Kim Possible 2019 Film Review

 


Disney fans with the company releasing an awful lot of live action remakes of their classic animated properties. It's understandable that one or two would be forgotten and well while I was browsing Youtube one day I happened to remember one such film because unlike all of the other live action remakes this was a Disney Channel Original Movie and so then join me as I review the film that lets face it alot of us all forgot about with the film in question being called simply just "Kim Possible" enjoy.

The plot of this film is Kim Possible has to stop the evil Dr. Drakken from trying to take over the world once and for all. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us on 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 pretty bad since the films plot is at best weak at best and at it's worst just straight up not there in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is Sadie Stanley as Kim Possible , Sean Giambrone as Ron Stoppable and Ciara Riley Wilson as Athena. Also starring in this film is Taylor Ortega as Shego , Connie Ray as Nana Possible , Issac Ryan Brown as Wade , Erika Tham as Bonnie Rockwaller , Todd Stashwick as Dr. Drakken , Alyson Hannigan as Dr. Ann Possible , Matthew Clarke as James Timothy Possible , Owen Fielding as Tim Possible , Connor Fielding as Jim Possible , Michael P. Northey as Mr. Barkin , Nancy Cartwright as The Voice Of Rufus , Patton Oswalt as Professor Dementor and Christy Carlson Romano as Poppy Blu.

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 thats actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With this films cast quite clearly trying their best but the issue here is the fact that this films script just doesn't give any of this films cast members anything to work with interms of what their respective personalities are.



Doing the CGI for this film is Artifex Studios , GloriaFX and the little known studio that's known as Ingenuity Studios. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI 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 CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty pretty bad since there are alot of just straight up ugly looking effects in this film and that is me being very kind.



As alot of you will know this film is remake of the Disney Channel animated show of the exact same name with the show airing from June 7th 2002 with it's final episode airing on September 7th 2007. With this movie keeping alot of things from the cartoon most noticeably is the shows iconic theme song and intro both of which are redone for this movie with the intro being very slower paced which just takes away any and all excitement that the films pretitles scene had built up and the theme song is at best OK.

This movie just straight up gets both Kim Possible herself and Ron Stoppable wrong which is dd because this movie was c-written by the shows creators Bob Schooley and Mark McCorkle who here are joined by Josh Cagan. With Kim coming across as being a self centered egotist and Ron just coming across as annoying and really unfunny which is shame because in the show both characters were really funny and Kim was a very caring person who didn't have that much of an ego and so to see this movie get it's two main characters wrong is just really disheartening to see. 


Really the only two characters that this film right was it's villains who act exactly like their animated counterparts. Which was something that I really liked as there scenes together where the best scenes in the whole entire movie and it's during their scenes together that I manged to laugh just because they were given some pretty funny lines to say and they really did make any scene that were in alot more better which just goes to show you just how wrong this film got it's main heroes especially compared to how  right it got it's main two villains.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty six minuets and twenty five seconds. Which is so much mire longer then what this film really needed to be since if you count just the scenes that add something to main plot and none of the films subplots this film only has enough story their to last around forty to forty five minuets and that's how long this film should have been since then it would have made all of the issues that I just mentioned seem very minor but as it is those issues are now very major issues.


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 OK at best. As we did get some pretty looking action scenes but at the same time tho you could quite clearly tell when they were using a stunt double and that really did take me out of the action as it reminded me that I was just watching movie which is a shame because when the action s good it is like I said OK at best in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall I can very easily see why this movie is forgotten about by alot of people as it really is that bad of a movie and it's one that really does deserve to be forgotten about 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 3.5 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 the official Disney fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Disney fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Worzel Gummidge "Will the Real Aunt Sally...?" Review

 


TV fans it's not uncommon for a TV show to make a very popular side character or a recurring character a main character. However in this case of this show and of this episode it came at the expense of the main character and that hurt the writing of the show which is a shame because this show has consistently been very well written and so join me as I review the episode that proves that you can have to much of a good thing with the episode in question being called simply just "Will the Real Aunt Sally...?" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when another Aunt Sally is seen in the village poor Worzel has to decide which is his real Aunt Sally and which one isn't. 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 but at the same time it's quite clearly not the best plot that this show had since it's missing that special charm that made all of the plots works so well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Starring in this episode is Doctor Who star Jon Pertwee as Worzel Gummidge and Jeremy Austin as John Peters. Also starring in this episode is Charlotte Coleman as Sue Peters , Geoffrey Bayldon as The Crowman , Fawlty Towers co-creator , co-writer and star Connie Booth as Aunt Sally II , Kate David as The Traffic Warden , Michael Ripper as Mr. Shepherd , Una Stubbs as Aunt Sally and Last Of The Summer Wine star Sarah Thomas as Miss Maple.

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 is the something that could be said for every episode of this fantastic show and it really helps that the scripts for this show even this episode is s good that all the cast have to do is say the words as their written and a good performance really will come out very naturally.



Usually when I watch an episode of this show i'm usually stuck wondering how they achieved certain effects. Which is something that just wasn't the case for this episode since all they did was just hide the actors face whenever the two Aunt Sallie's appeared early on in the episode and that was it which was great because it's effect that worked well and since it's such a simple effect it's also a really effective one as well since it leaves us the audience wondering which one was the real one as well and so that we the audience really can now play along with the characters of this episode.


Sadly series four is where they really started to overuse the Aunt Sally character with the character being in pretty much every episode of this season of the show. Which meant that we very sadly got alot of the same plot for this series and alot less focus on Worzel Gummidge which is a shame because that's when the show was at it's whimsical best and while yes we did get some Aunt Sally episodes in those earlier seasons those where often saved for big emotional episodes which in alot of cases did make you cry.

This episode also doesn't make Aunt Sally a more likable character either since she tricks the person who owns her into thinking Aunt Sally II is her and so Aunt Sally II goes away crying because she now won't get to marry the person that she loves. Which does make Aunt Sally seem a bit jealous since she's so used to being the only fairground attraction their but at the same time she really didn't have to get involved with Aunt Sally II and make her miserable as it really doesn't effect her since she'd still be free to whatever she wants to do.


This episode really does lack the emotional punch that alot of Aunt Sally episodes have just because you can see the ending coming a mile away. This is also because the character is so overused at this point that you know exactly how this episode is going to end which means that any and all emotional impact that this episodes ending might have had is now gone because you already know exactly how it's going to end and when you can see the ending coming a mile away then there's something that's quite clearly wrong with this episode.

Now then I cannot for the absolutely life of me remember whatever this episodes running time even was but I do know that for a fact that this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of roughly twenty six minuets. Which is pretty much the bogstanderd running time for this show and to this episodes credit it does make good use of this running time and it has more the enough there in terms of story to cover that running time I only wish that we got to spend more time with Aunt Sally II just so that her character could be a bit more fully developed then what it already is.


So now then since 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 episode 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 episode was in all honesty pretty weak. This is because we don't get alot of time with Worzel trying to work out which Aunt Sally is his Aunt Sally which is a shame because that's when we do get some good comedy in this episode and the same thing goes with the two Aunt Sallie's just missing each other as well since there are some good jokes in those types of moments and scenes in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a pretty weak but it's not as weak as "A Little Learning" was since there is still a point and there is still conflict to be found in this episode and that  does make all the difference 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 Wikipedia , Amazon . Co . Uk 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 really fairly freaking high in definition.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987 TV Series "Invasion Of The Punk Frogs" Review

 


The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are pop culture icons with almost every generation since the 1980's having their own version of the characters. Be it animated or live action we've all experienced some form of what the TMNT brand can be like well I want to talk about one of the episodes that I grew up with just because I like this version of these truly iconic characters and so then join me as I review the episode that introduced punk frogs to the TMNT  world with the episode in question being called simply just "Invasion Of The Punk Frogs" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Shredder sets about making new mutants to join him in his fight against the turtles but when the the turtles get wind of this they go about trying to stop his latest evil scheme 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 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 dumb but enjoyably dumb in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Cam Clarke as Leonardo and Rocksteady , Barry Gordon as Donatello and Bebop and Townsend Coleman as Michelangelo and Attila The Frog. Also starring in this episode is Rob Paulsen as Raphael and The Mayor of New York City , Peter Renaday as Splinter and A News Reporter , Renae Jacobs as April O'Neil and Boy At Florida Swamps , Pat Fraley as Burne Thompson , Napoleon Bonafrog and Krang , Jennifer Darling as Irma and Mother At Florida Swamps , James Avery as Shredder , Jim Cummings as Genghis Frog and Captain Hoffman and Nicholas Omana as Rasputin The Mad Frog.

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 which really isn't all that surprising since alot of this episodes cast members are either voice acting or just acting legends.



Doing the actual animation in this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at A-1 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 not that bad . While there was some animation errors in this episode the overall quality of the animation that we got to see in this episode was of a very quality and looks almost feature length worthy.


As the title of this episode would suggest this is the episode that introduces to us to The Punk Frogs who I really don't mind as characters. Altho what really bugged me about these characters is the fact that none of them are given any kind of personality trait to speak of and so it's hard to tell which frog is who making things worse is the fact that they all sound the exact same and so we the audience have no way of telling which frog is who and that makes it harder for anybody to form a connection with any of these characters.

I do like the idea of The Shredder pretending to be a good guy just so that he could win over the trust of the frogs. Which just goes to show you just how conniving and smart that he is and it makes me wonder why we don't see this side of him more in TMNT media since that would open up a whole new realm of story possibilities and it's something that makes him look more like a smart who knows what he;s doing and alot less like a thug who is doing evil things just because there evil here in this episode he has a clear plan and a clear end goal in mind and that makes all the difference.   


I do like the idea of showing the turtles training since it shows that they take being heroes seriously and are always trying to get better at being heroes. My only complaint is the fact that we don't get to see more of them training since that does open itself up for alot more comedy which would fit in with the over the top and rather campy tone and nature of this show and heck we could even see different turtles training just so we could see how each turtle would handle each different situation that's thrown infront of them.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets and thirteen seconds. Which is pretty much the bog standard running time for an episode of this show to last however I would have liked if this episode was at the very least five minuets longer since it would have allowed you to fully develop the characters of the The Punk Frogs a little bit more and it would have allowed the show makers to fully develop the story a little bit more as well and since this shows entire reason for existing was to sell toys making the frogs more fully developed characters would have also have helped sell toys as well and it really does help that this episode has some really good pacing to it with this episode really just flying by.


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 pretty lackluster. Since even tho this episode builds up a fight between The Punk Frogs and the TMNT we don't get to see them fight at all which could have been pretty cool to see and what little action we get can only be described as OK at best in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this wasn't a bad episode since it was a fun episode to watch but at the same time it's quite clearly not this show at it's best either which does make the episode hard to watch in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very 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 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 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.

My SPOILER FREE First Impressions Of The Gotham Knights TV Series

 


Batman is a very hugely popular character and yet for some strange reason Warner Bros. Pictures don't like sing their character in live action TV shows. Well now we have we another new show set within the world of Batman but doesn't actually feature The Dark Knight himself which to me just defeats the purpose of doing a show that's set within the wold of Batman and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FREE first impressions that takes it's name from a video game with the show in question being called simply just "Gotham Knights" enjoy.

The plot of this show is after Bruce Wayne is killed and found out to be Batman his adopted son Turner Hayes is framed for the crime and so he has to team up with an alley of Batman's and also team up with the sons and daughter of the Batman's enemies in order to work who killed Bruce Wayne and why. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty OK at best since it is some fresh and new for the world of Batman however all it does is cheapen the actual character of Bruce Wayne / Batman in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this very episode is Fallon Smythe as Harper Row , Tyler DiChiara as Cullen Row and Oscar Morgan as Turner Hayes. Also starring in this episode is Olivia Rose Keegan as Duela Doe , former Raven's Home star Navia Robinson as Carrie Kelley / Robin , Misha Collins as Harvey Dent , Anna Lore as Stephanie Brown , Rahart Adams as Brody March , K.K. Moggie as Cressida and Fiona Byrne as Commisioner Yindel.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this 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. That is something that's to be expected tho since the acting in a pilot episode is very rarely if ever good as the acting that we'd get in the rest of any given but it doesn't really help that the characters in this show are given no absolutely personality to work with them whatsoever.



For some strange and unknown reason the makers of this show chose to ignore comic book canon by not including the character of Damien Wayne who is Bruce Wayne's actual son. Which to me makes no sense since now you have create a character who is basically Damien Wayne in everything except his name and he even fills the exact same role that Damien Wayne fills so it just makes me wonder why they didn't just use him in the first place since he's not being used in any live action projects so we really do know that Warner Bros Pictures. isn't forcing them not to use him.


Unlike Batwoman this show does have a somewhat solid reason for not having Bruce Wayne / Batman appear in the show. Since Batman wouldn't just leave Gotham City for no reason and so the reason that this shows gives us does work well enough for that character altho at the same time it does make the character look stupid for reasons that I can't go into because of spoilers but once you see it you'll know it but it's at least a much more better reason then what the Batwoman TV show gave us for not including this truly iconic character.

I'm not going to lie here none of this shows main characters are likable at all which works for the characters that are meant to be the villains. It doesn't however work for characters like Turner and Stephanie Brown who are just unlikable characters and so what we are left with is a bunch of unlikable characters none of whom are made out to be even slightly likable in this episode which gives us no characters to route for which is something that you should always have in a story regardless of the medium that it's taking place in. 


I will say that all of the characters in this episode the character of Duela Doe is the most entertaining character. The best way that I can describe her is that she's a cross between The Joker and Harley Quinn since she's just as insane as The Joker and she's just as funny as Harley Quinn which made her scenes all the more entertaining even when she's with the cardboard cutout that is Turner Hayes and she's the one character that I can see being a fan favorite since she is entertaining to watch and is quite easily the best part of this episode.

Now then his episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty one minuets and thirty one seconds. Which just isn't long enough for this episode to set up it's world , it's story and all of it's characters and as such this episode really should have been one hour and thirty minuets long since then you;d be able to set everything up and flesh out all of your characters which in turn would make it alot easier for us the audience to form a connection to these characters and it would have given you the chance to make these characters actually likable as well. 


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. Altho what let's the action in this episode down is the fact that the editing is so fast paced that you can hardly make out what's going on and the fact that this episode just isn't that bright and so you can barely make out what's going on in this episodes action scene which makes the show look bad in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this show isn't going to last that long I can tell you that right now this is because of the fact that this show is that bad and us that disrespectful to the character of Batman 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 as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post from the official Batman fandom wiki page ,the official Arrowverse fandom wiki page , the official Gotham Knights 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 official Gotham Knights fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the great freaking the official Gotham Knights fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.

Batman: The Doom That Came To Gotham Film Review

 


It really hasn't been a good few months for Warner Bros Animation with Velma tanking on HBO Max and a direct to DVD animated Scooby-Doo movie leaking in it's entirety online. Well sadly it looks like another movie has leaked online once again in it's entirety since this movie wasn't due out until March 28th of this year and so then join me as I give you my review of the film that is an adaptation of a Mike Mignola comic book mini series with the film in question being called simply just "Batman: The Doom That Came To Gotham" enjoy.

The plot of this film is Bruce Wayne returns of Gotham after twenty years away at sea and when he does he discovers that Gotham is in great danger. 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 really good with this films plot being very engaging and at times being really very entertaining as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is David Giuntoli as Bruce Wayne / Batman , Tati Gabrielle as Kai Li Cain and Christopher Gorham as Oliver Queen / Green Arrow. Also starring in this film is voice acting legend John DiMaggio as James Gordon , Patrick Fabian as Harvey Dent / Two-Face , Brian George as Alfred , Jason Marsden as Dick Grayson and a Young Bruce Wayne , Karan Brar as Sanjay “Jay” Tawde , David Dastmalchian as Grendon , Navid Negahban as Ra’s al Ghul , Emily O'Brien as Talia al Ghul and Martha Wayne , Tim Russ as Lucius Fox , Matthew Waterson as Jason Blood / Etrigan , Jeffrey Combs as Kirk Langstrom , William Salyers as Oswald Cobblepot / The Penguin and Professor Manfurd , Gideon Adlon as Barbara Gordon / Oracle and Plant Creature / Mysterious Woman and Darin De Paul as Thomas Wayne.

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. Since we do get alot of really good performances in this film however there are some actors and actresses in this film that just don't even bother to turn in a good performance in this film and that really does bring down the overall quality of acting that we get in this film which is a shame since the acing is for the most part really good.



Doing the animation for this film is the legends and the greats that are currently over at The Answer Studio. 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. Since you can quite clearly tell that alot of care and attention went into this films animation but at the same time tho this films animation did also look pretty cheap looking and was rather uninspired.


This film is of course adapted from the comic book of the exact same name which was co-written by Hellboy co-creator Mike Mignola and Richard Pace. With the comic book being published from November 2000 to January 2001 and lasting only three issues and while I personally haven't read or even heard of the comic book I can tell right from the cover of the comic book that this film is being pretty faithful to the designs at least when it comes to Batman but weather or not it;s faithful interms of the story or characters I cannot say.

This films does give us alot of backstory for a few of Batman's classic villains some of which aren't really needed. Since we didn't really need to see who the villain was at the start of the film since it adds nothing to the overall plot of the film and was something that could have been left on the cutting room floor but at the same time tho all of the villain origin stories that we got in this film are really cool and it;s always great to see these characters that all know and love in a different century which is always  going to be a really fun and cool and unique idea no matter what media it's in. 


I'm not going to lie this film felt like it was a huge rip off of Batman Begins since everything regarding the films plot was also done in Batman Begins right now to Bruce Wayne leaving Gotham City for a number of years. All this did was remind me that I could have been watching a much more better film granted they most likely lifted this films plot right from the book but when the plot of  one movie is almost the exact same plot of another and better Batman movie then maybe you should look into making some changes in order to make your films plot standout alot more.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour ad twenty six minuets and twenty seconds. Which for a film like this one is such a short running time since it means that the film has to rush along to it's plot point and as such it can't fully develop it's mystery or it's characters with it's mystery element being so thin that it might as well as not even be there and it's characters being so one dimensional that they come of as being cardboard cut outs and not fully formed characters both of which could have been solved if this film had a much longer running time and this is also true for this films pacing which really does make this film feel alot more longer then what it actually is.


So now then 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 one of the more entertaining parts of the film since that was when the film got fairly creative with it's visuals which helped to make the films action a visual treat for the eyes to see in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this film had all of the potential to be a great Batman direct to DVD animated film but it just falls under it;s weight which is a shame because when this film is good it;s great but sadly this film is pretty bad for all of the reasons that i've listed an then some 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 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 tat I personally use in this very review from the official DC Database fandom wiki page , the official Batman 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 really fairly freaking high in definition.

Worzel Gummidge "Worzel And Saucy Nancy" Review

 


I think that it's quite obvious by now that I really love watching the classic episodes of Worzel Gummidge. As such I thought that i'd review an episode of the show that i've been thinking about reviewing for some time simply because it's a lighthearted episode that is just nothing more then pure fun to watch and so then join me as I review the episode that introduces us to another classic character played by a comedy great with the episode in question being called simply just "Worzel And Saucy Nancy" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Worzel sneaks on a coach to go on an old age pensioners trip to the sea side where he bumps into a ships figure head and an old flame. 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 nice with this episodes plot being a really fun and nonsense plot which I thought was good and really well told and really fun as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Doctor Who star Jon Pertwee as Worzel Gummidge , Una Stubbs as Aunt Sally and Dame Barbara Windsor as Saucy Nancy. Also starring in this episode is Jeremy Austin as John Peters , Charlotte Coleman as Sue Peters , Mike Berry as Mr. Peters , Myrtle Devenish as 1st Pensioner , Roy Evans as Whelk-stall Owner , Megs Jenkins as Mrs. Braithwaite , Billy John as A Shepherd , Bartlett Mullins as 2nd Pensioner , Jeremy Pearce as Young man , John Sharp as Fairground man and an uncredited Geoffrey Bayldon as The Voice Of The Whelk-stall Owner.

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 u in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Which for this series is nothing as every episode that i've seen thus fat has had some really good acting within it and when you get a bunch of really talented actors and actresses you always end up with a bunch of really good performances which is what we got in this episode.



This is the film that introduced Carry On star Dame Barbara Windsor to the world of Worzel Gummidge. I have to admit that her role as Saucy Nancy isn't that far remove from quite literally any of the characters that she would go on to play in the Carry On films since just like her Carry On characters Saucy Nancy has a bit of a cheeky side altho it's rather toned down to fit a kids audience and so it isn't that much of a stretch for her play basically the same character that's she's been playing in the Carry On films at this point in time.


As I always do when i'm preparing to do a review of a Worzel Gummidge I watched this episode twice once without the audio commentary and once with the audio commentary just so that I could find out some background information on the episode in question. With what I found out this time around being how they managed to make Saucy Nancy move since the character doesn't have any legs and so what the team did was basically have Barbara Windsor on a board with wheels attached to it and have a member of the crew literally hide in the back of her dress and out his arms around her waist and just push her it's a simple trick but it's one that works rather well since for years it did have me wondering how they managed to make this character move around in the first place.

When I review an episode of Worzel Gummidge i'm always using the new DVD set just because it has a new transfer and fully restored images. Which is normally great since the pictures don't usually drop down in quality however in this episode for some reason near the end of the episode the image does take a slightly noticeable dip in quality which was something that I found to distracting and it makes me wonder why they didn't correct that section of the episode since it remains like that for the rest of the episode since even tho it's a very minor issue it is one that took me out of the episode and reminded me that I was just watching a TV show and nothing more then that.


This is the episode were they started to use the characters of Jon ad Sue less since as they where played by child actors they by law could only work a certain amount f dates per year.Which means that outside of three scenes in this episode they actually couldn't take part in the filming of this episode which is a shame because it makes me wonder what these two kids would have done with Worzel at the sea side and while there absence is indeed felt in this episode they really realistically couldn't have done all that much and having them in the episode would have made the episode a little less fun since they would have been busy trying to get Worzel , Aunt Sally and Saucy Nancy out of trouble which would have made the episode a little bit less fun and funny as well.

Now then whilst I cannot for the absolutely life of me remember whatever this episodes grand total running time even was I do know that for a fact that this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of roughly twenty five minuets. Which is pretty much roughly the bog standard running time for a Worzel Gummidge episode to last ad while this episode has more then enough plot to cover that running time I do wish that this episode was slightly longer as that would have opened us up to having more jokes and seeing these rather wonderful characters interact with each other which is always funny no matter what the episode 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 episode 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 episode was in all honesty really good. With this episode having alot of really funny jokes in it and not all of this episodes jokes are for kids either with this episodes best joke being a rather hidden adult joke which I really loved as it was such a funny joke that was rather subtle and rather well written as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a really funny episode that plays to the strengths of Jon Pertwee , Una Stubbs and Dame Barbara Windsor since it's comedy is so out there that it really will make alot of you laugh out loud 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 an 8.5 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 IMP Awards . Com , Wikipedia , Amazon . Co . Uk 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 really fairly freaking high in definition.

Scooby-Doo And Krypto Too Film SPOILER FREE Film Review

 


Scooby-Doo fans it is so rare that something like this happens but at somepoint during Saturday night the entirety of the next Scooby-Doo direct to DVD animated film leaked online. As such for the first and only time that I can think off i'm making this review a SPOILER FREE one as the film hasn't even been announced yet and so then join me as I give you all my SPOILER FREE review the film sees two famous dogs team up with the film in question being called simply just "Scooby-Doo And Krypto Too" enjoy.

The plot of this film is after the Justice League mysteriously disappears it's up to the mystery inc gang to find out what happened to them before all of their villains destroy Metropolis. 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 really good with this films plot being genuinely quite entertaining and engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is voice acting and Scooby-Doo legend Frank Welker as Scooby-Doo and Fred Jones and Grey Griffin as Daphne Blake and Wonder Woman. Also starring in this film is Matthew Lillard as Shaggy Rogers , Kate Micucci as Velma Dinkley , PJ Byrne as J.B. , Victoria Grace as Mercy , Charles Halford as Lex Luthor , Nolan North as Computer , Clark Kent / Kal-El / Superman and The Joker , Tara Strong as Harley Quinn , Helen and Lois Lane , Fred Tatasciore as Solomon Grundy and Perry White , James Arnold Taylor as Jimmy Olson and Rex Ruthor and Nicole Thurman as Mayor Fleming.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. Which shouldn't come as a surprise at all as this films cast is mostly made up of voice acting legends and so then of course they are all going to turn in some really good performances in this film even more so when you take into account that alot of these actors have been voice their respective characters for decades now at this point. 


Doing the animation fr this film is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Digital Emation. Inc.. 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 really good and was a lot better then what I thought that it was going to be with all of the characters having some really nice fluid movements to them but at the same time alot of the backgrounds do look the exact same tho.


For some strange reason the character of Krypto has been getting a lot of love in recent years with the character of course being the main character in DC's League Of Superpets and now this film. Which us weird because prior to either of these movies the only time that the character was in a main role outside of the comics was in the 2005 animated TV show Krypto The Superdog which even then wasn't that popular of a show and so to see him suddenly get all of this love and attention from both Warner Bros Pictures and DC just seems weird to me since they've never really given much love before the release of either f these two movies.

To say that this movie came as a surprise to anyone would be like saying it's bad that they cancelled the already completed Scooby: Holiday Haunt. Since this movie was leaked before it was even officially announced so there's not even an IMDB page for this movie yet which does make me wonder who in the heck leaked this movie because this isn't just like your leaking a short scene or a piece of promotional material this is he whole entire movie which means that someone at i'm guessing Warner Bros Pictures is about to get fired because they messed up big time.


Without giving away to much about the film this films mystery is really bad with main villain being exactly who you think it is just film reading which characters are in this film. Which I kind of hoping wasn't the case since it would make the movie super predictable and when it did turn out to be the case I just wasn't surprised since alot of the time these more modern Scooby-Doo direct to the DVD animated movies go for the obvious villain but at the same time by going for the obvious villain they rob you of the ability to work out who did it for yourself which was always apart of the fun for any piece of Scooby-Doo media.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and eighteen minuets. Which is pretty much the bog standard running time for these more modern direct to DVD animated Scooby-Doo movies ad it is something that really does work well enough for this film since the mystery is super easy to work out and so all your doing is spending the time watching the characters catch up to what you already know which thankfully comes along rather quickly thanks to this films really good pacing.


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 really good. With this film shockingly having alot of really good jokes in  it but the recurring joke with Lex Luthor does get a little tiresome and is one of the films worst jokes in the whole entire film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a really good film and it;s one that when this film does eventually get released I can see alot of Scooby-Doo fans liking it but I can also of comic book fans not liking all that much 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 in this very film in this very review ad as such that means that this very film earns itself a grand old score 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 DC Database fandom wiki page , the official Scooby-Doo fandom wiki page , the official DC Movies 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 Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking Google Images are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.
