Review Time


Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/ stabbing/shooting/religion/assisted death/cutting/impaling/animal cruelty/medical. I will be discussing dark themes that may be uncomfortable for some; I want to make it crystal clear I am talking about it in the confines of the film and nothing more.

This film is mostly a hot steaming pile of garbage: we meet Robin Hood /another name [Hugh Jackman:] as he is now a much older man, after his latest battle he is dropped off to seek medical assistance that he does not want.

General speaking: someone pleased tell me that this script was written predominantly when they were sitting up on the toilet having a dump? because man it is awful, so basically without giving too much away obviously… this film focuses on the character development of character, but throughout history we mostly get to see him in his 30s roughly, but here he is possibly somewhere around 50s or early 60s, my point being is that historically in film or TV we don't know this version, we have nothing to go on here, so did we get any exposition character development or anything like mental imagery into the past?... absolutely not, so all we got given was references to It was all a liar and two old stories that we already know or nothing remotely interesting and so what Hood killed another character’s husband, I mean when this established in this film I was so passed actually caring that it makes it pointless and if you think I am being harsh it also gets established in just before a bit more than the final quarter of this movie to go. 

I mean for about 85% of this film which it does go on for roughly122 minutes not a lot really happens; basically we have the house burning and then we have Heading into the final quarter of this movie, other than that you may as well see this film for a large amount of it like playing a Sims video game with little tasks and so on and so forth, you see because the script doesn't actually have a lot going on the framework and pasting of this movie either individually altogether with the script feels really long and tiresome.

 Action and art; I only have really one action sequence I can discuss and it doesn't go on for too long either; it is someone comes for a pound of flesh and a mistake Hood for someone else, it really does set the standard for the other action sequences, but then you come to realize after watching that was the best. This film tries so hard to be engaging which on some levels it is; they really do try to make you feel immersed in the scenes/ sequences with captivating interpretations for example when Hood is badly hurt and we see things from his perspective or I think mental perspective as well, but I could be wrong about this common so this was in turn interesting character developments and a small asset to this title alongside the art as well, of course we also have the landscapes, set designs comma wardrobe and accessories all top quality.

Character development and performance; well with without everything I have set up to this point anyway these character types are the standard for this kind of movie outline, Which are a best formulaic and the worst I felt nothing for them which I am leaning heavy to the latter, I was just trying to give you two options which are possible. I know, I know this film is  set down in centuries past, but and before I continue no I am not religious, but then again I know that this topic within the UK is a hot topic…I just don't know how wise it was to have assisted suicide in this project going handed hand with someone/character of religious Christian beliefs, I am aware that assisted death/suicide is not against the Bible but it is looked by some as unfavorable and I am very much aware that assisted death is an option to some, I just put assisted death/ suicide to keep everyone happy as in whatever your opinion is I have covered it for you, other than that and just talking about in a film context and for the performance they do feel formulate As they are doing a solid job, I mean that is why it is important to fill in some of the 30-year age gap so we can identify with Hood in particular.

This film receives: 2/10,this film is poor; yes it may look Highly engaging from time to time, but other than that this film offers very little; stumbles throughout it's time frame

Digger 2026 by AverageMansReviews

Digger 2026 by AverageMansReviews

 


Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colorful effects/environmental component/animal cruelty/medical/ references to cancer and this film is full of mature to adult themes including dark themes/animal waste

Well this was certainly something: briefly; we meet Digger Rockwell/another character [Tom Cruise:] he is a business tycoon that deals with oil, he doesn't care about the consequences just results and this movie explores this mindset and those consequences 

Generally speaking: the storyline/script is thought provoking as it holds up a mirror to predominantly America  or any of a country that doesn't believe in actions have consequences and mother nature is coming to collect sooner rather than later, the  framework of this movie is fantastic, without giving too much away it switches focus broaden the world around us to give us a more immersive experience, but I hastened to add it is something not less important of equal importance and that you don't like to say about that really, but also in coinciding in this; you also have this really dark atmosphere throughout, I mean in conjunction with that we clearly have some dark comedy, I mean if you have ever watched any kind of Monty Pythons material such as the legendary Monty Python's Life of Brian 1979 In particular Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life: where in a nutshell we have Jesus singing this well-known song; I chose this as a reference because that is the kind of comedy style we are dealing with in this film but so much more Intensely darker and it doesn't have and off switch, they may do other things from time to time just to unsettle it's audience but it doesn't have an off switch, but at least there is always something to see and experience, so this film has excellent if bizarre pacing which this film does go on for roughly 129 minutes

Art, comedy and action; this film can also be very inviting visually based on its set designs and scenery designs also, but remember you will also see things that may or may not discuss you or be unpleasant viewing including but not limited to hearing broadly speaking and paraphrasing; How long has my cat got to live? Or mind your language because there may be women present [the joke being there are no women present in this room at this time and all of these male characters laugh at that fact]or a character that may have just died at the worst time possible when we are going through a military operation.

Character developments and performance; is character developments are precisely designed to be who they are and this cast all come together with in-depth performance as to bring these people to life; but Tom Cruise in this role should absolutely be nominated for an Oscar; completely embodies this character is outrageous appearance in front of all of these people where he literally verbally hands them they posterior on a silver platter is stuff of a modern cinema classic moment.

Supporting role Oscar nominee it should be Riz Ahmed as Dr. Nirav Ganesh/ another character: a scientist and Digger's head of Environmental Safety: he really does try to tell digger how things are actually going and how things are actually, but as you can tell by now this particular job is actually really hard work; this is a masterful performance being able to Comfortably hang with Cruise and Goodman on screen should the absolutely indicate what kind of performance Ahmed puts in here and in another supporting role capacity we have John Goodman as Compson, the President of the United States: he does have health concerns and he wants this problem resolved; Goodman puts in this spectacular performance as he as is with the other two in his bedroom as he discovers that things were not going that well he goes on a serious yet highly amusing rant.

This film receives: 10/10, this film is top-notch entertainment; now I am fully aware that this film has had at least some people walk out, on top of that it isn't doing brilliant at the box office, in fact it is doing dreadfully and it will end up with a financial loss, but if it could get some more positive awards accredited to its name in one way or another, such as at minimum nominees for 3 Oscars, I would gladly take that as a win, because this film is an art and social commentary piece and it has an ongoing sequence underneath some of the closing credits. this film also has 1 Nominee Astra Midseason Movie Awards 2026 Astra Midseason Award Most Anticipated Film

Les Misérables 2012 by AverageMansReviews

 Les Misérables 2012 by AverageMansReviews

Rated content: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street 2007 Link https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2026/10/sweeney-todd-demon-barber-of-fleet.html


Review Time

Warning: there is flattering effects/colourful effects/shooting/stabbing/suicide/bodily waste/medical

In France 1815: briefly; we meet Jean Valjean/other names [Hugh Jackman:] he is better known as Prison 24601 on his release after serving 19 years, the lead warden at the time Javert [Russell Crow:] Without question have these strong feeling he will see him again whenever he decides to screw up, he will be there to catch him

Generally speaking: the storyline/ script Is ok, but one of the biggest problems that this film has is…Yes absolutely it does follow the standard musical outlay of storyline going back and forth with musical numbers which is in itself likewise absolutely fine, but The framework and pasting of this roughly speaking 157 minutes film is just too long on every single level; at every single minute you can't forget that this movie is a long drawn out affair and boy howdy with or without the time jumps everything all pretty much everything became such an arduous task, which also will affect the potentially enjoyment of musical numbers as well; art; It's like at the beginning broadly speaking you will say that was good, obviously depending on who is singing in them and who with, but eventually most parts you'll be like can we just get through this please, later on in this content I will make reference to who is actually  good at sing and who is not and who is okay. But visually minus the green screen effects in the background, they did a fantastic job of bringing this world to life; be it set designs or costumes or anything else, they went with top quality approach.

Action and art; the best action sequence is  very near to beginning of the movie where he is instructed to pick up this part of a ship and carry it, this civil conflict sequences of good as well

Character developments, performances and comedy; the character developments are good versions of what they are meant to be, but for me the whole, the performances are broadly hit and miss for them at minimum okay, Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean; this perfect and leads this cast with masterful performance and the same can be said for Anne Hathaway as Fantine [in a supporting role:] she is someone that needs Valjean to on the task for her, as will be unable. Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen as the Thénardiers: these two characters will do anything to make money, including selling a child; it was a wonderful surprise to have these two working off one another, as they have excellent chemistry for singing and comedic timing [they previously worked on Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street 2007.] Russell Crowe as Javert: acting performance in this movie is good, but how can I put this nicely… singing is not his forteas I have seen many musicals in one way or another live or in a recording, but I have never seen a person sing in their mouth, don't give me wrong I have seen bad singing, but no one sing in the mouth before or until this film. what I mean is in theory when someone sings it; It usually gets pushed out of the mouth, but in this case, he seems to have forgotten that part and consequently it sounds like he is sucking in the words and just talking things them; it is a very odd experience and off putting one as well.

This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed; as I have made it abundantly clear at this point, I found this film to be insufferably boring, yes it does have some positives to it, but that is about it.  this film has quite a few awards accredited to its name such as 85 Winners which include but not limited to; Academy Awards, USA 2013 Oscar Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role Anne Hathaway, Best Achievement in Makeup and Hairstyling Lisa Westcott Julie Dartnell and finally Best Achievement in Sound Mixing Andy Nelson Mark Paterson Simon Hayes. 177 Nominees Also include but not limited to returning to this ceremony/event Best Motion Picture of the Year Tim Bevan Eric Fellner Debra Hayward Cameron Mackintosh, Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role Hugh Jackman,  Best Achievement in Costume Design Paco Delgado [altogether this movie has 5 Nominations to its name.]

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colorful effects /shooting /transformation /animal cruelty/slavery/electrician/torture/medical

Wow this was not worth waiting for: briefly; Ken Masters [Noah Centineo:] in 1993 he has very much became a washed up celebrity Martial artist, meanwhile, Ryu/Dark Ryu [Andrew Koji:] has put himself essentially in exile, but M. Bison [David Dastmalchian:] decides to put on another tournament for the name of World Warrior to bring its defending champion out from hiding; Ryu

Generally speaking : the art, exposition character developments, storyline,  script and character developments; anime throughout does so much of the heavy lifting for this project even though on one hand it is perfection, whilst simultaneously on the other hand pointing out that this film has many problems ; such as I am not a fan of the script and its tone sometimes to time;  frankly it is  beyond terrible  as you will see throughout this content ; the person I would some of this content with did wonder when this film was going to end and they found it insufferable; But for me, I found it A very substandard and crude exercise in; Look we have in selection of characters we want to focus on and if we have any other time we will fit in the rest, and to put this kindly if you have a vagina in this film you will get some substance in this movie; but mostly you are there for soft masturbating material and/or do make us dribble, And how could I forget making one of yours established and long-term female characters essentially another character's wet Dream,  which can be shown when  he can't wait to get kicked by her for a good reason, but he turns,  into something very sexual which in turn devalues her, so smart move…  Not! and incidentally  hell who the hell thought it was a good idea to use; “Who Let The Dogs Out” Released by Baha Men in 2000 and your movie is predominantly in 1993 and just for the record I haven't checked the soundtrack to This movie, it is just obviously it is out of its time frame and on top of that you have to pick one of the worst songs from the 2000’s yet again devalues in this case Ken, so as you can probably tell I did not find this 120 minutes film the most easiest to watch as there was different tones and many things happening, but not the greatest substance in some cases 

 

Art, action, character development and comedy; the martial arts and different fighting with styles For involve majority of the time are positives; but as soon as you meaning them bringing any form of slow motion effects, my brain automatically zones out, we have Ryu and Ken reuniting and let's just say isn't going to well, with Ken trying to hit Ryu with difficulty, on reflection this feels like the only time that the comedy feels authentically natural and consequently conical.

 

Character development, performances and voice performance; as I referenced earlier this film  clearly wants to focus on Ryu, Ken and their family dynamics and storyline, which is cool,  but everything else outside this gets treated as something less and less and less and so on, Which also conveniently reflects on the performance is as well, The point where he may have well re-cast the cast, because they are either very low qualities of what they should be/or just don't fit in; like David Dastmalchian as M. Bison; No thanks, I just can't take him seriously throughout this film,  at no point does he actually come off as genuinely threatening or  intently intelligently psychotic, I am looking for something layered and it just isn't there. Joe "Roman Reigns" Anoa'i as Akuma/another name; this individual is connected to the Ryu and Ken; Even though he is connected, he has the voice  performance down and does really good work, when he is on-screen, some of the magic fades as he needs to grow into the role, so on the whole I would say he does well 

 

This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed;  after a small moment thinking about it I said to myself;  if I give this mark I would make it knowledge that the anime is a contributing factor to why it didn't end up in the poor section of my marketing system and yes absolutely if there was any justice in the world, should at minimum receive some  positive award nominees for this art and yes there is an extra credit after the first closing credits

In-depth Predictions/Other elements for AEW WrestleDream 2026 by AverageMansReviews

In-depth Predictions/Other elements for AEW WrestleDream 2026 by AverageMansReviews

The Don Callis Family's: Mark Davis [with Don Callis] vs. Champ the Death Riders': Jon Moxley [with Marina Shafir;] Singles Match for the AEW Continental Championship: hopefully Moxley can get back to winning ways here

 

Tommaso Ciampa vs. Champ  Andrade El Idolo; Singles Match for the AEW International Championship: this has every potential to be the match of the night so let's hope it can deliver 

 

The Don Callis Family's: Kevin Knight & Kyle Fletcher [with Don Callis] vs. Champs The Young Bucks': Matt & Nick Jackson; Tag Team Match for the AEW World Tag Team Championship: I just don't see these championships moving from their current handlers right now and possibly not until the new year at the earliest 

 

Dani Luna vs. Hyan vs. Queen Aminata vs. the CMLL World Women's Champion/Champ Persephone [with Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D;] Four-Way Match for the AEW TBS Championship: I don't see her losing with obviously the assist from doctor, so this  slot feels like a good match, but more of a storyline going somewhere, I don't know where, but storyline nonetheless

Chris Jericho vs. Nick Wayne; Singles Match: why can I see at some point down the line a Match vs. Career type of situation occurring coming aware if Jericho loses he can no longer wrestle things going on

Triangle of Madness': Thekla vs. Mercedes Moné ; Singles Match the AEW Women's World Championship: this may indeed go down with some of you as well as Led Balloon, but at this precise moment, she is Just on a completely different level, see is very quickly becoming the female equivalent of John Moxley in this promotion and if TK doesn't take this opportunity to back her in a career defining match within this promotion, my question would be when are you going to pull the trigger and realize you can have more than two established names in one division 

 

"Hangman" Adam Page and Brodido's: Brody King & the ROH World Champion Bandido vs. Champs Swerve Strickland and The New Level's: Austin Creed & Kofi [with Prince Nana;] Two of Three Falls Match; Trios Match for the AEW World Trios Championship: Simply put everyone knows that this match is going to be yet again hard hitting, but I don't see the gold changing hands 

 

Samoa Joe vs. "Speedball" Mike Bailey vs. Adam Copeland vs. Konosuke Takeshita vs. the AEW International Champion Kazuchika Okada vs. Ricochet vs. the AEW TNT Champion. Darby Allin vs. Champ Will Ospreay; Clockwork Carnage Match for the AEW World Championship: I have no doubt that this much like its predecessor on the card will be an absolute banger, but likewise I just can't see the championship changing hands here

Average Extra of: Baywatch 2027: My reaction  by AverageMansReviews

My reaction: I watched 183 seconds trailer and they have gotten everything right for this to be in theory the modern version of the legendary 1989-1999: yes we still have some cheese to this show, but then again without it; it seemingly has  a good story arc for the series and what with Stephen Amell as Hobie Buchanan: It stands the show in good stead, I should just clarify that I have reasonable  hopes for this TV program, like a 6 or 7/10 or higher, I really do believe that sometimes we need some harmless escapism TV programming viewing and hopefully this can provide that I should just say good luck to everybody involved in making this TV show

Average Extra of: Shane Gills' Monologue on SNL US 10/10/2026 by AverageMansReviews

Average Extra of: Shane Gills' Monologue on SNL US 10/10/2026 by AverageMansReviews

Warning: there will be a lot of adult material in this content including but not limited to adult centred language

I don't know where to start: yet again, women keep showing that time after time the standard of broadly speaking is very much circling the toilet bowl, because in this year alone broadly speaking again; they have had 3 occasions to be seen as equal but instead show us that they live in a fantasy world, where normal rules do not apply to them or they just make them up as they go along and if you have no idea what I am referring to let’s take a look shall we; 1. The Lindsey Clancy trial where you basically said I stand with Lindsey Clancy even though she murdered her three children and not only that you raised $1 million for her. 2. Ghosting is now apparently deemed as sexual assault [now to some may come as news; about two weeks ago, I saw this in the middle on social media put out there that; if a man ghosts you after having sex in their mind that is sexual assault and unfortunately this is starting to gather more speed online, yes with some women also indicating that broadly speaking this is not sexual assault and even from my perspective this is not sexual assault.] 3. Shane Gills' Monologue on SNL US 10/10/2026: where the controversy revolves around him indicating that when women go to the gym they look like w***es. Yes I know there are other things I can put in this list as well, but to be honest I can't keep up with all the outrage, it literally changes in a two-day cycle Or less than the one-day cycle or every 15 minutes cycle and quite frankly I have better things to do live my life than to try and keep up with the mood swings of women.

I hate to tell you, he or/and SNL US did absolutely nothing wrong here; it was an observation reference and the problem is... deep down you know and everyone else knows that in what he said there was no lies detected, on one hand; some of you say; I can wear what I want, it is my body, my choice and no one should come up and either talk to me or flirt with me, I want to go to the gym and work out, meanwhile on the other hand; some of you are like; why didn't he come up and speak to me, I look great, nice and tight in my outfit, so why not be a man and come up to me and talk to me, meanwhile on another hand you are trying to catch a man looking at you to post on social media, whilst on another hand you are making adult content to sell subscriptions and finally on another hand you are crying on social media, because you have come to realise that men will not come anywhere near you and you are now lonely.

Yes I don't go to the gym, but however all of this still applies to me because I am a man and as I have referenced once in a while when it is appropriate, because I am in a wheelchair for all intents and purposes I am an easy target, so you will see me now and again keeping my head down or like today deliberately going the long way round a location to keep away from two individuals that were wanting engagement, because I had already slightly crossed paths with them and as every good man will tell you; I will take the long route to avoid any potential hassle or/and any potential of a potential possibility of an escalated situation where I end up looking the bad guy for doing absolutely nothing wrong.

But don't you or the good selection of you get it yet, that this is the consequences of you broadly telling us to stay away from you or including making up some false allegations in one way or another or telling us that you are not in my league so why bother or being fully aware that you know you can say whatever you like and the vast majority of you will believe her or you could play the victim card or you could just get out your mobile and record us, or if we don't fulfil your list of demands; your long, long, so long list of demands we are out the door.

But here is the most fudgin' moronic thing I have ever seen in my life... and I have seen Donald Trump as President of the United States of America not once but twice, as a sign of response/rebellion many women making content with either less clothing on at the gym or revealing more or wearing clothing which is struggling.

I would love to put my opinions in a stronger framing but I can't due to I have to be somewhat professional, but I can say this; I just have one question; so is it a timeshare kind of deal you all have with one working brain cell?... Come on you can be honest with me I have brain-damaged so I would understand.

Because I will tell you now whatever you think you are proving... you're not. In fact without question and 100% certainty you were just proving Gills' prospective, so in essence all you have done is gotten together and said; we will show him... we will do more content with a minimum more revealing... that will show him.. right women?!... Yes! The uncomfortable reality is you want everything on your terms and whenever you fancy like changing those terms men or/and predominantly men have got to get in order with, I mean this modern culture and generations of women wouldn't be this twisted or/and vindictive if we gave a woman £10/$10 every time we looked at them, you know I'm being extreme, but you also know there is possibly a ring of truth to what I'm saying, it's funny that the idea of money being a financial incentive would stop so much friction or/and anything other, which is another sad indictment of the vast majority of women today, tomorrow and the next generations.

But to me it shows much more, yet again you have proven that you never wanted equality, because if you did, you would take accountability/responsibility for your actions and not be immature children by essentially going we will reveal more, on top of this the only winners out of this situation are SNL US, because in the world of media of any kind especially in this modern world of technology they love engagement of any kind and someone from Gills' management or Gills himself is sitting there going; Thanks for selling out my next tour or two if I am really lucky.

What you should have done is say very little or nothing, I am not saying for you to be quiet, I'm just saying if you wanted a small W meaning win, you put out a small message saying something to the effect of: I see Gills is being class as usual on SNL and say nothing else, by cutting off the engagement and giving the illusion of it doesn't bother me, you take back the control of the narrative and the engagement; you take away the engagement you win or because I am from the old school of the alternative way of life, I would have created some content where I would have purchased an ordinary T-shirt and his face printed on it and spent the next month working out in it and by the end of the month in the bin; with the caption underneath on the content; saying that is how I deal with loudmouth motherfudgers.

Finally for any comedian or anyone that has a comedic job or career criticising this; yes you have your right to criticise, but you should also be aware that you know as well as I do being an artist is subjective and this applies to being a comedian also, I am not defending him even though there was nothing wrong said here, I am just finishing this content on the idea and notion that being deeply offended on a comment, that as I have already indicated criticises a section of society absolutely, but doesn't wish them harm or death or religious intent or rainbow community implications or any other hot topic, by definition would be a step in the wrong direction to kill this art form and to leave this content on a mic drop moment... do you have that Second Amendment right... Oh yes does it state; Freedom of Speech... or is there a stipulation to that nowadays?...
