Passenger 57 1992 by AverageMansReviews

Passenger 57 1992 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this film is mixed.

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

Action sequences: there are weapons being used, training element, chasing elements and combat elements.

Character developments/Performances: the character developments are okay, they serve their purpose that kind of thing, when or if you choose to watch this title, you will understand this paragraph better after watching it; it's like as I have already said they are okay, but this title is very paint by numbers as it relates to these character developments or it shows us what happened or one character development can be seen as surprising at the time and moving on to the performances, they do the job.

This film receives: 5/10, with everything taken into consideration this mark seems fair, I mean if you haven't seen it before maybe watch it, but don't expect too much is probably the best way I can put it.

The Building of: WWE vs. All Elite Wrestling Volume 3 by AverageMansReview

The Building of: WWE vs. All Elite Wrestling Volume 3 by AverageMansReview

WWE's problems just seemed to be getting bigger: what were they thinking of at the very least entertaining the idea of mentioning AEW on their TV program, I must stress straightaway that the hierarchy of this company was far than happy with this. This is why I said at the very beginning what were they thinking of at least entertaining this idea [just to cover my back,] because someone must've had this idea in mind to bring it up in the first place for this entire incident to take place even though no one is 100% clear what happened here, but then again it is free advertisement for AEW so regardless of this incident great move WWE and even before I receive some feedback of any nature I see it as; this incident took place under the WWE umbrella so once again regardless of what went wrong I can still come out with great move WWE because it happened on their weekly TV programming.

Now I haven't watched any of the red or blue brand on TV, I have seen bits and pieces and other people's material this week [the week of Monday 27/05/2019,] it is just after watching AEW Double or Nothing, the way the WWE are at the moment and the foreseeable future unless they really, really, absolutely tremendously make a big effort to change things around I am not inspired to watch their TV programming of their blue or red brand and before once again I receive any form of feedback as far as I'm concerned the WWE have done this to themselves, from this perspective and this is just based on my opinion it's like having tunnel vision/the blinkers on having to watch week in and week out [I haven't done this for some time I can't remember when I last did if I was honest and being irritated by so many elements of it and yes I know I don't have to watch it.] But now he AEW are around I am beginning to look over their instead of here as I feel not just more valued but valued to begin with by AEW.

So yes I would pay more to see be AEW over the WWE as it relates to the  Box Office/The Network [if they could try to keep their pay-per-views Saturday nights/Sunday mornings or Friday night/Saturday mornings I wouldn't mind that, on a personal side note the next time I may want to get some more sleep before hand, because even though I enjoyed this event physically I was running out of steam] and if they could keep going/I am sure they will do but if they could keep going with this inter-promotional matches using other wrestlers from other promotions and their wrestlers going other places as well it would be greatly appreciated, it is refreshing to see different wrestlers from different cultures without them being instantaneously put in the character type of a heel just based on their ethnic background/culture.]

My next section is going to sound biased, but it is not intended to be from this perspective; AEW cannot do anything wrong unless somehow they run out of money or running to financial difficulty on some level which for some strange reason I don't see that happening, because of their financial situation to begin with of billions and secondly they always seem to be moving forward in one way or another.

But here's why they cannot do anything wrong and guess what it is down to the WWE to the reason why AEW cannot do anything wrong and if it should happen your new to my blog I am a very logical person so my next point is not me being biased, but me pointing out one key thing.

Because the WWE have conditioned their fan base or their so-called "Universe" which is dwindling to put up with so much garbage of a very, very, very, very low standard whenever sometime in the future AEW may do something questionable or anything like this; their fan base or quite possibly ex or current WWE fans as well may sit back for two minutes and say or think "That is something I wouldn't have done, but hey hey it is better than what WWE have done or are doing."

I can even condone the references from AEW towards WWE at Double or Nothing, because not only were they funny, but let's just keep in mind that there are many characters/performers under contract with the WWE at this moment in time that are very unhappy and they are not going to be released, basically their career's have been put on hold so they can watch these bits and pieces, half a quiet little laugh but as long as AEW don't do these kind of things to an excessive amount then it is all good fun.

My final points would be these; I have no problem with supporting wrestling in general, but now I have said that; I am not against or for the WWE let's just leave it like this they have so much work to do for me to even consider watching consistently/sizable chunks of their TV programming again [unless they want to make NXT free for everyone, like it was many, many moons ago] and one absolutely final thing I do believe that AEW Chants are going to be the new way of the WWE Universe showing their boredom or something to this effect including signs, they have every right to do this; based on it isn't offensive or as long as it isn't offensive contents on their signs [I found out the signs issue by watching someone else's material] and they have paid their hard-earned money, so the WWE have two choices here; the first is make a big, colossal effort to change things or the second option is to get some ear-plugs, because AEW the company and the AEW chants are not going away anytime soon.

London Has Fallen 2016 by AverageMansReviews

London Has Fallen 2016 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this sequel is poor.

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

The movement of this sequel is somewhat strange from this perspective; yes there could be plenty of things happening, including noisy sequences unfolding in front of us, but it doesn't really capture the viewers attention as under all this carnage it feels like applauding along film [like this for an example "that scene or sequence is finished and done with let's move on to the next scene or sequence."] Now I have to be fair and balanced the movement of this title does get better at some points, which I will discuss later in this review.

Storyline: in short for 98% of the time it is straightforward, there is one little thing which is hidden until it is time for it not to be [but I can't tell you this point.]

Action sequences: there are weapons being used, combat sequences, military helicopters being used which in one sequence this helicopter uses fire infrared decoy flares or something to this effect just in case I get this wrong and there is an exercise sequence as well.

Character developments/Performances/Comedy level: firstly the character developments are a paint by numbers thing, meaning as this is a sequel you would expect these kinds of character developments. Now for all the performances of this cast are serviceable as in they serve their purpose.

But now this is where I would like to talk about Butler as Secret Service Agent Mike Banning, Eckhart as President Benjamin Asher, the movement of this sequel and the comedy level. When these two characters/performers spend more time together in one way or another on screen, firstly the movement of this project feels better, secondly these character developments and the performances also feel of a better quality I mean you still get the paint by numbers progression, but it doesn't feel like it as these two characters/performers have good chemistry between them like for one example; in one scene put across to one another their own concerns and experiences and for the comedy level, it isn't exactly laugh at comedy neither is it of the dark origins, but it is for another example briefly Banning does something in this scene and Asher says "was that really necessary?" Which Banning says "No" so as you can read it is something like this

This film receives: 3/10, I think after taking everything into consideration, as always I don't discuss everything about a project but without Butler and Eckhart carrying this film together this sequel would have been much worse.

Olympus Has Fallen 2013 by AverageMansReviews

Olympus Has Fallen 2013 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this project is good.

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, slow-motion effects, mental imagery, time jumps and place jumps.

Storyline: it is something safe and reliable and straightforward.

Action sequences: there are weapons being used, combat elements and for an example there are three different kinds of planes being used in this title, there are two Fighter Jets, one Military Transport Aircraft with these departments where these guns come out of [including the ability to fire infrared decoy flares] and this small mechanical plane which a terrorist character lets fly.

Character developments/Performances: generally speaking the character developments and the performances are good.

This film receives: 7/10, this is one of those occasions where you could get a take away out and sit down and watch this title with plenty of weapons being used and those kind of things on your way throughout this film

John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum by AverageMansReviews

John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this sequel is excellent.

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

Storyline: in a nutshell it is a continuation from the previous sequel and it is good.

Artistic visions/Comedy level: the artistic visions are well spaced out in this project, be it the ballet practice scenes on stage or without giving too much away when our lead role is walking through the desert [I am specifically focusing on the night element, the day elements are okay but the night element is beautiful and it did catch my eye, or being when our lead role is doing combat with this character that is bold [the background is colourful and engaging, you won't be able to miss it,] in fact these scenes or sequences within these see-through locations are smart, efficient and elegant.

Now moving on to the comedy level, I am sitting here trying to think of a descriptive word or words for it, because I could say mature or adult, but it wouldn't cover everything, so let's just say it ranges between these two words with a elements of dark comedy as well.

Like briefly for one example our lead role and another character which is an enemy are both out of bullets so basically the first one to completely reload wins [his prize is he gets to kill his opponent and he gets to live.]

Action sequences: firstly in short there are weapons being used, combat elements and chasing elements. Now these action sequences are high-octane action, action and more action, they are swift impactful and show imagination like watch out for I think it is an axe or a design of an axe but it gets thrown by our lead role, the horses and an underwater scene.

Character developments/Performances: now from an overview perspective it is very important and appreciated by me, that all these characters are in one way or another designed to see these events as everyday events, because in turn this builds the chemistry/friction between one another [depending where you are in this title is depending what you get at that time.] Now just to focus on a small number of performers for a little while Reeves and Berry have excellent friction/chemistry and not forgetting our two other performers in this sequence as well they are handsome or pretty, I should say pretty dangerous as well they respond perfectly well to Berry/Sofia and I shouldn't forget Keanu Reeves's/John Wick's little friend either when he's on screen in this sequel.

This film receives: 9/10, if there was to be a sequel in the future; may I suggest somebody gets these performers under contract as soon as possible, because yes this sequel has much to offer, but with these performers making these characters their very own, it will leave a gap in this sequel that will be very difficult to replace if they were not to be in it, but for here and now after everything is said and done this sequel is excellent.

In-depth Predictions/Other elements for AEW Double Or Nothing 2019 by AverageMansReviews

In-depth Predictions/Other elements for AEW Double Or Nothing 2019 by AverageMansReviews

The first thing is: I am not going to lie I have watched other peoples content for some research, the more I watch of this company in one way or another, the better my opinions and other things will become, yes I can still make up my own opinions on things, but there is no point hiding things of this nature and at the moment I know little to nothing about this company, so just for now these blogs are going to be noticeably on the smaller side of things.

Sammy Guevara vs. Kip Sabian: my pick is Kip Sabian

Casino Battle Royal Winner receives a shot at the AEW World Championship: my pick is Shawn Spears, from the names I can pick from.

Aja Kong, Yuka Sakazaki and Emi Sakura vs. Hikaru Shida, Riho, and Ryo Mizunami Six-Woman Tag Team Match: my pick is Aja Kong, Yuka Sakazaki and Emi Sakura

Angelico and Jack Evans vs. The Best Friends Tag Team Match: my pick is The Best Friends

Britt Baker vs. Nyla Rose vs. Kylie Rae Triple Threat Match: my pick is Nyla Rose

 SoCal Uncensored vs. Strong Hearts Six-Man Tag Team Match: my pick is SoCal Uncensored

Cody vs. Dustin Rhodes: my pick is Cody, but if I was honest as long as someone picks up the W. here I am happy.

The Lucha Bros vs.
the AAA World Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks: my pick is The Lucha Bros. Now because I am a honest guy on what I have learned about this match as it relates to the AAA World Tag Team Champions as these championships belong to a different company, it would make sense for The Lucha Bros to win them back here.

Kenny Omega vs. Chris Jericho: my pick is Kenny Omega; now with the added stipulation that the winner here, takes on the winner of the Casino Battle Royal to find out who will be the first-ever AEW World Championship at some point in the future which I think when it is all said and done; this will be Kenny Omega.

There is only one way for me to finish this blog and it is by saying this; "I am really very excited for this pay-per-view and I am just really looking forward to watching wrestling and I know I'm going to get criticized for this but never mind, I may as well be honest about things, I am looking forward to getting away from a certain company and their Universe for a night and a morning."

Last updated: Sunday 02/06/2019, I am here just to point out that the women's Triple Threat Match was changed into a Fatal 4-Way Match with the inclusion of Awesome Kong and whilst I'm here; I should have known better with Chris Jericho debuting a new finisher [The Judas Effect,] he wasn't going to lose because if you want to put over a new finisher, you don't lose with it in the first match you use it in. I mean I even watched this program the day before this pay-per-view of him training and telling us about it and I still didn't put one and one together, but never mind I am hoping that AEW have plans to put AEW All Out on a pay-per-view basis again













Average Extra of: DC's Batwoman 2019 Season 1 Trailer by AverageMansReviews

Average Extra of: DC's Batwoman 2019 Season 1 Trailer  by AverageMansReviews

Now before I get down to business I should just point out the reason for "Season 1" at the top I may want to do a follow-up for Season 2 Trailer and to cover my own back as long as I see a trailer it doesn't matter which one as long as it is official from the company in question for an example in this case I looked for any signs of this company "The CW" in the trailer and it did.

Real Talking Time: let me make something crystal clear everyone is entitled to their individual opinions. Now I have made that crystal clear I cannot see anything wrong with this trailer and I have seen it more than once, I just can't see any problems with it, I have seen other people’s opinions/material and I have come to the conclusion that as of this blog I am in my middle 30's on the slow ride to my 40's so in that time the world has changed so much, before I receive negative feedback I am not saying the olden days were better, because I am not saying that in the slightest. But what I am saying is this; because of this life experience generally speaking I have the knowledge and know-how of how things used to be so as it relates to this trailer I may interpret things differently.

Looking outside the box; I mean this from a rhetorical question perspective; now could it be possible that we are now living in such a landscape where political correctness or something to that variation is so tight and restricting that the finest point out of place will upset somebody, somewhere in the world?

I make this point because the lead character/performer in this TV series just comes over as strong-willed and wants to break away from her family relation's shadow, yes I do understand that she is using his equipment amongst other things, but she can still forge her own path with her own personality in short she is not the same person as her family relation underneath the cape and I have this feeling that she could be quite comical from a dark or sarcastic perspective sometimes in this TV program.

Now I see Wonder Woman and everything to do with her in [the DCEU or The Worlds of DC] is completely different to Captain Marvel and everything to do with her in [the MCU Marvel Cinematic Universe.] I am not enforcing my opinion on to anyone, that has never been my way but having said that I think we do all need to step back from the edge of a very large cliff and take two minutes to realize that political correctness or any different things could be getting out of hand or people are getting really sensitive about the smallest details and to be honest of course it is going to have feminine origins or themes or elements or whatever of some description, now again before I receive unpleasant feedback of any description can I just point out one ever so, so small, tiny detail not noticeable  really I will even highlight it for you; Batwoman, so speaking from a common sense perspective what were you expecting to see in this TV program, maybe a bat watching/observing nature TV program hosted by a woman perhaps?


So yes as long as this TV program is on in my country and I series-link it I will be watching it. But I will be watching it after the season has finished though because for two reasons I don't like advertisements and I don't like waiting for the next episode or anything like that or if that should fail I will be getting it on DVD or Blu-Ray, basically whatever way I will be watching it and just out of interest I watched this trailer again just now and I still don't get the outrage, this does not make me of low intelligence, now if it was something really noticeable like for an example how Sonic looked in a trailer for his upcoming live-action film title later this year I would understand that, but for here and now on this particular trailer I just don't get it.

Wasted: The Usos vs. the SmackDown Tag Team Champions Daniel Bryan & Rowan at Match The Money In The Banks 2019 by AverageMansReview

Wasted: The Usos vs. the SmackDown Tag Team Champions Daniel Bryan & Rowan Match at The Money In The Banks 2019 by AverageMansReview

Stipulation: a non-title tag team match.

Now I want to make something crystal clear first: even though this blog has this title, this has nothing to do with these four characters/performers whatsoever, it will make much more better sense the more you read, I was just thinking I would make this crystal clear to begin with.

So having said that, when this match was announced it was quite late on in the day meaning, this match was the last to be announced so when I announced it in which storyline would be better, meaning the outcome and I opened up the question to people on my twitter account, I made a little mistake thinking it was for these championships which I was wrong I hold my hands up I got something wrong it happens from time to time [I will put the link at the bottom of this blog where I made the mistake.]

But the more I was thinking about it, the more I was wondering this rhetorical question “Why weren't these championships on the line anyway?” I mean shouldn't they be any way, based on the fact it was a pay-per-view.

Yes if you're now thinking/saying to yourself “Whatever this company do in most situations, they cannot win whatever way." To that I respond with this "Yes absolutely I would have pointed this out even if the championships were on the line, the no more automatic rematches thing or the Brand-Split and the reason why I don't feel I am being harsh or anything to this effect, it is because it isn't my fault that they say or do things to contradict themselves or they are so short-sighted that they couldn't even see John Cena, even if he was standing right in front of them.

So as you can probably tell the Brand-Split and the Wild Card Rule are individually or together well my patience is running on fumes. Like I said earlier I don't have a problem with this match or the four characters/performers, but I would have preferred to see the red brand versions of these tag team championships on the line in this match slot; you know wipe the dust off them [as they haven't seen the light of day for a little while now.]

This company have three main roster championships and not one got defended on this pay-per-view, so it is a good thing that on Saturday 25 May 2019 AEW Double Or Nothing has some tag team matches in one way or another including The Lucha Bros vs. the AAA Champions The Young Bucks.

I have one final point to make in this blog: now most of the time in my blogs I am lenient or when it is appropriate to try and be lenient; but as it relates to this company they have got to put, as I am sitting here so much more effort into things generally speaking for my patience to grow which in turn will make me lenient again in the long run.

But on a positive note as it relates to the main roster brands please don't mess up anything to do with Bray Wyatt’s "Firefly Fun House" give the women more time on screen and even though the 24/7 Championship is a good idea, they could have made it look good with for an idea they could have put the colours of the brands or the logo of the brands on the strap itself which this championship is allowed to be on, when I say strap I mean the green leather or whatever it is made from. Yes I know this championship is allowed everywhere so all the logos would be on it, all I'm saying is or suggesting is they could have made this championship look respectable on some level; by reading this blog, you can clearly see I don't have any problem or problems with these four competitors in this match, I just have problems with things above them.

A Wrinkle in Time 2018 by AverageMansReviews

A Wrinkle in Time 2018 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this project is mixed

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

The management of this title including the other elements as well is a mixed bag throughout this film title [I will discuss this more later on in this review.]

Storyline: in short it is okay; it does remind me of The Never Ending Story franchise.

Artistic visions: these have imagination in them and they are engaging such as these flowers which turn out to be excellent rescuers or when one of our recurring characters turns into this green flying creature.

Character developments/Performances: now at first generally speaking these character developments use a paint by numbers character model or character models for this type of film, but however underneath all of this; it has been designed to include somewhere between young teens to women finding inner strength and things of this nature. Now to cover my back on this very controversial or argument bringing topic of conversation and other things, yes it may begin with having these conversations with other characters and our lead role, but it also includes young teen boys as well [without giving too much away, but this makes a good point; this young teen male has to go home and talk to his father, there is enough here to suggest he has learned something or things from this experience and no this character is not a bad person.]

From an overview perspective the performances are mixed based on my viewing experience; now this is where I'm going to bring up the movement and everything that comes with that in this title, it does take this project some time to get going on then it is mobile and then roughly around the final quarter it feels slow or something like this but I hasten to add at this point there are things happening.

My point here is this; there are three characters/performers on screen consistently when this film feels mobile and without these three characters/performers this film goes into slumps again.

But before I finish I should talk about the character developments a little bit more and the performances, because these character developments were and are a paint by numbers kind of thing, yes as I have already made reference to in this blog I understand the in-depth meaning of these things, but having said that some of these dialogue exchanges could have done with a little kick in them in one way or another [you know what I mean; something to grab its audiences,]

This film receives: 5/10, after taking everything into consideration this mark feels right, maybe a sequel would be a good idea just to see how these characters have been developing individually and together.

Pokémon Detective Pikachu 2019 by AverageMansReviews

Pokémon Detective Pikachu 2019 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this film is good.

Fundamental elements: there are cultural elements, mental imagery, slow-motion effects, background music, place jumps and time jumps [it should be noted that this paragraph is just a rough outline of these elements, so if at any stage be it in any of my previous reviews or present or future reviews I should miss out little bits and pieces for any reason, I'm just pointing this out here and now and as I haven't said this for some time I never discuss all of the title anyway.]

I will discuss this point later on in this review, but at this point I'm just going to put it like this; this title needs somebody's voice for this project to get moving, I mean before this point this title just doesn't have any get up and go to it whatsoever.

Storyline: now without saying too much, it is a very slow burner.

Artistic visions: there is great imagination being used on bringing these Pokémon to life, they are highly detailed in their own specific ways whatever they are doing throughout this title

Action sequences: there are chasing sequences, weapons being used and combat elements and yes there are Pokémon battling as well.

Character developments/Performances: generally speaking the character developments are straightforward for 90% of them [I would like to talk about the 10% which isn't straightforward, but I can't because that would be telling you way too much about this title, all I can say is this; I acknowledge the fact that there is a small percentage of the character developments which are really well-developed and shown in this project when they happen.

Now moving on; well they are performing their character types really, meaning if they wanted their characters to turn out this way the performers did their job.

Voice performance/Comedy level: Ryan Reynolds as the voice of Pikachu, now as I said earlier in this review, I would discuss this point again and here we are; with this performer/character on screen this film does pick up.

The comedy level is well-placed and well-timed there is going to be at least something you will find funny such as Pikachu/Reynolds accidentally hitting this character/performer in the face with his tail every time he turns or the Mr. Mime sequence [the entirety of his appearance] or Reynolds just being the voice of Pikachu.

This film receives: 6/10, yes this project may look visually engaging in one way or another, but without Reynolds’s impact on this title, this project would be looking at a different mark, let's just say I would maybe be leaning towards being more like a Snorlax [for those people that are not into Pokémon; in short this is a sleeping Pokémon.] On a quick side note and yes I could be completely wrong about this; but is it me or when the Bulbasaur or and Bulbasaurs are on screen they were not given their original speech Patton by saying different ways of Bulbasaur, but just to cover my back once again I could be completely wrong about this.

Pokémon the Movie: The Power of Us 2018 by AverageMansReviews

Pokémon the Movie: The Power of Us 2018 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this project is good.

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

The movement of this title does take some time to get going, but to share this issue it is a mixture between the movement and the storyline, I will talk about this storyline more later on, but let's just say there is enough blame to go around and when I say it does take some time, I mean something to the level of a slow burner here and even when it gets going it isn't the most quickest anyway.

Storyline/Moral message: as I was saying in the previous paragraph I am of the mind set, that the movement of this title isn't the most quickest consequently it gives you plenty of time to look and to experience this storyline which it is for most parts tedious, but somewhere around let's say roughly the three-quarter stage [to be honest I can't remember when, I know it is somewhere around here] but things do get better as it relates to the movement and the storyline of this title, moving on in short without giving too much away a character says to this Pokémon something to this effect and briefly "Not everyone is the same."

Artistic visions: generally speaking it looks fresh, up-to-date and of a very high standard, such as when Pikachu is playing around with this water fountain and gets splashed in the face [it is one of those water fountains that comes up from the ground, you will notice it when you come to watch this project.]

Action sequences: the action sequence that really sticks out in my mind is where Ash is a backseat driver to this battle sequence.

Character developments/Voice performances: the character developments are something safe, but something you can also see coming from miles and miles and miles and miles away and the voice performances are good.

This film receives: 6/10, now after everything is said and done this mark seems right, how can I put this; I decided to go with this mark, because of the artistic visions of how this title looks and so on and so forth. There are two things I should bring up before finishing this review; the first is there is this scene after the closing credits [after the pictures] and for you parents out there with young children that are thinking about watching this title with your children this is just a heads up there are bits and pieces spoken and shown such as the spirit of a dead Pokémon.

Wasted: The Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match 2019 by AverageMansReviews

Wasted: The Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match 2019 by AverageMansReviews

Well that was a waste of time wasn't it, originally I was furious and don't get me wrong I am still a little, but after seeing some bits on social media about this situation I took some comfort in there are some people out there that either felt the same way or just laughed about it which let's be honest this is a complete joke anyway.

But now I have said that let's be serious, I don't get how Lesnar is meant to help with the TV ratings considering for at least 90% of the time he is not contracted to show up, so in reality they are just going to crush the Universal Championship picture again for not the first time, not the second time but for a third time when he becomes the Champion again.

To be perfectly honest but trying to remain professional the WWE deserve the troubles they now face and in the future as well, because of their hierarchy short-sightedness and in this case potentially putting one of their main championships on someone with his standard contract which basically means taking this championship as a hostage again some time in the future, because there is no way with this opportunity he will be losing.

My next point [I will show you my next point] Andrade 29, Ali 33, Randy Orton 39,  Finn Bálor 37, Baron Corbin 34 [I wouldn't have been thrilled if Corbin had won it either,] Ricochet 30, Drew McIntyre 33, Braun Strowman 35 [I have to ask "What is Strowman doing back in this match? "I am not disgruntled, but from the storyline perspective it is poor] and Brock Lesnar 41, so what a great way to build on the present and future by giving this once a year opportunity to the oldest competitor and not forgetting the point which I have previously made of this character/performer having a very limited contract [and I have to ask again, "Where did he come from? I mean he wasn't scheduled to be in this match in the first place."]

I mean if you are going to give it to limited characters/performers which are of a certain age give it to somebody your fan base like to see, here are just some suggestions; Triple H 49, The Undertaker 54, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson 47, Goldberg 52, Booker T, Kurt Angle 50, 54 and Sting 60 [I mean with The Undertaker or Sting they could do one more match at WrestleMania] or something different by them picking a protégé which learns from them which at the last minute they would get given the opportunity or at the last minute they would hand it to someone that would really irritates the hierarchy of this company.

But as things stand I think for the foreseeable future the storylines are going to be insufferable to watch, I don't mean to be depressing but there was no reason or no positive reason to give Lesnar this golden opportunity, he is an established superstar and his championship reigns have been long tedious and insufferable and here is something the WWE should pay special attention to "the more I think about it, the more another Lesnar championship reign with his standard contract heavily does not appeal to me and I know now I couldn't watch another reign, so change his contract so he shows up or does something on social media to engage with your ever dwindling Universe or take this opportunity away from him somehow I don't care how you do it, just get it done."

If someone from the hierarchy just did this for a insider joke and to have a laugh and giggle, the joke will be on him when people stop watching.

I am going to finish it there because I feel really very, very sorry for the men and women that put everything on the line day in and day out and because of the Brand-Split 2019, the Wild Card Rule and now for a part timer [in fact that is an insult to a part timer character/performer,] let's be more precise he is just there for the money, but in reality because of these decisions the next generation of superstars for this company are not given the time of day, so for this company it is quite depressing at the moment and for the near future as well.

But let's finish this on a positive at least next Saturday 25 May 2019 there is a little something happening and for the life of me I cannot remember what it is, Oh yes it is AEW Double Or Nothing, don't forget to order this pay-per-view I am sure there will be surprises throughout the night, but they will be ones everyone likes.

Review Time: this film is good

Fundamental elements: there are voice-over elements, numbers on screen, background music, time jumps and place jumps.

Storyline: it is good, but the ending needs to be something better and without giving too much away, the style of ending this project uses is of this question-mark of what happened next?

Action sequences: there are weapons being used

Character developments/Performances: now generally speaking minus the main two characters/performers they are something safe and reliable, moving on to our two main roles of Sutherland as Judge Straight and Vincent Kartheiser as Henry David Cole; everything about these two individually or together make this film and are the two reasons why this title gets given this mark for their dialogue or dialogue exchanges or friction between these two characters/performers or I believe some elements of chemistry as well [these moments are very small and then it goes back to friction, it is something for you to feel/look out for.]

This film receives: 7/10, on one hand if you are a fan of the film title Saw [2004,] this title has been done in a similar tone but not as visual as Saw, [there are elements of that film that get referenced to in this title as well,] but on the other hand the points I have made about this storyline and more importantly without these two main characters/performers this project would be looking at a different mark.
