Warning: there is going to be some censored adult language and references

Okay what is this manure?!: I mean didn't see as it relates to the related content section I already had my reservations about the project anyway, but this new development is so bad that as you can see it get to do their own content.

Jared Leto as Keldor/Skeletor; he doesn't actually sound anything like how Keldor/Skeletor it sound like in the slightest to point where I am now questioning why was Leto cast as this legendary and infamous character? Because his voice is all wrong and if you are expecting his legendary cackle? Obviously I haven't seen this film yet, but I will be surprised if he can pull it off and the person I watch some of this content with; they point out something I should have known better; that they may and now reflection probably using some kind of voice modulator, which let's go with this is the case... how did they still get it so wrong

On a quick side note if they are going to bring the Horde into it does that mean we are now going to get Hordak possibly in the future sequel? More importantly are we going to get what we have always wanted Princess Adora/She-Ra: if you don't know in a nutshell this is Prince Adam/He-Man's kidnapped twin sister; which has her own highly developed an interesting part in the Masters of the Universe landscape.

But I digress; I put these latest developments as it relates to Keldor/Skeletor in the same league as Inspector Gadget 1999; I am referring to Sanford Scolex/Dr. Claw: for those generations outside of the legendary 1983-1985; 2 Seasons; 86 Episodes; 1 Christmas special; Inspector Gadget Saves Christmas 1992 which I am now learning about this which also signified the end of the TV program: other than the Inspector Gadget 1999 film being dog manure; it does something truly and epically unforgivable; it gives the identity of Dr. Claw away which the whole concept of Dr. Claw is you never, ever, never, ever see his identity other than his arm/hand and his voice; which makes him a truly dark and evil individual which really does bounce out the positive good-natured comedy but goofiness of this TV program; so it really works and just for the record I haven't seen this film for years, but I am pretty sure they give the identity of Dr. Claw away I am going to give myself a window of the first 15 minutes or less; which as you can imagine as a child from the 1980s I was absolutely furious with the turn of events it completely undermines the film and mentally scars any child from the 1980s that watches this movie.

So I am really not hopeful on Leto as Keldor/Skeletor; let's just say I was willing to give it a chance, but that window is getting smaller and smaller.

Review Time

Warning: there will be flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/rainbow community element/white supremacy and swastika element/electrocution/body part/animal cruelty/bodily functions/vehicle crash/vehicle hit/burning/drugs/mental disability element/medical/reference to pregnancy

From this casino to Silver City New Mexico: briefly; this casino owner Donald P. Sinclair [John Cleese:] this eccentric billionaire and mastermind of this concept/race for $2 million the winner; so this billionaire and his friends can make bets on the outcome; here are just some of the lucky competitors; Owen Templeton [Cuba Gooding Jr.:] he is a disgrace NFL referee and then we have Vera Baker [Whoopi Goldberg:] she has very recently met up with her daughter that many years ago she gave up for adoption and her daughter; Merrill Jennings [Lanai Chapman:] she is a highly strung businesswoman anger issues, and then we have the Cody Brothers; Duane and Blaine [Seth Green and Vince Vieluf:] they try to be a couple of con artists; one predominantly tries to be the brains of the operation whilst the other has a newly pierced tongue which affects the speech.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script is something safe and reliable for these types of comedy/adventure/sports film titles that sticks to the outlay of going from one place to another; it is all about predominantly how we get from one place to another; but having said all this positivity; the film itself does take a long time to actually take the handbrake off; I mean this film begins okay and then for some reason it just goes on to the loll for a while and then springs into life, so I would suggest either somewhere around the halfway stage of this movie everything comes to life; this movie goes on for 112 minutes.

Comedy, action and art; straight off the bat there is at some point dark comedy references; involving white supremacy and let's just say anything associated with that; we have Templeton being dropped off in the desert because of his previous job, the Cody Brother chasing down their property involving an individual in a vehicle, also involving a hot air balloon; this hot air balloon in the excellent bit of art and also involving this cow; later on we have this biological mother and daughter deciding to hijack this vehicle designed to break the speed record, so we have this classic piece of comedy were obviously moving at a high speed; their faces up on to be squashed up against the front of this shuttle design.

Character developments and performances; on both counts they are reliable versions of what they are meant to be; of people with very different backgrounds such as for an example a character suffering from narcolepsy and the performances are good reflection of this character types with excellent chemistry throughout the cast.

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; after everything is said and done this is a fair reflection, if the beginning wasn't so slow by comparison to when it is really lively, I really would have given this film an extra mark, but as things are; this mark is as I have already said a fair reflection and there is an ongoing sequence underneath some closing credits; this film also has some awards accredited to its name such as 3 Nominees; Positive: Taurus World Stunt Awards 2002 Taurus Award Best Aerial Work Glenn J. Smith Helicopter chases Ford Truck at nearly ground level weaving through cars and heavy traffic. Negatives: The Stinkers Bad Movie Awards 2001 Stinker Award Worst Supporting Actress Whoopi Goldberg Shared with: Monkeybone and Worst Supporting Actor Cuba Gooding Jr.

Average Extra of: Minions & Monsters | Official Trailer: My Reaction by AverageMansReviews

Average Extra of: Minions & Monsters | Official Trailer: My Reaction by AverageMansReviews

Warning: there is going to be some censored adult language and references

My reaction: this content is based on the 129 seconds trailer; this franchise is really beginning to look old; the storyline/script is not the best as concepts go, so without giving too much away; the Minions are working on a movie set, someone comes up with the idea of making a monster movie, but they want to do it with real monsters, so they find someone that points them in the right direction.

So we couldn't have the Minions doing their interpretation of Around The World In 80 Days or some other well-known story, because this particular storyline/script really doesn't do much for me.

The really fudgin' sad thing about this franchise and this instalment in particular is... you can see and yes this may be just a little bit of speculation on my part, but you can see they are trying to just sell a new line of merchandise with the characters.

Don't get me wrong; the mummy skit scene is amusing as they have pasted around going to the bathroom, so you have that kind of authentic comedy approach with your audience identifying with this, but for the rest of it; it just feels like the same old stuff just with a brand-new lick of paint [meaning up-to-date computer animation.]

I have tried to look up the budget for this instalment but as of now I can't find it; so I will be guessing here; if the budget was around $150 million which on a little bit of research is a fair conclusion based on the last instalment was somewhere between $80-$100 million: Minions: The Rise of Gru 2022; at the box office it made $940 million; but I should point out in this film you do have Steve Corell reprising his role as Younger Gru; so as his iconic character I can still see that being a financial draw, but I am not so sure without him. I do fully expect this instalment to make it comfortable profit margin, I am just trying to suggest that this one may end up the weakest out of the spin-off Minions trilogy which this instalment will make it a trilogy of projects.

My prediction for this film: 5/10: obviously this will make money, I am more focused on where do we go from here? I am just not feeling this instalment, I don't like talking manure about a film, unless it is necessary; I just feel like they are pushing their luck with this script a bit of what I can tell obviously.

Man of Tai Chi 2013 by AverageMansReviews

 Man of Tai Chi 2013 by AverageMansReviews


Review Time

Warning: there will be flashing effects/colourful effects/breaking/shooting: this is one of those rare occasions where I should give you a little bit more background on this film especially those like myself of a dyslexic nature or/and harder of reading whatever reason behind that is; that if I had to estimate 88% of this project is subtitled and to be honest and facial these subtitled are of white text and yes they will clash with anything underneath them consistently throughout this movie, so it is very much a case of I kind of got the gist of this movie, but that was about it really so at minimum or hopefully I will be at worse in the right ballpark just in case I get anything wrong in this content.

I need a new fighter: briefly; we meet Donaka Mark [one of the Producers & the Director of this movie: Keanu Reeves:] as he has recently dispatched of his champion for not doing as he is told; you see Mark is the owner and runner of this underground fighting/online viewing empire, so whilst watching this Martial Arts tournament through his spotters and also content creators; they come across this highly demanded individual; his name is Tiger Chen Linhu [Tiger Chen:] his style is Tai Chi; but even his sensei saw broadly speaking much anger in him and he is also a delivery driver as well.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing 105 minutes film is I would say okay; based on what I have already made one clear in this content already.

Action, art and character developments; well if you have been around long enough; you would know that foreign Martial Arts film projects are simultaneously hard-hitting, quick-paced but also shot from time to time throughout the movie in question; to have an element of beauty to them; the recurring component of this point would be when Chen goes to spend training with his sensei as it also incorporates martial arts has a emotional component as well as the physical which is on its own merit very smooth and very natural as to also incorporates martial arts is also an extension of the individual in question as well.

Character developments and performances; away from what I have just been discussing; of what I can understand broadly speaking is they were/are on both counts good solid versions of what they were meant to be.

This film receives: 5/10, this film is mixed; on reflection I decided to go with this mark, because anything less would most definitely be too harsh, but also I have to take into consideration my viewing experience based on how things are, so on the side of things this mark also seems a reasonable outcome and there is an ongoing sequence underneath the closing credits.

Review Time

Warning: there will be flashing effects/colourful effects/racism/white supremacy/transformation/shooting/impaling/stabbing/feeling/bodily functions/disfigurement/biting/ritual/religion/burning/medical and there will be some censored adult language references in this content for sure and I will even when you a courtesy to say there was other soft nature may want to stop reading this content here, because by and large it is not going to be pleasant reading.

What was all the hype about?: Briefly; this set of twin brothers have come back home after World War I the Smokestack Twins; Elijah "Smoke" Moore/Elias "Stack" Moore [dual role; Michael B. Jordan:] they purchase this barn and turn it into a black the only establishment; unfortunately on the night of this establishment opening, they have some unwanted bloodsuckers.

Generally speaking: I have been doing this long enough now to have earned my stripes to say... I really don't think highly of this film whatsoever and I will lead you on in my opinion is to why in one way or another this project has so many awards accredited to its name.

The storyline/script is awful, actually it may as well be recycled for toilet paper; because for the first 57 minutes nothing of great substance happens, other than some exposition character developments brought to life with broadly speaking engaging art, but other than that we have for this timeframe in history the substandard Caucasian white folk and the black community being on very different levels of let's just say what and who is acceptable and who isn't, which I get all of this so everyone with me so far?... Then we get some life into this film may be 10 to 15 minutes roughly and then for the rest of the time it is about vampires, then white supremacy, which I have to be honest in the later stages of this film my eye began to twitch with furious anger, because on one hand we have the serious nature of white supremacy vs. black community; which is a heavy topic on its own and rightly so, whilst on the other hand this film suggests quite directly I hasten to add this can all be resolved; if we are all of one mind meaning turning into vampires.

So let me get this right this film takes predominately racism but the concept of everyone being different in the whole entire world from the inception of humankind and the answer is to... turn everyone into a vampire? Do you know how absolutely usually 99% of the time I would not allow even censored adult language references into my film content, but this is one of those rare occasions that it is perfectly acceptable to do so but I digress.... do you know how absolutely fudgin' stupid that actually is? Well clearly not because not only was this film made it actually won or/and got so many positive awards accredited to its name.

The framework and pacing of this 138 minutes is as I have already referenced 57 minutes of pretty much nothing happening followed by a good pacing of absolutely nonsense.

Art and action; visually and/or sounds wise; it does have its sequence of best describe as the evolution of black music and also music from the vampires in their sequence as well; as you can imagine with vampire movies this to is also graphic; these sequences have plenty of highly imaginative and creative visions and sequences, in the final stages of the film one of our brothers go on a rampage at one point using this old-fashioned machine gun; this is good fun.

Character developments and performances; on both counts they are all good; there is good chemistry throughout this cast.

This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed; after everything is said and done I am not the mindset this is a fair representation of this film; now yet again this is where in this content either get really uncomfortable for some or let's be honest trigger most people.

Like I referenced earlier I would bring up the awards again; so let's begin on a very uncomfortable question; that uncomfortable question being as follows; if this film was backed by all a predominately Caucasian cast but with the outcome of this movie being the same would this movie be as critically acclaimed as it is? Now we don't know the outcome as a fact, but however what I can do is hypothetically suggest a quite clear hell no.

Because of clear-cut reasoning being; Hollywood by and large the wind blows in Hollywood in many different directions; case and point does anyone remember Hollywood going through that woke phase, then they went through that phase of body positivity regardless if you are morbidly obese and encouraging others to follow, now we are going through the reversing of body positivity with as ozempic/other medication or/and everyone complaining throughout the years of there not being enough diversity at the Oscars in particular and low and behold this film ticks all the boxes, regardless if the film is actually any good or not that is almost irrelevant, now calm down I am not saying that they shouldn't have won some of these awards, but on seeing this movie now let's just say I can clearly smells and see some virtual signalling could have easily taken place here, especially exploiting the incident with John Davison at the BAFTA 2025 and yes there is ongoing extra scenes throughout the closing credits.

This film has so many awards accredited to its name such as 328 Winners which includes but not limited to Academy Awards, USA Oscar Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role Michael B. Jordan and Best Achievement in Cinematography Autumn Durald Arkapaw [altogether this film wins 4 Oscars] and 491 nominees would also includes but not limited to continuing at this award ceremony/event Best Casting Francine Maisler and Best Achievement in Directing Ryan Coogler

Average Extra Special of: PSG vs. Arsenal Champions League 2026 Final: My Reaction by AverageMansReviews

Average Extra Special of: PSG vs. Arsenal Champions League 2026 Final: My Reaction by AverageMansReviews

Warning: there is going to be some censored adult language and references

Justice has been served: full disclosure I missed the first half; because I was at the ballet watching Gentleman Jack; yes just for the record I am somewhat cultured.

So let's begin on a question; how did those 4 potential trophies work out for you? You know we had about three or four months of you going on about winning all 4 trophies; broadly speaking; League Cup; No, let's try again FA Cup; No, let's try once more Champions League; No... Premier League; Yes: only because you were literally handed it by the PGMOL as you were the highest beneficiaries of VAR be it decisions rightly or wrongly this season and surprise surprise having no red cards or/and penalties awarded against you this past season either and just for the record the penalty claim for Arsenal: the Noni Madueke incident, and was never a penalty, even though in the premiership as long as it was for Arsenal it would have been given for sure.

Just to make you aware; Tottenham Hotspur has won in Europe in more recent times; Europa League 2025, I mean even West Ham have won the trophy in Europe; Conference League 2023 or/and Crystal Palace has had more success in Europe then you Europa League 2026, I mean even outside of your region of London Aston Villa has had more success than you guys; winning the Europa League 2025/2026.

I couldn't be more happier for these teams; they work hard, they played football and stayed humble; or before I have another football team thrown in my face that didn't stay humble let's go with try and stay humble shall we? Now if the Arsenal community are wondering why the football world doesn't like us that much? It is because for the vast majority of the time you work hard at essentially bending the rules, but then again after what I have seen tonight, maybe just maybe you know something that we have just all seen and that is... you aren't actually good at playing football, consequently if you were to actually play football in the premiership; a solid and higher ups such as Brentford, Bournemouth and even when they were in the premiership West Ham could get amongst you and cause you problems, I mean there are certain expressions in football like playing dirty, but Arsenal have taken that style to a whole different new lower level.

I mean even now I am dictating this content; I am already beginning to see/hear content of; we still won the premiership, we are still pleased with the guys and tomorrow will still be a celebration as they are having a parade to celebrate Arsenal winning the premiership, including some bits and pieces online about some of the Arsenal community; including but not limited to a Arsenal fan trying to imply, but not imply it, but as they contributing factor of the weather and it being really hard; so they would have used more energy up; can I just say this is fudgin' pathetic and now getting a little bit testy towards other football fans as it relates to commiserations and I am referring to talkSPORT: between  Perry Groves, Jason Cundy and Gabby Agbonlahor; so I just have to say a big thank you to Eberechi Eze and Gabriel for missing those penalties, ensuring the Champions League cup goes home with the defending champions PSG a real football team and if I have made myself clear allowing it to be crystal clear I couldn't be more fudgin' delighted with this turn of events.

I hope Thomas Tuchel - England Manager is re-thinking about making Eze one of his 5 penalty takers in the future after that dog manure penalties and for Gabriel as someone else pointed out as well; it seems poetic justice that he would miss the penalty that would give Arsenal over these modern times a European cup; considering we have had to put up with his antics all season, without somehow getting sent off; yes towards the end of this last season I did briefly have him in my dream team for the points; but I don't regard him as a world-class defender hell I wouldn't class him as a good defender, just extremely lucky and a liability, which as he gets older will catch up to him eventually
