Review Time: this film is good

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

The movement; I don't have much to say about this; because it settles down straight away and it knows what it is doing from beginning to end [including with the fundamental elements as well.]

Back stories/Storyline: they get discussed in the dialogue exchanges or they get monologues and shown to us in this tryout and like the fundamental elements and the movement; the storyline is straightforward but at the same time it is good [this is one of those occasions where, it clearly works so why complicate things which combines all three of these paragraphs so far in this review, so individually or together they are stable, which basically means you can put things in or on top of these components that likewise are stable.

Action sequences/Comedy level/Artistic visions: these three components offer so much; Action; we have weapons being used, combat, chasing, training and outer space. Comedy things going wrong in an action sequence, reading this important letter [but unknown to everyone else minus the reader it is a shopping list, discussing a character/performer's secret identity and separately a body function. Artistic; we have our lead evildoer [Casanova Frankenstein/Rush] being released from this Insane Asylum and the scene where he is in his limousine going back to his home, the audience gets to see this night scene with this limousine and lights and many other things, next we the audience get situated [camera angle/shot] on this bowling ball/character and we get to experience some journeys and the same can be said for our lead evildoer's little finger and yes I did just say little finger [this is in the ending stages of this project.]

Now just to cover my back these components can be seen as a separate element or working with one another for a quick example when we are situated on this bowling ball/character and little finger it is an action sequence as well [I was just thinking I would take the time to point this out before someone else pointed this out for me] and here are some very quick final points in this section this bowling ball looks great, it is something that Johnny Blaze/The Ghost Rider [character from the Marvel franchise] or Scorpion [character from the Mortal Kombat franchise] or Mr. Grimm [character from the Twisted Metal franchise] would be very happy to own this bowling ball/entity and watch out for this water fountain [it is in the background whilst our characters/performers are trying to be very quiet] it has these lights going in a sequence and there is this clown face/head in a scene, it is noticeable and the new costumes in the final section of this film.

Character developments/Performances: the character developments and the performances are all very good, there is this right level without pushing it too far of being too comical, so this project has the right balance of being comical/sensible this entire point will make crystal clear sense when you watch this project; because you get this feeling between these characters/performers yes there is chemistry/friction [depending where you are; it is depending what you get] but it feels natural.

This film receives: 7/10 there is a lot to like about this film; I do like the artistic elements I have pointed out in this review. This is one of those films that you can put it on a Sunday afternoon with the family which is easy to settle down with, but having said that be warned there are two elements of visual death [I was just thinking I would point this out especially after I recommended it to watch we've your family, but now you have been warned] and just before I finish they should have made a sequel to this film; they could still do it today, I mean yes I don't see it happening but they could come out of retirement for one last ride, because Champion City needs them again that reliable storyline.
