Official Secrets 2019 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this film 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, interpreter elements, time jumps and place jumps.

The movement to this project; well it has a clear idea of what it wants to do and it sticks to that smoothly moving from location to location and throughout the film.

Storyline: the storyline is based on real-life events and there are narratives as well.

Action sequences: straight to the point there are war scenes.

Character developments/Performances: they are all good; there is good chemistry/friction [yes depending where you are; this depending what you get.]

This film receives: 7/10, yes I am aware I haven't said a lot about this title but here is where I would like to change that, now yes in my project blogs I have been doing this long enough to say I try to remain unbiased, but as it relates to this specific project I cannot just say it is good without some form of clarification first.

What I mean is this; everything about this film from a film perspective is good, but having said that I just want to separate the film aspect and everything that comes with that away from the real-life events, I just felt uncomfortable just saying this film is good; when the contents of this project is based on what it is based on.

The next thing I'm going to be saying; is very controversial and these two situations are very different. But to be fair this is what I came away thinking after watching this film, without giving too much away; if this information was false in this situation, what does it say for Brexit when briefly it is well over 3 and a half years, some our politicians lying, looking after themselves and their social class [I was just thinking I would just highlight some of our politicians, in the interest of fairness and balance and to cover my back,] social divides everywhere in the real world, online, the Leavers thinking we should leave and to do anything else is undemocratic with or without a deal, even though we now know more of what is involved, it would supremely cripple the United Kingdom in one way or another, make Ireland a war zone again and this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Meanwhile the Remainers are seen as the enemy [I know this to be true because I am one,] so as I am poor amongst other things before leaving the European Union I am poor, after leaving the European Union I will be much more poorer, which I often get asked how do you know no one knows? Which lately I have pointed out in a rough description I have asked so why vote for something we have no idea what it looks like or something like this.

But that is beside the point; I know they always hit the sections of our society that cannot fight back, because I am a part of the sections, so why should this situation be any different and even though we haven't left yet, I am beginning to feel the impact.

This is where this project comes into it; I am not trying to change anyone's opinion, because that is not my way. But what I am saying quite clearly and I will make this crystal clear, so there's no confusion just be absolutely certain wherever your loyalties lay on the subject, you're not doing it for just yourself but for your children and their children's children and so on, because there have been so many lies and other things that we don't want to screw up the next generations even before they are born, so I would recommend softening your views and meet in the middle, because if we make a mess of this there will be suffering and as things are I don't see the social divide closing anytime soon between the Leavers or Remainers or the social classes, it is worthwhile pointing out that the general public didn't make a mistake, the politicians made the mistake here by giving us an option that they had no idea what it entails, they didn't do the research or anything like that, so let me just say this again I am not here to change anyone's opinion, but simply pointing out the general public is not the problem, so why are we squabbling between ourselves when each side has valid points like yes we should leave with a deal not without or we should have a second referendum where it has two choices remain or leave with this deal whatever the deal looks like at that time, but the general public should now be more like "Come back to us when you have a plan that suits everybody involved and not before, you put us all in this position now you figure it out, that way we can get on with our lives and not having this Brexit divide between us anymore." [on a quick side note full disclosure I did miss a section of the film, let's just say I had to answer the call of nature.]

In-depth Predictions/Other elements for WWE Crowd Jewel 2019 by AverageMansReviews

In-depth Predictions/Other elements for WWE Crowd Jewel 2019 by AverageMansReviews

Just a heads up: I am beginning this five days away so the matches may be in the wrong order.

20-Man Battle Royal Winner Faces
AJ Styles for the United States Championship: my pick is Buddy Murphy, I have no idea what is happening with this Championship I have really lost interest in this company [yes I originally went for Ricochet, but on watching someone else's material, I found out he wasn't involved so I have just chosen somebody that is involved.]

TBD vs. the United States Championship AJ Styles: my pick is AJ Styles, I don't think they would do a change of champion here, yes I did find this out by watching the same material I mentioned in the previous paragraph.

The largest Tag Team Turmoil Match in history to determine World Cup winner and crown the Best Tag Team in the World: my pick is The Viking Raiders, now if this company wanted to push this tag team, this would be the time to do it; have them come out and destroy everybody, I know they are the current Raw Tag Team Champions, but they do need something to make them feel/look like a dominant force or if the WWE wants to get really creative [I know that would be a strange concept for this company,] they could do this kind of thing but with The AOP instead which would establish them straightaway into a tag team title picture in one swift move, so either outcome would be a logical move and something this company could build on unless somehow Shane McMahon wins this as well and takes another opportunity away from these characters/performers that work very hard; day in and day out. By the way the stipulation is really catchy and easy to remember; Not!

Natalya vs. Lacy Evans: my pick is Lacy Evans, to give her a push based on this win as a starting point and she and this company can go on about it time after time after time, as she is/was the first-ever woman to pick up the W. in a wrestling match in Saudi Arabia. Now on one hand well done to this company for getting this done and achieved, but on the other hand haven't we seen this match before, time after time, Natalya vs. Becky Lynch would have been a better match all round really; based on experience, character developments ["The Man"] and what they wear to the ring [before I receive any form of backlash, these three points are just based on where this match is going to take place, let's just say if I was booking this match I would feel much more comfortable with my idea and it also takes into consideration the crowd might turn as well, so these two characters/performers could deal with that with ease in fairness and balance the crowd shouldn't turn [but I would just like to cover every possible eventuality that could happen,] I was thinking I would just go and do some research on this situation, after watching someone else's material I found out that three female characters/performers traveled with the WWE to this part of the world [the other one is Lana] and on a quick side note on watching the same material after watching it I had remembered or it dawned on me they would have to cover up because it is their custom in this part of the world. I should have remembered really because now I am thinking about it American Dad did two episodes [Stan of Arabia part 1 and 2] and for those people that don't watch this TV program very briefly in these two episodes the Smith family get sent to this part of the world

Mansoor vs. Cesaro: my pick is Mansoor, he comes from this part of the world and unlike other characters/performers where they would possibly lose if they were the hometown hero. Mr. McMahon wouldn't dare do this here simply because of money, isn't that right Mr. McMahon you will bend over backwards to keep this highly controversial situation sweet, but putting to one side this match should be good, of course it will be good because Cesaro is involved.

Team Hogan vs. Team Flair 5-on-5 Tag Team Match: my pick is Team Hogan, just because of Roman Reigns being on this team and looking him up he is on SmackDown so to reinforce that SmackDown is now the number one brand they could have him pick up the W. for his team [yes I am aware that this may sound small minded but let's not forget what company I am talking about here, so this is something they would do.] Whilst I am on the subject they would probably like this image with Hulk Hogan and Roman Reigns celebrating in the ring after this match to put over Hulk Hogan just to put a few positive points on his public image and throw in Ric Flair at some point for this picture moment as well, but I have to ask this rhetorical question why would the WWE put Hulk Hogan into this controversial situation again? It is two different kinds of controversy clashing with one another [I know Hulk Hogan is the biggest name or one of the biggest names in professional wrestling so that is why he is booked here,] but they should be putting over the younger talent, but in fairness and balance they may not have a choice here, simply because the WWE have to deal with a request such as characters/performers from a certain time in the WWE history as it relates to these pay per views and on a connecting subject to this match I am refusing to acknowledge Chad Gable's new name ["Shorty G"] and wrestling persona [image] it does him no favours and he is too good for this garbage

Braun Strowman vs. Tyson Fury: my pick is Tyson Fury, at this point another loss for Braun Strowman, well who cares. Don't get me wrong I like this character/performer but seriously the WWE have just turned him into another Big Show, but at least the Big Show won Titles/Championships in his career of substance; at this precise moment in time Strowman hasn't anything of substance and he deserves much, much better treatment from this company [yes when I say these things I have taken into consideration championships/titles and reigns

“The Fiend” Bray Wyatt vs. the Universal Champion Seth Rollins Falls Count Anywhere Match that can’t be stopped for any reason: my pick is Seth Rollins, well I have a lot to say here so let's get on with it.

Let's begin with Bray Wyatt/“The Fiend” Bray Wyatt, I see the Firefly Fun House is now on SmackDown so the WWE are just going to move on from burning it down on one Brand to just move it onto another Brand without explaining anything [this is top quality intelligence here, Not! This company and I can say this with confidence now, they are deliberately going out of their way to screw up; these two characters/performer including surrounding characters and he clearly isn't winning here based on the fact he is now on SmackDown, so would someone like to tell me what would be the point of this match? Seriously, I mean you've clearly told us that he isn't winning, so this would just be a waste of time and I just see it as an opportunity for these two performers to get injured in a pointless match. [By the way the answer to the question is; because of money and you want to take more shine off Bray Wyatt/“The Fiend” Bray Wyatt.]

The only thing that is stopping me from using adult language is the fact that I said I would never use out and out adult language in my blogs, but I'm getting sick to death of this company taking brilliant characters/performers and continuously feeding them to other characters/performers to get them over or booking them badly [just not understanding their characters and their audiences or just not using them.

Which swiftly brings me on to this individual Seth Rollins, I have absolutely no more time for this person, my patience has run out for him I don't like him, I don't respect him and the WWE could do much better without him.

If you want me to be really honest yet clean about it, he is just Mr. McMahon's newest pet, my only advice to Rollins would be this; be careful when you get older because Mr. McMahon will just throw you away when you have fulfilled your shelf life, like he has done with many others before you.

Now let me clarify this; the reason or reasons why I am now having this perspective, it is because this individual runs his mouth and he hasn't earned that right at this point. Because he has been well protected since he has been in the WWE he has always been given things and basically he is a corporate suck up, I mean I have much more time for performers that have or haven't worked for this company and have had to earn it or if they were on the top of the mountain, such as Chris Jericho [at one point for this company] he is still well grounded as a person. But Rollins keeps talking about money, money and money and I have heard enough of it.

Next this stipulation [Falls Count Anywhere Match that can’t be stopped for any reason,] I understand why the stipulation has been worded this way [because of what happened at Hell In A Cell this year.] So let me get this right when they should explain things like the Firefly Fun House, they don't and when they should try and swiftly move on they don't, they just make the situation worse with this stipulation, yes I would have had a rematch but with the stipulation a Last Man Standing Match with Seth using the ring steps to somehow pin “The Fiend” to the ground, just to protect “The Fiend” in this loss a little so we can separate these two performers and very quickly find something new and different for these three characters/performers to do in new feuds.

Cain Velasquez vs. the WWE Champion Brock Lesnar: my pick is Cain Velasquez, based on three reasons; one it would make a star overnight, two I can easily see Rey Mysterio or Dominic or both getting involved, third and finally I don't want to see or experience another long, uneventful and boring Lesnar Championship reign, the more time I spend thinking about this; the more time I can speculate when/where the rematch will take place how about WrestleMania 36, you see between now and then they could build up Velasquez, meanwhile Lesnar is busy with sitting at home and when he can be bothered to show up they could do this feud between Rey Mysterio with Dominic, after dealing with them he is coming for Velasquez at WrestleMania 36.

The more time I spend thinking about this; the more time I really can't see the downside here, Rey Mysterio Lesnar would work, because Mysterio would make Lesnar look great and for Dominic it would give him more time to grow on screen [may be putting him in a match with Lesnar something like when John Cena took on Kurt Angle in John Cena's debut match,] but don't squash Dominic I want him to have an image of stepping up to the plate and taking a pounding, but wouldn't stay down [yes I have just realized this would require Lesnar to put somebody over, all I can say is miracles do happen now and again] with Velasquez being around this situation but taking care of business as the WWE Champion as well. I mean the storyline I have constructed make sense, it has a purpose and it concludes at WrestleMania 36 I would still keep the WWE Championship on Velasquez after this based on a little bit of research of what I have seen of Velasquez he seems to understand wrestling from the level of you either get it or you don't get it and let's be honest throughout the years Lesnar has just been around this company for the money, but I think if they went with something like this; Mr. McMahon would like a change of champion here, just to irritate his Universe.

I would even consider doing something like this; where Velasquez [the WWE Champion] showing up three times a month [twice on SmackDown and once on the pay-per-view] to make this championship feel prestigious, basically this is what they should have been doing with Lesnar throughout the years, I mean if they want SmackDown to be more sports based, have Velasquez as the new face of it [taking that into consideration I am getting more comfortable with doing this] and give the Intercontinental Championship back its prestige on the other weeks or better yet here is a crazy idea put more focus back on to the women be it the SmackDown Woman's Championship or the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships.

Now I am mostly like 99.9% going to put Velasquez to one side for the next paragraph, I understand the history between these two performers, so it would make sense to do this; but having said that this match is disrespectful to all the other performers/characters that as I have already said work day in and day out for this company; to see two UFC guys in the Main Event slot of a wrestling pay-per-view is disrespectful, especially when Lesnar is just there for the money and nothing else and if the WWE hierarchy don't see this as disrespectful then they need their eyes examined. This is why I put Velasquez to one side because on one hand it doesn't feel right to blame him for what Lesnar has done, he has just taken this opportunity to sign with the WWE, so you cannot blame him for that [so consequently he has been booked in this match] and on the other hand he could be completely different to Lesnar, in every way shape or form, basically I am not willing to tar him with the same brush and not forgetting we also have a professional boxer on this card as well, so if the WWE hierarchy cannot see there is going to be problems [I am not blaming Fury or Velasquez here,] I am specifically aiming at the hierarchy of this company.

Briefly to finish this blog I will tell you this; the only matchs I would be interested in seeing are TBD vs. AJ Styles  Mansoor vs. Cesaro and specifically Velasquez, like I have already said; based on a small piece of research looks like a good performer for now and in the future and has the potential to get much better with experience, so I would watch him [yes if you haven't noticed I am being very, very specific here, because as far as I'm concerned Lessner is just a massive financial burden to the WWE and has been for years. I wouldn't waste my free month subscription or pay to see this pay-per-view or glorified House Show, [Pipe Bomb] but I have already paid for AEW Full Gear 2019, how do you like those apples Mr. McMahon?

Updated: Thursday 31/10/2019 I now realize that Ricochet is part of Team Hogan, but like I said in this blog, I have really lost interest in this company.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers [Season 1,] Episode 47: Reign of the Jellyfish by AverageMansReviews

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers [Season 1,] Episode 47: Reign of the Jellyfish by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is mixed.

5 things about this episode

Storyline/Back stories/Moral message: the storyline is okay, the back stories come to us via putting these items into this time capsule and there is this back story on this monster via Zordon's dialogue exchanges with The Power Rangers. Moving on to the moral message The Power Rangers in their civilian attire talk about what the future could be like [just to cover my back this scene has been presented as a moral message thing.]

Comedy level/Character developments: now we have Bulk & Skull making this very long sandwich on one hand it is funny and on the other hand it shows that these two have pride in their accomplishment [the ending section of this episode.]

This episode receives: 5/10, yes this episode does have a couple of more engagable components to it, but I had reached between 3 to 5 things about an episode and on top of that I couldn't leave Bulk & Skull out of this review, but whatever I put in this episode review, this mark was always going to be the outcome.

My Name Is Lenny 2017 by AverageMansReviews

My Name Is Lenny 2017 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this film is good.

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

Origin storyline/Back story/Storyline: the origin storyline and back story [they can be seen as the same thing,] but if I didn't point this out here I know at some point someone would point this out eventually, they come to us in the form of mental imagery and the storyline is based on real-life events.

Action sequences/Artistic visions/Comedy level: there are weapons being used, combat, boxing, training and chasing, moving on to the artistic visions; singing and instruments. The comedy level they are based in the dialogue exchanges or our lead character/performer not realizing he has been stabbed in the leg, then getting someone to pull it out and then just carrying on with what they are doing at the time.

Character developments/Performances: generally speaking at first all the characters are good, but now to be a little bit more specific I am not condoning anything that our lead role has done, but four things come over very clearly in this project. One this character/performer is a product of his environment growing up. Two this character/performer is mentally unstable and could have done with seeking or receiving medical assistance for this. Three and four deep, deep down this character/performer is a good man and loves his wife and she loves him. Likewise all the performances are good, yes there is chemistry or friction [depending where you are; is depending what you get] and yes things can quickly change with our lead character/performer having this unstable nature as well.

This film receives: 6/10, after everything is said and done this mark is a fair conclusion.


Friday 25 October 2019

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil 2019 by AverageMansReviews

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil 2019 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this sequel is mixed

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

The movement of this sequel is consistently moving, but that is all I can say about that [generally speaking, because I will be discussing this later on at different points in this review the storyline, the character developments/I don't feel comfortable saying the performers are the problem, this will become clear in the character developments/performances section, but everything else in this paragraph stands.]

Back stories/Storyline/Bloopers: early on in this sequel we get a voice-over element [storyteller this only gets used once,] mental imagery and dialogue exchanges, these elements fulfil their purpose and all I can say about the storyline it is heavily predictable, let's just say the Maleficent narrative is good, but the rest not so much and there are three massive bloopers [I don't know how I'm going to discuss these three bloopers; because I realized after watching this and these are fundamental core points to both projects.] But I will try my best not to give too much away, this item is cursed and it has a curse on it specifically for one individual so it shouldn't work on anyone else? On top of that I have more shouldn't the only way to release the individual in question would to do the same thing and finally didn't Maleficent try to lift the curse in the first film and couldn't? So what she does towards the end of this film makes no sense or unless the magic is weaker now [but that would be them clutching at straws a little bit to come up with this] or I may have missed something so just to cover my back I could be wrong here about these three bloopers.

Comedy level: here are two elements for you to look out for/hear; the usage of a crossbow in one scene and pitchforks [listen out for a reference to them.]

Artistic visions/Action sequences: now like its predecessor this project has lots to see and to experience in it; in one way or another such as this highly creative and highly imaginative Queen's head [it something that Batman would use and that is all I'm saying,] musical instruments, dancing and there is this cat. Moving on to the action sequences the usage of this black mystical creature is something that stands out and yes visually [like I have already said from an artistic perspective there is plenty to see and experience.] But from an action sequences perspective; this baffles sequence is okay for what it is; I mean it does what it is designed to do.

Character developments/Performances: well straight off the bat it wasn't too smart to separate Maleficent, Aurora and Diaval for a very high percentage of this sequel, when in the previous project these three characters/performers in different combinations or singly [Jolie] gave that title so much in the first place and yes I have already said that the Maleficent narrative is good.

But for the other two they either get put into a standard narrative for their character or hardly gets seen, so this is why I didn't feel comfortable saying the performers earlier, because it isn't their fault that they had been separated and when they are together in different combinations there is still good chemistry/friction.

Moving on to the newcomers to this sequel it ranges from if this is what they were going for this performer/performers gives it to them or good chemistry/friction and integrates themselves smoothly into this cast [yes it does depend where you are is depending what you get and I still feel nothing for another three returning characters/performers.

This film receives: 4/10, the more it dawns on me; the more I realize that they should have just finished off this different interpretation of Sleeping Beauty and gave Maleficent her own spin-off film title and base her narrative in this project on that spin-off film, on reflection I would have greatly preferred that to this.


Thursday 24 October 2019

Maleficent 2014 by AverageMansReviews

Maleficent 2014 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this film is a mixed

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

Briefly the movement of this project is slow and dull for a heavy majority of the time [the reason why I am being brief here; it is because I will be bringing it up again from a different perspective shortly,] but on reflection you can tell this film is consistently moving with purpose and direction, let's just say you will notice a difference between the opening section roughly, the narratives sections with two main characters in Maleficent and Aurora and one supporting character Diaval [in a different combinations between these characters/performers and the final section roughly [being more consistently moving with purpose and direction.]

Origin storylines/Back stories/Storyline: the viewers get told by voice-over elements [storyteller] and we get shown and it gets discussed in the dialogue exchanges as well and the back stories get the same treatment in one way or another and for those picky people out there, yes I am aware that this film and these three points run into one another, but let's not split hairs too much shall we.

Moving on to the storyline how can I put this; generally speaking it is so dull, I mean I get it there is this role reversal thing going on which is good [I will discuss that more in the character developments/performances,] but seriously the storyline is so dull [minus the sections I have already specifically pointed out in this review.] I mean between these three characters/performers or in different pairings these scenes or narratives or sequences are one of the strongest positives to this project, but other than that I stand by what I said earlier that the rest of it is so dull.

Artistic visions/Action sequences: on both counts these are another positive to this project, the artistic visions are easy to settle down with as there is lots to see when they are in effect be it in the light and fluffy scenes or sequences or in the dark and foreboding scenes or sequences and everything in between, very good mood settings depending what they were going for at that specific time. The action sequences are likewise really easy to engage with, the only negative I have about these is simply this; please more of them in this sequel [yes as of this review I haven't seen the sequel yet.]

Comedy level: in a nutshell and I apologize for this; but in my defence it is what it is and I cannot do anything about that. But between these three characters/performers in different combinations; this is where the comedy feels natural and consequently it comes off as comedy [there is one element where there is throwing of mud or of this substance which involves more characters,] but where there is other comedy elements it just feels really force and consequently it instantaneously loses its appeal whenever it is used in any way shape or form basically if these other three characters/performers were having an audition in front of me I would be saying "Next" within a second or less.

Character developments/Performances: now at this point it shouldn't be any surprise that between these three characters/performers that I keep making reference to; they have good chemistry or friction [depending where you are; is depending what you get] or singly as it relates to Jolie being on her own in some scenes or sequences. The role reversal in this film is a different interpretation to this well-known storyline, it is something I can appreciate and more importantly it isn't too far-fetched or difficult to believe.

Now on to the two honourable mentions, the younger versions of these two characters do a good job bringing these characters to life, I am not going to mention or criticize the character known as Prince Phillip, simply because without giving too much away there isn't enough of him in this title; what can I say; he fulfils his role and for the other characters/performers that are fundamental to this project I feel nothing for them.

This film receives: 5/10, as I have already said this film is mixed and I am hoping the sequel is much better by exploring its strengths and giving its sequel more of direction and purpose instead of these dull sections to this title.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 3, Volume 1, Disc 7] Episode 67: Five Faces of Darkness: Part 2 by AverageMansReviews

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 3, Volume 1, Disc 7] Episode 67: Five Faces of Darkness: Part 2 by AverageMansReviews















Review Time: this is another excellent episode.

Storyline: after seeing a recap with voice-over elements; this episode rotates with gusto from narrative to narrative with narratives merging.

Character developments/Bloopers: well I did say I would discuss Ultra Magnus more later on [in the film review of The Transformers: The Movie, I will leave the link of this review at the bottom] ] so here we are; this character does fulfil his duties as the new leader of the Autobots in the film, but he is the worst out of the three leaders of this generation [I have chosen to be that specific because I don't know about the other generations or TV programs of this franchise.] Optimus Prime is the perfect leader in every way shape or form [I should just say spoiler warning do not read the majority review if you want to watch The Transformers: The Movie1986, you will be fine at the Action sequences/Artistic visions, if you want to read on from there] and Rodimus Prime is young and has a pro-active attitude, amongst other things but has lots of potential to be a great leader of the Autobots one day in his own right, then we have Ultra Magnus; he doesn't have Optimus Prime's presence [yes I have chosen just one element] neither does he have Rodimus Prime's potential to lead the Autobots into the future, I mean in fairness and balance  Rodimus Prime is young yes and consequently at some points it will show, but then again you have to take the rough with the smooth and yes I'm aware that Ultra Magnus wasn't too keen on taking over, but he could have embraced this position and responsibilities better than what he does.

Briefly because I have already spent quite a lot of time talking about the character developments, but I cannot leave this out; Galvatron [leader Decepticon]  in this episode definitely shows, how mentally unstable he is; let's just say when you come to watch this episode, he makes it crystal clear that he is mentally unstable.

Bloopers; on one hand we have these Decepticons that are in a nutshell rundown and then we have Grimlock [in robot mode/leader of the Dinobots] and Rodimus Prime [leader of the Autobots,] firing their weapons, at some point; point blank range and these Decepticons are not going down which they should be and on the other hand another blooper is where Rodimus Prime calls these Decepticons “Cowards!” for them wanting to get physical, when it is Grimlock and Rodimus Prime shooting their weapons point blank range.

Action sequences/Artistic visions: on both counts this episode has lots to offer, be it these two obliterating explosions or finding the answer, I really don't want to give too much away about this point, but it is highly imaginative and yes when you come to watch this episode this will make sense.

This episode receives: 9/10, the viewers of this episode have lots of high-quality elements to enjoy of this episode


Tuesday 22 October 2019

Table 19 2017 by AverageMansReviews

Table 19 2017 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this film is good

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

Back stories/storyline: the back stories either get shown to us or talked about and the storyline is based around this event, but to be a little bit more specific this group of characters/performers that breakaway from this event to have their own narrative and on top of that they have their own little narratives in smaller numbers at some point as well and yes they come back

Artistic visions: there is singing and instruments [band playing] or just singing, here is something for you to look out for; there is this dog in some scenes

Comedy level/Character developments/Performances: these three elements are linked; the comedy level is based around social awkwardness, basically it is something like this; you are in a situation where you are at this event but you know no one around this table [maybe your husband or wife in one situation] but that is it, the viewers can see/feel the social awkwardness [there are other comedy elements.] In this group they all have problems in one way or another be it medical or a history or just problems but together or in smaller numbers they seem to gel [before someone points this out yes there is still friction between the husband and wife characters/performers now and again.] It's like these characters/performers are the social outcasts, but together they are not outcasts, but a functioning group of people that could build these family ties between them without being family. There is good chemistry or friction [depending where you are is; depending what you get] in this cast and these performances are all good especially around Table 19.

This film receives: 7/10, this film is something like The Breakfast Club 1980, but with much older characters with different problems be them medical or not, so as I have already said this film is good.

Wasted: Bray Wyatt’s "Firefly Fun House" by AverageMansReviews

Wasted: Bray Wyatt’s "Firefly Fun House" by AverageMansReviews

Just to give you a heads up: there is no colourful language in this blog, but I will be putting my opinions across firmly I know I usually do this anyway but as it relates to this specific subject you may notice they pop up more often than usual.

Now I have gotten that out of the way with, before I began dictating this blog I watched the destruction of this location and the WWE have really, well and truly screwed up here, this entire gimmick had so much potential to the point where it could have been seen on the same level as Piper's Pit and had the same longevity as well [altogether.]

But no we couldn't have that could we Mr. Vince McMahon, your audiences paying money and your viewers tuning in to see something they want to see, that would make too much common sense now wouldn't it? Hold on here is a crazy idea just bear with me for two seconds this is a crazy, absolutely crazy out of this world idea here. But if you see something clearly working with your audiences/viewers, wouldn't it [like I said just a crazy idea here,] make better sense to at the very least leave it alone or push it a little bit more and see how it goes.

I mean there is a clear problem here with Mr. McMahon not knowing is audiences or viewers or I know he doesn't know wrestling anymore I have three good points to prove my point; Becky Lynch turning her Heel, this was never going to happen because his Universe had decided differently, Roman Reigns returns after a life-threatening medical situation and not putting the Universal Championship on him when once again his Universe wanted to see this happen, I can't tell you how much this irritates me, because without going on about it too much more; in a nutshell you try for many years to get this character/performer over it fails and when you have a second bite of the cherry, but this time around your Universe is accepting and wanting this; you decide that you are no longer interested, this in itself makes absolutely no sense whatsoever and finally this situation, why take it away from once again his Universe when they clearly enjoy it and more importantly want to see it, these are three situations where you could have made lots of money or you have successfully blown this opportunity or you are screwing up, as it relates to Lynch has been given garbage to work with for months before this situation with Banks and Bayley and this now; this situation with Bray Wyatt or "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt or Bray Wyatt’s "Firefly Fun House" or absolutely anything to do with this character/performer.

I mean these characters yes I am referring to both characters of Bray Wyatt’s had to take an unnecessary hit after Hell In A Cell this year, because you couldn't be bothered to focus on this pay-per-view for more than two seconds [in fact there is a high percentage that says he found this situation funny or amusing. Now in fairness and balance if he believes he made a mistake in this situation [which with my years of experience of dealing with this company I find it difficult to believe this was the case.] But here is a perfect rhetorical question if you believe you have made a mistake at this pay-per-view, why would you continue making another mistake on top of that mistake by taking away Bray Wyatt’s "Firefly Fun House?" I mean I didn't believe it when I heard Mr. McMahon made a mistake then [just to cover my back it is something to this effect,] I definitely don't believe it now after this.

The possibilities for these characters/performer including anything to do with this character were endless in this; to the point where no one could see what was coming [this is why Mr. McMahon people wanted to see him/them/other characters,] I mean you didn't have to book them week in and week out either as long as they have a consistent presence in one way or another everyone would have been happy with that, I would have preferred not to see him/them physically week in week out, an episode of "Firefly Fun House" or do something strange mixed with having a week or weeks off, just to keep the illusion of; you have no idea what they are going to do next.

But as things are here and now; I can begin to work out what way they are going with these characters and yes I could be wrong here so this is just speculation. We see more of "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt because there is nothing to hold him back anymore, these two characters/performer and other characters have lost their happy place, so yes in theory it would be interesting to see "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt trying to silence this inner conflict with Bray Wyatt on every level [this would mean as he is wrestling you would have to be struggling with something internally and externally getting furious with the individual that is interrupting him with this inner conflict.]

Basically what this company have done to these two characters/performer and other elements is thrown away 80% of these two characters and entire situation of avenues, material, substance, these two characters had three dimensions to them and the supporting characters brought a lot to the table as well.

So if you think 80% is a very high percentage in a nutshell basically they have streamlined these characters/performer and made him fit into a monster character/character model which we have seen plenty of times before

Well done Mr. McMahon; you have successfully screwed up another golden opportunity, everyone was basically saying don't screw this up and you have. Here is another rhetorical question how is Rollins meant to be a Babyface here?

I mean I'm not a fan of this performer, but you have even screwed him, because if you don't know I will tell you. Generally speaking your Universe don't like him much and this could be used as another reason to not like him more [even though in this case it isn't his fault.]

I will leave things on these two points; this is another example of why people are heading over to All Elite Wrestling or other companies and [leaving things on a Pipe Bomb] secondly the sooner you step down; the sooner your empire will be able to move swiftly forward with putting out modern contents instead of being in the dark ages.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 3, Volume 1, Disc 7] Episode 66: Five Faces of Darkness: Part 1 by AverageMansReviews

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 3, Volume 1, Disc 7] Episode 66: Five Faces of Darkness: Part 1 by AverageMansReviews
















Review Time: this episode is excellent

Warning/Technical issue: from now on until the end of this generation this TV program gets incredibly dark on everything at one point or another if you have children unsuitable for this; you have been warned I mean the intro sequence to this season should tell you on some level this is going to be dark and I think a character dies in this episode [to cover my back this is what it looks like to me right here and now, just in case at some point down the line this is not the case]

Moving on to another technical issue from this TV program [I will leave the blog with the technical issue in it at the bottom.] But in this case on the DVD case it says "Season 3 Volume 1 and when you are on the main screen of this DVD it says "Volume 7"when it should say "Disc 7." Now I'm just using common sense here considering I went from Disc 6 to Volume 7 [Disk 7] so I am going to stick with Disc 7 and I have just noticed when the DVD is loaded it says "Disc 7" as well

Storyline: the storyline has elements of the film The Transformers: The Movie 1986] either with or without voice-over elements in it, I will also leave a link to this blog as well at the bottom, we also have different characters in different narratives at some point in this episode which does come in line with other narratives and then break away again

Blooper: in one narrative we have Springer and Arcee [Autobots,] in this spaceship and they are chasing another spaceship, but this spaceship that they are chasing has changed from the one that started the chase, in fact on a closer inspection the spaceship that began the chase, ends up being used in a different narrative involving Blaster and Outback [Autobots]

Character developments/Action sequences: on both counts there is conflict between the Decepticons in a nutshell "It is survival of the fittest."


This episode receives: 8/10, this mark is a fair conclusion and only quick side note because this ongoing storyline has 5 Parts, depending what is in them [I haven't seen the entirety of this generation of this TV program for some years,] but depending what there is just to try and keep things fresh I may rotate things in and out of these reviews.
