Welcome Tweedy Farm: briefly; we meet Ginger [voiced by: Julia Sawalha:] she is a de facto British chicken; she is the leader of this flock of chickens and she needs to get them out of here, before they get turned into chicken pies. Luck should have it that she bears witness to an American rooster flying overhead as he crushed lands inside their coop; his name is Rocky [voiced by: Mel Gibson:] he is escaping from the circus, eventually he agrees to show them how to fly, but he is hiding a secret from them.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script as you may guess already has a simple yet very effective outlay of prison escape before it is too late, so the framework and pacing of this 84 minutes film moves with excellent structure and purpose

Art, action and comedy; the art is from the genre of stop-motion [brief description; move a little bit take a picture, repeat the cycle and so on and so forth:] so it is very easy to put in different authentic contrasts and tones from being relatively calm to a dance to being mildly frightening; you can also simultaneously see the little details on everything; such as for an example characters and their accessories such as Ginger's hat and because this entire project is made out of clay, it very much has a timeless quality and to a impeccable standard to it as well

The action; we had some training sequences, without giving too much away; we have this highly imaginative type of transformer [from the aspect of; one thing turns into another thing and not an actual transformer from the franchise;] but it is still phenomenally fantastic nonetheless and there are some references from Star Trek: the original generation.

Character developments and voice performances; the character developments follow yet again a very simple yet very effective method of; everyone of these characters having a very distinctive personality; so when there is a selection of them; the chemistry in theory and in this case; is excellent, the cast of voice performers all put in a good sense of camaraderie.

This film receives: 9/10, this film is excellent; after some time thinking about it I decided to award this film and the mark, because of its by and large wholesome if for the young people it may be mildly frightening time to time, but it is still very much worth at minimum a one-time viewing, I also had the extreme pleasure of watching this film with the person I watch some content with and the cinema, it also has an extra scene right at the end of the closing credits and yes finally it does have some awards accredited to its name such as 24 Winners which include but not limited to Dallas-Fort Worth Film Critics Association Awards 2001 DFWFCA Award Best Animated Film and 25 Nominees which also include but not limited to; back to the previous award ceremony/event DFWFCA Award Best Picture

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/stabbing/impaling/disfigurement/animal cruelty/religion/ritual/medical

This film really does need Crowe and Blanchett in close proximity to really work properly: briefly: Robin Longstride/other names [Younger Robin: Jack Downham/Older: Russell Crowe:] he has the unfortunate honour of going to a village to tell a family's soldier that he has died, then protect the House of Loxley and then fight French invaders to England, we also meet Marian of Loxley [Cate Blanchett:] she is a very strong willed woman that also wants to fight the French.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script and exposition character developments/character developments are designed to do the whole origin thing of Robin Hood; but the framework and pacing of this 140 minutes film is predominately really slow; this is not the only time I will make reference to this in this content; but this film really does need Crowe and Blanchett in close proximity to one another to really get a foothold and move with some gusto, unfortunately this doesn't happen until if I had to guess roughly around the middle section of the title or here or here about; this project does really, really, so badly need them together or in close proximity

Art and action; the set designs, location designs, the wardrobe and accessories have a real sense of authentic realism, with the standard kind of action sequences for this genre; I mean the only action sequence coinciding with the art; is when we have Longstride setting up to perform this long-range bow-and-arrow shot; most of the time I don't like slow motion effects this is true; but in this case they have used it as a very important shot, so take your time, make it count and don't miss; this is very much the only action sequence/artistic visions that for me only complement one another.

Character developments and performances; broadly speaking a character developments were and are an interesting take on what we already know about these characters and these performances reflect the vast majority of these performances to a good standard; but and this is a big but this film absolutely needs Crowe and Blanchett working off one another or/and in the same location, because between them; they really do galvanised this entire project, to the point where I would dread to think where this film would have ended up without them in this film to be brutally honest yet absolutely fair at the same time; so individually their performances are good; but when they are in the same place/location their chemistry is 100% naturally excellent, which elevates their performances to excellent as they really well and truly carry this project on their backs.

This film receives: 5/10, this film is mixed; don't get me wrong for a split second in the third section of this project; it was probably going to get something a little bit higher, but I have decided to go with a number that for more or less reflects this project, I can not say this enough this project really needs Crowe and Blanchett working off one another or at minimum I will take roughly in the same location to really move comfortably and fluently with enthusiasm and purpose, now and again we do have some comical moments as well; this film does also have a colourful and highly artistic closing credits backdrop and 1 Winner to its name;  ASCAP Film and Television Music Awards 2011 ASCAP Award Top Box Office Films Marc Streitenfeld and 14 Nominees which include but not limited to Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, USA 2011 Saturn Award Best Costume Janty Yates

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/stabbing/impaling/torture/domestic terrorism/terrorism/burning/medical and yes there may be some censored adult language references in this content.

What was the point of this hot steam of manure being made?: The Dragon [Tim Roth:] a terrorist has come searching for something that partly belongs to him and he will kill anyone that stand in his way.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script is not the problem as you will find out throughout this content; but it is very much a situation based film; this basically means anything before this or after this we want to see a lot of it, if at all; we get some exposition on the character developments as it relates to previous events and that is it as it relates to anything outside of this very quickly escalating situation, the framework and pacing of this 88 minutes film is good; as it knows what it is going and just gets on with proceedings; but man and I will discuss this in more later on... but man some of these performances are insufferable; it's just one of those moments where I wish I could press the fastforward button.

Action and art; bow and arrow practice, some kind of tractor, a vehicle slipping in the opening section and much later this final showdown; the vehicle slipping or burning is artistically good as well.

Character developments and performances; they were clearly going for the tried and tested character developments to fit in with this hostile situation which is one thing, but the problem comes from we have three distinctive performance levels mixture between; good, okay, don't give up your day job and oh my god please tell me this isn't your day job? Because if it is you would be better flipping burgers at McDonald's then actually as a performer; just to give you some broad examples; if my daughter was this dumb I would want a DNA test for sure and there is 3 sniper characters that are embarrassing to call themselves snipers; because I am aware of the society we currently live in; in 2026 so I should point out that it fits the equality act really well; one Caucasian man, one African American man and one Caucasian woman trying to be a different nationality.

This film receives: 1/10, this film is poor; to be brutally honest if you are a fan of Roth... then by all means go and watch this film as the person that I watch some of this content with said and I agree with them; but if he wasn't in this film, they wouldn't have watched it, but other than Roth this film is pig's manure.

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/vehicle crashing/vehicle hit/drugs/medical

Back in the early1960s: we meet  Ben Aronoff [John Travolta:] he was buildings or something to that effect, but when that went tits-up he had to find something else which he did with was offshore powerboat racing; it came with a heavy price and this is his story.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script is okay for what it is, but with this narration/storyteller/exposition character developments from Ben/Travolta: this is functional and services purpose, but the time jumps are tedious as it most definitely feel like we are skimming a pebble over some water and on top of that we are visible circle singing as well, so it is very easy to become disinterested with this project as it comes across as there isn't much happening of great substance and when there is... like I said you are possibly disinterested, the pacing of the 102 minutes film is probably best described as mobile, not the most quickest, but hardly the most slowest either, it just gets on with the job really.

Art and action; I like the historical footage as it relates to the actual footage and obviously the action, the person and I that watch this particular content together; or not a fan of the hairpiece that Travolta had to wear, we were not also not a fan of the eyebrows; but on some research on how the person looked in reality; their hair on top of the head roughly looks how it was meant to look, but to be honest still; they should have spent more time making it look more authentic and for the eyebrows they can't do anything about them; meaning that is how it looked in real life, in one particular sequence when it is race day and it is heavily raining the green screen effects are very easy to pick up on and finally we get the standard criminal activities action sequences without giving too much away.

Character developments and performances; as this is based on real events, the character developments and performances are a solid reflection of what they are meant to be; if you have watched a lot of films in your time, you would have come across some occasions where how can I put this nicely; the main established name; Travolta very much keeping things going.

This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed; don't get me wrong I like the historical footage and like I said the character developments and likewise the performances are what they are, but even though this film is based on or loosely based on real-life events, layout of this film as in the framework and pacing; specifically the time jumps just didn't help things in the slightest and on top we get some voice-over in the ending credits of news reports. This film also has some awards accredited to it such as 2 which include but not limited to Cinequest San Jose Film Festival which include but not limited to;  Best Virtual Reality Film Virtual Reality Travis Cloyd Richard Rionda Del Castro Guy Griffithe

Average Extra of: VIOLENT NIGHT 2 Official Trailer (2026) David Harbour: My Reaction by AverageMansReviews

Related content: Violent Night 2022 Link https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2023/06/violent-night-2022-by-averagemansreviews.html

Warning: usually I put a descriptive list of what this in this case trailer broadly speaking as in it; but as it relates to this product, all I will say is; the content of this trailer [I should imagine the other trailers have a similar approach and flavour;] there is flashing effects/colourful effects, but more importantly though the contents of this trailer ranges from mature themes to adult themes throughout including but not limited to the potential insinuation or suggestion of cannibalism.

My reaction: I have just finished watching the 282 second trailer; in short Santa Claus [David Harbour:] because of previous events he has now been put on the naughty list, consequently stripped of his powers and now has to work in a mall.

Well if you thought the first instalment was bouncing off the wall chaos; you haven't seen anything yet; they have quite clearly turned up everything to fall volume and to make sure it can't be turned down, they have broken the volume switch; be it action with dark art with comedy mixed in; but based on this trailer; this film does feel like much more of a Christmas film than its predecessor; so it is going to be lots of fun to see how this sequel works out and this time the wife comes to town as well.

My prediction for this film is: 8/10, hopefully it can get something higher, I just like to give myself a little bit of wiggle room, so I don't look like a completed idiot if it backfires on, hopefully not; but you never know and this sequel hits cinemas 04/12/2026.

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/stabbing/transformation/drowning/squatting/terrorism/torture/disfigurement/medical

007 is imprisoned and tortured for information: briefly; James Bond 007/other character [Pierce Brosnan:] after a long time he is traded back to the UK in a trade deal with North Korea, he is now disavowed 00 Agent, which means he can now go and track down the traded individual and terminate their life, on this personal mission, he meets Jinks/other name [Halley Berry:] to begin with it is unknown what she knows, but she is going to be a very interesting person to work with

Generally speaking: art; it has to be said the opening sequence coinciding with the soundtrack with this James Bond sung by Madonna entitled "Die Another Day" is god awful and I mean the whole lot of it; it just screams out tacky and a hot steaming pile of garbage [Madonna has a role in this project as well as Verity: as a simply put a fencing instructor.] The storyline/script is; well it is difficult to say really, because the storyline/script as a isolated aspect may be something safe and reliable and consequently goodand in conjunction with possibly excellent character developments as we get to see Bond go outside of his usual character boundaries as they 007 Agent in theory; because in reality; it is a completely different story; from the aspect of the framework and pacing of this 133 minutes film, the character developments and by and large performances; don't actually help to bring this storyline/script to live in the slightest; but then again I have to see things as they are; not as I want them to be or in this case what they could have been and with that being said; yet again that entire lot of those aspects I have just mentioned; makes this film in a nutshell such a chore to get through.

Action and art; on both counts the biggest asset to this project by some distance is any kind of action sequence with a machine or a vehicle involved they could be anything from any thing coming out of the air or a chasing sequence in two vehicles in these icy surroundings and anything else in the middle or literally anything else; they look good.

Character developments, performances and comedy; the character developments are; well on both counts because in one way or another be it the character developments; being really straightforward, even with this big reveal type of angle when it comes around I am just so switched off by this point that I couldn't care less, then vast majority of these performances range from poor to going through the motions and the best following their character model/outlay, basically there are only three good character developments and performances and all of these characters work for MI6 in the form of M [Judi Dench:] she is the head of MI6, Q [John Cleese:] he is quartermaster and armourer, basically modern language that tech guy for MI6 and finally we have Miss Moneypenny [Samantha Bond:] she is M's secretary, she really likes Bond and for a good bit of comedy towards the end of the film she tries Q's tech, but for the rest of the film and indeed for the rest of the cast the chemistry may as well be announced dead on arrival, everyone else seems to be going through the motions but there is actual nothing there and for a film that goes on for as I have already indicated 133 minutes this can be quite painful watching.

This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed; to be brutally honest I have always found not only this film to be insufferably boring, but Brosnan as James Bond as on current listing of authentic Bond's to be the worst in history; but having said that if my memory is correct, I think I only like one of his titles as 007: GoldenEye 1995 as on a little bit of research it has a very strong cast built around him; such as Famke Janssen as Xenia Onatopp: she is a masochistic henchwoman that tries to kill Bond that never gets to finish her orgasm and yes she is a pilot to. But back to this film; it does have some awards accredited to its name; 6 Winners: Positives: which include but not limited to Image Awards (NAACP) 2003 mage Award Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture Halle Berry and 36 Nominees which also include but not limited to Golden Globes, USA 2003 Golden Globe Best Original Song - Motion Picture Madonna (music/lyrics) Mirwais Ahmadzaï (music) Song: "Die Another Day" and Negatives: which also include but not limited to Razzie Awards 2003 Winners Razzie Award Worst Supporting Actress Madonna and Nominee which also includes but not limited to The Stinkers Bad Movie Awards 2002 Stinker Award Worst Song or Song Performance in a Film or its End Credits Madonna

The People vs. The Gun Industry: briefly; after this tragic yet shooting situation Wendell Rohr [Dustin Hoffman:] he is a prosecutor for his client against these gun manufacturers, but they have their own ace in the hole in the form of Rankin Fitch [Gene Hackman:] he is like the US TV program Bull 2016-2022: 6 Seasons: 125 Episodes; where both this film and TV program you some kind of trial science; there is one massive difference; this TV program tries to do things for good and this film doesn't depending on your perspective; plus Rohr and his team gather their information slightly by more frowned upon methods anyway, so he is here to assist their attorney but there is an anomaly in the form of Nick Easter [John Cusack:] he works in a shop and he doesn't want to be on the jury, because he has a gaming event to get to, but on irritating the judge on stating this; he is selected to be on the jury.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script is good, but the framework and pacing of this 127 minutes film is slow and steady

Action; the action sequences are fit for purpose, so with that being said they are solidly good

Character developments, performances and voice performances; the character developments are likewise something good versions of what they are meant to be, but let's be completely honest with one another as this is a courtroom drama/backdrop it essentially relies on dialogue exchanges which obviously deal with everything or the vast majority of everything with a very serious tone, which is absolutely necessary for this subject matter, yes there may be some small bits of comedy in here now and again, but it is very much a cast of performance and just to finish off the voice performers is good as well  because I didn't realise it wasn't Hackman speaking all the time.]

This film receives: 5/10, this film is mixed; after everything is said and done, I have come to the conclusion that this mark is the right outcome for this film, don't get me wrong I like basically courtroom dramas, but as I have already alluded to at this point in 2003 or be it 2026 when this content was first created or/and beyond; talking about the American Second Amendment rights; is like a sign of madness; talking about something, fully knowing that you can talk about it as much as you like; but until there is actual drastic changes to the Second Amendment; these kind of things are going to happen time after time after time and so on. This movie does have some awards accredited to its name such as 1 Winner Il Festival Nazionale del Doppiaggio Voci nell'Ombra 2004 Film Award Best Character Actor Voice Sergio Fiorentini For the dubbing of Gene Hackman and 3 Nominees which includes but not limited to Golden Trailer Awards Golden Trailer Best Drama
