Let's just get through this shall we: basically; Samira [Younger: performer unknown/Older: Lupita Nyong'o:] she was a author, she has terminal cancer, I believe his name is Bilbo [I would give you is real name but I can't find it on the cast listing,] I will discuss more later about this cat, but the world went to hell and on their travels they met Eric [Joseph Quinn:] he is English, he has come over to New York to study law and out of the two of them; he is a coward, but they go on this journey to get on this board.

Generally speaking: the script is; well it is convenient that we have Day One in the title, because this prequel is a big Number Two, there isn't much to talk about really [I will do another piece of content as it relates to this film, I just can't talk about it here just based on this content/outlay is not designed for that purpose.] But what I can indicate is if you are expecting some kind of action behind or around every corner, this film is going to leave you disappointed. I mean everything else about this film minus some bits and pieces which I will discuss at some point, everything else is wafer thin. Which in turn means the framework and pacing of this 100 minutes;It is straightforward, I will make references to this in one way or another in this content, but it relies on this trio.

Art and action; the viewers get to witness this exquisite puppetry and puppet and later on there is this in the water/underwater swim/chase sequence as our human partnership is being changed Death Angel, because Eric made a sound so Death Angel is chasing them from above.

Character, comedy and performances; the only character that stood out head and shoulders above everything or everyone else was this black-and-white cat, in the film. Full disclosure I should point out I am a cat person, but this cat is just lots of fun, this feline is slightly comical from the aspect of through all of this, you will see this feline just carrying on as if everything is normal, including making Eric jump. The human character developments are versions of what they are meant to be [I will discuss the cancer element in the other content, so I haven't just swept under the carpet; but when that content gets published/goes live I will link it in to this content at the bottom] and their performers; Nyong'o and Quinn individually or together [including with or without Bilbo;] on reflection I would have to say with taking everything into consideration they did a good job carrying this film.

This film receives: 2/10, this film is poor; it gives you a very basic beginning to this situation and that is it; I am hoping they do one more film just to finish off this franchise.

 

In-depth Predictions/Other elements for Forbidden Door 2024 by AverageMansReviews

In-depth Predictions/Other elements for Forbidden Door 2024 by AverageMansReviews

Just a heads up: déjà vu; I will be brief-ish in this content, not out of laziness, it is just I have other content to create and I did warn AEW that on their original pay-per-view plan it was okay to do massive pay-per-views, because they weren't that frequent. But because they have made them more frequently and still doing these 10 matches including Zero Hour mention which could easily go to 14 matches and back in the day I criticised the WWE for doing exactly the same thing, so either cut some of these matches or follow in the footsteps of the WWE or get their first to make your pay-per-view's completely then I will say that again completely a weekend experience, so either make these cards 7 plus 1 Zero Hour so 8 in total or possibly 9 matches long and the same here [but these 10 matches have to be bangers in their own ways.] Or get ready for potentially more complaints in the present or/and the future.

Warning Speculation: I will be speculating that some point in this content

The Don Callis Family's: Konosuke Takeshita vs. the ROH Champion Mark Briscoe vs. The Elite's: Jack Perry vs. Top Flight's: Dante Martin vs. Lio Rush vs. El Phantasmo; Ladder Match for the vacant AEW TNT Championship: my pick is Jack Perry. Before I continue I just want to say I really, really wanted to say Takeshita, I think he and the Don Callis Family are well overdue for a bit of luck. But I don't think, actually I am pretty sure that is not the story they are going with so, they are going to go with Perry as part of The Elite to reinforce their dominance that kind of thing.

Mina Shirakawa vs. Champ Toni Storm [with Luther;] Singles Match for the AEW Women's World Championship Mariah May will be at ringside in support of both participants: my pick is Mina Shirakawa. I could be completely wrong here, but if these two promotions want to have a good partnership, it just seemed like may be it would be a good time to do 50-50 booking as in one promotion wins here, yet later on the other wins and on top of that I see this feud continuing anyway.

Samoa Joe, Hook & the ROH Pure Champion Katsuyori Shibata vs. The Learning Tree's: the FTW Champion Chris Jericho & Big Bill [with Bryan Keith] & Jeff Cobb; Trios Match: my pick is Learning Tree's: the FTW Champion Chris Jericho & Big Bill & Jeff Cobb. Well with still a relatively new-ish fraction/stable, I am going with common sense here as in you still want to make them look strong, apart from obviously if your name is Undisputed Kingdom, but let's not talk about them.

MJF vs. Hechicero; Singles Match: my pick is MJF. To be honest I am just going to rattle off the next few matches.

The Mighty Don't Kneel's: Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Orange Cassidy; Singles Match: my pick is Zack Sabre Jr. This match should be either match of the night or an equal or a close second.

Los Ingobernables de Japón's: Tetsuya Naito vs. Champ The Blackpool Combat Club's: Jon Moxley; Singles Match for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship: my pick is Jon Moxley. This is going to be a very intense match and it should be lots of fun.

The AEW TBS Champion Mercedes Moné vs. NJPW Strong Women's Championship Stephanie Vaquer; Winner Takes All Match for both the AEW TBS Championship and NJPW Strong Women's Championship: my pick is Mercedes Moné. Now back to what I was saying about 50-50 booking from earlier, if it goes how I have suggested it, probably both promotions would be delighted to have Moné, so everyone wins.

Scissor Ace: The Acclaimed: Anthony Bowens & Max Caster [with "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn] & Hiroshi Tanahash vs. The Elite: the AEW World Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks: Matthew & Nicholas Jackson & the AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada; Trios Match: my pick is The Elite: The Young Bucks: Matthew & Nicholas Jackson & Kazuchika Okada. Just to finish off a good night for The Elite

The Blackpool Combat Club's: Bryan Danielson vs. Shingo Takagi; Men's Owen Hart Cup Tournament First Round Match: my pick is Bryan Danielson. I can see him going far this year in this tournament.

The AEW International Champion Will Osprey vs. the AEW World Heavyweight Champion Swerve Strickland [with Prince Nana;] Singles Match for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship: my pick is Swerve Strickland. I have a feeling that we may see your return or a debut or at minimum a dusty finish, I am leaning towards these two having a rematch at AEW All In 2024, but this time for all the marbles which I see Osprey go over here, for the obvious reason of it being held at Wembley Stadium in England and as Osprey is English, there you go.

Pay-Per-View Rewind of: Starrcade '95: World Cup of Wrestling 27/12/1995 Match 2 Part 2 by AverageMansReviews - Spoiler Alarm!

Warning: flashing effects/colourful effects

Match/Stipulations: Representing NJPW: the IWPG Junior Heavyweight Champion Koji Kanemoto [with Sonny Onoo] vs. Representing WCW "Das Wunderkind" Alex Wright: World Cup of Wrestling [Best of 7; All 7 will be competed for] Singles Match

Match Attributes:

Match Quality: 10/10

Match Slot Storyline: 10/10

Crowd Participation: 7/10

On Commentary: Bobby "The Brain" Heenan/"Wiesel," Tony Schiavone & "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes 7/10

Satisfying Conclusion: 10/10

Recommend Watch: 10/10

Match Total: 54/60 - this match/match slot is excellent

Comments: as you can see there is a lot to like about this match/match slot, it just takes the momentum of the previous match slot and just carried on with it, but as you can see there were little problems. For some strange reason the crowd started calling out USA, you know that old chestnut. But however this makes absolutely no sense considering Wright is from Europe and Kanemoto is from Asia and then on commentary we have Heenan making a similar reference to both sides American and Japan having the same conditioning, but all they had to do was say team WCW or team NJPW and this would have resolved the problem and it would have been right as well. But let's leave things on positive this match/match slot is a hard-hitting advertising for these two very different wrestling styles meaning European and Asian and this just reminds me of how much Wright was perhaps born in the wrong time in wrestling history, because in modern times of 2024, he would easily be getting recognised as a glowing asset and someone that at some point would be given more multiple championships including main event ones as well.

Basic Result: the IWPG Junior Heavyweight Champion Koji Kanemoto [with Sonny Onoo] picks up the win to put New Japan Pro Wrestling 2 Up.

Basic walk-through of this event:

* Tony Schiavone & Bobby "The Brain" Heenan/"Wiesel: Commentary talk about what they have just seen over replay with Koji Kanemoto's theme music "Yokahama"

* Bobby "The Brain" Heenan/"Wiesel," Tony Schiavone & "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes: Commentary on-screen in a nutshell stress and concern over the predicament WCW currently find themselves in.

* "Mean" Gene Okerlund: Interviewer interviews is going to have an interview with Onoo, but before he does he is going to advertise the WCW Hotline with this graphic that comes on screen and then he talks to Onoo on basically how things are going for his side and in summary Onoo is delighted. Then Okerlund makes a small blooper, but also corrects himself as he goes to hand it back to Eric [Eric Bischoff] but he meant to say Tony [Tony Schiavone.]

* Bobby "The Brain" Heenan/"Wiesel," Tony Schiavone & "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes: Commentary on-screen again stressing concern about the position that WCW find themselves in at this moment in time.

* Dave Penzer: Ring Announcer [graphic of this match; on-screen, but medium-size and sliding down the screen like a water park slide] saying stipulations and competitors.

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/cutting/drugs/strangling/domestic violence/burning/vehicle crashed/stabbing/medical.

Our story begins in the 1960's: Danny [Mike Faist:] is a photographer/interviewer; interviewing Kathy [Jodie Comer:] about the Vandals Chicago motorcycle club as she has firsthand experience of this lifestyle as she meets her husband Benny one night; Benny [Austin Butler:] is a right-hand member of the Vandals Chicago, he is quiet presence, but also can be aggressive. The leader of the Vandals Chicago is Johnny [Tom Hardy:] a family man had the idea for a motorcycle club, but eventually as you will see his idea grew too big and too wild for him to handle.

Generally speaking: the framework is of a as I have already indicated documentary/biography [this film is based on real-life events] outlay, so it follows that outlay fluently as in it has a story to tell and with the pacing of this film which is roughly 116 minutes long been always moving, so there is always something going on, you really don't have time to get bored with this film in the slightest.

Performances and character developments; because of the framework and outlay being what it is; this is very much a cast performance driven film, spearheaded with Comer, Butler and Hardy, there are no weak performances from this cast, because if there was this is one of those occasions where they would stick out like a sore thumb. But this film doesn't have to worry about this potentially massive banana skin. The character developments are good versions of what they are meant to be, but and I can't stress this enough their performance make them complete characters/people with well roundness or/and depth.

Art, action and comedy; this project put across from time to time riding a motorcycle, be it the unity if you are willing that lifestyle of belonging to a motorcycle group or/and the feeling of freedom going through these landscapes, but if you're being chased by police, just make sure you don't run out of petrol.

This film receives: 9/10, this film is excellent; I have decided to award another mark based on the cast, I don't like section off the audiences, but in this case you can see where I am going with this; if this is your kind of thing you will enjoy this film, or if not still take a look at this film, but if you don't like this walk of life or anything to do with it, maybe this film is it for you. But having said that if you like the one or more of the trio I have mentioned still take a look at this film. This film has 1 award to its name; Mill Valley Film Festival 2023 Mill Valley Film Festival Directing Jeff Nichols.
