot of people you can see them perfecting there characters and getting the chance to voice them again in different projects with the best actor in this film being Jay Hernandez as Yohualli Coatl / Batman as while he does start to sound a little bit like Kevin Conroy near the middle to the end of the film with him giving his character a gravely voice his performance does more then make for it even if the character isn't that well written in the first place with the acting that's in this film not really being helped hy the fact that this films script is just so bad as it gives none of this films actors absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there actual characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does harm the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

Doing the animation for this film really is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Anima Estudios. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad with this film having some pretty decent looking animation to it which whilst it's not the best looking Batman animated film out there it is alot more better then what it really had any right to be as by all rights this films animation should have been really bad as it was done by the studio that did the terrible animated Top Cat movies from the early 2010's but they actually put alot of thought and effort into this films animation with all of the films backgrounds looking really good and alot of the characters having some really fun character designs with the same thing even being true for the Batman characters as well as the animation team behind this film are quite clearly having alot of fun imagining what these truly iconic characters would look like if they were Spanish and were islanders but in saying that tho the films backgrounds as nice as they are to look at do feel pretty lifeless and flat whereas if you look at Gotham City from any Batman movie they make that city feel like a character in it's own right where as with this film the makers of this film make the island that this film takes place on feel alot more like a prop then an actual character as there's nothing visually interesting about this island from a design point of view with even the characters at times having these really stiff looking movements which just look weird.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This film does feature alot of classic Batman villains some of them in cameo roles like for example Poison Ivy and others like Joker and Two-Face taking on main roles in the film. With Joker getting alot of screen time as we see him as Yoka who is a servant to a kind but when he pushes the king to far with him saying that the Two-Face character is to be trusted when everything else says differently the king rightfully kicks him out something which does force him to start going even more crazy then what he already is to the point wear he kills his willing mother who believes that she's doing the right thing to appease some god who both she and Yoka believe are telling him to do these things. With Two-Face in this film taking on the role of main villain and is here called Hernán Cortés and doesn't really get called Two-Face at any point during the films running time with him in this film being someone who is obsessed with gold and will do anything to get more of it even if it means killing them which is something that does make him a a solid villain for this film but at the same time tho we don't get to find out all that much about him as a character where as due to the scene with his mother and siblings we do get to find out more about Joker but both of those characters get better treatment then what Poison Ivy got who only appears in two very brief scenes with her role in this film is to basically be a spirit guide to our new Batman with her speaking in riddles for quite literally no reason whatsoever whereas it would have been more interesting to see her interact with Yohualli Coatl outside of the dreamlike world that she makes him go to whenever she visits him as she does have a pretty solid design and having her be the spirit guide to our new hero could have worked if the makers of this film put alot more effort into making her an actually good character in the first place.

Like what alot of the now officially ended DCEU used to do this film puts alot more thought and effort into setting up sequels to this film rather then making this film good enough in the first place. As during the end of the film we get not one but two scenes which are there just to set up a sequel with the best one showing Joker meeting Two-Face for the first time and Joker asking Two-Face if he can work for him and promising to help him take down Batman and the second one featuring a recently killed Batman coming back to life only now he has yellow eyes neither scene adds anything to this fil and both scenes would have been much more better of if they weren't included in the film at all as the main focus of any film regardless of if it's a superhero film or not should always be to make the best film possible and then if the film is hit film then you can talk about sequels with this being something that lot of comic book movies seem to have forgotten all about as there more focused on setting up the next film then they in making sure that the current film is good enough that people want to see a second film and yet when it comes to this film there's not really been all that much chatter from fans about wanting to see a second film with these characters which granted is most likely due to the fact that alot of people might not even know about the film coming out in the first place but the very fact that the makers of this film thought it was a good idea to have scenes in it that are just there to set up sequels without actually making sure that this film is good enough in the first place does say that the makers of this film care more about the sequels to this film then they do about making sure that this film is actually good in the first place.

To be fair to this film it does have some pretty gory moments in it all of which were shocking to see as when when you think of Batman you don't usually think of gory moments. Yet that's exactly what we got in this film with even the death of Yohualli Coatls chief father being one that whilst it is quick is pretty gory as Two-Face just calmy walks up to him and sticks his sword through his throat and that's it which is a simple kill but it's also one that's really effective with the film even doing a good job of making sure that our new Batman has the proper motivation to become the dark knight and not just straight up copy the origin story for Bruce Wayne as while yes Yohualli did loose his mother as well he lost her before the events of the film even took place with the death of his father being the kill that really motivated him to go and seek out revenge on Two-Face with even his arc in the film goin from someone who just wants revenge and has tunnel vision about reaching that end goal to someone who is willing to lay down his life to save people who he really doesn't know all that well is a flawed arc that's done decently well as it is is something that does come out of the blue as he spends alot of the film moaning about how this one Batgod wouldn't help him out which is fine for a scene or two but it does noting to make the character likable or even interesting and even his romance with this films version Catwoman does feel like it came out of nowhere and was most likely only there because of the fact that the American versions of those characters have a one again and off again romance with each other both of these things are thing that having alot of gore won't fix as while gore can make your film fun to watch it's not a substitute for good storytelling and characters.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty nine minuets and thirty seven seconds. Which again to be fair to this film is a perfectly solid running time for this film to have with the film even having the right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time with the film being more focused on either setting up possible future films ad giving us the backstory for all of it's main characters then it is in telling a good with this possibly being because of the fact that the film has far two many characters which does take up screen time that would have been better spent in further developing the plot of film since as things stand it does feel like that the characters are just going through the motions alot of the time for rhyme or reason with this even effecting the films characters again there so many characters to keep track of that none of time get the chance that they really did need to be fully developed characters as we know as much about all of the characters coming out of the film then we did coming into the film with this being something that very easily could have been fixed just by cutting down on the amount of main characters in the film as we don't need to see Catwoman or Joker in this film as they add nothing to the overall plot of the film with the same thing also being true for Poison Ivy as her role could have been played by Yohuallis dead mother and it would still work just as well but for whatever reason the makers of this film chose to overstuff this film with alot of main characters and because of that the film really does suffer because of it but I really will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is an action film that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty i in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With it being made clear as day that the makers of this film put alot more thought and effort into giving this film some really good looking action in it then they did into giving us a genuinely good film with alot of this films action scenes whilst they are yes really simple by Batman standards that is something that does work well for this film as this is a Batman that doesn't have alot of money and therefor can't afford to buy all of his gadgets and therefor has to make everything himself that and coupled with the fact that this film takes place years in the past it does make sense that we wouldn't get to see any over the top action scenes in this film with the films best action scene being the films third act battle scene as we get to see alot of the characters minus Poison Ivy and Joker for some off reason all get to do something that feels true to there original self with Batman even inventing what is basically the Batplane to help to take down this films version of Two-Face with there fight being one that's really well done and filled to the brim with tension as it does appear like Two-Face could actually win and while this is the best action scene in the whole entire film the film on the whole does have a bounce of really good looking action in it in the first place in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Overall out of this and the Batman Ninja films the Batman Ninja films are the better films as those two films are at the very least fun to watch whilst also doing something fresh and new with the Batman characters whereas with this film whilst it does have it's moments this film just isn't that much of a fun film to watch in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official DC Movies fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very film that I used in this very review being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very film with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

X-Men '97 "To Me My X-Men" Review

When people think of great X-Men shows and great superhero animated shows in general they usually think of X-Men: The Animated Series. Yet what alot of people seem to have forgotten is that show actually got a sequel show with the first episode of the show being one that i'm going to be talking to you al about today and so then join me as I review the episode that re-introduced the classic X-Men to new generation of the fans with the episode in question being called simply just "To Me My X-Men" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when newly upgraded sentinels start attacking the X-Men have to find out who is giving them these upgrades and why. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with the plot of this episode being very close in terms of tone to the typical plot of X-Men: The Animated Series with it being clear as day that the makers of this episode had a clear love and passion for the original show as all of the things that this episode does from a plot point of view makes sense not only for the characters but also interms of the characters as well with the only real negative about this episode is the fact that this episodes plot and the plot of the original series are striking similar to one another even down to the fact that they take on the exact same foe which is something that does make this episode feel pointless to watch as you watch the first episode of the original show and still get the same experience from it as there's really nothing in this episodes plot that makes it stand out from the plot of the first episode of the original show outside of the cliff hanger ending for this episode but that's really it with the episodes plot on the whole being a really good plot and is one that does feel more in line with X-Men: The Animated Series then anything from any of the more modern Marvel animated TV shows with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Ray Chase as Scott Summers / Cyclops and Jennifer Hale as Jean Grey and A Computer. Also starring in this episode is Alison Sealy-Smith as Ororo Munroe / Storm , Cal Dodd as James Howlett / Wolverine , J.P. Karliak as Kevin Sydney / Morph and Mullet , Lenore Zann as Anna-Marie Raven / Rogue , George Buza as Dr. Henry "Hank" McCoy / Beast , A.J. LoCascio as Remy LeBeau / Gambit , Holly Chou as Jubilation Lee / Jubilee , Isaac Robinson-Smith as Lucas Bishop / Bishop , Matthew Waterson as Erik Lehnsherr / Magneto , Ross Marquand as Charles Xavier / Professor X , Gui Agustini as Roberto Da Costa / Sunspot , Catherine Disher as Valerie Cooper , Lawrence Bayne as Carl Denti / X-Cutioner , Todd Haberkorn as Henry Gyrich , Gavin Hammon as Bolivar Trask and Eric Bauza as Mastermold , Sentinels and A News Anchor.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With this being something that does make alot of sense as alot of this episodes actor are reprising their roles from the original show and much like how Kevin Conroy is THE voice of Batman to many alot of the original series actors that returned for this show are THE voices of these characters and therefor it will always be great to hear them saying new line as these truly iconic character and the actors that thy got to replace certain actors like Holly Chou do a good job of getting close to the original voice as is humanly possible without just outright copying what the original actor did with the character in the first place and while yes there are alot of really good performance to be found in this episode there are also some really bad ones as well like the fact that we have Ross Marquand as Charles Xavier in this show and he just doesn't live up to wat the original actor did with the role this is despite the fact that Ross Marquand himself is a really good actor he's proven that time and time again but he needs to be given the right role and Charles Xavier just isn't the perfect fit for hm as an actor with the acting that's in this episode also really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all this episodes actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the really greats that are currently over at Studio Mir. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with this episode and the rest of the show having what can best be described as being an anime look to it which is something that does make sense given just who is animating the episode with the episodes animation also looking really stunning withy it having a look that is both modern and sleek and yet also old and more in line with the look of the classic show as well with this being something that really does work really well for this episode as this is an episode that has the toughest job to do by having to convince the old fans to come back and watch the episode whilst also trying to win over new fans and by giving it this look that whilst it does look like the old show but only more modernized does make alot of sense with alot of the characters not only having these really fluid movements to them but also getting alot of really cool shots that do nothing more then show of the episodes animation with even the backgrounds in this episode looking really good and really well detailed so much so that it does feel like at times that you can just reach out and grab any of the backgrounds in this episode with the episodes animation looking like a work of art in all of the best senses.

To help with recapturing the fans of the original shows the makers of this show did the best thing possible and that's reuse the original shows theme song. Which yes granted might be seen as being a small thing but in saying that tho alot of the old fans myself included really do love that old theme song and any on screen continuation of that show needed to have that theme song playing to make it genuinely feel like this is the next episode and it's something like that that does make this show feel like it was made for fans of the original animated series by fans of the original animated series and alot of that does come down to the fact that the writer of this episode Beau DeMayo as truly an awful person as he may be does seem like a genuine fan of the X-Men and it's that love and that passion for not only the original show but it's characters as well that does shine through in this episode as all of the characters are no only acting in character but also feel in character as well and the fact that they managed to get the original theme song for this show does say that the makers of this show are truly fans of the original show as that is something that only fans would want and while yes granted the version used in this episode is a remixed version of the original theme song it's still that original theme that we all know and love with this shows version of the classic theme song being more then enough to get us hyped up for the episode ahead something which wouldn't have been possible if they used a different theme song as those of us that grew up with the original show really wouldn't know that this was meant to be a continuation of the original show without hearing that classic theme song playing at the start of the episode.

While there are alot of positives to be fond not only in this show as a whole but in this episode as well sadly tho this episodes does have a few not so bright spots in it as well. Chief amongst which is the fact that Sunspot in this episode really isn't given much in the way of a personality other then being this shows version of Jubilee and that's really it with the character just being bland and forgettable with the other really negative thing being the fact that they have Charles Xavier killed OFF screen which yes granted might seem like a minor nitpick but given the fact hat both this show and the original show use alot of drama in all of their stories this is something that really should have been shown to us on screen as he is a main character and it would be a great way to not only get old fans hooked but also shock the new fans as well as then it would mean that any character could get killed off and while yes they do explain a way his death in later episodes of this show for alot of these early episodes he is meant to be dead and so it would have been nice for that drama factor to see Charles's death from the point of view of the X-Men only to then show us what actually happened in later episodes of the show as then we'd get to not only see but also experience these characters that alot of us grew up watching watch someone who they were all close to now suddenly no longer be there for them instead of just having it told to us how they all felt which is something that we got in this episode and while that is something that does kind of work for this episode it would have worked all the more if we got to see Charles's death on screen.

Let's just take a second to talk about Magneto as it really doesn't make any sense for Charles to leave him anything let alone everything in his will. As the two of them spend the best part of the entire original series being arch enemies who only teamed up very rarely and while yes they were friends in the past since they have die so much to each other after the fact it really doesn't make any kind of sense for Magneto to get anything in Charles's will with it making sense that the X-Men would choose not to trust him as they really haven't a reason to trust the man who has tried to kill them on several occasions in the past and while this does play in the main plot of this season it's also one that doesn't make a whole lot of sense as surely Charles would be more then likely to trust one of his own X-Men like for example either Cyclops or Wolverine then he would to trust the person who has tried to take the over world at several points in time and heck in the makers of this episode really wanted to make sure that giving Magneto all of this power was something that could work and be perfect for his character then they they should have  given us a reason for the characters to trust him and make that moment at the end of the episode still feel shocking as it should have been but also feel right for his character as you very easily could have had him show yup in the episodes third act fight to help the X-Men out whilst being mysterious about why he's actually helping them which would give them a reason to kind of trust him and would also feel true to his character but just having him appear at the end of the episode is a solid cliffhanger but it doesn't do his character any kind of justice whatsoever.

Now then this episode has /  had a exact grad total running time of exactly thirty minuets and thirty seconds. Which to be fair to this episode is pretty much the exact grand total running tome for the rest of this show as alot of this shows episodes have pretty similar running times to them anyway with this episodes having just the right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time in the first place but in saying that tho this episode also doesn't use it's running time all that wisely either as the plot of this episode as good as it is really isn't that well developed with the episode just rushing from one big set piece to the next without really taking the time to set up the plot of the episode and to let the episodes plot become fully developed with this being something that the original series not only knew to do but also did really well as well despite having much more shorter running times and yet here in this episode also of the time it does feel like that the characters are just doing random things for the sake of doing it and when there is a plot in there it' the same plot from the first episode of the original X-Men: The Animated Series with the episodes characters not really getting much in terms of character development which is something that does kind of make sense as this is only the first episode of the show afterall but at the same time tho none of the characters that are returning from the original show get much interms of development either as we the audience aren't really given a reason to care for nay of the characters in this episode and while the original characters do come slightly betting in this regard this is mainly due to the fact that they were in the original show with them not really getting anything interms of this episode but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is an action episode that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Which is something that's kind of to be expected as all of the action in the original show was also really good and therefor it makes sense that the action in this episode would be just as good with alot of the main characters really getting a chance to show us just what it is that they can do and what it is that they ring to the team in any given action scene and while alot of the characters like for example Sunspot don't get a chance to show us just what it is that they bring to the team those that do like Storm for example really do make it count with the best action scene in the whole entire episode being the third act fight where alot of the X-Men take on these newly built and newly upgraded Sentinels with us getting a chance t see all of the X-Men's powers which is something that will always be cool to see with even getting just alot of really cool moments in that scene like Beast destroying the head of Sentinel just so he can use it's body as kind of like a giant puppet to take on and take down another Sentinel and while that scene is the best action scene in the whole episode the episode on the whole is filled to the brim with alot of really good looking scenes that look good because of the fact that this episodes tremendous animation really does help them all to come alive in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Overall not on this episode but this show as a whole is must watch for fans of the classic X-Men: The Animated Series as just by going off of this episode alone it does more then enough justice to both the original show and it's characters whilst also just being it's own thing which does prove that Marvel really does still know how to make good if not even great content when they really want to in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. ow the i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly an 8 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the im ages that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Disney fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very review being the really great the official Disney fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Disney fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
