My First Impressions Of The Sonic Prime TV Series

 


Sonic The Hedgehog is a character that's seen quite a resurgence in popularity within the past few years or so. With the character spawning not one but two hit live action movies with a third one in development and TV series based on those live action movies also in the works well now Netflix has just debuted a new animated TV series and well you all just knew that I had to take a look at this show and so then join me as I give you my first impressions that trys to put a new spin on Sonic and his friends with the TV series in question being called simply just "Sonic Prime" enjoy.

The plot of this show is after fighting Dr. Eggman Sonic suddenly finds himself trapped inside of a different universe and now ha to try and find his home. 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 pretty decent with this shows plot so far being really entertaining but at the same time also treading upon some very familiar ground in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this show is Deven Mack as Sonic the Hedgehog and Orbot and Ashleigh Ball as Miles "Tails" Prower and Tails Nine. Also starring in this show is Adam Nurada as Knuckles The Echidna , Shannon Chan-Kent as Amy Rose and Rusty Rose , Kazumi Evans as Rouge The Bat and Rebel Rouge , Brian Drummond as Dr. Eggman , Mr. Dr. Eggman and Dr. Done It , Ian Hanlin as Shadow The Hedgehog , Big The Cat and Denizen 1998 and Vincent Tong as Renegade Knucks , Dr. Babble , Dr. Don't and Dr. Deep.

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 all of this shows voice cast turning in some really good performances and doing a good job of making this outrageous and insane script work for them.


Try as I might I cannot for the absolutely life of me find out anywhere online who did the animation for this show. Now then interms if 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 this shows animation being alot better then what it really did have any right to be.


For some reason this show borrows alot of it's set up from the first Sonic The Hedgehog TV series only with worse looking animation , characters and writing. Which is a shame because the idea of Sonic having to rescue a city is a good idea but from the first two episodes that i've seen its not being done all that well and such all it does is remind that I could be watching a much better Sonic The Hedgehog TV show and that's not a good thing at all.

This show does seem to be setting up a mystery with Sonic since there's a large portion of time where we don't know where Sonic was. Which isn't a bad idea but it's not enough to carry an entire show neither is the sole premise of the show itself since you could very easily solve both of them within three episodes and this show is going to have twenty four episodes which means that we're going to have alot of filler episodes heck even the second episode of this show is borderline a filler episode since it adds nothing to the episode of the show. 


Like I just said this show is going to be twenty four episodes long spread over three "seasons" which I can't really see that show doing all that well with all of those episodes. Since there's not really a sense of worldbuilding going on at least in these first two episodes which is a shame because the show does have a storyline that's open to exploring the lore of the Sonic franchise and yet so far this show just isn't exploring any of the Sonic lore.

Now then the first episode of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty three minuets and twenty six seconds where as episode two has / had an exactly grand total running time of exactly twenty five minuets and nine seconds. I have to admit that episode one has the better running time since it makes this show feel all the more epic and I really do think that the rest of the show should have had the running time that episode one had since that would then allow for more epic stories to be told and for character development to happen in a more naturel way.


So now then since this is an action show that means 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. With this shows action being rather rightfully cartoonish however this shows action was also rather lackluster with this shows action not really showing us anything that's all that cool , interesting or even entertaining in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this show isn't that bad but at the same time it's also not all that good either it's sure to please little kids but the die hard Sonic fans will most likely not find this show to be all that good 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 show in this post and since this is only my first impressions I won't be giving this show a rating however if i'm still watching this show when this shows final episodes airs or is released then i'll give this a show review and a rating as well but so far it's not of to very good start at all.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally used all of the images that I personally used in this very post from the official Sonic The Hedgehog fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very post being the wonderful the official Sonic The Hedgehog fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Sonic The Hedgehog fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

My First Impressions Of The National Treasure: Edge Of History TV Series

 


Disney fans the company has a habit of not really promoting there stuff and as such alot of what they release goes under the radar. This is very sadly the case for the show that i'm about to talk about where I don't think they even released a trailer for the show which is a shame because I only just today fund out that there was a series of posters for the show and so hen join me as I give you my first impressions that really wasn't promoted all that well at all with the show in question being called simply just "National Treasure: Edge Of History" enjoy.

The plot of this show is a young treasure hunter and her group of friends embark on a quest to find some treasure that was thought lost for centuries. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty not that bad since it does set up the plot of the show really good but at the same time it also gives you no reason to go and watch episode three of this show either which us what a god plot for a TV show really should do in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this show is Lisette Alexis as Jess Valenzuela , Fear The Walking Dead and 90210 star Lyndon Smith as FBI Agent Ross and Zuri Reed as Tasha Rivers. Also starring in this show is actor and singer and Stargirl star Jake Austin Walker as Liam Sadusky , Antonio Cipriano as Oren Bradley , Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge and Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms star Jordan Rodrigues as Ethan , Wednesday star Catherine Zeta-Jones as Billie Pearce and Harvey Keitel as Peter Sadusky.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty not that bad. With the actors that you expect a great performance from truly delivering but at the same time this shows kid actors just don't deliver that good of a performance at least in these first two episodes anyways.



What I really did like about this show is the fact that these first episodes presents it's main character aa somebody who is like Sherlock Holmes. In that she kind of has her own mind palace which she uses whenever she gets into the zone when looking up some information on something and on top of that how this character acts and is written very much reminds me of Sherlock Holmes which makes me wonder if the creators of this show were inspired by Sherlock Holmes when it came to writing this shows main female character.


As someone who has only seen the second National Treasure film I can't say if this show connects to the films in any meaningful way. I will say that there is a reference to the first film but that's really it and that's really all you need to do just to say to your audience that these two properties do indeed exist in the same fictional world but at the same time with these first two episodes basically being an hour and a half pilot episode I would have liked it if the tone from the first two movies carries over to this show.

The marketing for this show has been pretty bad with there being only one trailer for the show released with the trailer itself being released all the way back in September. This isn't a good sign heck I don't even think that they announced when this show was even coming out either which just makes me wonder why Disney chose to essentially bury this show since even if a product is bad you should still let people know that it's coming out so that they can then form there own opinions about it and not just bury it and basically forget that it's even I think that's currently happening.


Disney released the first two episodes of this show which in this case I really do think works against the show. Since the one of the main selling points for this show is the mystery aspect of it and so since episode one had the stronger ending I really do think that only the first episode should have been released since then you'd have a reason to come back and watch episode two which now simply isn't the case.

Now then these episodes has / had an exact gran total combined running time of exactly one hour and thirty minuets. With each episode being around forty five minuets in length which really does work well for this show since it allows the story to move at a more organic pace but at the same time tho because things are moving alot slower in this show you also pick up on many of this shows flaws alot sooner then what you would have done if this movie but on the plus side these episodes do have some really great pacing to them.


So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these episodes was in all honesty OK at best. Which given that we've only had one action scene so far isn't really a bad thing but it does make me wonder just how bad or hopefully how good the action is for the rest of this show tho since you only get one chance to make a good first impression and so far at least this shows action hasn't really made all that good of a good first impression in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this show might get better as the rest of it's ten first season episodes start to get released but so far at best this show seems to be nothing more then OK at it's absolutely best 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 these first two episodes in this very post and since this is only my first impressions I won't be giving this show a rating however if i'm still watching this show when this shows final episodes airs or is released then i'll give this a show review and a rating as well but so far it's not of to very good start at all.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post 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 post from the official National Treasure fandom wiki page , the official Disney fandom wiki page , the official Sonic fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very post being the wonderful the official National Treasure fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official National Treasure fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987 TV Series Animated TV Series "Get Shredder" Review

 


The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a franchise that has spawned many animated TV series over the decades but none ae quite as popular as the one from 1987. However with high there most come a low and well then i've seen the episode that I believe marks the down fall for this particular incarnation of the turtles and so then join me as I review the episode that introduced a new sky color , new tone and whole host of new things into this series with the episode in question being called simply just "Get Shredder" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is the turtles are hunting down Shredder and Krang when a new villain emerges one that will test the brothers like they've never been tested before. 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 decent at best since this episodes plot does somewhat explain the red sky in this episode and this episodes episodes plot is also somewhat epic as well but it's also clearly not the franchises best plot either in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Cam Clarke as Leonardo and Rocksteady and Barry Gordon as Donatello and Bebop. Also starring in this episode is Townsend Coleman as Michelangelo and The Car Thief Boss , Rob Paulsen as Raphael and The First Thug , Peter Renaday as Splinter and Vernon Fenwick , Renae Jacobs as April O'Neil , Pat Fraley as Burne Thompson and Krang , Bill Martin as The Shredder and Jim Cummings as Drakus / Berserko.

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 not that bad. Altho you can quite clearly tell that the actors have lost all passion for playing these characters and the actor that they got to play The Shredder is just up bad since it's a really bad voice and this kind character really did deserve alot better then this kind of performance.


Doing the actual animation for this episode is I think the legends and the greats that are currently over at Daewon Media and G & M Productions. 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 and is easily the best part of the episode however I really did notice some animation errors which really did bring down the overall quality of the animation that's in this very episode for me personally in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


For some strange reason the producers of this show chose to change this show from something that's more lighthearted to something that's more action heavy. With this new version of the show taking inspiration from both the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie and Batman: The Animated Series amongst over things which isn't a bad idea except they've just spent several years just doing there own thing and not now there trying to copy something that's just as successful as this show once was and it just doesn't work.

Not only did this show change it's tone but it also changed it's theme song and intro which I actually didn't mind. Since the song itself isn't that bad but the intro itself is just lazy as all heck since it's just stock images from the show mixed in with scenes from the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles live action movie and nothing more then that to contrast this with the original intro which had original animation made just for that intro and it works so much better because it matches with the song alot better and it makes the show all the more fun to watch which just simply isn't the case with this intro at all.


From this episode all this episode all the way up until the shows final episode are known as the "Red Sky Seasons" because for some strange reason all of the outside scenes in these episodes now have a red sky instead of either blue or black. Which is something that was clearly taken from Batman: The Animated Series however in that show since it was a new show it didn't distract the viewer since that show was still creating it's tone where as here in this show it's distracting because the viewer just ONE episode ago had seen the sky as they were really used to on this show.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty three minuets and thirty twos seconds. Which is far to long for a story like this one to last since at it's core this episode has enough story for roughly ten minuets fifteen minuets at a stretch but not a full twenty three minuets and not helping things is the fact that the main bad guy of this episode is introduced halfway into this episode and so he's not built up properly because there just simply isn't enough time to do his character any kind of justice whatsoever.


So now then since this is an action show that means 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. Since for the most part the action is genuinely entertaining and while the fight with The Shredder could have been better the ending explosion of the Channel 6 news building really more then makes up for it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall it really doesn't take much to see why this episode marks the downfall for this show since everything bout this episode is just lacking since even when this show had bad episodes it was still entertaining and that's just not the case with this episode at all 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 means that this very episode erns 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 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom wiki page , the official Batman: The Animated Series fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful the official Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

The Prince And The Pauper 1990 Short Film Review

 


Disney has alot of really famous characters from Goofy to Donald Duck to Minnie Mouse but none are more famous then Mickey Mouse. With the character having basically carried Walt Disney Pictures of his back for what must be close to one hundred years by now and well then in 1990 the studio released a short film featuring it's world famous mouse and so then join me as I review the film that basically has two Mickey Mouse's with the film in question being called simply just "The Prince And The Pauper" enjoy.

The plot of this film is a down his luck beggar finds out that the prince looks exactly like him and the prince gets the idea for the two to switch but when an evil Captain of the guard gets wind of the plan it's to the duo to save the kingdom for 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 personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad with this films plot being kind of cheesy but at the same time it was also a very enjoyable plot to see playout in this very film as well in me freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is Wayne Allwine as Mickey Mouse and The Prince and Bill Farmer as Goofy / Horace Horsecollar / Weasel 1 and Pluto. Also starring in this film is Arthur Burghardt as Captain Pete , Tony Anselmo as Donald Duck , Charlie Adler as Weasel 2 & Weasel 3 / Pig Driver / Peasant and Man In Street , Frank Welker as Archbishop and The King , Elvia Allman as Clarabelle Cow , Tim Eyster as Kid 1 , Rocky Krakoff as Kid 2 and Roy Dotrice as This Films Narrator.

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 not that bad. With all of the actors that you expect to deliver a good performance doing just that however there were a few characters like The Archbishop that had voiced that just didn't match the character design and Bill Farmer just doesn't do that good of a job as Pluto.



Doing the actual animation for this film is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Walt Disney Feature Animation and The Baer Animation Company. 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 heck i'd even go as far as to say that this films animation was feature film worthy because that's how good that the animation that we get in this film well and truly is.


This film is of course an adaptation of the 1881 novel of the same name by author Mark Twain and well to be blunt this film Disneyfied the original source material. Since the original book has a lot of dark moments with both the titular prince and pauper getting beaten and abused by the paupers father several times and the film whilst having some of the books commentary on the English judicial system and class it doesn't go as far as it could have gone to really hit home just how awful Mickey's life is prior to meeting the prince.

On the flip side of this we do get to see how awful the Prince thinks that his life and so we do get to see why he would want to switch lives with Mickey. However in order for this story to work you need to understand both characters reasons for wanting to switch just giving us one characters reason and then having that character force Mickey into going along with this scheme ultimately doesn't do justice to either the story or either of the characters.


To me Pete seemed like a really decent villain in this film since he was rather threatening and he does have a somewhat clear end goal in mind. However what let's the character down is the fact that he's not really evil enough yes this is Disney so the character can't be to evil otherwise you risk making parents and little kids angry but since he's the main villain of the film I wanted to see him be alot more evil then what he already is since in the end that would make us root for the heroes alot more and would make us want to see Pete get defeated all the more.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty five minuets and twenty six seconds. Which I will very much admit is the absolutely perfect running time for this film to have since this film really doesn't all that much there interms of plot to make it a feature length film which is a sham because I would have loved it if Disney did an animated version of this song but as a feature length film since the story itself is a very fairly solid story that is more then strong enough to support a full length feature length Disney animated film.


So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy 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 comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With this film being genuinely quite funny at times with alot of this films jokes feeling like jokes that we'd have seen in early Disney films and not like jokes that we're getting in today's Disney animated films. 


Overall this film is a decent little short film and it's a film that I can see alot of little kids enjoying since it has all of the characters that they enjoy doing all of the things that you'd expect them to do 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 means that this very film erns 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 the official Disney fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Doctor Who: The Time Of The Doctor Review

 


Doctor Who fans there are always two types of Doctor Who episodes that are always going to be hard and those are regeneration episodes and post regeneration episodes. Since with regeneration episodes you have to make it feel epic and yet at the same time small and personal and with post regeneration episodes you have to make the show feel both new and old at the exact same time and so then join me as I review the episode that saw actor Matt Smith leave the show for good with the episode in question being called simply just "The Time Of The Doctor" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when a message is spread across time and space The Doctor goes to a mysterious planet to defend it from all of his greatest enemies. 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 this episodes plotline doing a decent job of wrapping literally every single plotline that was present in the Eleventh Doctor's era as well as telling a genuinely good and a rather emotional story in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Starring in this episode is Matt Smith as The Doctor , Jenna Coleman as Clara Oswald and Orla Brady as Tasha Lem. Also starring in this episode is James Buller as Clara's Dad , Elizabeth Rider as Linda , Sheila Reid as Clara's Gran , Mark Brighton as Colonel Albero , Rob Jarvis as Abramal , Only Fools & Horses legend Tessa Peake-Jones as Marta , Jack Hollington as Barnable , Sonita Henry as Colonel Meme , Kayvan Novak as The Voice Of Handles , Dan Starkey As The Sontarans and Nicholas Briggs as The Voice Of The Cybermen and The Voice Of The Daleks.


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 both of the shows main cast turning in some really good performances with both Matt Smith and Jenna Coleman turning in an absolute master class in acting and this episodes guest cast don't let the side down either with thee performances more then holding up to both that of Matt Smith and Jenna Coleman.



Doing the CGI in this episode is of course the legends and the greats that are over at Milk and Real SFX. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI 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 CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad with there being a few decent effects in this episode but at the same time you do also get a fair amount of bad looking effects as well.


As a regeneration episode i'd say that this episode is perhaps one of the more better ones since it really does feel like an ending. With The Doctor now being forced to do the one thing that he's never done and that's stay in one place and because of that we do get to see what this version of the character can be like since we see him get angry at the TARDIS for taking to long coming back to him and we get to see just what this character is like when he's been all on his own albeit with a whole village to look after and protect.

What really let this episode down for me personally is the fact that all of the villains in this episode seem wasted. Since alot of them just appear in one montage and nothing more then that heck we don't even get to see any of these villainous characters team up which seems like a huge waste since it would be cool to see what these villains are like when they team up to take on The Doctor instead of doing it  on a one by one basis.  


Interms of the actual regeneration itself I actually really did like this regeneration since it really did do a good job of showing us the relationship between The Doctor and Clara. Which is something that helped make this regeneration alot more emotional that what it already is since we know how Clara and The Doctor would react in this situation and when you add in the fact that we get a cameo from Amy Pond who is perhaps the most well known companion for this version of The Doctor it really does make the whole thing feel like an ending which is something that really do indeed want from a regeneration episode.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and fifty nine seconds. I will admit that this episodes running time is both it's biggest strength and it's biggest weakness since giving this episode an extra long running time makes the episode feel all the more epic and special and yet at the exact same time this episode doesn't really explain things all that well with the character of Tasha Lem being the biggest victim of this since we don't really get to find out anything about her which wouldn't be a problem if she was a minor character but she's a major character and yet we're not given a reason to care for her I also didn't like the fact that Clara fell for the same trick twice since it made her look pretty dumb but that's neither here nor there really.


Soo now then since this is an action filled episode that means 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. With this episodes climax having some really good action which is very exciting but that's a given that we're seeing a bunch of Daleks attacking this one village all the while The Doctor himself is struggling with his own issues and yet when he does get his new regeneration cycle he does alot of damage to the Daleks with what I think is regeneration energy and that will always be really freaking cool as all heck.


Overall this was a great regeneration with this episode doing a good job of wrapping all of the plotline from the Matt Smith era altho I would have liked it we got to see some characters from the Matt Smith era which would make it really feel like an ending for me 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 means that means that this very episode erns 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 images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from IMP Awards . Com , the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Batman "Cat Scratch Fever" Review

 


Batman fans it's been almost one year since I last did a review of an episode of the classic Batman: The Animated Series. Well I thought that i'd end that right now and without even knowing that this would be the case both this episode and the last episode of this show that I reviewed "Christmas With Joker" both seem to gave a winter setting and so then join me as I review that sees Catwoman return with the episode in question being called simply just "Cat Scratch Fever" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when he cat Isis goes missing a recently released and on probation Selina Kyle goes looking for her but both she and Batman discover something that's far more sinister going on. 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 with this episodes plot being very well told and being a very strong plot in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  


Starring in this episode is the late and the great Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne / Batman and Efrem Zimbalist Jr. as Alfred Pennyworth. Also starring in this episode is Ed Asner as Roland Daggett , Adrienne Barbeau as Selina Kyle / Catwoman , Virginia Capers as The Judge , Denny Dillon as Jessy , Mary McDonald Lewis as Maven , Danny Mann as A Radio DJ , Ingrid Oliu as Renée Montoya , Brock Peters as Lucius Fox , voice acting legend and Scooby-Doo legend Frank Welker as Isis and Treat Williams as Milo.

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. Which given who is starring in this episode that really isn't a surprise since all of this films cast members are some really good actors and just simply are the voices of their respective characters for a generation of fans and viewers.



Doing the actual animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at AKOM Production. 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 a very mixed bag of affairs since there are quite alot of animation errors in this episode which is sadly a very common thing for alot of AKOM Productions work but when they do produce some animation we do get some great looking animation and some very great looking scenes in this very episode.


What I really liked about this episode is seeing Batman and Catwoman teaming up since this is something that I don't think is seen all that much in this show. Which makes all the more special when these two characters do infact teams up and the fact that Batman has to try and save Selina's life which just goes to show that Batman cares for Selina Kyle and doesn't see her as a villain and nothing more then that.

This episode does get away with quite alot of swearing with the character of Jessy using words that sound alot like swear words. Heck I even had to rewind the episode more then a few times just to make sure I had heard what I thought that i'd heard and it makes me wonder just how these words and phrases made it past the censor espically since the character has a thick accent as well so it made those words sounds alot like swear words which I will admit did add to my overall enjoyment of the actual episode itself. 


It's not all good tho as I didn't like the fact that this episode ended with Catwoman finding her cat Isis since to me it would have made her a much more interesting character if we saw her trying to cope with her cat not being there. Altho I will admit that seeing her trying to be a good guy was an interesting angle to take with the character and while this show would do this angle again only better and with the The Penguin it's nice to see them try it out but with other Batman villains as well.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets and seventeen seconds. Which really was an incredibly short amount of running time to give to an episode like this one since you very easily could have stretched this entire episode up to at the very least forty minuets heck you could have made this episode a two part episode which in the  end would have helped the episode more then hurt the episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then since this is an action show that means 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 this episode having some really good action however it's not the best action that this series has had or will have since even tho this episodes action is pretty cool it's also just very bland looking to look at as well.


Overall this is a rather band from a rather extra-ordinary show but even so this is still a pretty good episode it's just one that is quite clearly not one of this shows more better episodes in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 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 Batman: The Animated Series fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from the actual film that I personally used in this very review being the official Batman: The Animated Series fandom page simply because all of the images that are from this actual / very film and that I personally found that are currently up and on Batman: The Animated Series fandom wiki page are all very really fairly high in quality and as well as being very really fairly high definition.

My First Impressions Of The Willow TV Series

 


Disney fans for some strange reason film companies seem to obsessed with giving classic movies TV show continuations. Well now we have another movie that's been given it's very own TV show continuation with this one containing some of the creative team and cast members from the film that it's based of off and so then join me as I give you my first impressions of the TV show that brings the great Warwick Davis back in a rather iconic role with the TV show in question being called simply just "Willow" enjoy.

The plot of this show is a new evil force is threatening to destroy the world and it's up to a bunch of brave misfits to defeat this new evil 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 altho this shows plot does feel like the stereotypical fantasy plot and nothing more then since it is a very generic plotline to have that in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this show is Warwick Davis as Willow Ufgood , Ellie Bamber as Dove and Ruby Cruz as Kit Tanthalos. Also starring in this show is Erin Kellyman as Jade Claymore , Tony Revolori as Graydon Hastur , Amar Chadha-Patel as Thraxus Boorman , Dempsey Bryk as Airk Tanthalos , Joanne Whalley as Queen Sorsha , Graham Hughes as Silas , Ralph Ineson as Commander Ballantine and Annabelle Davis as Mims Ufgood.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these firs two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty not that bad. With all of the cast from these first two episodes doing their best but what let's them down is the script which gives all of the actors including Warwick Davis absolutely nothing to work with interms of what their characters personality is and what there characters are even meant to be like as well.



Doing the CGI for these first two episodes and quite possibly the whole entire show is ReelEye Company. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that he actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty pretty bad with all of the CGI that we see in these first two episodes looking really cheaply made and just fake as all heck.



I'm going to be honesty i've not seen the film version of Willow all the way through but even I can tell that this show is just not that good. Since from what little I did see of Willow I got the feeling that the people involved with making the film wanted to make a truly great film where as with this show I get the feeling that Disney and Lucasfilm just wanted to use the Willow IP and nothing more then that and as such this show comes across as being nothing more then a cash grab since it has alot of the iconography but it doesn't understand what it was made all of those things from the film really so iconic in the first place.

Without giving anything away they do something with the character of Dove which while it's not a bad idea. What lets this idea down is the fact that they did the big reveal far to early in this show's existence and so any and all emotional weight that this reveal could have had is now lost because we don't know this character and as such a reveal as big as what this one is should have been saved until the final episode or the second to final episode of the show just to make the big reveal all that more impactful and meaningful. 


This show just looks cheap I don't know just how much it cost them to make this show nor do I know just what this shows budget even was. You quite clearly can't see where the money for the show went now if you compare that to the movie you see where the money was on screen and that just goes to show you just how cheap looking this show is because everything from the sets to the production design just looks like a cheaper version of The Lord Of The Rings Of Power which isn't a good thing because that show looked like a cheaply show that's airing on the The CW.

Now this shows first two episodes have / had an exact grand total running time of roughly one hour and forty minuets. So you can watch both episodes in well under two hours however both episodes episode one especially don't need to be that long and what makes things even worse is that for a large portion of episode one we are stuck with these new characters that aren't giving us the audience any reason to like them and it it takes nearly the entire first episode for Willow to first appear in the episode which for a franchise that's named after him just isn't that good of a thing at all.


So now then since this an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty not that bad. Since we do get alot of cool looking action in this shows first two episodes however the issue is that you just don't care about the characters and so you have no reason to want to see them come out of there various action sequences alive and well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this show might please some people but at the same time I can also see this show making alot of fans of the film angry since it just doesn't do the movie any kind of justice whatsoever 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 these first two episodes in this very post and since this is only my first impressions I won't be giving this show a rating however if i'm still watching this show when this shows final episodes airs or is released then i'll give this a show review and a rating as well but s far it's not of to good start at all.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post 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 post from the official Willow fandom wiki age and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very post being the wonderful the official Willow fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Willow fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.
