Aladdin: The Return of Jafar Film Review

 

The Disney direct to DVD or VHS sequels are a weird bunch as alot of them are just re-edits of episodes of a TV show. However you do sometimes get films that not only tell original stories but also serve as prequels or even pilots to an animated show with the film that i'm about to review for you all today being one such film and so then join me as I review the film that is the very first ever direct to VHS Disney animated film with the film in question being called simply just "Aladdin: The Return of Jafar" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when Jafar's lamp is found by the criminal Abis Mal it's up to Aladdin and friends to stop the returning Jafar 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 t us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad as it did good of advancing the characters from the first film and was genuinely quite engaging and entertaining as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Full House and Fuller House star Scott Weinger as Aladdin , Linda Larkin as Princess Jasmine and The Simpsons legend Dan Castellaneta as Genie. Also starring in this film is the late Gilbert Gottfried as Iago , Jason Alexander as Abis Mal , Jonathan Freeman as Jafar , voice acting legend Frank Welker as Abu and Rajah , Val Bettin as the Sultan and voice acting legend Jim Cummings as Razoul.

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 isn't all that surprising as lot of the cast for the first film did return to voice their respective characters in this film but as good of an actor as Dan Castellaneta is he's not as good as Robin Williams was as The Genie. 

Doing the animation for this film is Walt Disney Animation Australia and Walt Disney Animation Japan. Now then as for 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 wasn't all that bad as it was a lot better then the animation that we got in third Beauty And The Beast but with that being said this was still a step down in terms of animation quality but the animation in this film is alot better then what it really had any right to be.

As I mentioned at the very start of this review this film is basically the pilot for the Aladdin animated TV series. As this film does explain a few things that that show just doesn't bother to explain but what's weird tho is that even tho this movie is set before the show the actual show itself premiered some months before the events of the movie and so the show contained spoilers for the movie which makes me wonder if there was a communication error because that seems like to big of a mistake to be done without someone not telling someone else no to air the show first.

For some strange reason the makers of this film chose to make Iago the main character which just doesn't work. As the character is not only really unlikable due the events of the first film but he also has a really annoying voice which is fine for a side character bu when you make that side character the main character that's when it becomes an issue as nobody wants to send along time with a main character whose voice is really grating and as a result of this Aladdin who should be the main character feels alot more like a side character in his own movie.

As with the first film this film is also a musical with the films musical numbers being written by Dale Gonyea , Silversher & Silversher , Randy Petersen and Kevin Quinn. I will admit that while this films songs obviously aren't going to be as good as the songs in the first film we do get some pretty decent songs in this film with songs like "I'm Looking Out for Me" and "Nothing in the World (Quite Like a Friend)" being the best songs in the whole entire film with my personal favorite song being "Nothing in the World (Quite Like a Friend)" just due to how much fun that song is.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and nine minuets and twenty one seconds. Which was a lot shorter then what that it would be and it's alot shorter then what it really should have been as you very easily could have gotten this film up to one hour ad thirty minuets at the most just by expanding upon the films story and by doing that you could dive alot more into what Jafar's main goals are as as it is his main goals are just revenge on Aladdin and that's it but if you had a longer running time you could delve more deeper into his goals but I will admit that this film does have some decent pacing to it tho.

So now then since this is an action film that means that I have to 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 very well done especially for the small budget that this film had and it's during this films action scenes that the animation really does get to shine through in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall for a line of direct to VHS and then later direct to DVD films that are largely hated by alot of Disney fans this one really isn't all that bad as it does do a good of continuing on the story in a way that feels natural and organic 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 6.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for a 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 , Gargoyles Wiki and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get all of the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful and the truly fantastic Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the wonderful Google Images are all really fairly high in quality and as well as also being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Stan Lee Film Review

 

Their are so few comic book legends out their ad even fewer that have made a huge impact on popular culture like the person who is the focus of the film that i'm about to review for you all today. It was only a matter of time before this person got their very documentary all about them and well to celebrate what would have been his one hundredth birthday Disney+ have released a documentary all about the most famous man in Marvel history and so then join me as I review the film that is most likely the most boring documentary released in 2023 with the film in question being called simply just "Stan Lee" enjoy.

As this film is a documentary film it doesn't really have a plot to speak of with the main focus of this film being about the life and times of Stan Lee. I have to admit that I really liked the idea of this man getting his life's story finally told in some form my only issue is that it's just one person telling the story and so the film is filtered through this person with that person also being the main focus of the film I really do feel that if they got more people to help to tell this films story in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

The only person really starring in this is Stan Lee himself and this is a huge issue for me and it's part of what makes this film boring. As all your doing is just listening to the same man talk over and over again and while yes the likes of Jack Kirby and Joan Lee do appear through the use of archive audio and archive footage Stan Lee is the only person appears in newly filmed footage and in newly recorded audio all of which just make the film feel boring as there's only so long that you can listen to the same person talking which in turn makes this film feel alot more like a badly done up audio book then an actual documentary film.

I will always love the fact that there isn't any repeating being done interms of what the people being interviewed are saying. However as there's only one person talking in this whole entire movie that's never going to be an issue and I do like the fact that Stan talked quite alot about his life his home and how he was when he wasn't writing as those are things that a documentary should be about as it gives you something new about whoever the main focus of the documentary is and the fact that it was included in this film does tell me that Stan was a bit of a workaholic but he also knew when to leave his work behind him and be with his family.

I was really shocked to see find out that they don't mention the history of the X-Men and much of an impact those characters still have on popular culture tot his very day. They give alot of attention to The Fantastic Four ans Spider-Man and rightfully so as they are important to how marvel became the success that it is today but so are teams like X-Men and The Avengers with the The Avengers only getting a passing mention in the film which is weird because with out all of these heroes the comic book industry wouldn't be the same that it is today.

What I really loved about this film is the fact that it showed just how bad the Comics Code Authority was. As in this film we come to find out that when a government company asked Marvel to do anti drug story it was the Comics Code Authority that was saying no even tho the story says that drugs are bad an actively tells it's readers not to do drugs in the first place and so Marvel published all three ant drug stories with out their approval which just goes to show that Stan Lee really wasn't afraid to stand up for what is right.

This film really does skip over alot of big moments at Marvel with none of the stuff from the nineties with the company almost going bankrupt not even getting mentioned. Which is a shame because those would have made for some really interesting parts of this movie and given just how involved Stan Lee still was with Marvel at the time it would have made sense for them to cover that topic as it's something that no doubt would effected both his professional life and his personal life as well and to skip over that part of Marvel history to me makes now sense whatsoever.

To me this film feels like a movie adaptation of his Wikipedia page as this film adds very little actually new information about Stan Lee. Which shouldn't be the case as the film covers some of the time that he spent in the military granted he didn't see any action as he was based in New York but still the makers of the film could have gone into more detail about that aspect of his life just like how they could have covered why they chose to discontinue the Captain America comics once World War 2 ended bottom line there's so much that could have been added to this film that would have made it better but sadly isn't included in this film.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty six minuets and thirteen seconds. Which granted is alot better of a running time then Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story but given this films lack of content it also felt oddly far to long with alot of this film just dragging on and on to the point where I was seriously considering turning the film off and none of that is helped by the films fairly dreadful pacing either all of which make the film feel alot longer then what it actually is.

So now then as this film does feature some comedy in it that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With this film doing a very good job of highlighting of just how funny of a man Stan Lee was especially when he was going around promoting Marvel as the man really did know how to work a room in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this isn't a bad documentary but it's just one that felt very underwhelming and because of the stuff that they didn't cover in this film all of which would have involved Stan Lee the film really does come off as feeling incomplete 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 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 got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Disney fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com 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 really fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Skull Island TV Series SPOILER FILLED Review

 

The Monsterverse is a cinematic universe that alot of people seem to have forgotten about with their being no new entries since 2021. Well now it's back with it;s first animated TV series rather rightfully starring a really iconic and very popular monster and well as somebody who has quite literally seen every single film in the Monsterverse multiple times and so you all just knew that I had to check this show out and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the show that sets out to explore the mysteries of Skull Island with the show in question being called simply just "Skull Island" enjoy.

The plot of this show is when a family , their friend , a stranger and group of mercenaries wash up on Skull Island they have to find a way of off the island before one of the islands many monsters finds and kills them all. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad with this shows plot being a bit of a slow burn but also being rather enjoyable and engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this show is Nicolas Cantu as Charlie , voice acting acting legend Mae Whitman as Annie , Darren Barnett as Mike and Benjamin Bratt as Cap. Also starring in this show is Betty Gilpin as Irene , voice acting acting legend Phil LaMarr as Sam and Fryda Wolff as Island Girl. There are more actors and actresses in this show however I cannot find a complete cast list for this show anywhere online and so I really can't credit every single person who is starring in this show despite this show having some pretty big voice acting talent.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad. Which given this shows voice cast isn't all that surprising as this show really does have some really talented voice actors working on it and so then it only makes sense that they would turn in some really good performances in this show.

Doing the animation for this show is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Powerhouse Animation Studios Studio Jangdokdae , Studio Mir and Studio Nine Lives. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good with the shows animation having the same inspired anime look to it that Castlevania had to it's show as well and it's something that really does both work well for and look good in this show.

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

I have to admit that it's really hard for me to work out where in the Monsterverse timeline this show is meant to take place as if it's sets before Kong: Skull Island then the sea creature that attacks this shows cast should have also have attacked the cast of Kong: Skull Island. The only thing that I know for sure is that this film does take place before the events of Godzilla Vs Kong which gives us a whole long time for this show to take place as there really is a large that this show could possibly take place in and that might also mean that we shouldn't expect this show to reference things from the movies or to set up things for future movies.

What I really didn't like about hi show or at the very least these first batch of episodes is the fact that they really hold off on showing Kong. It takes two and half episodes just to get a tiny glimpse of the king of Skull Island and even then he doesn't do anything that's all that meaningful he just shows up scares an alligator away and that's it and then he doesn't really show up again until episode four this is a King Kong themed show that shockingly has very little King Kong in it with the show instead focusing on it's human cast of characters.

This wouldn't be an issue if alot of us are coming to see the human characters but we're not as lot people myself included are coming to this show to watch King Kong. However I will admit that while King Kong does feel alot more like a side character in his show a few of the human characters are very enjoyable like Annie for example always managed to get a chuckle out of me as she's someone who chose to stay on Skull Island when she was very young and so has grown up on the island which does lead to some pretty fun and funny conversations with best friends Charlie and Mike who are trying to get of off Skull Island.

Now then each of this episode of this show has / had an exact grand total running of no longer then thirty minuets. With this first batch of episodes being eight episodes long and I will admit that this show really is suited to the twenty five minuet running time as this show has more then enough story to cover that amount of running time and if you really wanted to binge watch this entire batch of episodes it should only take you at very least two and a half to maybe three hours and this show is really helped by the fact that it has some really good pacing in alot of it's episodes. 

So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad. As the shows action is pretty fun to watch when Kong is fighting over monsters but alot of the time all the action in this show mainly consists of is the human characters running away from a monster and there's only so long that you can watch that before it gets dull and boring which sadly for this show is really quite quickly and that really does bring down the overall quality of the action in this show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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

Overall given how this batch of episodes end and given that Netflix likes to have several batches of episodes all good to go it's safe to assume that this show will be getting more episodes released by the end of the year and with this being a decent show I can see it getting a good healthy following as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very show in this very review and as such that means that this very show 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 Godzilla fandom wiki page , Wikizilla 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 Wikizilla since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Wikizilla are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

My SPOILER FILLED First Impressions Of The Secret Invasion TV Series

 

I think that it's fair to say that the MCU has been a bit rocky as of late with alot of the movies and TV shows genuinely not being all that good. Well the house of ideas is now back with a new live action TV series which until recently ha been promoted very well and well you all just knew that I have t check out the show the very first chance that I got and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED first impressions of the show that brings some old characters back into the fold with the show in question being called simply just "Secret Invasion" enjoy.

The plot of this is episode is Nick Fury learns of Skrull activity taking place on earth and so sets of on a mission to stop 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 not that bad but at the same time it's plot that also feels very generic as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is this shows executive producer Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Ben Mendelsohn as Talos. Also starring in this episode is Kingsley Ben-Adir as Gravik , Killian Scott as Pagon , Samuel Adewunmi as Beto , Scream VI star Dermot Mulroney as Ritson , Richard Dormer as Prescod , Game Of Thrones star Emilia Clarke as G'iah , Olivia Colman as Sonya Falsworth , Don Cheadle as James Rhodes , How I Met Your Mother star Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill and Sherlock star Martin Freeman as Everett Ross.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Which isn't really a surprise given who is starring in not only this episode but in the show as whole but the issue is tho is that this films script doesn't really give the actors alot to work with interms of what their respective personalities even are.

Doing the CGI for not only this episode but also for the show as a whole is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Luma Pictures. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honest not that band granted we don't get alot of CGI in this episode but based on what very little CGI we did get the CGI in this episode looked not that bad.

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

The tagline for this show "Who Do You Trust" is very fitting because within the first ten minuets of the episode we find out that Everett Ross has a Skrull doppelganger. This right here shows us that no character is of limits and it means that anybody that we think is a hero could infact turn out to be one of the villains my only real issue with this is is that they did the reveal of Everett Ross's Skrull doppelganger far to early on in the shows run as it would have made for a really shocking plot twist if it happened say half way through this shows run instead of within the first ten minuets of this shows opening episode.

I find it very hard to believe that Nick Fury would straight up ignore Maria's calls for help as he is someone who would do the right thing. He is not someone who would ignore a friends plea for help no matter how trivial it is and this is something that the makers of the show should have addressed as it's something that really doesn't mesh with the character that we've seen since 2008's Iron Man film where he only got involved because of Tony announcing that he is Iron Man and heck in Avengers Assemble he openly ignored orders to blow up New York because it was the right thing to do.

Speaking of Maria Hill this episode straight up kills her off at the end of the episode which I will admit is something that I didn't see coming. However it doesn't have that same impact for the exact same reason that the Everett Ross doppelganger reveal doesn't have the same impact because it was done far to early as a death of a legacy character like Maria Hill would have had much more of an impact if it happened later on this shows run and heck they could have had Everett's Skrull doppelganger be the one to kill her and that would give you a nice double plot twist reveal.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly fifty two minuets and forty four seconds. Which I will admit was not the running time that I was expecting this episode to have as alot of these Marvel Cinematic Universe shows have running time of around thirty minuets and to see one that's nearly an hour long really did shock me and it;s helps this episodes has more then enough story there to cover that running time and this episode really does have some really great pacing to it as well.

So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that 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 bad. As you could very easily tell when they were and weren't using stunt doubles and it doesn't help that the action was generic at best in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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

Overall this really wasn't that bad of a first episode as it does a really good job of setting up the plot of the show but at the same time it's not as good as perhaps could or even should have been 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 post 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 and then i'll give this a show review and a rating as well.

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 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 the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Beauty And The Beast: Belle's Magical World Film Review

 

When people think of the classic Disney Renaissance they usually think of the theatrically released films. However what alot of people forget is that Disney also made a ton of direct to VHS later direct to DVD sequels to their most popular and well for a time one of their most popular was Beauty And The Beast which managed to spawn not one not two but technically three direct to VHS movies with this review being of the third movie and so then join me as I review the film makes the live action 2017 remake look good be comparison with the film in question being called simply just "Beauty And The Beast: Belle's Magical World" enjoy.

The plot of this film is the very first thing that's also wrong with this film as this film has no plot to speak of whatsoever. With the film instead being made up of three unconnected animated segments all of which have nothing to do with each other which if this was originally meant to be a film would be understandable but this was never meant to be a film and so the team just didn't bother to find away to link these segments together either by new animation or even perhaps a simple voice over and as such this films lack of a plot is a really big issue in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Paige O'Hara as Belle , Robby Benson as Beast and David Ogden Stiers as Cogsworth and as The Narrator. Also starring in this film is Gregory Grudt as Chip , Anne Rogers as Mrs. Potts , Jerry Orbach as Lumiere , Kimmy Robertson as Fifi The Featherduster , the great Frank Welker as Sultan The Footstool , the great Jim Cummings as Webster , Tubaloo , Chef Bouche and The Punch Bowl , Jeff Bennett as Crane and Frappe , the great Rob Paulsen as LePlume , Tres and The Egg Beater , the great April Winchell as Chandeleria , Chaude and Concertina and Jo Anne Worley as Armoire The Wardrobe.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With alot of the films main cast returning for this movie and so it does make sense that they would turn in some really good performances as they would know how best to portray their character in any given scene.

Doig the animation for this film is the little known animation studio that's known as Toon City Animation. 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 bad which really shouldn't be the case for an animated Beauty And the Beast sequel but is sadly a very common thing for alot of these direct to VHS and direct to DVD Disney animated sequels.

Like Aladdin Beauty And The Beast was meant to get an animated TV show but for some strange reason the show was cancelled mid production. With what I think are the only fully completed episodes being edited into this movie and well I can kind of see why they didn't push forward with a Beauty And the Beast animated TV show as just based of off the segments in this film the show would have been a midquel in other words it would have bee set during certain events of the movie and there's only so many stories that you can tell with that idea in mind before things start to get really repetitive and that happens very quickly in this film.

I do give this film credit for having original musical numbers with the songs for this film being written by an unknown song writer. However having original songs doesn't equal a good movie as this film is very episodic in nature which given it's origins is very understandable but when Disney made the call to turn this TV show into a film then they should have done something to make it feel more like a film instead of being hastily put together which just makes the whole thing look like nothing more then a cheap cash grand and nothing more then that.

 

Where this episode feels very repetitive is The Beast himself as this film has two segments where The Beast has to deal with his anger issues. You really needed only one segment to talk about his anger but yet because the original show most likely didn't have that many fully completed episodes to begin with we instead get two segments in the same film with The Beast learning not to be so angry all the time which is just boring to see as it's something that gets covered in the films first segment and so we don't really need to see it again in the films final segment as we've already seen it.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty eight minuets and four seconds. Which for this kind of film is a tad bit on the long side as there is no plot to this film at all and so all your left doing is watching these characters go about their day to day lives and there's only so long you can sit through that before it starts to get really dull and boring which with this film is very quickly however tho I will very much that this film really does have some really good pacing to it.

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 OK at best. A characters like Lumiere , Cogsworth and Chandeleria did get some decent jokes in but alot of the characters including both Belle and The Beast have some pretty lame and unfunny jokes in this film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this is a pretty bad film and is not worthy of the Beauty And The Beast name as this film is just bad in alot of ways possible and like I said at the start of the review it makes the 2017 live action Disney remake look good by comparison 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 as such that means that this very film earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 3 out of 10 from me.

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

Doctor Who: Time And The Rani Review

 

It's been a good few months since I last reviewed an episode of Doctor Who and even longer since I last reviewed an episode of classic Doctor Who. As such I thought that i'd put and end to that by reviewing what is perhaps the most infamous either regeneration or post regeneration episode and so then join me as I review the episode that saw a brand new Doctor debut and a classic villain make her final appearance in the TV show proper with the episode in question being called simply just "Time And The Rani" enjoy.

The plot of the episode is The Rani is the middle of her latest evil scheme and only one person can stop her and that's The Doctor if only he hadn't just finished regenerating. 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 pot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty pretty bad as the plot is really all over the place at best in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is The Hobbit star the great Sylvester McCoy as The Doctor and the great Bonnie Langford as Mel Bush. Also starring in this episode is the stunning Welcome to Japan, Mr. Bond star Kate O'Mara as The Rani , Mark Greenstreet as Ikona , Yes, Prime Minister star Donald Pickering as Beyus , Wanda Ventham as Faroon , Karen Clegg as Sarn , Richard Gauntlett as Urak and John Segal as Lanisha.

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 turning in some really good performances with special shout out going to Kate O'Mara who not only has play The Rani but also has to play The Rani being disguised as Mel as well.

For those of you that don't know this is this is the first time that CGI was used in the show with it being used mostly in the shows new intro sequence. I will admit that I didn't like the CGI just because it's very early CGI and so it does look dated and when you add in the fact that this is the era of the show where they had next to no money to actually make the show happen it means that the CGI is also very cheap looking as well granted none of this of the fault of the makers of the show but it is something that's very noticeable.

This episode is of course infamous for it's opening regeneration scene which even tho it does feature the sixth doctor it doesn't feature Colin Baker reprising his role as the sixth doctor. This is because when the show was brought back one of the mandates was that the lead actor in this case Colin Baker be replaced with the BBC offering the regeneration scene to Colin which Colin did accept on the condition that he be able to do a full series in order to fully satisfy his fans with the regeneration scene being in the final episode of the series this was something that the BBC declined to do and so what we ended up with was Sylvester McCoy being dressed in the sixth doctors wardrobe and blond wig which just makes the scene laughable and the regeneration itself confusing as it's not made clear what's caused this new regeneration in the first place which is something that really should have been shown to us the audience.

To me this whole episode just screams horribly put together as we there are things that we dont get to see or even find out. Chief among which is the fact that it's not really made clear what The Rani's scheme is in this episode and so it just comes across as her just doing evil stuff just for the sake of it with no end goal mind and the other thing that we don't really get to see is The Rani being defeated with that happening basically off screen at the best of times and being super confusing as at the worst of times and both of these hings are things that should have been addressed at the script writing stage and really shouldn't have been in the final cut of the story at all.

I'm just going to be real here I found Mel to be the most annoying character in this episode just because half of her screen time is spent screaming at the top of her lungs. Which is fine for the ending cliffhanger of episode one as there it makes sense for her to be screaming like that but when alot of her screen time is spent with her just screaming and not really adding to the overall plot of the episode it just makes her come across as being a rather annoying character that we sadly forced to spend alot of time with in this episode.

Now then while 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 one hour and forty minuets. With this story being four episodes long which was a huge issue for me just because you very easily could have gotten this story up to six episodes long just by expanding on the story and actually telling us what The Rani's scheme is and actually showing us The Rani being defeated and I will admit that this episode does indeed have some really good pacing to it with no episode really lasting longer then what they really need to.

So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. With this episodes action just being as cheap and as corny as you'd expect from this show but at the same time that's also the charm of this episodes action as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall I have no idea what to make of this episode because it's not a good goodbye to The Sixth Doctor but at the same time it's a serviceable introductory episode to The Seventh Doctor and if you really wanted to sell that The Rani really is disguised as Mel then they should have had Bonnie Langford dub over The Rani's lines as that really would have sold that aspect of the episode really well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that 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 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 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.

Taz: Quest For Burger Film Review

 

For some reason Warner Bros are choosing now to produce more Looney Tunes with a slew of new TV shows and new movies all due to come out soon. Well one of those new movies has just been released to shockingly very little fan fare so much so that I wouldn't blame you if you didn't know that this movie was even a thing and so then join me as I review the film that I wouldn't blame you if you didn't know about it with the film in question being called simply just "Taz: Quest For Burger" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when her father and food is stolen a young bandicoot teams up with Taz to get get them back before it's far to late. Now then inters of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad with this films plot being dumb but enjoyably dumb in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Steve Blum as Tasmanian Devil , Hadley Gannaway as Quinn and Looney Tunes regular Eric Bauza as Sid and A Bandicoot Friend. Also starring in this film is Ian James Corlett as Dad and Bill , Ely Henry as Aristotle , Piotr Michael as Lou and Stan , Kevin Michael Richardson as Butch and A Emo , Jon Luke Thomas as Ned and Sam , James Urbaniak as Rocky and Kari Wahlgren as Melanie and A Koala.

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. As this films cast is made up of really good voice actors and actresses but there not helped by the fact that this films script gives them absolutely nothing to work with interms of what their respective characters personalities even are.

Doing the animation for this film is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Titmouse Inc. and Inspidea. 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 bad with this films animation at best being very ugly to look at which is a shame because the Looney Tunes deserve better then this.

I'm not going to lie this is bad film and what makes this even worse is the fact that Warner Bros cancelled The Day The Earth Blew Up which was star Porky Pig and Daffy Duck and yet they chose to release this film. This is a film that should have been cancelled as it's just not that good of a film and is a prime example of the fact that Warner Bros right now might say that they care about the Looney Tunes brand but it's clear as day that they don't care about it which is a shame because these characters are to them what Mickey , Donald , Goofy , Minnie and Daisy are to Disney.

You can tell that Warner Bros just doesn't care about the Looney Tunes because of the fact that they hired Bryan Condon the guy who wrote episodes of Aquaman: King Of Atlantis , Thundercats Roar and Yabba-Dabba Dinosaurs! to write this movie. I'm not saying that he's a bad writer but when alot of the shows that you've worked on are bad shows that's not a good sign and the fact that Warner Bros hired him to write this movie just goes to show you that they don't care about the Looney Tunes brand at all.

If it seems like i'm being hard on this movie it's because it had so much potential to be good and yet they somehow found away to make it a bad movie. Like for example having Taz go on a mission to help to save this girls father and food should make for a good film but then they go and make them both loners and give both of those characters the exact same character arc and top of that they change Taz's character as Taz would never say no to eating food and yet in this film that's exactly what he does at several points in the film.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and fourteen minuets and fifty eight seconds. Which to this films credit is a good running time to have as this film really doesn't have alot their interms of either plot or story to cover anything longer then that and heck this film would even struggle to make it up to one hour and thirty minuets as the films story is that thinly drawn out but again to this films credit this film does have some really good pacing to it with the film really just flying right on by.

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 this film barely managing to get a smile out of me and while the films target kid audience might find this film to be really funny older fan will find nothing funny in this film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this film is a really bad film and it's one that should be forgotten about and will be forgotten about regardless of the films really very dreadful lack of marketing as it is just that bad of a film 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 means that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 3 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 girl 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 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 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 and there's only one way to end this review and that's by saying T-T-T-T-THAT'S ALL FOLKS!.
