The Smurfs 1981 TV Series "The Astrosmurf" Review

The Smurfs really don't need introducing as there really just that well known of a group characters however what alot of people might not know is that there comic book characters. With the characters first appearing in books since 1958 with the story called "The Flute with Six Holes" from the comic book Johan And Peewit with the characters becoming more and more popular thanks to there nineteen eighty one TV series of the exact same name and it's an episode from that show that i'm going to e talking about today ad so then join me as I review what is technically the first episode of the show with the episode in question being called simply just "The Astrosmurf" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when Dreamy Smurf announces his plans to fly of a another planet all of The Smurfs try to help him achieve his goal. 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 as it was a rather simple plot which is something that is oddly fitting for The Smurfs as characters as they don't really demand a deep  dark and completed plot just give them something simple and let the character show through in the episodes plot something which wouldn't be able to happen if the plot of the episode was a deep , dark and completed plot ad because it's not any of those things the plot of this episode is also charming as well as being really rather entertaining and as well as being also really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Starring in this episode is Danny Goldman as Brainy Smurf . William Callaway as Clumsy Smurf and  Lucille Bliss as Smurfette. Also starring in this episode is Hamilton Camp as Greedy Smurf , the great June Foray as Jokey Smurf , the great Paul Winchell as Gargamel , Michael Bell as Handy Smurf , Lazy Smurf and Grouchy Smurf , Ronnie Schell as Dreamy Smurf and the great Don Messick as Azrael and Papa Smurf.

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. With alot of this episodes actors turning in some really solid performances which given that this shows voice cast is made up of a bunch of really good voice actors that really isn't all that surprising as alot of them really do know how to turn in a good performance which is something that all do in this very episode even if it is hard to tell which smurf is which alot of the time with the acting in this episode really being helped by the fact that the script for this episode is just so good that all the episodes cast have to do is just the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally.

Doing the animation for this episode is Dong Seo Animation , Luk Film , Sam Young Animation and Take One. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation thats 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 as it was the kind of quality animation that you'd expect to find in an early nineteen eighties animated show but at the same time the animation in this episode is alot better then the animation that you'd expect to see in alot of other Hanna-Barbera properties with that being because there not actually doing the animation for this series there just producing the show but it is still something thats worth mentioning as we see in other things that they've done they can do quality animation when they have the budget to really do so.

This episode is technically the first episode of the show as while it was indeed the first episode to air it wasn't the first episode to be produced with that honor going to The Smurfette. Which does make it hard to tell what the first episode of the show is actually meant to be as Smurfette not only appears in this episode but also plays a pretty big role in the episodes plot where as The Smurfette episode of the show is her introductory episode while it is hard to tell why the choice was made to make this one the first episode as it could be anything down from this episode being the first one finished out of the two episodes to this one having the much more stronger storyline it does seem odd that they have a character that technically hasn't been introduced yet and have her introductory episode appear much more later on in the first seasons run and while this doesn't really effect anything it does seem weird that this is something that would be done when it makes more sense for the The Smurfette episode to still be the leading episode in this shows first ever season.

The episode does go to great lengths to show you just how kind The Smurfs themselves are as characters. As they go out of their way to making Dreamy's dream come true which is something that they really didn't have to do and yet by doing that it shows that there all really good friends with each other but on the flip side of that is the fact that by having all of The Smurfs act pretty much the same it makes it hard to tell which smurf is which as all of the good speak the same with this being something that could have been fixed by having some of The Smurfs actively not take part in the plan to make Dreamy's dram come true but that would again have the knock of effect of making them not appear to be very good people and as a result of that all of them are pretty much forced into it just to make them all appear as a good people which is what The Smurfs are at there core as there the kind of people that we all wish to be instead of being the people that we actually are.

Despite being the franchises main villain Gargamel himself really doesn't have a whole lot to do in the episode. With the character really only appearing in a very small handful of scenes none of which are connected to the main plot of the film are there just to give The Smurfs an antagonist all of which feels like a really cheap way to use him as the start of the episode feels like that it's setting him up to be a main threat in the episode and then he does nothing but following The Smurfs around and that's really it which really isn't all that threatening of a thing for him to be doing as he acts more threatening to The Smurfs in not only later episodes but also in alot of the movies as well all while still being his lovable comedic self whereas in this episode he doesn't come across as being a credible threat to The Smurfs as he messes up alot of the time which wouldn't be an issue if this episode was a few episodes into the series run but it's not it's the first episode and as a result of that is the fact that the makers really had to make him seem like a more credible threat to The Smurfs very existence.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets and forty seven seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstandard for cartoons that were airing in the eighties and while this episode really doesn't have alot there interms of plot to really cover that large amount of running time the episode really doesn't feel like that it was being padded out alot of the time as while yes the scenes with Gargamel could be seen as padding given that this was the shows first episode they also had to introduce him somehow and at least in this episode it does leave room for quite alot of improvement given how his character should have been handled and while yes it would have been great if the episode had a much more stronger plot line that fit this episodes running time by doing that they would take away that cozy feeling that just oozes out of this show but I will admit that this show really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is 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 not that bad. As the show does make use of slapstick comedy alot of which is partially funny but at the same time tho alot of the slapstick really isn't that funny as none of it looks painful as it just looks really tame which does make sense given that this show is aimed at little kids but at the same time tho it still needs to be really all that funny and yet the slapstick that's in this episode really isn't being animated to be all that funny for the most part as when we do get a really funny slapstick moment it really is a funny moment out of it in this episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this episode was a really solid debut episode to start of this show as it gives you a good example of what alot of the characters are like and what the status quo for the show will be like moving forward but at the same time tho it would have been nice if this episode had a really much more stronger plot line tho 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 a such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn 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, The Smurfs fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very review being the great the official Arrowverse fandom wiki page simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode and are really of course on the official Arrowverse fandom wiki page are really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Batwoman TV Series "Pilot" Review

For some strange reason in the late 2010's and early 2020's Warner Bros thought that it was a good idea to produce live action shows that are in the world of Batman but not feature Batman in them at all. With the first one to come out being the show that i;m going to be talking about today as this show does also have the honor of being the only non Batman Batman show to also be set within the world of the Arrowverse and so then join me as I review the episode gives us a lame reason for not having Batman in it with the episode in question being called simply just "Pilot" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when her ex-girlfriend goes missing Kate Kane returns to Gotham City to try ad find her and to try and find her missing long lost sister. 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 al 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 that's also the issue as the plot for this episode wasn't all that good ether with the plot of the episode being what can only be described as thin at best as while the plot does indeed get going right away it's also not a strong enough plot for the first episode of a new TV show as the plot of the episode just comes and goes whenever it wants and the characters spending alot of time not even advancing the plot of the episode with the plot of the episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Ruby Rose as Kate Kane / Batwoman , Rachel Skarsten as Alice and Meagan Tandy as Sophie Moore. Also starring in this episode is Nicole Kang as Mary Hamilton , Camrus Johnson as Luke Fox , Elizabeth Anweis as Catherine Hamilton-Kane , Dougray Scott as Jacob Kane , Greyston Holt as Tyler , Brendon Zub as Dodgson , Rachel Maddow as The Voice Of Vesper Fairchild , Chris Shields as Mayor Akins and Sandy Robson as Captain.

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 thats actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. However the acting in this episode was all that good either which is kind of the thing for a show on The CW it is something that is still worth pointing out as bad acting will always be bad acting and alot of that does come down to the episodes director who quote clearly doesn't know how to get a good performance this is despite the actors in this episode turning in some good performances in other projects with the acting in this episode not really being helped by the fact that this episodes script just isn't all that good as it gives none of the episodes cast nothing to work with interms of what it is that there characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does effect the overall quality of the acting that's in this episode.

Doing the CGI for this episode is Encore VFX and the legends and the greats that are currently over at Splice. Now the interms of what I personally thought / felt abut the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty laughably bad. Even for a show on The CW this shows CGI in this episode really was really bad with them using an obviously CGI grappling hook for one scene when they could have done it practically and the shows projection was bad even for the small budget that all of the The CW shows have this episode had some laughably bad CGI in it and granted when you think of Batman you don't usually think of CGI which does make it all the odd that they decided to us CGI in this episode let alone CGI that looks really bad.

For some strange reason both this episode and Gotham Knights seem to think that what we want in a live action Batman TV show is for Batman to not only not appear in the show at the all but in the case of this episode have him act out of character when he does appear in the episode. As Batman would never ever leave Gotham let alone leave it undefended he would ask someone like Nightwing or Batgirl for example to defend Gotham while he's gone but nope in this episode he just disappears for no reason and while Gotham Knights does give a more understandable reason for the character not appearing in the show it still doesn't excuse the fact there trying to do a Batman TV show without Batman and in the case of this episode they have him act out of character as well as Batman would never work in the day he would only operate in the night so then that way people can't work out that he's Bruce Wayne and yet here in his appearance in this episode they have him trying to save Young Kate , Young Alice and there mother in broad daylight.

To this episodes credit it does try to do someone thing new with the episodes main villain by having be reveled to be the long lost sister of our main heroine. The issue is tho is that the show makes this reveal in the first episode when it would have been better of as something that was reveled in the first season finale of the show as by then we the audience would have had more of a chance to form a connection with these characters and want to see the hero succeed in bringing the villain down and it would therefor thus make it all the more shocking when it's reveled that the villain is also the same person that the hero has been trying to find for decades at this point in time and yet by doing it in the first episode we the audience are now ahead of what the characters know when we should be on a level playing field with them finding out these pieces of information at the same time as the characters are and not finding all of this stuff out before the characters are this just goes to show you that writer Caroline Dries has no idea how to write for these characters.

The episode and series villain Alice was a really interesting villain altho her constantly quoting Alice's Adventures In Wonderland did get very grating. As while it's fun at first and it makes her more of a quirky villain it's also something that gets old really fast and while she is rightfully insane and his an interesting backstory she doesn't have a plan in this episode which could be argued is the point as the character is meant to be a the very least partially insane think of her as like the female version of The Joker but at the same time tho even The Joker does have plans at times that match up with his goals and here since she's such a strong villain that could very easily push our main hero to her limits it makes all of the episodes other villains seem weak when infact it should be the other way with her instead being the final villain of this shows first season with her appearing only in select episodes in order to build up just how much of a threat that she really is instead of just having her appear in the shows first ever episode.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty two minuets and twenty three seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstanderd running time for these Arrowverse shows to have and to this episodes credit it really does make the most of this running time as given that this show does indeed take place in the Arrowverse it really doesn't need to spend alot of time setting up the world of the show but alot more time should have been spent on developing the shows main characters instead of just having them appear as being very note characters and the episode really should have spent alot more time in developing it's plot alot more as the episode really does have more then enough plot there to really cover that amount of running time and yet due to the fact that the episodes plot really does keep on coming and going it feels like it's a really underdeveloped plot as the shows plot does feel like it was really underdeveloped but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now the as 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 al 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. As we do get to see Kate in some really cool action scenes all of which give us the chance to see just how good of a fighter that she is and it gives us a chance to see all of the fighting that she's learned while she was a away from Gotham but at the same time tho alot of this episodes action just felt exactly the same with there being nothing new added to them to make them standout and feel unique and different which granted there's only so much that you can do when it's just two people punching each other but there still needs to be something new added in to make them feel unique , new and different in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this shows pilot episode was so much worse then the pilot for Supergirl as at the very least the pilot episode for Supergirl was a fun episode that respected not only Superman but also Supergirl as well where it's the opposite that's true for this episode as this episode wasn't all that fun to watch and it doesn't respect Batman nor does it respect the character of Batwoman as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked abut all of the good and as well as all of the bad thing that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 4.5 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 Batman , the official Arrowverse fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very review being the great the official Arrowverse fandom wiki page simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode and are really of course on the official Arrowverse fandom wiki page are really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

My SPOILER FREE First Impressions Of The Fallout TV Series

For a long time doing a live action adaptation of a popular video game was seen as a bad thing as that adaptation was nine times out of ten really bad. Well things have really very slowly been improving on that front over the last couple years as more and more live action video game adaptations have not only been hits at the box office but have also been shockingly really good with more and more of them being made it was only a matter of time when attention turned to some games by Bethesda and well now finally one of there games has finally been given the live action adaptation treatment in the form of a TV series and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FREE first impressions of the show that really is alot better then what it really had right to be with the show in question being called simply just "Fallout" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Lucy has her life turned upside when outside forces force to leave to her vault and go into the world two hundred plus years after it was bombed by a nuclear explosion. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual 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 as it does a solid job of giving us what the main plot of the show will be but at the same time there was nothing really special about this plot that made it standout from the plot of say a show airing on The CW for example as alot of just relies on tropes that you've seen done before in The CW shows only there it was done to save money and here it was just done for the sake of doing them with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Ella Purnell as Lucy MacLean , Aaron Moten as Maximus and Kyle MacLachlan as Hank MacLean. Also starring in this episode is Moisés Arias as Norm MacLean , Xelia Mendes-Jones as Dane , Walton Goggins as Cooper Howard , Sarita Choudhury as Lee Moldaver , Leslie Uggams as Betty Pearson , Michael Cristofer as Elder Cleric Quintus , Johnny Pemberton as Thaddeus , Mykelti Williamson as Honcho , Matt Berry as Mr. Handy , Zach Cherry as Woody Thomas , Annabel O'Hagan as Stephanie Harper , Dave Register as Chet , Rodrigo Luzzi as Reg McPhee and Cameron Cowperthwaite as Monty.

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 given that this episodes director is Jonathon Nolan who like his brother Christopher Nolan really does know how to direct his actors and get a good performance out of them with the acting in this episode also being helped by the fact that all of this episodes cast are a bunch of really good actors who really do know how to act as they've turned in great performances in other projects with the acting in this episode really being helped by the fact that the script for this episode is just so good that all this episodes cast have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally.

Doing the CGI for not only this episode but also the entire is Juice and the legends and the greats that are currently over at Legacy Effects. Now then interms of what i personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured  presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good as alot of the CGI was very hard to find as apart from the obviously CGI space ships alot of the effects in this episode was used mainly to extend what was already there on set and to add in things like helicopters into the background and as a result it comes across as the makers of this show really knowing how to us CGI as there using it in a way that doesn't distract you from what was already there going on in the episode instead it's used to bring to life things that they really couldn't do practically which is how CGI should always be used.

This show is of course adapted from the game of the exact same name which debuted on October 10th 1997. While it is hard to say if this episode is faithful to lore of the games so far just based of off this first episode that does seem to be the case in which case alot of the games die hard fans will be very happy to see there favorite weapons brought to life while this could indeed be a good thing heck take a look at The Super Mario Bros Movie as a good example of that but at the same time tho this could also be a bad thing as there are going to be a lot of people who didn't play the games and on't know the lore of the games which could quite possibly alienate alot of people who might have been interested in watching the show but would now be put off as the episode explains pretty much nothing that would have been explained in the game and while the games die hard fans won't mind this as they'd already know the game's lore inside and out it's the more mainstream audience who will suffer and because of that this show won't be able to attract alot more viewers despite the great reviews that it's been getting as the mainstream audience would have to do alot of homework in order to fully understand this one episode.

Fallout really doesn't make a good idea for a TV show as there really isn't all that much that you could do with it in that format. Whereas due to the popularity of medevil fantasy and medevil fantasy TV shows it would make more sense to adapt Skyrim into a live action TV series as due to the amount of games that are in that franchise both in spin off form and in the main line series there's alot of things that you could do with a live action Skyrim TV series with Fallout instead working better as maybe a live action movie as when you boil it down the plot of a Fallout game is perfect for a live action movie as they have a quite clear beginning , middle and end with no way to continue you for a potential second season where as you can very easily do a second season of Skyrim live action TV series as the games continue on after the main plots have finished and heck you could even turn it into an anthology series with each season having a different cast and a telling a different story something which you couldn't do with Fallout.

For some reason this episode flip flops between telling two different stories with the more interesting one being Lucy's story. With the less interesting story being the story with Maximus and Dane which makes you wonder why the makers of this show chose to do that as they had more then enough running time to do this in a less jarring way instead of smash cutting halfway through Lucy's story to start to tell this new story with characters that just aren't that interesting and as a result all it does is make you want to fast forward through the Maximus and Dane scenes just to get back to the Lucy scenes as those are the scenes that are not only more important to the episode but are also more interesting and when your doing what is basically a pilot episode you want to lead with your more interesting and stronger story and that is Lucy's story with the Maximus story being weak and just not that interesting and heck they even could have bumped the Maximus scenes to episode two and have episode one just focus on Lucy as it's her story that forms the basic plot of the show as a whole.

Now the this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and fourteen minuets and fifty seven seconds. Which is such a long time for this episode to have as while the episode really does have more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that large amount of running time it's also an episode that really didn't need to be near the length of a feature length film as you very easily could have told this episodes key storyline in forty five minuets to one hour long just by cutting out all of the pointless stuff with Maximus and Dane as there scenes felt like filler scenes as they really added noting to the overall plot of the episode and were just for the same of being there which made them feel alot more like padding when this episode really didn't need to be padded out as the episode really is plenty long as it is but I will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured  presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. As the shows action was really exciting and was shockingly gruesome which was something that came as a genuine surprise as you don't expect gory moments to happen in action scenes and that's exactly what we get in the episodes best action scene which is also filled to the brim with a bunch of really cool moments all of which make this episodes action stand out when compared to all of the over action shows that are currently on Amazon Prime which just have some really bland and boring action scenes that look pretty but have no cool moments in them whatsoever in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while it's hard to say if this is a good video game adaptation it's certainly not a bad one either as it's something that's sure to please the die hard fans but it's the mainstream audience that are going to gave a hard time fully understanding all of the things that are going on in this episode 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 episode in this very post and since this is only my first impressions I won't be giving this show a rating however if this post does decently well and if you guys want me to check out episode then I will do it and that post would then be a review of that episode and that episode only and not a review of the show as a whole.

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 post from the official Fallout fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to really use to get the images from this very episode that I really used in this very post being the really great the official Fallout fandom wiki page simply just really due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode and are really of course up and really on the really great official Fallout fandom wiki page are really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Supergirl TV Series "Pilot" Review

When people talk about the Arrowverse they mainly talk about both either Arrow or The Flash and rightfully so as those were some really good shows. However very little if anybody talk about the show that i'm going to be talking about today as it is a show that should be talked as it made a mostly unknown character become alot more well known interms of the mainstream audience and so then join me as I review the episode that introduces a new hero to the world of the Arrowverse with the episode in question being called simply just "Pilot" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when she saves the life of her sister Kara Danvers has to choose between living the life that she's been told to live or become the hero that she was always meant to be and save her city from an escaped alien convict in the process. 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 as it was the stereotypical pilot plot for a superhero show but at the same time this episodes plot doesn't really do a good enough job of setting up the world that this show takes place in and while yes that does indeed make some sense as this is only the first episode you also have to lay the groundwork for the world building as well and while the plot of this episode does indeed set up the plotline for this season really well it is still a fairly weak storyline with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Melissa Benoist as Kara Danvers / Kara Zor-El / Supergirl and Mehcad Brooks as James Olsen. Also starring in this episode is Chyler Leigh as Dr. Alex Danvers , Jeremy Jordan as Winn Schott , David Harewood as Director Hank Henshaw , Calista Flockhart as Cat Grant Owain Yeoman as Vartox , Faran Tahir as The Commander , Ben Begley as Tobey , Robert Gant as Zor-El , Derek Mio as Hayashi , Dean Cain as Dr. Jeremiah Danvers , Laura Benanti as Alura Zor-El and General Astra , Malina Weissman as Young Kara Zor-El , Jordan Mazarati as Young Alex Danvers and Helen Slater as Dr. Eliza Danvers.

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 n all honesty not that bad. As the acting that we got in this episode was alot better then what it really had any right to be given that acting in any pilot episode is very rarely if ever that good when compared to the rest of the series as the series cast are still trying to find there characters the very fact that we got acting is as a good as it is in this episode can only be a good sign with this being helped by the fact that this episodes cast a genuinely good bunch of actors with the actin this episode really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all this episodes cast have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally.

Doing the CGI for this episode is Encore VFX and the legends and the greats that are currently over at CounterPunch Studios. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad as these Arrowverse shows aren't really known for having fantastic CGI in the with this episode being no exception but at the same time given the small budget that this episode would have had this episode has alot more better CGI then it really should have had as by all accounts this episode should have had some really bad looking CGI in it and yet the effects in this episode look so much better then the CGI in say The Flash TV series for example and while the episode does have alot of painfully bad CGI effects in it the episode also has some really good looking CGI effects in it as well.

To this episodes credit it is alot better then the Supergirl as it does treat Supergirl herself alot better then what she was treated in the movie. As in the movie she was very boy crazy and was a bit of a clutz even setting the films plot into motion by putting her entire civilization into danger where as here she's treated with alot more respect as she's someone who is very caring and is someone one who does care for her family as evidenced by the fact that she openly exposes herself by trying to save her adoptive sisters life something which could put not only her life but also the life of her friends and family in danger as well and when she gets the call to be a hero she says yes right away as it's the right thing to do and not because t's quite literally in her DNA to help people and it's that kind of attention to detail that proves that the makers of this show have alot more respect and love for the character then what the makers of the movie did as the makers of the movie her fighting an invisible enemy which even for the Superman movies was just such a dumb idea.

While this episode does indeed make several references to Superman which does make sense. At the same time tho it's not really something works all that well for not only this episode but the episode as a whole as it doesn't really give Kara the chance to stand out as a character as we the audience are being reminded of this other character that we are all the more familiar with and while yes having him in this episode does make sense as both her back story and Superman's backstory are tied together he really wasn't needed to seen nor referenced after she got dropped of at the Danvers house hold.

This episodes main villain Vartox really isn't that interesting of a villain. As while he is just a first episode villain and therefor he shouldn't really push are main hero to her limits as that really wouldn't make sense as we the audience aren't really attached to her yet as a character he still needs to be an interesting villain and while to his credit he does have a good plan of trying to get revenge on presumably his villain friends by blowing up a plane that contains government agents it's that very plan that causes Kara to reveal herself to the public as well.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty five minutes and fifty nine seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstanderd running time for alot of these Arrowverse shows and to this episodes credit it does make the most of that running time but at the same time tho the episode could have been alot longer as at this point in time the show really wasn't set in the main Arrowverse and as a result of that is that it doesn't have that knowledge of how that world works to fall back on but I will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing it tho.

So now then as this 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 episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episodes was in all honesty really good. Which is something that's not all that new as the Arrowverse shows had some really good action in it as well with this episode having some really good action in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while this episodes wasn't as good as I remember it being it's still quite clear that alot of love and passion for the character into making this episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 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 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 Arrowverse fandom wiki page and IMP Awards. Com. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodes that I used in this very review being the great the official Arrowverse fandom wiki page simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from these very episodes and are really of course on the official Arrowverse fandom wiki page are really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Doctor Who: The Power Of The Doctor Review

Doctor Who is now well and truly in the Disney era of the show with there being more eyes on the show then ever before. However there was a time just a few short years ago where really nobody even at the BBC was talking about Jodie Whittakers final episode of the show in the lead up to it's release and well almost exactly two years later I thought that now really was the right time to look back at an episode that really didn't get alot of promotion from the BBC in any way whatsoever and so then join me as I review the episode that technically sees The Doctor use up three regenerations in the same episode with the episode in question in question being called simply just "The Power Of The Doctor" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is with the Cybermen attacking London in 2022 , the Daleks doing something in a volcano in 20222 and The Master somehow being involved it's up to The Doctor to work out what's going on and stop it before it's far to later even if it's costs her her very own life. 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 the  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 that's also the problem as the plot of this episode wasn't all that good either as the plot wasn't really something that's fitting for a special episode as there's nothing about this episodes plot that screams special episode whereas if you compare that to The Day Of The Doctor that plot could really only really be told in a special episode where as the plot of this episode could have been told in a regular two part episode of the show with this episodes plot also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Jodie Whittaker as The Doctor , Mandip Gill as Yasmin Khan and John Bishop as Dan Lewis. Also starring in this episode is Sophie Aldred as Ace , Janet Fielding as Tegan Jovanka , Jemma Redgrave as Kate Stewart , Game Of Thrones star Jacob Anderson as Vinder , Bradley Walsh as Graham O'Brien , Patrick O'Kane as Ashad , Game Of Thrones star David Bradley as The Doctor , Colin Baker as The Doctor , Peter Davison as The Doctor , Paul McGann as The Doctor , The Hobbit star Sylvester McCoy as The Doctor , Jo Martin as The Doctor , Sacha Dhawan as The Master , Anna Andresen as Alexandra , Richard Dempsey as Nicholas , Jos Slovick as The Messenger , the great Nicholas Briggs as The Voices Of The Daleks And The Cybermen , Bonnie Langford as Melanie Bush , Katy Manning as Jo Jones , the great William Russell as Ian Chesterton and David Tennant as The Doctor.

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 Ii 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. As all of the classic returning actors slip back into their roles like they've only just finished playing them and the series regular cast have really nailed there characters perfectly with this being more evident in the cases of Jodie Whittaker and Mandip Gil both of whom have been playing there characters since 2017 however with all of that being said tho there are some bad performances in this episode tho as alot of this episodes cast members just don't turn in that good performance and while the returning cast members do turn in some good performances in this episode it's not as good as it really could have been with the acting in this episode not really being helped by the episodes script which is just so bad as it gives none of the episodes cast really nothing to work with interms of what it is that there respective characters personalities are even meant to be n the first place which is something that does bring down the overall quality of the acting in this episode.

Doing the CGI for this episode is DNEG ad the legends and the greats that are currently over at Real SFX. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad as this episode does have some really decent looking CGI in it for the most part as there are also some really bad looking CGI effects to be found in this episode as well with the worst offender being the obvious CGI ladder that they really didn't need to do as it could have bee done practically and alot of the painfully bad projection scenes which just make this show look really cheap as they really very easily could have put in alot more money to create some better looking projection shots and better looking CGI effects shots and for some strange reason the makers of this show just chose not to do that at all.

As of right now this is the last episode to feature a more traditional regeneration as the very next regeneration episode what we got was the introduction of Bi-Generation. With the regeneration in this episode being very underwhelming as there was nothing that really made it stand out and given that regeneration is meant to be very traumatic for The Doctor the fact that this version of the character just brushes it off by saying "tag your it" just goes to show that Chris Chibnall really doesn't understand Doctor Who as that is something that The Doctor would never say in that situation as a good regeneration scene should have a moment where the actor says goodbye to the character and where the character has to face up to the facts that there dying and while The Doctor will continue on it won't be them and that is something that is very sorely missing in this episodes regeneration and as a result of this is despite all of the pretty visuals and the shocking twist reveal it is something that lacks the emotional gut punch that all good regeneration should have.

While The Day Of The Doctor was more of a love letter to everything that was then New Doctor Who this episode felt more like a love letter to Classic Doctor. With alot of the classic companions getting alot of screen time which in some ways does indeed work but it doesn't work in others as lets be real alot of the people that are watching this episode wouldn't really know who these characters and while yes it is great that we get to see some classic companions come back and play a big role in the plot it shouldn't come at the expense of the current cast which it does feel like here as the episode has to find away that does somewhat make sense to get rid of Dan and they have to make sure that Yaz really doesn't get any more personalty as she has to fight for screen time with more interesting characters that are already fully developed and as a result of that is the fact that alot of the moments with Yaz that should work don't work as she been given no personalty all throughout her time on the show and this was the final chance to fix that problem and they just didn't as all they did was her fight screen time and have her be a big simp for The Doctor.

As a villain The Master is really well used in this episode and while his plan to take over The Doctor's body is something that the classic version of the character would do. It's not something that works well with the more modern take on the character as this new version of the character already has a regeneration cycle and so would have no need to steal The Doctor's body and while the episode does give him a good reason for wanting it in this episode as he wants to use her name to ruin all of the good that she's done which is something that does work well enough for this episode it's also something that's not really an evil enough scheme for The Master as this version of the character has destroyed The Doctor mentally as seen in The Timeless Children and has already proven more then capable of archiving his scheme in this episode as we've already seen him use his smarts in just the previous series he for some reason goes with a less evil scheme and while the characters is wonderfully portrayed by Sacha Dhawan he still needs a good evil plan to help to make more interesting of a character and that's something that is very sorely lacking in this episode.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty seven minuets and thirty eight seconds. Which is a solid running time for this episode t have as the episode really does have more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that large amount of running but the issue is tho is that even the episode does have this expanded running time the episode really doesn't take the time to develop any of it's characters nor does it take the time to let it sink it that this is the last time that both The Doctor and Yaz will ever be seeing each other as the episode just rushes past it and as a result of it when Yaz really does leave the TARDIS for the last time it doesn't have the same impact that something like that really should have had as the episode is instead alot more focused on cramming in alot of references to Classic Doctor Who when it really should have been more focused on tieing up this era of the show in a way that feels really satisfactory but I will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk the actual action that's actually featured / resented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Which is really nothing new as the action in the modern era of the show has always been really good and this is more evident by the fact that this episode had a big budget behind and because of that it meant that they could do camera move that they wouldn't have been able to do in the show and this is something that not only looks visually impressive but it's also something that makes the action in this episode feel like that it belongs in a movie as it really just all that exciting to see and is something that really is fitting to be a special episode of the show like this one n my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while this episode is a really solid way to end what could be seen as the shows worst era in it's modern run but at the same time it's also one of if not the worst regeneration episode in all of the shows history as it lacks anything that makes a regeneration episode good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page , Amazon . Co . Uk and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very review being the really great and really legendary Google Images simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this episode and are really of course on Google Images are all really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Mutant Turtles: Choujin Densetsu-Hen AKA Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Legend Of The Supermutants TV Series Review

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are a brand that while they were super popular back in the eighties and nineties thanks to various movies and TV shows. Are still popular to this very day with the rarest thing about the turtles brand being all of the odd little things that they've been associated with from live action PSA's to telling people about an LA travel system to even going on a music tour the turtles just seem to attached to things that are just really weird well there is one more thing that they were apart of and it's the very thing that i'm about to the review for you all today and so then join me as I review the OVA series that is to date the only piece of anime turtles media with the really two episode anime in question being called simply just "Mutant Turtles: Choujin Densetsu-Hen" AKA "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Legend Of The Supermutants" enjoy.

The plot so this OVA is the turtles have to defeat The Shredder before he and Krang unleash an evil devil to troy the world and the turtles have to stop The Shredder from finding a magical stone that will help him and Krang take over the world. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plots that are actually featured  presented to us in this very OVA well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plots that are actually featured / presented to us in this very OVA was in all honesty not that bad but that's also the issue the plots weren't all that good as not only were they very kid like but at the same time they also weren't the plots that people were demanding from the turtles at this time either as the first live action movie had been out for a while and had been a massive and as a result people wanted alot more darker stories told with these characters and yet for some reason we still got very light hearted stories not only from this show but from the American shows as well with the plots of this OVA not being really rather entertaining nor were they all really rather engaging either in y freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this TV series are Daiki Nakamura as Leonardo , Kappei Yamaguchi as Michelangelo and Hidenari Ugaki as Donatello. Also starring in this TV series are Hiroyuki Shibamoto as Raphael , Hideyuki Umezu as Splinter and Krang , Emi Shinohara as April O'Neil , Kiyoyuki Yanada as Oroku Saki / The Shredder , Kyousei Tsukui as Bebop , Hidetoshi Nakamura as Rocksteady , Rei Sakuma as Crys-Mu and Dark Mu , Tomohiro Nishimura as Hattori Kinzô and Kōichi Nagano as A News Technician.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very TV series 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 TV series was in all honesty not that bad. Which really isn't all that surprising as alot of this series cast are actually reprising their roles from the Japanese dub of the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series and as a result of that id the fact that they would know how best to perform there character and what kind of performance would best suit there respective character in any given situation with the only let down from an acting standpoint is the fact that Krang's voice just doesn't suit his character in the slightest way possible with the acting in this TV series not really being helped by the fact that the script for both of these episodes are just so bad as it gives the actors absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there respective characters personalities are even meant to be.

Doing the animation for this series is Bee Media and the legends and the greats that are currently over at Tsuburaya Productions. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very TV series 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 TV series was in all honesty but at the same time tho this TV series animation wasn't all that good either as it looked really cheap looking  with the animation in this very series looking like it would have been better if this series was released in the eighties but it wasn't it was released in the nineties when animation on TV shows in both Japan and America was getting to be alot better then most animation that we got in movies at the time and as a result of this is the fact that it's now all the more shocking that this series animation is as cheap looking as it is as it's something that really should have been fixed during production of the show and not being left as it is as that only make the show look really very cheap looking to both produce and to make.

To put it frankly this two episode show is just plain weird with the turtles now able to access another mutation due to the help of a magic stone. With the second and final episode of this two episode series granting the turtles the ability to add metal to there skin why all of this is indeed explained away in the show in a way that makes sense it's also something that's a stretch to far when it comes to suspending your disbelief as for all intense and purposes this show is a direct continuation of the 1987 series and yet even that show for as weird and as campy as it got it never really gave the turtles additional powers with this being made all the more worse due to the fact that this two episode OVA series was really only made to promote to two really different sets of turtles toys the first one being made to promote the SuperMutants toy line and episode only being made to promote the Metal Mutants toy line and while yes the original show was also made to promote a toy line the original show was really a bit more subtle then what this show really was.

As was just stated there are only two episodes in this OVA series which is a shame as it is interesting to see what they could do with the turtles in anime form. However at the same time with this series really only being made to promote two different toy lines there's only so much that you can do with that before you start to run of toys to include and as a result we are left with this what can only be described as a really odd series with this series bring something that really could have been better explored upon if it was given a full series akin to the Transformers anime series and heck given the amount of Ninja Turtles toys out there they very easily could have adapted any of the old toys and created a new series set in there world different from the 1987 series which would have allowed them to do something different with the turtles instead of just having them be like lesser and in some cases more dumber versions of there 1987 TV series counterparts.

All of the characters in this series are written so badly as for example April is written as someone who while still an alley of the turtles would never get involved with there battles with The Shredder. This is despite the fact that April would frequently get into fights with many of the turtles foes and helping them out in anyway that she can how the worse offenders are easily both The Shredder and Krang as while yes in the original 1987 series there were quite dumb and goofy villains they could at least get the job done when it mattered the most however in this series there both written as being really dumb characters which is something that doesn't match with what it is that were seeing on screen and have seen in the original series and as a result of this is the fact that it makes the makers of this show seem like they never watched the original show this is despite the fact that original series producer Fred Wolf is involved in this show as a producer and yet he somehow gave the OK to have The Shredder be almost as dumb and as idiotic as both Bebop and Rocksteady.

Now then the first episode of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty seven minuets and fifty seven seconds whilst episode two of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly thirty one minuets and twenty seconds. With the series as a whole lasting no longer then fifty eight minuets with both of this shows episodes having some really solid running time even if the final five minuets or so of episode two is quite literally just adverts for either Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles including the toys that were featured in this two episode OVA which really isn't needed as while the second episode really doesn't have that much plot to cover even twenty five minuets worth of running time as it really is just thin on plot with the first episode fairing a little bit better in this regard as episode one does have alot of plot to really cover that amount of running time with both episodes having some really good pacing to them both.

So now then as 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. However at the same time tho this shows action wasn't as good nor was it as fun as the action even in the 1990 live action movie was as the action in both of these episodes doesn't really have any scene where we see the turtles working together with them instead mostly taking of different foes at the exact same time which really isn't half of fun as it is seeing the turtles all working together to take down all of there foes at the exact same time but when this show does have some cool action you really do know about it it's just shame that the action in this show is mostly really dull to watch in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this show is just as weird as you really want it to be and is a sign that the turtles really will attach there name to anything as long as it will all of the companies some money with this show really rather rightfully being forgotten about it and heck there's not even dub version of this series as this series is just that rare to find anywhere and is just that weird and strange 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 really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episode that I used in this very review being the official Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not all of the images that are on the official Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom wiki page are really all really fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
