The Flintstones & WWE: Stone Age Smackdown! Film Review

 


The Flintstones is brand that like it or not hasn't been relevant since the 1980's and WWE is company that hasn't been relevant since the late nineteen nineties. So when WWE announced that they were making a crossover movie with The Flintstones is was a little bit excited since I am a fan of both properties however I had the same the question that alot of you might have right now reading this review and that's why and so then join me as I review the film that is just quite simply utterly really pointless with the film in question being called simply just "The Flintstones & WWE: Stone Age Smackdown!" enjoy.

The plot of this film is Fred wants to raise some money to take his family on vacation and so starts charging people money to let them watch fights. 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 since this films plot does do a pretty decent job of incorporating The Flintstones world and the world of the WWE however the plot itself just isn't that entertaining or even engaging for that matter in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Starring in this film is Jeff Bergman as Fred Flintstone and Kevin Michael Richardson as Barney Rubble. Also starring in this film is Tress MacNeille as Wilma Flintstone , Grey Griffin as Betty Rubble , Russi Taylor as Pebbles Flintstone , Eric Bauza as Dino , Hoppy and Bamm-Bamm Rubble , John O'Hurley as Mr. Slate , Brie Bella as Brie Boulder , Nikki Bella as Nikki Boulder , Daniel Bryan as Daniel Bryrock , John Cena as John Cenastone , Mark Henry as Marble Henry , Vince McMahon as Mr. McMagma , Rey Mysterio as Rey Mysteriopal , CM Punk as CM Punkrock and The Undertaker as Himself.

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 this films cat turning in the best performance that they can do however the issue is that this films script gives the cast nothing to work with interms of what their characters personality is and that does affect the performances in this film. 



Doing the animation for this film is the little known studio that is known simply as Yearim Productions 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 not that bad but at the same time tho alot of the characters are given these really big pupils which are very off putting. 


For some strange reason this film seems to think that having Wilma in a bikini is something that we all want to see. Which just doesn't seem right since this is a film that's aimed at little kids and so having a character appear in very revealing clothing just isn't appropriate since this isn't something that little kids should be seeing and as such isn't something that should have been in this movie at all an why the makers of this film chose to include it in this film really is well and truly beyond me since it's not something that little kids should be seeing.

Even tho he'd been well and truly released by the WWE at this point CM Punk features quite alot in this film. This was only done because the film was good as well finished at the time when CM Punk was released and so then having him dropped or even giving him a reduced role in this film would have caused this film to have quite a big delay and so he was pretty much forced to still be in this film and if your a wrestling fan like me you'll find it to be pretty funny that CM Punk is the main villain of this film.


The classic characters in this film are treated so badly with all of them being given one personality trait with Wilma being reduced to nothing more then a nagging wife and Fred , Barney and Betty are all the dumb one of their friend group. This isn't true to their original characters at all since in the original series Wilma was smart and funny whilst Betty was more of a traditional housewife and while Barney and Fred weren't always smart they always had street smarts while Barney would often show feats of intelligence none of which is shown or even hinted at in this very film that is.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly fifty one minuets and forty five seconds. Which does make this film the shortest of these weird Hanna-Barbera and WWE crossover films which is a shame because this film really did have alot of story to cover more then this running time and as such this film really should have been at the very least one hour and thirty minuets since that would then allow you to fully develop all of your main characters which would go a long way to making this film alot better then what it actually already is.


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 pretty bad. With alot of this films "jokes" just being not that funny which is a shame because the one thing that you expect a comedy to be is funny and when you fail at telling even one good joke then your films already failed in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Overall yeah this film is quite easily one of the worst if not the worst Hanna-Barbera and WWE crossover films since it doesn't respect either property at all but that's what you get when you hire scriptwriters Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas 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 earns 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 The Flintstones fandom wiki page , the official The Jetsons 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 The Flintstones fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official The Flintstones fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Legion Of Super-Heroes Film Review

 


It's safe to say that DC has been dominating the entertainment news recently with James Gunn announcing the first slate of DC films under his ten year plan. As such you'd be forgiven for forgetting that the company also has a direct to DVD animated film out this week well said animated film and it's one that I had very little excitement for and so then join me as I review the film that introduces Supergirl to what's being dubbed the Tomorrowverse with the film in question being called simply just "Legion Of Super-Heroes" enjoy.

The plot of this film is Kara finds herself struggling to adjust to her new life here on Earth and so her cousin Superman sends her into the far of future where she and a bunch of superhero trainees have to stop plot to destroy to the entire galaxy 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 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 since for the most part this films plot is pretty entertaining but at the same time this films plot quite clearly isn't one of the better direct to DVD animated films plot out their either in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is Meg Donnelly as Kara Zor-El / Supergirl , Harry Shum Jr. as Brainiac 5 and Darren Criss as Clark Kent / Superman. Also starring in this film is Matt Bomer as Barry Allen / The Flash , Jensen Ackles as Bruce Wayne / Batman , Cynthia Hamidi as Dawnstar , Gideon Adlon as Tinya Wazzo / Phantom Girl , Ely Henry as Charles Taine / Bouncing Boy , Robbie Daymond as Brin Londo / Timber Wolf & Brainiac 4 , Yuri Lowenthal as Mon-El , Eric Lopez as Rokk Krinn / Cosmic Boy & Condo Arlik / Chemical King , Darin De Paul as Brainiac & Cyrus Gold / Solomon Grundy , Ben Diskin as Floyd Belkin / Arm-Fall-Off-Boy & Brainiac 2 , Victoria Grace as Tasmia Mallor / Shadow Lass , Jennifer Hale as Alura In-Ze , Daisy Lightfoot as Luornu Durgo / Triplicate Girl and Zeno Robinson as Lyle Norg / Invisible Kid & Brainiac 3.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt that 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 alot of this films cast members turning in some pretty decent performances however the issue is that this films script just isn't that good and as such this films actors can't turn in good or even great performances because of the fact that this films script just isn't giving them all that much to work with interms of their characters personalities.



Doing the animation for this film is the legends Studio Grida , Maven Image Platform , Edge Animation Co., LTD and Digital Emation. 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 OK at best with this films animation coming across as being rather choppy in some scenes and rather fluid in others.


Sadly this film does the exact same story that all of these direct to DVD animated films seem to do with Bruce Wayne. That being that he has to learn to trust someone however due to reasons that I cannot say this storyline isn't resolved in this film which makes it all the more pointless since it's the exact same plot like that they always give Batman in these films and quite frankly it's getting boring because it's predictable we know how this plot line is going to play out the second it starts and all it does is make you wonder why they don't just come up with something new or interesting with the Batman character in these films.

This film really doesn't develop alot of it's character arcs all that well with there being a certain plot point which comes out of nowhere. This wouldn't be a huge issue if it wasn't a plot point of the film and as such it is something that should have been handled alot better then what it actually is this is something that could have been very simply just b showing the characters sharing a loving glance or two at each other and by showing them growing closer together but the film doesn't do that and so the plot point just comes out of nowhere.


To this films credit it does have all of the characters that Supergirl meets in he future play apart in the finale and it does it;s best to fully develop those characters. The issue is that this film has so many characters that it makes the film feel overstuffed and since it has so many characters it's difficult for this film to tell it's story and to fully develop all of it;s characters and as is to expected alot of this films characters aren't as developed as they perhaps could have been with alot of this films characters just coming across as being very one note.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty three minuets and twenty three seconds. Well then this film really should have been alot longer then what it actually is just because of the fact that it has so many characters to introduce and this does also effect the story as well as at times the story is sacrificed in order to introduce a new character when that should never be the case the story should always come first and as such this film should have been alot longer.


So now the since this is an action film that means 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 this films action being genuinely quite entertaining with their also being quite alot of really cool moments in this films action many sequences in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall while this isn't a bad film it's also a sign that this trend of bad or just average direct to DVD animated DC films is very sadly continuing onwards and this continuity is sadly not that good either 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 really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 5.5 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 an 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 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.

My First Impressions Of The Tiny Toons Looniversity TV Series

 


I make it no secret that i'm a fan of Tiny Toon Adventures and so when it announced that the show would be coming back I like many of you was understandably rather excited. However thanks to someone leaking the entire fifth episode of the show online I can now bring you this post a whole earlier then what I was originally planning to do so and so then join me as I give you my first impressions of the show that is tiny toony but not very looney with the show in question being called simply just "Tiny Toons Looniversity" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when his favorite hangout spot is threatened with demolition Buster has to find a way to save it 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 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 OK at best since this episodes plot does somewhat have the same feel as a plot of Tiny Toon Adventures which for this show and for this episode is something that is very sorely lacking in this very episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Starring in this episode is Ben Giroux as Buster Bunny , Danny Cooksey as Montana Max and Tessa Netting as Sweetie Bird. Also starring in this episode is Candi Milo as Granny , Jeff Bergman as Bugs Bunny , David Errigo Jr. as Hamton J. Pig and Ashleigh Crystal Hairston as Babs Bunny. Try as I might but I cannot find any voice actor listed for Taz , Dizzy and Plucky Duck this is despite the fact that both Dizzy and Plucky have very prominent speaking roles in this episode.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt abut thew 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 episode that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty decent at best. The issue is tho that alot of the voices just don't fit the characters at all and that is such a shame because the original show gave the characters perfect voices and while the voices don;t effect the performances in this episode the voices are very distracting at best and are just straight up bad at their worst.



Try as I might I cannot find out who did the animation for this show or even for this episode for that matter. 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 bad granted this episode isn't fully finished heck one scene appears in storyboard form but the animation is for the most part all done and what animation we do get is pretty bad and is nowhere near the high standard of the original show.


This show feels like that it was made by people who aren't fans of the original Tiny Toon Adventures since so little about this episode has that Tiny Toon Adventures feel to it. Since this episode is just telling one story and not having several segments inside one episode and while the original show did occasionally have one story cover the entire episode they were often done to tell a much bigger story where as here it's only done just because they felt like that they had to it and not because the story dictated that they do it.

The one thing that you'd expect from the Looney Tunes characters is for them to act looney in some way and while that is in this episode. It here feels like that it was done just because they felt like that they had and not because of the fact that the makers of the show feel like that have a love and respect for the original show which is something that the makers of this show really should have had since that would be the only way to make the show good since the original does have alot of fans even all these years later and when you make a show that doesn't respect the original show then you've already alienated the fans of the original who are the same fans that you should really be trying to please with this show.


One of the things that put alot of people of about this show is the fact that Babs and Buster Bunny are now siblings. Which simply wasn't the case in the original show which makes me wonder why it's a thing in this show since that was the whole point of their "No relation" joke something which the makers of this show quite clearly didn't understand and while it's not something that gets brought up in this episode aside from one side reference from Babs it is something that will play a role in the show itself.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets and twenty five seconds. Which for what s going to be the fifth episode of the show is a great running time to have simply because of the fact that this episode really doesn't have alot of story to cover a large amount of running time and as such giving this episode the running time that it has means that every single in this episode has to be about advancing the plot and as such that means that we do get some really good pacing in this episode as well.


So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / resented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally tought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really bad. I don't think that I laughed even once during this episode which is a shame because during any comedy you always want to make your audience laugh but this episode just doesn't tell any good jokes at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall while this episode is quite alot better then any episode of Velma it's still not a good representation of what the Tiny Toons was or even could be and as such this is just a bad episode of a really bad looking 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 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 well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post from the official Tiny Toon Adventures fandom wiki page , the official Looney Tunes 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 Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the great freaking Google Images are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.

Ultimate Avengers: The Movie Film Review

 


Marvel fans with the Marvel Cinematic Universe taking a very saver dip interms of quality I thought that i'd take a look back at one of the earliest times that earths mightiest heroes gathered together for a film. I will very much that this film is the film that got me into the The Avengers team and the first animated Marvel movie that I ever bought and so then join me as I review the film that brought earths mightiest heroes together for the first time in animated film form with the film in question being called simply just "Ultimate Avengers: The Movie" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when a bunch of aliens attack a SHIELD satellite Nick Fury is tasked with putting together a team that can withstand the enemy threat but the team might also have a traitor in there midst. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us om 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 OK at best since this films plot is fairly engaging but at the same time it's also a pretty boring plot as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is Justin Gross as Steve Rogers / Captain America and Marc Worden as Tony Stark / Iron Man. Also starring in this film is Andre Ware as Nick Fury , James Arnold Taylor as Bucky Barnes , Grey DeLisle as Janet Van Dyne-Pym / Wasp , Nolan North as Hank Pym / Giant-Man , Dave Boat as Thor , Olivia D'Abo as Natalia Romanov / Black Widow , Fred Tatasciore as Hulk and Edwin Jarvis , Michael Massee as Bruce Banner , Nan McNamara as Betty Ross and James K. Ward as Herr Kleiser.

Now then inters 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. Altho given the amount of great voice acting talent in this film I did expect the acting to be alot better but sadly due to this films poor script not giving the cast anything to work with interms of their characters personalities we can;t get great or even good performances because of the fact that this films script just won't allow for it.



Doing the animation for this film is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Dong Woo Animation Co.. 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 altho I did hate all of the shading that all of the characters got which was very distracting and just wasn't needed at all. 


This film is very loosely based of off the first six issues of the 2002 comic book The Ultimates and while this film does in deed make some changes thew core story is still there. Altho I would have liked it if some of the character arcs were the same since there was no need for Tony Stark to keep his identity as Iron Man a secret where as in the book everybody knew who that he was Iron Man and he had to deal with that and that is something that could have made for an interesting character arc in this film.

Speaking of making changes this film changes up the characters of Hank Pym since in the film he has some anger issues and is a bit an egomaniac. Where is in the comic book he;s all of that plus he;s drunk and he abuses his wife and those are things that are he has to overcome over the course of the book where as in this film he doesn't overcome anything and as such the character seems like a watered down version of the comic book version which like I said had a much more interesting character arc and that would have made this version of the character seem alot more interesting.  


While I do like that we get to see the team initially not like each other that doesn't excuse the fact that the film itself is just plain boring. Wit nothing really happening for a large portion of the films running time which is a shame because when we do get something actually exciting or actually interesting in this film we get scenes like Captain America seeing himself on a TV screen thus further highlighting the fact that he is a man out of time or the scene where Black Widow says that she'll gladly follow Captain America on any mission but those good scenes don't make up for the fact that the rest of the film is just straight up boring.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and eleven minuets and twenty one seconds. Which to this films credit this film does use the most of it's running time however with that being said tho this film should have been alot longer since this film just feels like it was a huge set up for Ultimate Avengers 2: Rise Of The Panther and as such this film just feels like your catching a feature length trailer for another film but I will say that this film does have some really good pacing to it.



So now then since this is an action film that means that I have t 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 this films action making good use of showing us what the team can do when they work together however sadly there's not really enough action sequences in this film which is a shame because when we do get an action sequence it is genuinely quite cool to look at in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall while this film might be the first time that we saw earths mightiest heroes appear together in an animated film it's still not that good of a film since it is a pretty dull and rather boring film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all f the good and as well as all of the and things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film earns 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 Marvel Database fandom wiki page , the official Marvel Cinematic Universe 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: Day Of The Daleks Review

 


Doctor Who fans the announcement of a new collection box set is always very exciting however what excited me the most about this upcoming release was the fact that there was a dalek story that i'd never even heard of. So the very first chance that I got I went and tracked down all four episodes of this serial and well then I have some thoughts on this serial and so then join me as I review the serial that reintroduced the world to  the Daleks with the serial in question being called simply just "Day Of The Daleks" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is The Doctor , UNIT and Jo investigate the attempted assassination of a British diplomat only to find an arch enemy of The Doctors is planning something very deadly. Now then interms of what I personally thought / flt 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 acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty rather OK at best since this episodes story is rather thin at best and just down right isn't there at it's worst in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Worzel Gummidge star Jon Pertwee as The Doctor , Katy Manning as Jo Grant and Nicholas Courtney as Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart. Also starring in this episode is Richard Franklin as Captain Mike Yates , John Levene as Sergeant Benton , Wilfred Carter as Sir Reginald Styles , Jean McFarlane as Miss Paget , Anna Barry as Anat , Scott Fredericks as Boaz , Jimmy Winston as Shura , Tim Condren as Guerilla , Aubrey Woods as Controller , Valentine Palmer as Monia , Oliver Gilbert as The Voice Of The Daleks and Peter Messaline as 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 all of this episodes cast members turning in some really good performances however with that being said the voices that they have for the Daleks are just straight up bad and it's no wonder that they removed the people who voiced the daleks after this one episode because of the fact that the Dalek voices were that bad.



This episode marked the return of the Daleks since 1967's The Evil Of The Daleks and well this episode doesn't do them any kind of justice. Since they give them a terrible introduction and they give them little to no motivation in this episode both of which are things that a Dalek story should do since it makes these characters seem like bigger threat then they already are and it doesn't help that they give them a stupid looking eye on their eye stalk which just looks very cartoonish and not at all threatening at all.


This episode also marked the introduction of a new TARDIS interior which i'm in two minds about since having a ore stripped back interior does suit this version of the The Doctor perfectly. However on the flip side of that this interior just doesn't look that visually interesting since it just looks very bland and it;s not really helped by the fact that there very little to no lights in the console room and so you can't really get a good look at it which does make it slightly hard to fully judge this new TARDIS interior.

One of the things that this episode introduces is the idea of The Doctor and Jo suffering from crossed time streams. Which given that appears very early in the first episode you'd think that it's going to play a part in the episode and while it doesn't play apart in the episode in one sense it does in the fact that a group of rebels have to cross their own time streams to stop a potential war from happening but at the same time the whole concept of suffering from crossed time streams doesn't really play a major part in the episode which makes me wonder why they introduced that concept very early on in the episode if there not going to pay it off by the end of episode since it just makes a very pointless thing to include in this episode. 


One of the things that both Jon Pertwee and Katy Manning hated about this episode is the fact that they couldn't get behind the idea of three Daleks launching a full scale attack on this one house. I say that one Dalek is more then enough to launch a full scale attack on this one massive house since we know that Daleks are pretty much unkillable and one Dalek has more fire power then an entire squadron but at the same time having just three Daleks launching this entire attack does seem a little bit on the small side since it doesn't make the Daleks seem like that much of a threat.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty minuets. With this episode being four episodes long with each episode lasting no longer then twenty five minuets with episode one being twenty three minuets and thirty nine seconds , episode two being twenty three minuets and fifty five seconds , episode three being twenty four minuets and twenty seconds and episode for being twenty four minuets and twenty two seconds all of which where perfect running times for each episode to last and it really does help that this story has some really great pacing to it as well.


So now then since there is some action in this 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 not bad. Altho I will admit that the choreography of The Doctor's action scenes was a little of but it's always going to be cool seeing some Daleks launch an all attack in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Overall this was a pretty bad Dalek story but if this episode featured an original villain then it might have been a much more stronger episode but as it is this episode just doesn't work 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 earns 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 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 the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Raw Is XXX Review

 


Wrestling fans it's been a good few months since I last reviewed a wrestling show and well then with Raw turning thirty I thought that now was the right time to review another wrestling show. Since this show has been apart of every wrestling fans life for exactly thirty years regardless of if we watched the WWE or not and so then join me as I review the show that celebrates turning thirty with the show in question being called simply just "Raw Is XXX" enjoy.

The biggest storyline going into this show was of course The Tribal Court storyline and that's really all we get interms if major storylines. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual storylines going into this show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual storylines that are going into this show was in all honesty really good with the Tribal Court segment being very well told and indeed adding in alot more intrigue going into the Royal Rumble in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


The set for this show isn't what i;d thought that it would be since it's just the regular set that's used for Raw these days and nothing more then that. Which wouldn't be a bad thing if this was just a regular episode of Raw but it's not and so the the set for this show show should really represent all of the other previous Raw sets or if they really wanted to do a call back then they bring back the very first Raw set since just having the regular set just makes it look like just another episode of the show and not an anniversary special.

I'm not really a big fan of the one big tron being a set for the show type of thing since it just screams laziness to me. I didn't like it when they did it at Wrestlemania and I don't like it now it's something that really does need to go since WWE sets have always been creative and having one big tron be the entire set for the show just robs any and all creativity that could be going into creating a great looking set i'm sure that there is a way ti use one tron as the entire set but so far i'm yet to see a show that had this idea nailed down and perfected.


Going into the show there was one match that alot of us wrestling fans where excited to seeing and that;s the women's steel cage match. This match had pretty much all of it's time cut because of the fact that the The Tribal Court segment went longer then expected so instead of cutting time from the Bianca Belair vs Sonya Deville or the Seth Rollins & The Street Profits vs Imperium since both of those matches didn't need to be as long as they were and then when you add in the fact that both matches had incredibly longer segments before the it;s very easy to see where you could have find time to cut from both matches and segments and add them to the steel cage match.


To this shows credit it does use the legends on this show alot better then Legends Night did from just a few short years ago. Since the legends on this show are used to not enhance the current roster but are also used to enhance the current storylines as well where as back on Legends Night they mainly used the legends to make fun of the current roster and to not enhance the then current storylines and that's not a great way to use legends since it hurts the product in the long term where as how they used the legends on this show will only serve to help the product in the long term.

I will admit that the legends in this show were really fun with them getting alot of really segments and interactions. However tho the issue is tho that these segments last long and are there just for pure fanservice and nothing more then that which is to be expected on a legends show but at the same time tho it means that you get a lot of segments that last a lot longer then what is really needed I mean heck the DX segment didn't need to run as long as it does and yet with the match it runs for close to ten minuets and it really doesn't need to be that long at all. 


This show should have been more of a celebration of Raw and what it means to the wrestlers and those involved with the WWE. However we don;t get any of that which is a shame because this show was built up as an anniversary special and yet there's nothing on the show gives you a hint of that apart from the wrestlers constantly reminding you of the fact that Raw is turning thirty and that does get annoying after a while but when the show gets the celebration right it really does get it right with the shows opening intro being a prime example of that.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly two hours and thirty two minuets and twenty four seconds. Which if i'm right is pretty much the bog standard running time for Raw these days but at the same time even with this large amount of running time the show could have dine with being at the very least five or ten minuets longer just because of the fact it would have then have allowed for the steel cage match to happen and it wold have allowed for the main event to go a bit longer as well.


So now then since is a wrestling show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual wrestling 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 wrestling that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good. With alot of the shows matches having some really good wrestling in it with the best match of the whole show being The Bloodline vs The Judgement Day in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a great show for legends and while it was a huge step up from the dreadful Legends Night episode of Raw it;s not a great anniversary episode and it doesn't represent how great this show can be when it's at it's 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 this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode earns 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 Pro Wrestling 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 Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.

Doctor Who: The Dalek Invasion Of Earth Review

 


Doctor Who fans there so few episodes out there that are truly deserving of the title of classic and well the episode that i'm about to review for you all is just that. Since this episode is a classic in every single sense of the word from it's iconic villains to it's iconic imagery and even the fact that this episodes features the very first ever departure of a companion and so then join me as I review the episode that saw a classic companion leave the TARDIS with the episode is question being called simply just "The Dalek Invasion Of Earth" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is The Doctor , Ian , Barbera and Susan find themselves in London and have to stop an evil force from taking over the earth. 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 plot being truly breathtakingly beautiful and entertaining in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is William Hartnell as The Doctor , William Russell as Ian Chesterton and Jacqueline Hill as Barbara Wright. Also starring in this episode is Carole Ann Ford as Susan Foreman , Bernard Kay as Carl Tyler , Peter Fraser as David Campbell , Alan Judd as Dortmun , Ann Davies as Jenny , Michael Goldie as Craddock , Michael Davis as Thomson , Richard McNeff as Baker , Graham Rigby as Larry Madison , Nicholas Smith as Wells , Patrick O'Connell as Ashton , Peter Hawkins as The Voice Of The Daleks and David Graham as 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 all of this episodes cast members both series regular and guest cast members turning in some truly wonderful performances with all of this episodes cast members making the most of this episodes wonderful script.



This episode features what is quite possibly the most iconic cliffhanger in all of Doctor Who history with a Dalek emerging from a London river. That one shot is so effective because it tells you without any line of dialog who the main threat is and just how much of a threat that they are and all of this is done by just showing us the characters reactions to seeing this episodes villains and that's it and that is great storytelling because it's a very strong case for show don't tell and that is something that works really well in this episode.


As I mentioned this episode features the very first departure of a companion with Susan leaving the TARDIS. What I really loved about this one scene is just how emotional it was not only for Susan but for The Doctor as well with both of them struggling to speak during the scene and with The Doctor leaving while Susan isn't looking because of the fact that he can't bring himself to say goodbye to her face to face because it would break his heart and I have to admit that I got a little but emotional during it because it's not just one character leaving another character it's a grandfather saying goodbye to his granddaughter possibly for the last time and that's what made the scene really emotional plus it was a really well written and well acted scene as well.

Speaking of the writing that whole final scene actually wasn't written by the episodes writer Terry Nation it was instead written by the writer of the next episode and the shows script editor David Whitaker. Which might explain why that one scene feels so differently from the rest of the episode since the rest of the show is written more like a thriller all throughout the episode and yet that one scene is written more like a drama which while it doesn't create a case of tonal whiplash it is something that does stick out a mile.


To me this episode feels very different from the rest of the show since this one episode looks and feels alot more like a movie then it does an episode of a TV show. Not only that but this episode also shows us that not everyone during the events of this episode is out to help our heroes which means our heroes could be betrayed by every single person that they meet which means that they are constant danger as it mean that anybody could hand them over to this episodes villains all for just the tiniest scrap of food and that makes the episode all the more tense and exciting as well.

Now then this episode has / had an episode count of six episodes with a grad total running time of roughly two and a half hours. Which is pretty much the perfect running time for this episode to have since this episode has more then enough story to cover that amount of running time altho I would have preferred it if this episode was five episodes long since most of episode is basically a filler episode since it has no effect on the actual plot of the episode as a whole but that is a very minor issue in an otherwise great story.


So now then since this is an action show that means that I have ti 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 really good. Especially for the kind f budget that this show had back in the sixties but even so the episodes action was really good and was for the time also really impressive as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Overall this was such a phenomenal episode and it;s one that i;d say is a quite essential watch for any Doctor Who fan since it's great example of what this show can be like when it's at it's 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 this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 9.5 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 , 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.
