Neon Genesis Evangelion "Angel Attack" Review

When it comes to anime there quite alot of legendary anime out there alot of which are ones that you pretty much have to watch at least once even if it's not all the way through. As is the case with the episode that i'm about to review for you all today as it's the debut episode of a really legendary anime that is still being talked about to this very day and so then join me as I review the episode that introduced the world to Shinji Ikari with the episode in question being called simply just "Angel Attack" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when the future city of Tokyo-3 finds itself under attack from a giant monster young Shinji Ikari must decide if he wants to fight or if he wants to sit there and do nothing. 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 of the actual episode 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 but at the same time tho the plot of this episode was also a rather thinly drawn out plot as well with the plot whilst it is indeed a really good plot for this debut episode to have isn't that strong of a plot as this is the first time that we the audience are getting to see these characters and yet when you have the main character unsure of what to do even tho he's been living in this world it doesn't really make sense for him to question if he wants to fight or not 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 Casey Mongillo as Shinji Ikari , Carrie Keranen as Misato and Stephanie McKeon as Asuka. Also starring in this episode is Ryan Bartley as Rei Ayanami , Ray Chase as Gendo Ikari , anime voice acting legend Erica Lindbeck as Ritsuko Akagi , Tom And Jerry: Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory star J. P. Karliak as Kozo Fuyutsuki , Benjamin Diskin as Kensuke Aida , Greg Chun as Ryoji Kaji and Power Rangers star Johnny Yong Bosch as Toji Suzuhara.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With all of this episodes cast members turning in some really good performances and while yes not alot of the actors that have been listed appear in this episode it was hard to get a complete cast list for any version of the show and as you can no doubt work out this review is being based off of the Netflix dub of the show which wasn't that bad with all of the actors that do actually appear in this episode turning in some really solid performances which does make as someone like Erica Lindbeck is a really good voice actress and both she and the rest of this episodes cast do turn in some really solid performances 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 actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is is something that really does help tom raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this episode.

Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the really greats that are currently over at Gainax. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty shockingly good which was something that really surprising as you don't think of good animation being in nineties anime unless it's in a feature film as alot of anime series from that time period really don't have animation that hold up really well and that's not the case with this episode as this episodes animation really does hold up well and at times as in the above picture look like visually stunning and look like a piece of art as that's how good alot of this episodes really can be at points and all it does is make you wonder if the animation in this franchise is going to be as good if not better then the animation that we got in this episode which does go to show you just ho good the animation really was.

To give this episode some credit the characters in this episode are some really well written characters but at the same time Shinji Ikari is still just as annoying as he is in Evangelion 1.11. As all he does in this episode is spent alot of the episodes running time either crying or yelling and very little time actually acting like a normal and not annoying person and while it is understandable for the character to act this way in the first episode as this is only the first episode of the show at the same time tho it doesn't really give you a reason to like this character either and while that might be something that does get fixed in later episodes the first episode really needs to start of with it's best foot forward and that includes making your main character less annoying with the character of Misato is a good example of a good character as she's a fun character to watch in this episode who isn't afraid to be who she is but when the situation demands it she really can be just as serious and really just as demanding of the pilots as anyone else who works at Nerv.

One of the things that this show is known for is it's use of fanservice and that is something that's all over this first episode. As we get to see Misato in all kids of positions and revealing outfits that are fanservice and are there just because the makers of this show gave her a good body however while that would be seen as a bad thing by today's standards it is something that also proves a point as even tho she does look and in some cases act like a ditz alot of the time she is also who knows what she's doing and knows how to get Shinji to do what he needs to do at the end of episode which proves that she has more brains then what she's letting on and it also proves that there's more to her then just her looks with this further being proved in the scene where she and Shinji witness a bomb going of and she names the type of bomb despite them being nowhere near the bomb in question in order to get a good look at it and while she does admit to getting lost in the Nerv base something which we find out happens quite often the reasoning behind it does make sense as it's a new base and it's something that would happen if this was an old base that they'd been at for say a few years.

In a scene that does both feel pointless for this episode but is also needed for the franchise as a whole we do get to see that whatever damage the Eva takes the pilot also feels that damage and gets hurt as well. While a scene like that does feel pointless in this episode as it's something that adds to this episode at the same time it's something that adds something to the franchise as a whole as it says to us the audience that every single time that Shinji pilots his Eva he could die not just his mecha but him as a person and that is something does add an extra level of threat to an already threatening situation while a scene like this one doesn't really work in this episode as we the audience still don't know why the human race are fighting these giant monsters and would it be much better placed in say episode three maybe episodes two or four as by then the world of this show could start to developed alot more and that moment of seeing Rei basically close to death would make the whole situation and the whole idea hit home and hir alot more harder then what it does in this episode as it's something that really isn't needed in this episode.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty three minuets and thirty seven seconds. Which is a bit on the short side for an episode like this one to have as the episode really does have more then enough plot to cover at the very least forty five minuets and with that running time the episode could delve into the world more and it could start to develop alot of it;s characters alot more then what they already because as things stand alot of the characters don't get alot of time to get across what it is that there personality is even meant to be and in the case of Rei despite her being a main character she only gets a few lines of dialog near the end of the episode which does make sense as the episode really is meant to be about setting up Shinji but if the episode did have a slightly longer running time it would mean that the characters would get more of a chance to shine and whole yes the episodes plot is really thin at best the idea is there to really sustain a longer running time and the episode would benefit from having a longer time and it really would also mean that the world that this show really takes place in would really get more of a chance to really be fully fleshed out then what it already is in this final cut of the episode 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 not that bad. However that's also the problem as this episodes action isn't all that good either as all it is is the monster just getting getting attacked by the military and that's really it which is fine for say a Godzilla movie where you can also change it up by having Godzilla use his powers to keep things interesting here tho you don't have that advantage and as a result of that is the fact that you have to keep on creating interesting action scenes and having the military just pointlessly attacking this monster that they know they can't stop while it starts of good just slowly gets more and more boring however to this episodes credit having the episode basically be one long action scene is a good idea and it's during this episodes action where the animation really does come alive and leap of the screen as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this was a solid if a somewhat flawed episode to start this legendary anime out on and it;s quite clear tom see that even from this episode this show really did have alot of potential and while it did reach that potential in the end this episode really didn't do it any kind of favours whatsoever in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the and 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 7.5 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 ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Evangelion 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 really great the official Evangelion fandom wiki page really 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 up and really on the official Evangelion fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Spawn: The Animated Series: Burning Visions Review

Comic book superheroes getting an animated series in fact it's rather rare these days to find a comic book superhero that doesn't have an animated series. However what is still odd to this very day is to find an animated series that's just as adult and just as mature as the comic book that it spawned from and well that's just the case with the episode that i'm about to review for you all today and so then join me as I review the episode that has a shocking amount of narration in it with the episode in question being called simply just "Burning Visions" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when he is reincarnated and tasked to fight in the devils army Lieutenant Colonel Al Simmons must decide between doing what is right or doing the devils bidding. Now then interms of what I personally 5tyhought / felt about thew 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 tho as the plot of this episode wasn't all that good either as the plot really was so wafer thin at best that at times it was really hard to tell what the actual plot of the episode even was in the first place but when the plot did show up it really was a decent plot but it's just one that could have been done alot better and has been done better in other shows and movies 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 Keith David as Lieutenant Colonel Al Simmons / Spawn and Richard Dysart as Nicholas Cogliostro. Also starring in this episode is Dominique Jennings as Wanda Blake , John Rafter Lee as Jason Wynn , Michael Nicolosi as Clown , Kath Soucie as Cyan Fitzgerald , James Keane as Detective Sam Burke and Antonio "Tony Twist" Twistelli , Michael McShane as Detective Maximilian "Twitch" Williams and Gareb , Victor Love as Bobby , Ronny Cox as Senator Scott McMillan and Spawn creator and the creator and executive producer of this show Todd McFarlane as Himself.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I 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 the acting in this episode being alot better then what it really had any right to be as nobody would blame the actors in this episode if they chose not give that good of a performance due to the fact that the Spawn character and the Spawn comic books aren't that well known and yet there's just as much love , care an attention from not only a show making point of view but also an acting point of view in this show that you'd expect in something like Batman: The Animated Series and because of that is the fact that all of this episodes cast members really do turn in some really good performances in this episode 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 which is something that really does raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Koko Enterprises Company and Sheen Production. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode weas in all honesty really good with the animation in this episode being alot better then what it really had right to be which does make sense that given that one of the animation studios that are doing the animation for this episode also did animation for several episodes and films based off of Batman: The Animated Series and as a result of that is the fact that it really does make sense that they would turn in some really good animation in this episode as they always do turn in some really good animation with the characters having some really good and fluid movements and the backgrounds looking very visually striking all of which really do mesh well with the episodes more gothic tone and it's much more darker and horrific lore as well.

This episode and the show as a whole is a really violent show with there being lots of blood and gore in pretty much every single episode. Which is something that does make sense given that the Spawn character works for the devil and he would there for have access to all pf these gruesome ways to kill and hurt people which he does make great use in this episode and heck this episode is alot more violent then what the movie was and is alot more mature then other animated shows that were on at the time and much like Game Of Thrones and House Of The Dragon it does take full advantage of it's more mature rating by having alot of things that just wouldn't fly in other animated shows and because of that is the fact that the show really does standout from all of the other superhero animated shows that were out there at the time as alot of them do start to blend into one where as here because of mature and how violent this episode and this show is it stands out from all of the other superhero animated shows that were being released at the time.

One of the things that do let this episode down is the fact that they have a narrator who just doesn't shut up. With the narrator having more lines of dialog then any of the main characters and coming in on parts of the episode where he's not really needed and while yes having a narrator for your show does indeed help the show out as it makes the show feel a bit more different the episode also needed to let the characters talk as this is the first time that alot of the mainstream public are really getting to see these characters and having a narrator constantly talk and get in the way of the plot it is something that really can put alot of people of as it also gets in the way with giving us the audience a good chance to see just who these characters are as people and while yes the show has three seasons worth of episodes to get all of that across it is something that should have started with this episode as with a first episode you really need to put your best foot forward and that's really not something that happens with this episode in any way whatsoever and it is something that really does get in the way of the episode from reaching it's true potential.

This show is listed as being a horror show and yet outside of there being demons in this episode there was nothing to really justify being classed as a horror show. While maybe the gory deaths might help it be classed of a horror those aren't scary and horror needs to be scary but the idea of there being a horror comic book superhero animated show is a good idea as both horror and animation have blended together perfectly at several points in the past and and doing an animated horror show about a comic book would have the potential to be a really cool and while yes the demons in this episode do look really cool with Clown / Violator looking really cool he doesn't get to do all that much in the episode as the episode is all about telling us Spawn's origin story which does make sense but at the same time tho the episode should have set up some of his side villains as well and yet they really don't do that with Clown being the only recognisable villain to appear in this episode but all he does is just say a few lines of dialog here and there and that's really it and that's not enough for us the audience to geta decent idea of who that character is as a character.

Now then then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty seven minuets and thirty nine seconds. Which is a tad bit o the long side for this episode to have as the episode really doesn't have alot of plot to really cover that large amount of running time and because of that is the fact that this episode really could have been better if it was just a few minuets just to make the episode flow alot more better then what it already does because as things stand with the episode having a thin plot and long running time thing just don't flow all that well with Spawn's back story which is the main plot of the episode being told in flashback form with the main story revolving around a series of killings which isn't that interesting and bogs the episode down and as a result of that is the fact that the episode really would have been better if the episode was alot more focused on telling Spawn's origin and had the present day plot be saved for the second episode of the show as there's alot of story material that you could use from Spawn's origin which would make great use of the episodes running time 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 not that bad. However at the exact same time the action that's in this episode wasn't all that good either as it wasn't as thrilling nor as cool or exciting as it really could have been and while yes we do get to see some really cool moments in this episode action wise there not as good as they really should have been nor as good as a character like this who has all of these dark powers really should have been either but to really give this episode some credit the episodes animation really does come alive during the episodes action and while we really don't get to see alot of cool moments from this episode action what we do get to see really is alot better then what it really had any right to be and is alot better then the action that we get in alot of other action shows which really does make sense as this episode and this show does have Batman: The Animated Series co-creator Eric Radomski working on it and it's quite clear that he knows how to stage some really good looking action scenes in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while this episode is indeed a decent start to the series it also doesn't give you a reason to want to watch the rest of the series either as there's no hook to this episode that makes you want to watch the next episode but the episode does have the potential to be a really good episode 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 as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all pf the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls an as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Spawn 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 really great Google Images really 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 up and really on Google Images are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Noddy's Toyland Adventures "Noddy Loses Sixpence" Review

There are quite alot of childrens shows out there that are forgotten about for one reason or another be it because of the fact that the series itself didn't last long or the series itself just wasn't that good in the first place. Well the episode that i'm going to be talking about today is an example of a show being forgotten about because of the fact that those who grew up watching it just don't talk about it or don't let there kids see something from the same franchise and so then join me as I review the episode that introduces us to the world of toyland with the episode in question being called simply just "Noddy Loses Sixpence" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when he finds out that Mr. Milko the milkman has lost his watch Noddy sets out on a quest to find the watch and several other things that have been lost as well 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 simple at best and in this case that is a very good as that's all the plot to a kids show should be simple and with the plot of this episode being as simple as it is it does allow for a certain charm to shine on through something which wouldn't be possible if the episode had a much more complicated plot to it which would do alot more harm to the episode then it would do good for the episode 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 Susan Sheridan as Noddy , Dinah Doll , Martha Monkey , Clockwork Mouse and Miss Pink Cat and Jimmy Hibbert as Big Ears , Mr Train Driver and Mr Milko. What makes this show standout is the fact that instead of having one voice actors play every role in the show it instead has two voice actors playing all of the roles in any given episode of the show which does allow for more variety in not only voices being heard at any given time but also in performances as it could be very easy to assume that since the acting is good in one episode that it's going to be good in all of the shows episodes as well and it also really does allow for the both of the actors to really bounce of each others personalities something which does come through in the final cut of the episode and while alot of other shows do now have multiple people voicing multiple roles in any given episode this was one of the shows that did it and did it well and it's something that really does work well enough in this episodes advantage.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With both of this episodes cast members turning in some really good performances so much that at times it was hard to tell who was playing who as the voices that each actors uses for there respective characters really does fit each character perfectly and perfectly captures the whimsical and playful tone of not only the world that this show takes place in but also the world that this show takes place in as well 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 which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Cosgrove Hall Productions. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good and is something that does hold up all of these years later and while yes some of the animation in alot of these shows and this episode can come across as looking rather dated that does add to the charm to them as they then can also look timeless where as alot of CGI animation is going to look dated in a few months time here because there using stop motion animation it adds a slight timeless factor that is present throughout alot of the episode and while yes some of the animation in this episode does come across as looking rather bad and dated the overall quality of the animation that's in this episode was really good.

The best word that I can quite possibly use to describe this show and this episode is simple and that's because everything about this show is just that it's simple. With that being a really good thing as kids don't like having super dark and super complicated plots and characters in there young kids shows and instead having a show where the plots are simple and very easy to follow and the characters that whilst lacking much in the way of a personality are also simple can often make for a really enjoyable episode as is the case with this episode as due to the fact that the plot and the characters are simple heck even the backgrounds are simple looking backgrounds the whole episode has a certain charm to it that can't be beaten by modern day kids TV shows as those shows are trying to please everyone but end up pleasing no one where as a show like this knows that it's a simple show and and it really isn't afraid to be just that a simple and laid back show for little kids to watch , enjoy and hopefully learn a lesson from.

One of the biggest issue that there is to find with this show is that things are wrapped up a little bit two quickly. As it would have made for a rather exciting finish to the story if we saw Noddy returning all of the things that he found that day and collecting the money that was owed to him from everyone instead all of that happens off screen which in away does make sense as the episodes target audience most likely didn't have enough interest in seeing Noddy return everything that he found but at the same time given that returning those objects was a key part pf the episodes plot it would have made alot more sense to see him returning those objects and seeing if not hearing those people apologize to him after they thought that he lost there objects on purpose and yet because of the fact that all of that happens of screen what we end up with a something that not only feels unearned but also feels rushed as all heck as well when it worked out much more better in the episodes favor if we saw all of that stuff instead of having it happen off screen.

In what was a rather shocking move this episode does actually try to make us the audience cry and feel something for Noddy. Which both does and doesn't work it does work in the sense that the episode has made the Noddy character out to be this really sympathetic character who really will do the best that he can do to help out all of his friends but at the same time tho it doesn't work in the episodes favor as it doesn't really feel earned and comes out of nowhere this is due to the fact that this is only the episodes first series and while a moment like this could have worked if it was much more further down in the series order as by that point in time we the audience would have had alot more time to get to know not only Noddy but all of the other characters as well and as a result of that is the fact that the more emotional moment would worked better but having it here just lessens it's impact a little bit as we don't know the Noddy character all that well yet and neither do we know all of the other characters in toyland all that well yet either,

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly ten minuets and twenty eight seconds. Which is about the bogstandard running time for a show like this one to have and to the episodes credit it does have more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that amount of running time and it does take as full advantage of that running time as it really could have done and while yes the episode would have worked better if it did have a slightly longer running time as that would allow the characters to become alot more fleshed out then what they already but really at the same time tho that would mean that this episode already thin plot as wonderfully written as it is really would be stretched out even thinner then what it already is and that would be a huge issue for the episode as a whole and that would also mean that the episodes target audience might start to loose interest in the show as a whole but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. However that's also the problem as alot of this episodes isn't all that good either apart from Miss Pink Cat being a really over the top drama queen none of the characters in this episode are that funny nor are they given that many funny things to say or do and as a result of that is the fact that we're left watching these characters that we don't really know all that well just go about there day to day lives and while that is fine for a thirty minuet show that's aimed at an older audience for a ten minuet little kids show however the jokes really do need to be at least passable or something that they'd find to be funny in someway shape or form in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while this show was a really good show that kids could really enjoy thanks to the animation and the simple character the episode feels like it should have been alot more further down in the series running order instead of being the first episode of the series as whole in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good ans 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 s 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 Cosgrove Hall fandom wiki page , the official Noddy 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 really great Google Images really 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 up and really on Google Images are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

With all of this episodes cast members turning in some really good performances which is something that really shouldn't be all that surprising as the acting in alot of this series episodes have been really good with the true standouts in not only this series but also this episode being Ncuti Gatwa as The Doctor and Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday who just turn in some truly fantastic performances in this episode with alot of the actors in this episode turning in some really good performances as well but none of them can really hold a candle to just how good both Ncuti and Millie are in not only this episode but also this first as a whole as well 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 performances will come out of them naturally which is something that really does raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

Doing the CGI for this episode is Automatik VFX and 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 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 very good with the CGI in this episode both obvious and hidden being movie quality CGI heck they didn't even film in London and yet because of the fact that the CGI in this episode is that good the London skyline is added into shots where it would be visible and your not going to notice it and while yes there some dodgy looking effects to be found in this episode weas somethings looking a bit to fake those are in the minority and don't represent the majority of the effects that are in this very episode with alot of the episodes effects being really good with Sutekh himself looking really good and looking alot better then what he had any right to be which really isn't all that surprising as thanks to all of the Disney money Doctor Who can now afford some actually good looking CGI effects something which they really couldn't afford even five years ago.

What wasn't really expected was the fact that this episode basically does what Avengers: Infinity War also did. That being the fact that alot of the cast of characters do end up being killed of in this episode however what made the scene in Avengers: Infinity War worked was the fact that alot of who got killed of were main characters where as here there all side character or guest characters and as a result of that is the fact that a scene that should be an emotional gut punch for us the viewers doesn't really work all that well as as there not characters that are important to the show imagine if say Ruby Sunday was one of the characters that got killed of then it would be shocking and it would make you wonder if she's going to brought back and yet because it's either side characters or guest characters that get killed of the scene lacks the emotional gut punch that a scene lack this really should have and while this wouldn't be an issue if it wasn't a key plot point but as it is a key plot point it's a scene that really should have been worked on and tweaked alot more then what it was.

One of the best mysteries that this series had going for it was who was Ruby's mother and while yes this episode does indeed answer that question. The reveal of who her mother was is rather underwhelming as while it is shocking that her mother wasn't anybody important or any body that we already knew it's a reveal that could have been handled better as we only get the reveal in the last ten minuets of the episode when something like this should have been built up alot better and played a bigger part in the plot of the episode instead of just having it appear in the last ten minuets of the episode which only cheapens the reveal as this is something that's been a really big mystery throughout this whole series and it should have been treated as a big deal as that's exactly what it's been built up to be and yet because of the fact that they threw that all away just for the sake of having the big reveal happen in the last few minuets of the episode when something that's been treated as a big deal really should have played a bigger plot of the episode. 

One of the things that the episode gets very wrong is he fact that The Doctor breaks his own promise by killing Sutekh. This is just one example of the bad writing that does plague alot of this episode as The Doctor would never kill an enemy of his heck even in Genesis Of The Daleks he has a great speech where he questions if he has the right to wipe out an entire race and chooses not to do it because it would make him no better then The Daleks themselves and it's the same thing here as by killing Sutekh The Doctor becomes no better then him with his death being just one example of alot of the bad writing that is all over this episode as The Doctor just knows that Mel has turned evil and plans with Ruby to get the TARDIS back all of which is done of screen and while yes they do show Mel touching The Doctor which clues him in to Mel being dead it's the part after it where he says Ruby and they start making there plan that comes out of nowhere as while yes it does make for a solid surprise it's also something that not only should have been handled better but also something that should have been shown on screen as well.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly fifty four minuets and five seconds. Which is a solid running time for this episode to have as the episode really does have more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that large amount of plot and while the episode could have done with cutting down on the episodes many endings as alot of them do make the episode drag a little bit as they don't really add anything and are there just for the sake of being there which makes them feel alot like filler scenes this episode is also a really good example of being a two part episode as there's absolutely no way that this whole story could be told in one episode as there's just so much story for one episode but at the same time this episode also would have benefitted from being a three part episode with the scene where all of the side characters and guest characters get killed of being the cliffhanger for the second part as this would allow for alot of the characters to have some development as characters like Rose Noble once again gets the short end of the stick as she only has one line of dialog near the end of the episode and if this episode was a three part episode then she and others could have gotten some character development 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. With the action in this episode being some of if not the best action that we got all series just because of the fact that this was a two part episode and as a result of that is the fact that the episode had some really high stakes which made the action in this episode not only more exciting but also more shocking as the characters could have failed at any point and if they did then they would have died which did make the action all of the more shocking to see and while yes the action could have been alot better considering that Doctor Who has never really had great action anyway the fact that we got some really good action alone does really show you what this show can do from an action standpoint when they have to money behind them to do whatever it is that they want to do from an action point of view in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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

Overall this episode was a really solid end to a really solid debut season that despite having it's ups and downs has been alot better then alot of the Jodie Whittaker seasons as the writing on this series has bee alot better then both series eleven and series twelve have been combined in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as ell as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review ad as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand l 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 as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the mages that I personally used in this very review from the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page , the official Doctor Who 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 really great Google Images really 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 up and really on Google Images are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Doctor Who: Tales Of The TARDIS: Pyramids Of Mars SPOILER FILLED Review

Tales of The TARDIS a show that many Doctor Who fans can't see because of the fact that it wasn't payed for by Disney has now finally come back with a new episode. With this episode only being released because of the fact that the villain in this episode is also the villain in the series finale of Doctor Who series 14 and so then join me as I review the episode that came out just a few short days after a review of Pyramids Of Mars was very recently reviewed by me with the episode in question being called simply just "Pyramids Of Mars" enjoy.

The plot of this up is when The Doctor and Ruby meet up in the remembered TARDIS The Doctor starts to tell her about the time that he previously faced of against Sutekh. Now then interms if what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad with the episodes plot being very well done with the same thing not really being true for The Doctor and Ruby scenes which does make sense as those scenes are only bookends for the main story but at the same time given that this episode is featuring the same villain that's going to be featured in the series finale alot more effort should have gone into crafting a decent plot for The Doctor and Ruby scenes with the plot of the main episode being a really good plot which does make sense given that this episodes co-writer was Robert Holmes 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 Ncuti Gatwa as The Doctor , Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday and Tom Baker as The Doctor. Also starring in this episode is Bernard Archard as Marcus Scarman , Michael Sheard as Laurence Scarman , Peter Copley as Dr. Warlock , Michael Bilton as Collins , George Tovey as Ernie Clements , Peter Mayock as Namin , Raiders Of The Lost Ark star Vic Tablian as Ahmed and Gabriel Woolf as Sutekh.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about thew actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Which really isn't all that surprising as both Millie and Ncuti have both turned in some really good performances in both of there debut years on the show with there acting more often that not being the true highlight of alot of the shows bad episodes and it's also the same thing alot of the cast for the main story as well with the true standout in that part of the episode being Tom Baker who is just simply phenomenal in this episode and while the rest of the cast in the episode as aa whole do turn in some good performances there not going to top just how good Tom , Ncuti and Millie are in this episode as all three of them really do bring there A game for this episode with the acting for 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 simply just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does raise the overall quality of the acting that's really in this episode.

What wasn't to be expected from this episode was the fact that use some updated effects and remove alot of the episode original very cheesy looking effects. With the newer effects looking alot better then the cheesy looking effects from the original episode but at the same time tho there's a charm to those classic effects as well that is very sadly missing from the newer effects as the new effects look a little bit to polished and a a little bit to good when the effects in classic Doctor Who were never all that good to begin with and because of that they do have a certain charm to them when there done really well and while yes the effects in the new era of Doctor Who does look and Doctor Who should always have some good effects when your replacing effects in an episode of film and updating then you should at least make an attempt to make the newer effects look like they were made back when the original production was being made as that would help those new effects blend in more where as the effects in this episode despite them looking good and being a vast improvement over the effects in the original episode don't blend in they stand out.

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

This show is pretty much Doctor Who's answer to Mystery Science Theater 3000 in that both shows feature segments with there own casts where as Mystery Science Theater 3000 will feature the main cast making jokes of a full movie this show just features a full length episode of the show. With this show and this episode in particular doing something else that Mystery Science Theater 3000 does less often and that's feature edits to whatever it is that's being spotlighted in that weeks particular episode and while the edits don't effect the overall plot of the episode they are noticeable and more often just come across as feeling weird as unlike Mystery Science Theater 3000 which replaces those scenes with there own host segments with this show they don't do that and as a result of that is the fact that there's no need to remove those scenes in the first place as this show doesn't really replace them with anything thus making the edits made to this episode comes across as being rather pointless and are there just for the sake of being there and that's really it.

One of the major issues in this episode is the fact that even tho the episode does feature the fifteenth doctor and Ruby Sunday together again. It doesn't take the time to explain how there together again as in the last episode of Doctor Who they were quite clearly miles apart from each other and not only that the episode doesn't take the time to set up something that could be payed of in the next episode of Doctor Who which granted they didn't have to do but when your rebroadcasting the debut episode of a villain that you've just reintroduced into the show and your featuring newly filmed scenes with The Doctor and Ruby Sunday then it's implied that your going to be setting up something in this episode that could then be payed of in the next episode of Doctor Who and yet this episode doesn't do that as all it does is establish that Sutekh is now a bigger threat then what he was in this episode which really isn't needed as we could have gotten all of that just from the ending of The Legend Of Ruby Sunday and the start of the next episode it's not something that needs to established in this episode but what is needed in this episode is to establish how The Doctor and Ruby are now suddenly in the memory TARDIS and aren't miles away like they were at the end of the previous episode of Doctor Who.

As a villain Sutekh himself isn't really that threatening of a villain as while yes he does have a rather creepy look about him. He doesn't really have that much of a plan as while yes we do find out that he wants to destroy the world we don't find out why and we don't don't find out what he gets out of it with this not really being helped by the fact that the character spends alot of time just sitting down and not really doing nothing with alot of his plans being done by hos servant Laurence Scarman who is arguably a better villain as the makers of the episode at least went to the effort to make him alot more interesting and just as creepy looking as Sutekh was and yet for some reason despite him being the better of the two characters it's Sutekh who is the main villain of the episode and while yes it is easy to see why people would be scared of this villain as he does look like a creepy just because the villain looks creepy doesn't make him an interesting villain and because of that is that it's not that hard to see why this villain was largely forgotten about for the overall vast majority of the Doctor Who fandom as he just isn't all that memorable of a villain.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and sixteen minuets and twenty seconds. Which is a bit on the short side for this show as an episode of this show is typically around the one hour and thirty minuets mark and yet for some strange reason this episode was fifteen whole minuets shorter when the episode really does have more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that large amount of running time as without the scenes on Ncuti and Millie the original episode ran for around one hour and thirty minuets and yet because of the fact that they made pointless edits for no reason we now have an episode that's oddly shorter then the original episode that's being spotlighted and because of that is the fact that the episode really does feel incomplete where as the original episode despite still being short in it's own right still feels really alot more complete then what this episode does but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to 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 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. Which for classic Doctor Who isn't that bad as they typically didn't do that much action scenes when it came to the classic era of Doctor Who and as a result of that is that when they do have some action in any given episode they usually went as all out as there small budget would allow and that is the case here with the episode making use of model filming for alot of the episodes action with the action in the episode being alot better then what it really had any right to be with this being because of the fact that the action in this episode felt earned and served a purpose of some kind in the overall plot of the episode and wasn't just there just so they could have an action scene in this very in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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

Overall as a lead in to the series finale this episode really doesn't do all that much and kind of feels unimportant because of it but at the same time it;s not that hard to see why this episode could serve as a great double bill with The Legend Of Sunday as it really very easily could have set up things to be payed of in the series finale and yet it just doesn't which is something that really does let down the episode as a whole 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 6.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all, pf 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 , IMP Awards .
