Deep Blue Sea 1999 by AverageMansReviews

Deep Blue Sea 1999 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this title is good

Fundamental elements: there is background music, slow-motion effects, cultural elements, voice-over elements, no subtitles when another language is being used, time jumps and place jumps.

Action sequences: there are weapons being used and generally speaking the action sequences are entertaining. I don't want to talk about them too much, simply because it is very clear that there has been imagination used in them like for one example the chopper or medical helicopter sequence, where you think that was short, but it continues and does something else [that is all I am going to say.]

Character developments/Performances: on both counts they are something safe and reliable. I don't know what else to say really, this shouldn't be seen as a down side, but they are what they are nonetheless.

This film receives: 6/10, there are some tiny comedy elements and including now and again the viewers get to see things from the sharks perspective, so this mark is right for this project, it is one of those films where you could get a takeaway out and watch it and be entertained by it, whilst eating your takeaway.

Phone Booth 2002/2003 by AverageMansReviews

Phone Booth 2002/2003 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this film is good

Fundamental elements: there is singing, background music, cultural elements, slow-motion effects, quick moving effects, no subtitles when another language is being used, voice-over elements, place jumps and time jumps.

Storyline: this is good, it is just I can't tell you too much about it, this is just one of those situations where when or if you come to sit down and watch this title, you will understand why I can't say too much about it, but maybe I can say this a lot of it takes place inside a Phone Booth and that is it. Now for those people that are of a young age, these locations and this technology were around before mobile devices and were design to make telephone calls.

Action sequences: there are weapons being used and combat elements.

Character developments/Performances: on both counts these elements are good or solid, the triangle between the three main characters/performers [Farrel, Sutherland and Whitaker] keeps this film going at a good pace and their dialogue exchanges, be it individually or in different pairings or the triangle, well it is always interesting to hear what is being said by person or by telephone, as in this situation is hostile with a volatile nature in the air, but it can be sometimes funny [mature contents.]

This film receives: 7/10, if you haven't seen this film and you are looking for something a little bit different; as I have already said this film mostly takes place in a Phone Booth minus some scenes at the beginning and at the end, then give this film a go.

The One 2001 by AverageMansReviews

The One 2001 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this film is poor.

Fundamental elements: there are voice-over elements, words on screen, background music, slow-motion effects, quick moving effects, time jumps and place jumps.

Well I was so bored with this title; I don't know where to begin really. This is one of those titles where the more I watched it the more generally speaking I became disinterested in it [don't get me wrong there are some good elements worth talking about but I will discuss them later.] The fundamental elements and the movement of this project just didn't do anything for me individually or together.

Action sequences: there are weapons being used, chasing sequences, training sequences and combat elements. Now there are some occasions where it does show some imagination, such as without giving too much away the entire police motorbikes sequence, that involves a police motorbikes sandwich, the handcuffs sequence and the mirror match one-on-one sequence and the transport science-fiction elements including the weapon and handheld devices such as this bomb or and this device that says when something is about to open, these elements deserve to be on the positive side of things they are something solid.

Character developments/Performances: there are three sets of this husband-and-wife, the set that goes for this brain scan [the husband goes for the brain scan,] there are elements of chemistry in this pairing and the set where they first meet. But other than that the character developments and the performances are poor.

This film receives: 2/10, it has to be said I really did struggle to keep my attention on this film, but because this title does have some solid to good elements I had to take that into consideration as well.

Trolls 2016 by AverageMansReviews

Trolls 2016 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this film is excellent.

Fundamental elements: there are voice-over elements, background music, slow-motion effects, quick moving effects, mental imagery, cultural elements, time jumps and place jumps.

Storyline/Musical numbers: this may sound like a strange comment, but it will make sense as I go along or it is the best way I can describe it anyway. Now without giving too much away, the storyline leans too hard on a predictable formula to begin with which is best associated with these kinds of animated film projects, but maybe just before or after the opening section [it is difficult to pinpoint.] My point is this it begins to lay on top of this; everything to make it stand out or at least tried to make it stand out from every other similar title to this one and based on my marking I would consider this to be a success, don't get me wrong the storyline is still there, but the more you watch of it the better it gets.

The musical numbers, well I have to give praise when it is due at least this title tries to get different genres of music in somewhere, be it in the musical numbers or anything else, there is something in here for everybody. I have always been secretly critical or I may have voiced it at that time [I can't remember] of the music in most of these titles, not the classics or the good ones just the run-of-the-mill and worse ones, for one absolutely top class reason, if you're going to have musical numbers or elements in your projects, at least show your viewers of any age there are many kinds of music out there, as I am of the alternative varieties I am very much aware it would be unwise to have anything too aggressive or mature, but there are many upon many different genres out there and it isn't just the same things or styles; in this day and age of 2019 and beyond, we should be showing our younger generations that there are many different tastes and types out there [yes I am aware that I have just made myself sound very, very old.] But if or when you choose to watch this project with or without your family you will see what I mean.

Artistic visions/Comedy level: simply put this title is very colourful and it doesn't hurt the eyes, there is imagination in this project such as for one example the making of cupcakes, this can be seen as both as an artistic vision and a comedy element, these two elements have a lot to do with one another just for one more brief example; the character with the name Cloud Guy who has the fist bump sequence and other elements is a character you should look forward to meeting at some point in this journey.

Action sequences: in a nutshell these elements are enjoyable as well.

Character developments/Performances: the character developments are something reliably safe but interesting at the same time, moving on to the performances they are all good [voices and singing.]

This film receives: 9/10, as you can see once this title stops leaning on this storyline formula so hard it can be great fun

Gamer 2009 by AverageMansReviews

Gamer 2009 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this title is poor.

Fundamental elements: there are words on screen, background music, quick moving effects, slow-motion effects, mental imagery, time jumps and place jumps.

In a nutshell the movement of this title is messy and I couldn't settle down with it at any stage.

Action sequences: there are weapons being used, combat elements and a chopper or choppers being used, what can I say after a certain amount of time I was really disinterested with this title.

Character developments/Performances: on both counts they are mainly poor, the character known as Humanz Brother is the only one that will get your interest when he is on screen performed by Chris 'Ludacris' Bridges, as I have been doing this for quite a few years under different names and so on, you should know by now I try to be balanced in my reviews, so if I had to pick someone out for you to watch out for when you watch this title; I choose this character/performer, because in fairness and balance he does a solid job with what he has been given.

This film receives: 1/10, yes there are other little bits and pieces which can be seen as positives such as the singing, lip-synching and dancing sequence, but this title still gets given this mark, just because based on my opinion it is consistently of this quality and how can I forget after roughly 26 minutes I was pretty much disinterested with this film anyway.

Whiteout 2009 by AverageMansReviews

Whiteout 2009 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this title is mixed

Fundamental elements: there are words and numbers on screen, voice-over elements, cultural elements, background music yes and no to subtitles being used when another language is being used, mental imagery, slow-motion effects, time jumps and place jumps.

This film needs a swift kick up the posterior to get going, based on my opinion this is true, because when this film has some get up and go to it; it makes this project feel and look like a better project all the way around really [hence why I came up with the mark I did.]

Action sequences: there are weapons being used and chasing sequences. The plane escape scene or sequence is only a small element, but it is interesting and something for you to look out for.

Character developments/Performances: the character developments are solid and the performances are everyone is doing their job in this project.

This film receives: 5/10, I know I have said this already but when this film gets a swift kick to get going, it is okay now I have seen it I wouldn't see it again [unless I lose this review or if I was on a date and the person wanted me to sit down and watch it with them or anything like this,] I mean what can I say this is one of those projects that doesn't have the repeat viewing factor about it.

Blood Father 2016 by AverageMansReviews

Blood Father 2016 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this project is excellent.

Fundamental elements: there are voice-over elements, cultural elements, background music, no subtitles when another language is being used, time jumps and place jumps.

The thing is with this title; on one hand it takes such a long time to get going, but on the other hand at some point it does get going, that is all I can say about it really.

Action sequences: there are weapons being used and chasing elements. Here is one action sequence for you to look out for; there is this motorbikes sequence involving our lead partnership [on one motorbike] and two bikers on two separate motorbikes and because I don't want to give too much away, I will just say this sequence like many other sequences in this title have been constructed neatly and efficiently.

Storyline/Character developments/Performances: the storyline in a nutshell has real substance as it makes consistent points [not only in the storyline, but the character developments as well,] as the daughter is in a train wreck of a lifestyle and a father that has a lifetime of misdeeds behind him with one big regret. These character developments are individually or together beautifully dysfunctional and functional with a mixture of both. But in short if you have ever wondered what Martin Riggs [from the Lethal Weapon franchise] would have turned out like if he was a criminal [I must stress the backgrounds of these two characters are different,] I am specifically talking about a rough description; this character is the nearest version to answer that question; such as mentally quick, verbally comical with mature or dark references, with a complicated reaction to what happens in this title from this perspective; the viewers get this feeling that this reaction is a mixture between unhappy but also happy to be back in this lifestyle [like I said it's complicated,] on top of that you have this daughter that is noticeably more educated by books than street smarts. The chemistry between these two characters/performers is fluent, feels very natural and heart-warming. These two characters/performers haven't spent much time together, but for here and now in this title, this female/daughter needs her father/someone like this in her life to try and keep her safe and be on the same level as her kind of with years of these kinds of experiences [this will make better sense when or if you choose to watch this title or not.]

This film receives: 8/10, after taking everything into consideration this mark is well-deserved, if it does have one problem which I have already discussed in this review.

Tuesday 19 February 2019

Hotel Artemis 2018 by AverageMansReviews

Hotel Artemis 2018 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this project is good.

Fundamental elements: there are voice-over elements, background music, a number or numbers with words on screen [this was tiny so I could be wrong about this; but this is no big deal,] cultural elements, mental imagery, yes and no to subtitles being used when another language is being used, time jumps and place jumps.

This is one of those titles that isn't slow, but it isn't the most quickest either, let's just say it moves with purpose, understanding and an identity to what is happening in and around or nearby this hotel.

Storyline: now usually or more often than not I wouldn't be happy or critical at the very least with the ending style of this project, but in this case it makes sense, from this perspective this film is good; but it is strange so why not have an ending like this, that kind of thing [this will make better sense when or if you choose to watch this title or not,] but in short without giving too much away to have a solid or a completed ending wouldn't fit in with this project.

Action sequences: there are weapons being used and combat elements, these elements or scenes or sequences are fitting for this time frame and landscape or landscapes.

Character developments/Performances: yes the violence is important, but the character developments/Performances are more important, based on my opinion when individually or when these characters come together in different numbers, the viewers can quickly identify who they are [such as things like their standing within this crumbling society/broken society and many other things,] so the audience should be able to pick up on the friction/chemistry between these characters/performers straightaway or early on, so all the performances are good.

This film receives: 7/10, as I have already said this film is good and if you are into strange films, give this one a look.

Monday 18 February 2019

Marauders 2016 by AverageMansReviews

Marauders 2016 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this project is mixed.

Fundamental elements: there is background music, music performances, cultural elements, slow-motion effects, mental imagery, voice-over elements, no subtitles when another language is being used [I am aware that they are  singing and they are in the background; but this is something I usually pick up on anyway and just to cover my own back there may or may not be times where I have missed out on this or other elements,] time jumps and place jumps.

Well straight off the bat this idea that I am now going to illustrate to you was such a bad idea; now for some strange reason this title uses slow-motion effects consistently and I have no idea why this is, it does nothing for the film in a positive sense.

Storyline: generally speaking I became slightly disinterested in this title, I say slightly because it does have some elements worth watching [without giving too much away,] the two husbands and wives individual storylines [two marriages.] But for the rest I can tell already it won't stay in my head or memory for too long, maybe little bits here and there [maybe I am being a little bit harsh and I will explain later why this is; I'm not backtracking on anything I have said, but for balance and fairness, I will discuss this more later on.]

Action sequences: there are weapons being used and combat elements.

Character developments/Performances: the character developments are something reliable and the performances are solid and it does feel like every performer is doing their part to make this project work, maybe this storyline is okay or solid if it wasn't for the annoying slow-motion effects, my point is [and I am aware that this is here or there because we don't know,] but maybe this film would have been better if there wasn't any yes I did just say any slow-motion effects in this title, I can think of only one time that I can remember maybe when the slow-motion effects are okay, it is where a character gets shot in the throat. But if someone said to me "You can have all or nothing with these slow-motion effects? " I would have said quickly and happily "Take them all out please."

This film receives: 4/10, I was going to give this project a different mark but after taking everything into consideration I felt this mark was better suited.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers [Season 1,] Episode 4: A Pressing Engagement by AverageMansReviews

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers [Season 1,] Episode 4: A Pressing Engagement by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is good

5 things about this episode

Moral message elements/Storyline: the moral message elements are surrounding Jason or at some points in this episode Jason/The Red Power Ranger, as he comes to realize in time with the assistance from his friends/The other Power Rangers mostly anything is achievable with or without their physical support [this will make better sense when or if you choose to watch this episode.] The storyline is okay it serves its purpose to deliver this message and it does get better the more you watch of it.

Comedy level/Character developments: to put this simply everything without Bulk & Skull feels really individual and rehearsed, but everything with Bulk & Skull feels natural and normal, you will grow to like these characters or love them, just because you will be spending many, many, many, many episodes getting to know them and throughout their time in this franchise, they don't claim to be anyone else but themselves [that is all I can say at this early stage.]

Action sequences: there are two different kinds of 2 on 1 action sequences; the way they have been constructed and their contents are both individually very good.

This episode receives: 6/10, as I have already said this episode is good and I would have talked more about it, but I have reached my limit of 5 things or less about an episode.

The Building of: Dean Ambrose Volume 1 by AverageMansReviews

The Building of: Dean Ambrose Volume 1 by AverageMansReviews

Wednesday 01/05/2019: I have updated this section just to point out that, this title; The Building of: and other blog titles such as Waisted: and In-depth Predictions/Other elements for WWE [insert pay-per-view name here.] Yes The Building of: and Wasted: blogs may be slightly similar [this is because The Building of: blogs inspired me to come up with the Waisted: blogs, so I try to use the title which is better suited for what I am talking about, it just gives me a little bit more leeway to work with

Dean Ambrose's Latest Heel Turn.

I feel terrible about this whole situation really, even though this was months ago I am still in two minds if I would have done things this way, I say this respectfully but using a real-life situation like this in this manner doesn't particularly sit too well with me. I mean nothing surprises me about the WWE anymore, but if you have been reading or viewing any of my material/blogs long enough I try to be balanced. So if it had to be done away things went down on that night next week I would have shown Ambrose to be apologetic with real emotions, Rollins could come down to the ring and they could talk about the tragic situation at the end of the segment Rollins could mention their other brother's name which consequently sends Ambrose nuts and he begins laying into Rollins, after some time Ambrose just walks away and up the ramp.

Over the next couple of weeks everyone begins to notice that Ambrose is becoming withdrawn sitting or being in the darkest places of the arena, occasionally talking sense or gibberish or possibly writing something on the walls and attacking anyone that tries to talk to him or interview him [so the authority figures send Young, from now on she is the only one that is safe around him,] so for his first interview Young asks why did you attack Rollins not once but twice? With that Ambrose sitting on some stairs says "Time" Young looks confused and says What does that mean?" Ambrose responds "Have you got the time?" Before Young responds; Ambrose softly puts his finger and thumb in a pinching motion to Young's lips so she cannot talk and says quietly yet creepily "Time waits for no one." With that he walks away slowly possibly making a sound of a clock or saying tick-tock tick-tock slowly and calmly.

As the weeks go on, Ambrose is becoming more mysterious sometimes talking sense or sometimes makes more references to time, his in ring style has somewhat changed as well to someone that obliterates his opponents with occasional getting disqualified, after by this point Rollins wants to know what is going on with you Ambrose? [Standing in the middle of the ring,] suddenly the audience sees Ambrose on the big screen; sitting in the dark just about to light a match [the match is now a light in his fingertips] you can see elements of his face and with this he gives this dialogue in a quiet voice "Now everyone is asking what is going on with Ambrose? So let's ask him? Ambrose what is going on with Ambrose? Well Ambrose after it was announced that our brother was ill again. We got thinking that time is short and to make our mark in this business we need to begin as soon as possible, so that is what I intend to do; beginning with you Rollins so tick-tock tick-tock Rollins time is running out for you your light needs to be extinguished [with that he uses his fingertips to put out the match, a match or a candle in a dark place can be his backstage gimmick, if you want to get creative you can have him possibly interviewing his shadow [Ambrose facing a wall but the right distance to create a shadow,]but he needs to use his fingertips to put out the light every time the segment is done to illustrate his more at home in the darkness.]

I have a feeling that the viewing audience watching this over this time would have a better connection with Ambrose, because based on the real-life tragic situation which I have used in this storyline [but also drifted away from this situation,] would hopefully paint Ambrose as a heel, but a heel with real feelings and ideas that this one situation can and does change your perspective on life.

I wouldn't say I am an arrogant person, but my basic idea in this situation is much, much, much better than what they went with. As things were it was unsettling to watch this whole storyline play out, because eventually they turned Ambrose into a terrible character and they exploited this real-life situation.

I do like Ambrose, but he is another performer/wrestler who would do unbelievable things for a different wrestling company, you could make him the number one guy in your organization or at least put him with the top stars to make dream matches, so even though I will not get to see him much on TV soon, it will be interesting to hear what he is doing possibly somewhere else in the wrestling industry.

In-depth Predictions/Other elements for WWE Elimination Chamber 2019 by AverageMansReviews

In-depth Predictions/Other elements for WWE Elimination Chamber 2019 by AverageMansReviews

Braun Strowman vs. Baron Corbin
No Disqualification Match: because I have no idea what is happening with the Kickoff Show when I began dictating this; this was the first match based on my research: my pick is Baron Corbin, I had to completely erase most of this paragraph and the subject contents; simply because when I first dictated it, this stipulation wasn't in place and consequently I changed my mind based on the new information given. I am going to just say it as it is; what a complete waste of time this match is, because I can see what is coming from miles and miles away, Drew McIntyre will get involved at some point so I am going to ask this rhetorical question? Does anyone else remember the time when Strowman and McIntyre were individually heading for the main event of Raw? Baron Corbin deserves to be somewhere around the Intercontinental Championship picture; as far as I can tell what the WWE have done here is successfully cooled down any forward momentum individually of Stroman and McIntyre with Corbin having very little momentum to begin with anyway, so in essence they are going to be stuck in this feud until WrestleMania 35 or the Shake-Up meanwhile as I have already said individually these performers/characters are either becoming stale or going backwards in their character developments [case and point I am beginning to see Corbin and McIntyre on the same level as it relates to their characters,] which wasn't the case a little while ago. But then again the WWE only have themselves to blame without having a Universal Champion around consistently to fill that massive gap which comes with your top brand Championship

Ruby Riott vs.
the Raw Women's Champion Ronda Rousey: my pick is Ronda Rousey, because everyone knows they wouldn't take the championship off Ronda Rousey at this point before WrestleMania 35. I am just hoping they have scripted the match so that Ruby Riott has the opportunity to put in a good showing [you know the kind of thing I'm talking about; looking good in defeat before [outside interference and yes this is just a guess, but I see it going this way.]

On a relating subject; I am furious with how they have dealt with Becky Lynch and I stress this is based on storyline, so in a nutshell I did expect something like this storyline, but this was the worst possible option they could have taken because if we go back just a couple of months ago we had this family unit in the middle of the ring basically saying something to the effect of "We have failed you and we will do better from now on." Now moving into more recent times we have not one authority figure, not two but three authority figures in this situation. I can understand one, I can make a good case for two but three is just overkill. I mean, what drove me crazy was the dialogue from the third authority figure in this segment, from this perspective talk about trying to bring down one of your hottest performers in recent history; it is a very, very good thing that this performer is strong enough to bounce back from this. I mean if you're going to have three authority figures, it makes the reason why they removed Paige from her position to look really pointless. [I am a logical person, so it would seem logical to remove her so she can go and promote her film,] but in storyline it still comes across as pointless, useless and a waste of time and I am not looking forward to seeing how Lynch gets back into the main event of WrestleMania 35, it is going to be something tedious and boring to watch, but if it has to be done here or back then in my next paragraph this is something they should have done instead.

What I would have done is something like this; for next week's Monday Night Raw Stephanie McMahon vs. Becky Lynch with one tiny stipulation if Stephanie McMahon wins she gets to pick someone else to replace Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 35 [Charlotte Flair] and if Becky wins she gets no more hassle from Stephanie or  Triple H until after Wrestlemania 35. The night of the match Stephanie has Triple H in her corner and before the bell sounds, Bálor's music hits, he heads down to ringside and he is in Becky's corner. Now heading towards the ending of this match the referee gets knocked out and Becky goes in for the pin, Triple H signals for another referee [trying to be professional,] suddenly Lashley comes out and down to the ring with Rush, they take out Bálor meanwhile Lynch stands up to go and find out what is happening, meanwhile what she doesn't see is Triple H  putting on the referee's shirt [or tries to] on top of that behind Lynch, Stephanie quickly rolls her up; Triple H gets into the ring and does a quick count and your winner is; Stephanie McMahon [when I say next week I mean this last week.]

At least using my rough idea; it has quite a lot of positives if you were to think about it. Because it builds up Stephanie as a decent wrestler which gets the W. over one of your biggest female wrestling stars/performers which could add more to the potential feud sometime down the line including the potential Lynch and Bálor vs. Stephanie and Triple H in a tag team match plus for here and now it puts Charlotte where you want her, it doesn't really hurt Lynch and it avoids the elements of the segment which infuriated me in the first place.

Finn Bálor vs. Lio Rush and the Intercontinental Champion
Bobby Lashley Handicap Match: my pick is Lio Rush and Bobby Lashley, in a nutshell it feels like they are still rebuilding Lashley in this character role, so it wouldn't make much sense for them to take the Intercontinental Championship off him at this time.

Akira Tozawa vs.
the Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy: my pick is Buddy Murphy, I have never hidden the fact I don't watch 205 Live [I don't have the network,] but I still feel that Buddy Murphy will win or retain this championship until WrestleMania 35 and then they will change the champion at this event.

The Usos vs.
the SmackDown Tag Team Champions
The Miz & Shane McMahon: my pick unfortunately is The Miz & Shane McMahon, if we were talking about tag team wrestling we would be discussing new champions, but I don't think that is the story they are going to tell here. Yes absolutely The Miz can wrestle with the best of them, but for The Miz & Shane McMahon to be taken seriously as Champions one team will have to take the defeat so basically there we go.

Nia Jax & Tamina vs. The Riott Squad vs. Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville vs. The IIconics vs. Sasha Banks & Bayley vs. Naomi & Carmella to crown the first-ever WWE Women's Tag Team Champions in the Elimination Chamber: I will pick two teams one from each brand, from RAW The Riott Squad and from SmackDown Live The IIconics. I have chosen these two teams simply based on I think these two teams could do with a push or as it relates to The IIconics they haven't been given much of anything to do, so as they are heels to begin with [so are The Riott Squad,] but The IIconics they could build a reputation that they will do anything to keep hold of these Championships, such as for one example hitting themselves with these titles and as they fall down, they throw the championship into their opponents hands so it makes them look as if they have just been hit with them consequently retaining their Championships by disqualification.

Now I am going to say some controversial things here and this will not be the only time I will say something controversial in this blog; I will have a massive problem with the WWE if they choose one team and give them the honour and privilege of the first reign and [I am aware there were previous Women's Tag Team Championships before this version of them.] But my opinions are a mixture of fact and opinion based; Nia Jax & Tamina one has a history of injuring people and the other has very little character as it relates to her on screen character [I have a feeling that they will be the first, I don't know why I just have this feeling, possibly to irritate the WWE fan base.]

Now to continue being controversial the first thing I want to say is this; I want these championships in existence; but this is where the controversial point comes into it are they going to get the same treatment as the Raw or SmackDown versions of them? Because as far as I can tell and it has been this way for quite some time if you cannot respect two titles or Championships what are you going to do with three of them, yes The Revival have the Raw versions of them now, but this team has been so badly used, I like this team a lot they have the potential to rebuild a tag team division or completely push it onto the next level, but their talents are being wasted [this is not their fault,] but I just want them to go and flourish in a different company, yes I know this means I will not be able to see them much on TV, but it should mean they can go and be a respected and in a characters sense respected and feared for being a dominating force in the world of professional wrestling/tag team wrestling somewhere else, moving on to the SmackDown versions of them and their current storyline, I feel very little about this situation but maybe this [anyone else have a shovel for these Championships.] Because they are just getting buried as I have already said yes one member of this tag team can wrestle with the best of them, but to hold victories over The Bar [a dominating force in their own right] and possibly beating The Usos [which bring everything including the kitchen sink every time they wrestle,] this storyline is getting harder to swallow unless they are trying to set up a Triple Threat at Wrestlemania 35 or a Fatal 4-Way including The New Day at Wrestlemania 35 for these Championships [but for here and now I am guessing.]

AJ Styles vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Randy Orton vs.
Samoa Joe vs. the WWE Champion "The New" Daniel Bryan
Elimination Chamber Match: my pick is "The New" Daniel Bryan, in short considering we are very near to WrestleMania 35 it seems unlikely they would change the Champion at this point and on top of that The New" Daniel Bryan character isn't ready to lose his Championship just yet [meaning the growth of his character has more weight behind it with this Championship; taking two minutes to think about it; it feels like they may do it at WrestleMania 35.

So just before I wrap things up; I just want to say I have been waiting a long time for the Kickoff Show updates if there is to be one and because this is based on fact I can say it; I will change this around if The Usos are pulled from this event for outside issues.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers [Season 1,] Episode 3: Teamwork by AverageMansReviews

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers [Season 1,] Episode 3: Teamwork by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this is another excellent episode

4 things about this episode

Moral message elements/Storyline: there are moral message elements in the storyline and they are to do with the environment, generally speaking this storyline gets better as you go along, without saying too much; The Power Rangers are in a pairing or trio dealing with different things at some points in this episode.

Action sequences/Artistic visions: I may as well talk about these two elements at the same time, because they had a lot to do with one another, the audience will see these individual Dinozords show off a little bit of their abilities and the camera work/other contributing elements show these to be excellently shown and lots of imagination was used in these scenes and sequences, slightly moving on the viewers get to experience the Power Blaster for the first time [when all 5 special individual handheld Power Rangers' weapons have been combined.] Power Rangers' colour and weapons; Black Power Axe, Pink Power Bow Yellow Daggers, Blue Power Lance and then Red Power Sword; standing behind this weapon something similar to half of a moon shape tightly grouped together so The Red Power Ranger/Jason is standing in the middle and if you look really closely depending what Power Ranger and their position they may be hands on shoulders or something like this [roughly] and then the Power Rangers say Power "Rangers "a little pause with the monster/Rita Repulsa usually realizing I or we may be in trouble here then The Power Rangers saying "Fire" I stress this again; this is just a rough description with this massive beam of power coming out.

This episode receives: 9/10, now at the very last minute I changed my mind on the mark, because be it The Power Rangers dealing with two situations at the same time or the artistic visions and the action sequences in one way or another, including the new weapons/the new weapons being combined to make one stronger one, this mark feels better suited for this episode.

The Equalizer 2 2018 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this sequel is poor.

Fundamental elements: there are words and a number on screen, slow-motion effects, background music, voice-over elements, yes and no to subtitles being used when another language is being used, mental imagery, cultural elements, time jumps and place jumps.

I may as well come out and say it from the very beginning, this sequel never gets going; yes there are some scenes or sequences where it does get going but then again it quickly returns to how it was before the scene or scenes or sequence.

Storyline: the main storyline is predictable and this will not be the only time I will be using the word predictable, but the tiny or extra storyline elements gives this sequel substance such as for one example our lead role trying to be a positive influence over this younger African-American.

Action sequences: there are weapons being used and combine elements, the action sequence in a moving car, this was something worth pointing out and saying this was something different.

Character developments/Performances: besides the whole younger African-American character developments the rest of them are predictable really. I don't know what to say about the performances to be fair, because I can't say they are poor because were they making something out of what was given to them or as you can probably tell where they just fighting an uphill battle to try to make this film work on multiple levels throughout, so I have decided to go with they were doing their job.

This film receives: 2/10, I know I have already discussed this briefly; but to be fair to myself this is the only out and out positive I can mention; the whole trying to be a positive influence on the younger African-American character is good, in short this sequel is boring and on a side note one of my cats decided to sit on my lap and fall asleep which I found this much, much, much, much more interesting and enjoyable considering this was the first time she had ever done this in roughly 20 years more or less, so it is worth mentioning here.

Review Time: this project is mixed.

Fundamental elements: there are words and a number on screen, slow-motion effects, background music, voice-over elements, yes and no to subtitles being used when another language is being used, mental imagery, cultural elements, quick moving effects, time jumps and place jumps.

This title is slow, but now having taken two seconds to think about things, this project does find its pace of sorts when this right hand-man character with tattoos comes into the project. I mean it isn't the most quickest anyway but between this right-hand man and our main character individually or together they seem to stabilize this title and of what I can remember so there is always the possibility of I could be wrong, but I think it slightly gets quicker through or just around the final quarter area.

Storyline: this storyline is something safe and reliable.

Action sequences/Artistic visions: there are weapons being used, an exercise element and combat elements. Now I am somewhat stuck here, because I don't want to tell you too much about this sequence, simply based on the fact it happens right towards the very, very, very late stages of this project, but I will call this sequence shopping by night, this sequence shows imagination in its contents and how it was put together; it is all good.

Now where the artistic visions come into it; it is where this right-hand man character; he has so many tattoos; that are covering a high percentage of his body [well of what we can see of it anyway,] whomever designed/put these tattoos on this character/performer there has been a lot of work done here and I will discuss these tattoos again in the next paragraph, but for now all I can say is you won't be able to miss them and they look interesting.

Character developments/Performances: the character developments are very predictable, at least with this main character with tattoos, the viewers should be able to get this feeling; that this character has all the whole marks of being a psychopath [I should just point out this is not just based on his tattoos,] but let's just say if they wanted to imply that this character/performer has been around, possibly seen some highly questionable things, done some highly questionable things and other things on top of that; well they have sent out the right message here, but his general character developments and other elements make him out to be a psychopath as well.

Moving on to the performances, there isn't much to say about them really they are solid and they are what they are; this is not a bad thing, there is chemistry or friction depending what characters/performers we are talking about at that specific time or at a minimum just able to keep the film going.

This film receives: 5/10, with taking everything into consideration this mark is just about right in one way or another [I couldn't justify a higher mark, but it is somewhere between this mark and the next one up after everything is said and done] before I wrap this up I am thinking I should dictate a disclaimer which basically says this; I am not saying that people with any form of art on them or in them or anything other is a or are a psychopath or anything other, I'm just talking about in the boundaries of this project and nothing more.]
