5 things about this episode

Warning: there is flashing/colourful/other effects/transformation/medical

The Pan Global Games; Part III: Storyline, Action, Art and Character [Character developments;] these all combined in one way or another, Kimberly's future is uncertain, but after being inspired she enters The Pan Global Games Tryouts/Qualifying Competition and what sequence we see of this routine on the  balance beam/solid beam with background music; this is good.

Kimberly handover the Pink Power Ranger Power Coin to another person [obviously after this episode I will be using the individuals named, but for here and now just work with me.] In the knowledge that it and the powers that come with that are safe and will be responsibly used to defend planet Earth and anyone else that should need The Power Rangers protection or help.

This episode receives: 7/10, this episode is good; it does what it is designed to do which is let Kimberly back flip off into the distance to the next stage of her life. [Before someone points it out as well I know the previous two episodes are building up to this as well, but I'm talking about the specific point of an exit.]

The Pan Global Games; Part II: Characters [Character developments,] Art, and Action; these all combined in one way or another, because of Katherine's act of caring or/and kindness she breaks Rita Repulsa's powerful dark spell over her, consequently she comes clean to Kimberly and Kimberly tells her the very brief version of Tommy's history with the other Power Rangers joining her in their civilian attire.

Garbage Mouth; this would be the monster for this episode; it is a mixture between a lizard and Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street; as this monster has a dustbin lid on his head and yes if you are wondering what is actually the words on his face if or when you come to watch this episode " Welcome  JL House. If you want to look for this with a clear view; you are looking for the split-second after the White Shogunzord powers up [piloted by Tommy/The White Power Ranger]

He also has at least one special ability which can also link him to Oscar the Grouch; he gets this giant trash bin out; which has the ability to capture and imprison all these individual Shogunzords, but they use their combined inner powers of chi or just to cover my back something like this to quickly break out of this trash bin.

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode is excellent; yes this episode does focus more on the drama side of things, which makes an excellent change in itself, but it still offers a lot of enjoyable components to be had.

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/mature themes/shooting/animal cruelty

This is the rise and the downfall, then downfall again of: Prince Andrew Duke of York, Earl of Inverness and Baron Killyleagh/"Randy Andy"/"Air Miles Andy" [Kieran Hodgson]

the pacing of this roughly 60 minutes project, well it is designed using the presentation of a theatre stage production built for TV viewing, so all is good here.

Art: as I have just indicated this is a theatre stage production build for TV viewing so the costumes, set designs and musical numbers is easy on the eyes and likewise easy to settle down with, including voice-over from our lead character over real-life footage.

Character developments and the performances are excellent; you can tell who they are meant to be, this is very much a cast performance and no I didn't forget about the comedy aspect, I must stress before I continue at minimum it is a good and valid point; we have our lead character with his brother Prince Charles [Munya Chawawa] performing this musical number "Your Always Going To Need An Andrew" [I should point out I couldn't find the title of this musical number, so I just chose the words at the beginning and at the end of this number, where Andrew arrogantly points out his value, which as I have already said it is a valid and good point, basically in comparison Prince Charles is the better one out of them, so without Andrew they would focus more on Charles [this production in one way or another makes reference to his history] including a reference to Diana just before referencing Megan.

This film receives: 8/10, this film is excellent: it is a funny take on a truly shady individual, yes I would absolutely take all of his titles away from him and whilst I am there, I would take Prince Harry and Princess Megan Duke and Duchess of Sussex away as well all three of them can go away and live their lives, without protection from The Royal Family or/and make money off the Royal name.

Warning: this TV program is not suitable for children and in one way or another there is adult contents/flashing effects/other effects/transformation/drugs/electrocution/vomiting

The Big Day: Storyline, Action, Character [Character developments, Art; after first declining Harvey Dent/Two-Face's offer to assist him to get out of Arkham Asylum in return he will tell Harley Quinn, what is about to go down at Dr. Pamela Lillian Isley/Poison Ivy and Charles "Chuck" Brown/Kite Man's wedding, it involves  Commissioner Gordon and the GCPD [Gotham City Police Department.] They discuss this simultaneously fighting their way out of Arkham. They are individually or together, treating this as an everyday occurrence, putting foot to posterior and without much effort casually discussing things as they know, the security of Arkham probably know deep down and we the viewers know likewise deep down that they are no challenge for this duo and just to cover my back I am more aware that Quinn made reference to escaping when she was good and ready anyway; this sequence is far from the biggest but we get to see some excellent blood splatter.

This episode receives: 7/10, this episode is good; it is a solid ending to this second season, but I am hoping they push on from this now established situation on to something new and as things stand this TV show has some awards accredited to its name, such as 4 Winners that include Critics Choice Super Awards 2021; CCA Super Award Best Voice Actress in an Animated Series Kaley Cuoco [Dr. Harleen Quinzel/Harley Quinn] and 15 Nominees including from the same award event/ceremony Best Voice Actor in an Animated Series J.B.

A continuation of a continuation: Action, Art Storyline, and Comedy; we have Diana Prince/Wonder Woman, Bruce Wayne/Batman and Kal-El/Clark Kent/Superman taking on these Parademons, which this sequence looks excellent as there Wonder Woman using her sword to let's put this politely quickly take one less Parademon down at a time obviously this sequence of events looks and feels manic and impactful and imaginative. A moment later Wonder Woman uses her The Lasso of Truth on this Parademon which she asks where is Dr. Psycho? Which Parademon replies with a squawk which in turn Wonder Woman to Superman to imply “What did this Parademon just say?" With that Superman takes a little bit of offence by saying “Oh what because I am an alien I understand all alien languages?" [We return to look at Wonder Woman with a soft look on her face to imply “So you don't speak Parademon?" Which we go back to Superman " Okay I speak a little Parademon, but it's still a racist assumption be better." [We go back to Wonder Woman which she just rolls her eyes and looking angry mini seconds before the end of this scene] to imply "I just wanted to know what this Parademon had said, I didn't want this verbal telling off." I know some people out there will see this as racism, but I see it as it was intended as good comedy.

This episode receives: 9/10, this episode is excellent; as it has lots happening all over the place.

Emily 2022 by AverageMansReviews

Emily 2022 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time

Warning: there is drugs

The black sheep of the Brontë family: Emily Jane Brontë [Emma Mackey] is/was precisely this; as this film takes a look at a section of her life building on to and slightly after her first novel Wuthering Heights in 1847.

The pacing of this 130 minutes film is good; it elegantly and smoothly moves throughout.

Art; the wardrobe, accessories, scenery and so on and so forth also welcomes its audience to spend some time with this cast and in these locations as well.

But our main focus has to be the character developments and the performances; and how these surrounding characters/people [these people being most of her own family] A. Didn't understand or choose to get to know Emily; for being Emily and B. Choosing to actively shame her or I may as well just say it as it is screw her up or screw her over. Don't get me wrong and I don't see this as a bad thing; but she did based on this film see the world differently to others and she comes across as a withdrawn person, which once again based on this film I can understand why with the surrounding characters. I am fully aware I have just said that she was withdrawn, but also she was a wild child if or when she was encouraged or allowed to let her hair down or be herself for these small hours.

Even though this film is set in many years ago, many, many years ago there is a cautionary tale here; of basically allow your children to be themselves and experience life, consequently fingers crossed and with best wishes they should turn out balanced adults okay with some bad experiences may be, but on the whole well adjusted individuals. I just look at Emily and think what could she have achieved with without her family making things difficult for her, I will even meet you halfway by saying if you could have had her happiness back [this will make better sense if or when you watch this film,] for even in comparison for a short time, you never know how this could of affected her outlook in a positive sense.

So good performances from this cast minus Emma Mackey as Emily Jane Brontë; this is an excellent performance, on a little bit of research I now know a little bit about her, but still relatively nothing [full disclosure I have seen her in another film, and I am just very much going off her list of films; Death on the Nile 2022 Link if you are interested https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2022/02/death-on-nile-2022-by-averagemansreviews.html . But my point is this; hopefully she can get some more leading roles in films because of this performance. Okay on a little bit more research she will be starring in the upcoming I can't believe I'm going to say this [I do remember now I think it was Ryan Gosling  or Margot Robbie I can’t remember which one or both at different times talking about this film but either way never mind, but I still can't believe it is happening and yes on a quick side note I know there are many Barbie animated feature length projects;] but the upcoming Barbie film as things are scheduled to be released in 2023; Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken.

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; I was stuck between one number or the other, they both mean good, but I just went with a one on reflection I could justify easier than the other as the other looked a bit too harsh. Yes this film has awards accredited to it such as three awards including Dinard British Film Festival 2022 Best Performance Emma Mackey and 3 Nominees including Frances O'Connor Sitges - Catalonian International Film Festival 2022 Official Fantàstic Competition Best Motion Picture.

Surrogates 2009 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time

Warning: there are flashing effects/colourful effects/robotics/shooting/stabbing/drugs/suicide/electrocution/hit-and-run/animal cruelty/medical

With the best intentions becomes big consequences: the viewers get given this massive back story on the creation of this mechanical program known as "Surrogates" invented by Dr. Canter [James Cromwell] but many years later the world is a very different place Surrogates can go and live your life for you without you needing the house, basically you are linked into your Surrogate. There are some people that choose to live a normal life these are called "Dreads"/"Human Coalition" that our lead by Zaire Powell or better known to his followers as "The Prophet" [Ving Rhames,] but FBI Agent Geer [Bruce Willis] and his partner FBI Agent Peters [Radha Mitchell;] they investigate this homicide. [Yes this is one of those situations that is as much as I can say without giving too much of the storyline away.] 

The pacing of this 89 minutes film is slow and steady

Action: the viewers can see what these surrogate robotic bodies are capable of [depending on what model you pick up] as we can see in this film they can run faster and jump higher.

Character developments and performances: they are what they are; meaning solid versions of what they are meant to be on both counts.

This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed; it is a solid film, but as I have already referenced is slow and steady. Don't get me wrong if there are any fans of Bruce Willis out there in Internet land, take a look at this film I just wouldn't expect too much.

See How They Run 2022 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/ animal cruelty/strangling/shooting/cutting

Our backdrop is West End of London in the 1950s: there has been a murder at the celebration of Agatha Christie's Mousetrap 100th performance at this venue, Inspector Stoppard [Sam Rockwell] and Constable Stalke [Saoirse Ronan] gets sent in to investigate and hopefully solve this case, but Inspector Stoppard is not overly happy that it will be just these two working together as his partner for this case is a woman and she is very new to all of this [before you get outraged by his sexist outlook, can I just remind you and I am not condoning this; but this was the 1950s.] The pacing for this 98 minutes film is good, but this is one of those occasions where I'm going to hand it over to one of these characters/performers in this film. First little example of the comedy [I will make reference to other comedy bits that this film has to offer as well at points through in this review,] but I digress; our partnership and we the viewers meet Mervyn Cocker-Norris [David Oyelowo] as he tells us why he had an argument with Leo Köpernick [Adrien Brody,] because they had different visions on the movie adaptation of Agatha Christie's Mousetrap, they both wanted to take it in completely different directions. The pacing and comedy lays where as he is finishing describing Köpernick's vision, the audience should be able to pick up on already this is how See How They Run 2022 operates from time to time with the flashbacks when it is appropriate and to nail this comedy element home we have this Cocker-Norris making reference to words on-screen " Three Weeks later on-screen" and a moment later they appear on-screen in this film, so the comedy itself is a tone of highbrow in its delivery and quickwitted.

Art: this is very clear to see as it grabs its viewers as soon as the film begins, what with its scenery, costumes and accessories and so on; this film is clean and tidy well presented crime drama.

Character development and performances; the character developments and performances are all good, in particular our lead partnership of Inspector Stoppard [Sam Rockwell] and Constable Stalke [Saoirse Ronan;] we have this jaded Inspector with this eager Constable that wants to progress in her career, but there was a running joke in this film where she keeps jumping to conclusions including in one occasion, for a little bit of action she breaking this door through/down, but if she had been a little bit more investigative, she would have found out that looked door has a key under the mat as Mervyn Cocker-Norris tries to tell her simultaneously as she breaks in.

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; on reflection this mark is the right outcome, it is a pleasant throwback to the 1950s.

Review Time:

5 things about this episode

Warning: this TV program is not suitable for children and in one way or another there is adult contents/flashing effects/other effects/biting/stabbing/impaling/decapitation/disfigurement/drugs

This is another situation of a continuation of the previous episode: Storyline, Character [Character developments,] Comedy, Action; well the Joker is back and he soon has flashbacks of what has happened to him over the past six months as this bartender, with this lovely nurse by the name of Bethany nursed him back to health, they have been in a relationship including her two children.

Later on we have Harley Quinn and the Joker searching around this hive of Parademons looking for The Book of Fables; which they find the book right next to these two Parademons which are snuggling, but they are asleep; unfortunately one of them hicups which brings up this green acid which as you will see in this scene has the ability to mount through right to the bone/skull of the other Parademons; this is highly comical. On their escape they get rumbled by a Parademon which I am paraphrasing here alerts other Parademons. So we have these Parademons taking on the Joker with a crowbar or something like that Quinn with her baseball bat in one hand and this book under her other arm, when you think it can't get any worse for these two individuals, they get rescued/imprisonment by the Batplane as Bruce Wayne/Batman makes his entrance by smashing through a wall of this hive quickly releasing a net over Quinn and the Joker; this net is connected to the Batplane which he brings them on board still in the net; like everything else said or mentioned in this review this is lots of fun.

This episode receives: 10/10, this episode is top-notch entertainment; everywhere you look there is something happening of fantastic interest and engagement.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever 2022 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/stabbing/impaling/cutting/medical/childbirth/slavery/drowning/burning/electrocution/triggering colonialism or/and racism.

Well it is good, but it has its problems: in a nutshell; we are back at Wakanda; Shuri [Letitia Wright] as she is frantically molecularly trying to re-structure The Heart-Shaped Herb to heal her brother King of Wakanda T'Challa/The Black Panther [Chadwick Boseman,] her last attempt had a reasonable to good but not convincingly charms of working, with time running out it is one of those at this point; where she will take anything, but the sands of time ran out on her and him. The Black Panther will prowl and protect Wakanda and its people again. As the honour, responsibility and mantle gets passed down from brother to sister Shuri/The Black Panther [Letitia Wright,] but she is reluctant to wear the responsibility, but she me quickly want to change her mind as a man from the waters The King of Talokan Namor [Tenoch Huerta] offers in one hand an alliance between their people to go up against the society on land or any other certain destruction of Wakanda, before attacking those on land.

The pacing of this 161 minutes film [yes I didn't misspeak this figure it is actually 161 minutes long,] is firstly; the first problem with this film; I'm going to speculate here for the first hour or even more, this project has the unique yet unwanted uniqueness of feeling drifts a long yet being progressive [I know what I just said here is a contradiction.] I have a better description for it; over here in the UK the soap operas used to the previous week’s episode on Sunday so that if you missed any of them, you could always have a lazy Sunday afternoon and watch them back to back and so on. This is how this film feels and looks like; meaning now and again you may get some noteworthy elements or you are just happy you missed that episode the first time around, because not much actually happened. But when this film actually decides to get going, if you haven't fallen asleep by then, which the person I went to go and see this film with did now and again; we will actually get to see and feel this is actually an MCU [Marvel Cinematic Universe] project.

The natural art such as the scenery, the wardrobe, the cultural representation should and indeed get given high praise and including the special effects for the underwater sequences or anything else I have missed off this list other than what I am going to specifically bring up now. Because onto the second problem; this sequel uses these slow motion effects in these action sequences for a very small amount of times which the first time you will say " That is eye capturing art in these action sequences." But it is one of those annoying situations where the more you do something even though it is only done a small amount of times in this film; they run the risk of getting diminished returns, so for an example; in my case it goes from high praise to "Okay the 1999 and 2000's have called and they want their effect back." You see if you weren't born from around this point in history Hollywood used it to death be it in general films or/and 3-D films, so as I have been doing this kind of thing for a long time now, I was 25 when I started I am currently 39, so I have seen the rise and this effect be squashed into the ground and I acknowledge that it has a tiny purpose like once in every film if it must be used purpose, but other than that it has to offer something completely different or better than the first time it was used. I mean this is the price for Hollywood basically running it into the ground for a period of time regardless of in this case it only gets used a very small amount of times. Now slightly moving on the action sequences are generally speaking good; you know minus the slow motion effects there is good combat and so on and so forth.

Character developments: colonialism [there are other racial content, I am just going to discuss this one because it is large and crystal clear with gigantic flashing lights on:] well for a sequel that has problems which I have already outlined based on my opinion, now before I continue I just want to cover my back by saying I don't care if this is or isn't in the comic books, I'm just speaking from the perspective of 2022 and I am speaking from the perspective of being neutral. We come onto the third problem with this film title; we have the American and French Governments frankly tone of demanding on the behalf of the United Nations to share resources including Vibranium as they sit there having this demanding tone; the Queen Mother of Wakanda Ramonda [Angela Bassett] responds with in a nutshell and basically paraphrasing it is our policy to never share Vibranium, because we can only trust ourselves with it. With this she has a surprise for them Ayo/General of Wakanda's security/forces [Florence Kasumba] walks in with other members of her forces with Black Ops from both countries with the Queen Mother of Wakanda Ramonda direct speech of paraphrasing next time we will not be so lenient.

To begin with this situation happens and conclusion happens early in the film, I mean really early in the film, so essentially am going to say something really triggering, because I am fully aware of the world we are and probably will be living in for decades to come. Basically what we have here is colonialism, yes I had to do some research on this just to make sure I had the right word and furthermore yes I am from this part of the world the British Empire which had more of its fair share in. But as it relates to this film we have essentially colonialism from a Caucasian American, a Caucasian French and possibly other Caucasian beings represented here by these two individuals from the United Nations. I mean how much of a basic description do you want of colonialism; you can give us your Vibranium or we will take it by force, yet again because I am dealing with a sensitive subject I don't care if the United Nations in this film are willing to maybe or maybe not trade something in return, there is nothing they could/can trade for Vibranium, so that is why I am more than comfortable suggesting is basically colonialism as I have already said you can give it to us or we can take it by force.

Which leaves this film wide like the Grand Canyon wide open for criticism, negativity and plenty of ammunition for people that have been criticising the MCU for years, the woken section of our society and others to basically I'm going to put this as politely as I can tear this sequel a new posterior hole.

Yes I did say I am neutral, which is true but from my perspective it is crystal clear in what it is saying it implying in a very direct manner, I mean they couldn't even use the subtle approach of allowing their audience to connect the dots on their own, which would have been a much better way of doing it. Because at least this way you could elegantly and smartly suggest what is being said without being direct and aggressive.

But as things stand; unfortunately I'm just going to tell you how it is; which is they have baited their fishing line to receive backlash and trust me they will get it, because I have already seen some of it full disclosure just thumbnail titles and nothing more; when I am first dictating this; so as a 39-year-old man I would love to give you a sarcastic clap and say well done good job; for essentially baiting a portion of your audience and others are possibly getting fed up of this. You speak to Marvel fans they are not generally speaking against different cultures, against I say this with respect and kindness the alphabet community or anyone that may be different, because we are generally speaking and open-minded community, but as soon as you make it I'm going to say clumsy political meaning direct without making the point smart or elegant or at the very, very least a bit strong but good point. Then we tend to get a little bit funny and for those that may be our African-American, or any other culture for that matter I am not saying they have to sugarcoated, because some points have to be made for an example in this the United Nations scene. But it is how you put the message across and being brutally honest but absolutely fair as this scene is; it looks and feels like someone had taken their massive dump and smeared it throughout this scene; from an neutral perspective the Marvel Studios better get ready for the backlash, because it is coming and it is deserved.

The other character developments and performances; they are all good, but I am hoping when Shuri/The Black Panther [Letitia Wright;] spends more time around more established MCU characters in her new life, their experience or/and wisdom rub off on to her like the previous generations of the MCU have done for the following generation or generations, so I don't see this too harshly just more of an observation she does good in this film, but she needs to be around MCU characters that in comparison she is green and consequently she can still be herself, but learn from experienced individuals around her.

This film receives: 6/10, this film is good; but as I have already referenced but it does have its problems, there is one extra credit scene after the first lot of ending credits. When this was being first dictated this project had 2 Nominees to its name from the same award ceremony/event Hollywood Music In Media Awards (HMMA) 2022 HMMA Awards Best Original Song - Feature Film Tems Rihanna Ludwig Göransson Ryan Coogler Song: "Lift Me Up" Best Original Score - Sci-Fi Film Ludwig Göransson.

Average Extra of: The Hypocrisy of the United Kingdom & the United States of America towards Jeremy Clarkson 2022 by AverageMansReviews

Average Extra of: The Hypocrisy of the United Kingdom & the United States of America towards Jeremy Clarkson 2022 by AverageMansReviews

A friendly heads up: I will be discussing and saying some things that some of you are not going to like, so you can either leave and have a good festive period and I wish you my best for the New Year a head or you can take a risk and read what I have to say and because I haven't said this for a while I don't allow adult words in my content, but I do use a softer ways of using different words to express myself and it will have potentially offensive content.

Real Talking Time:

Now to be honest this content stems from the outrage over Jeremy Clarkson's column published in the Sun newspaper "At night, I'm unable to sleep as I lie there, grinding my teeth and dreaming of the day when she [Meghan] is made to parade naked through the streets of every town in Britain while the crowds chant 'Shame!' and throw lumps of excrement at her. Has since done a backhanded apology [this means he has apologised, but not really] by saying I've rather put my foot in it. In a column I wrote about Meghan, I made a clumsy reference to a scene in Game of Thrones and this has gone down badly with a great many people. I'm horrified to have caused so much hurt and I shall be more careful in future."

Ever since this situation has happened, I have been amazed by the outcry and let me make this crystal clear I am neutral on this entire situation. But just in case you're wondering how can I be neutral? This is easy, on reading and making sure I have read it correctly I found someone to read it online, because I am dyslexic. So when I read it or understood it completely, I said Well that is Jeremy Clarkson, being Jeremy Clarkson for you."

Because as of this content I am heading into my 40's I know how to deal with people of this mind set and advancing age and it is very simple; just ignore them, I mean I am not saying Jeremy Clarkson is or was trying to stir up some controversy or just putting his opinion out there [which this is probably more of the case,] but however and this is completely speculation; if it was his intended purpose to manufacture some controversy. I would say he has very much achieved his objective with flying colours.

The more I heard from different perspectives which they are entitled to make from the US and some in the UK, the more I was like okay you have had your say move on. But it hasn't blown over so the more I heard, the more I would like "You want to be careful." Now I am at the point where okay I have had enough; Because everyone keeps talking about their right to have an opinion and a prospective, the freedom of speech and so on and so forth.

Which this is true, but the problem with this is obviously this; you may say all of this about freedom of speech, but your argument already has a giant hole in it and it would be the fact based on your own prospective that "If I am entitled to the freedom of speech and my opinion, that means anyone else from a different perspective is entitled to their own opinion and perspective." Including Jeremy Clarkson, now on a word to word basis I don't see any adult language words in his comments and when I say any adult words I am talking about the ones that if it was spoken language they would have to be bleeped out.

He passes that checkpoint clear; check, the content is dark, but remember freedom of speech; check, Clarkson is well-known for going on a verbal visual imagination rant anyway. I am not inside his head, but behind this article lays a sentiment of frustration which is understandable. Because yes I haven't seen the documentary, but for the fact that they have now got their freedom from The Royal Family [and no I am not a royalist] and they aren't going away and living their lives as they wanted to, but sticking around and irritating a section of our society. Whilst in the UK we are struggling for one reason or another to basically live and you have these two wealthy individuals airing their dirty laundry for lots and lots of money yes I know Clarkson is extremely wealthy himself, but even by the sound of it he is getting fed up of the consistent situation around these two in particular I know in the interest of fairness and balance it is also The Royal Family as well.

Now I have advised people or I have been told by people on a social media platform "If you don't like what I am saying you don't have to reply."So let's take two seconds to analyse this if I don't like or I have said this to another person. I may be brain-damaged but even I can work out surely this method works for not reading the Sun newspaper?

Now you may remember I said this earlier "You want to be careful." Now I am at the point where okay I have had enough. First things first I'm going to begin at home meaning in the United Kingdom if a comedian from a different section of our politics landscape had said something similar to Clarkson that would be okay, but as it is from Clarkson from a different perspective of politics it is wrong and let me remind you everyone keeps talking about freedom of speech and/or using it when it suits them to fit into their narrative.

Secondly because I am lower down in our social pecking order as in disabled with mental health issues on top. Let me make you aware of the fact that I have to deal with unpleasant people online and in the real world telling me/expressing themselves in any way that they see fit; so I'm just going to tell you some classic examples roughly " Your Mum should had an abortion, because you are a waste in society" or I had these three gentlemen walk up to me after going to a concert many years ago, telling me "I have a right to kill you, because you are an non-contributing member of society and God gives me that right. Which I should now point out I come from the alternative lifestyle choice, which means you have a lot of hairy men with body piercings and women with let's just say loud dress sense when you see them including I had some friends and members of my family and all we were doing where waiting for a taxi. So things quickly escalated where some people overheard what was transpiring, which some more people overheard including my uncle wanting to let's just say wanted to respond with a physical response which my brother and my uncle's son had to hold him back at some point, a cause my wheelchair had broken down as well and some of these people just pointed out that you are outnumbered and we are just here to have fun so go away or we suggest you go away." Luckily enough that taxi showed up and these three religious gentlemen quickly retreated and everyone went their separate ways, because I don't know what you have heard about people from the alternative lifestyle but most of us, want to live peacefully and doing our own thing. The final example I can give you is being called a spastic, which I am one. But apart from the threat to my life these would be civil matters which basically means if I wanted to prosecute somebody I would have to pay, but if I was to call someone a racial word, besides my content creating life being pretty much over, it is now a criminal matter which means I would be arrested [I am just going to leave that there.]

Now on to the US; so let me get this right most of you are disgusted by Jeremy Clarkson's comments; so let me tell you; your country is founded on the idea of freedom of speech and the right to bear arms Constitutional 1778 [but it is now almost 2023; when this was first dictated, so it is distinctly possible that this isn't sitting within the modern world] including but not forgetting seen ethnic backgrounds as different levels of your society [I know the UK has  a similar issue with people of different ethnic backgrounds as well we could do better/we should aim to do better] and taking away a woman's right to have an abortion in some states, before I receive backlash which I am probably going to anyway, I should state I know as it relates to the political/judges system in the US I know the very basics so it is hard to get things overturned which I acknowledge that.

I keep getting told I am gaslighting, this is false; I am simply pointing out in the manner that the US is dealing with Jeremy Clarkson is just wow and I did say everyone is entitled to their opinion and views, but we are talking about words here and once again freedom of speech works both ways. As I have been dictating this I have seen on social media the this newspaper in question has issued an apology for the article, firstly they shouldn't have had to based on the freedom of speech thing, but secondly now they have that be the end of it. But everyone knows it won't, until the council culture gets their pound of flesh and I hate being right I have just had a quick scan of some of these comments I am paraphrasing here but in a nutshell they are saying it is too late and they want their pound of flesh.

Well if the truth was known; I wasn't going to put in this massive, massive, massive point, in all truth I could vaguely remember it and then I remembered it once someone mentioned it in their content. But I am still in two minds if I want to put it in or not, so as you can tell I went in with the thought process of in for a penny, in for a pound. And I should warn you this will definitely be a mic drop moment. But didn't one of your President's in recent years insight allegations/false information [ which to this very day is supporters still believe] which ended up with the US Capitol Building being overtaken by his supporters [and I use that term loosely,] where people died and obviously some are now in prison? My point being if an Ex-President cause this amount of damage and harm, the United States of America has no place to complain about in comparison someone lower down on the pecking order of the United Kingdom broadcasting network in the form of Jeremy Clarkson.

I mean here is a great idea how about you get on with your life, especially over this festive period and enjoy your family; you know unlike the people in Ukraine being in a war-torn country and fighting for their country and lives, because I know there are some people that enjoy twisting words my point is simply this; get a perspective on life and Happy Holidays and Best Wishes for 2023.

When dookie hits the fan; you send a criminal to catch a criminal: this is precisely what happens when Captain Anna Shea [Miranda Edwards] does to capture this individual known as "The Christmas Bomber," because of this individual's character development, being secretive for a little while I can't put his identity down and his group calling themselves "The Real Saints of Christmas," this individual's right-hand man is Dajon [Cody Kearsley/I know on some website it says Colby Lopez a.k.a. Seth Rollins, but to cover my back on the actual ending credits it says the first performer, I don't know what went wrong here, they look vaguely similar, but when they talk it gives the game away, hence why I didn't pick up on it when I heard this performer's voice.] Captain Anna Shea [Miranda Edwards] goes to James Edwards Knight/James Knight/Detective James Knight [Bruce Willis] who is awaiting trial for things that happened in the previous film Detective Knight: Rogue 2022 Link if you want to see it,  but I digress and could have escaped when things went sideways but didn't is given the task to apprehend The Christmas Bomb which in exchange the District Attorney will drop all the charges against him

The pacing of this 93 minute film is like the rest of it solid and it sticks to the plan.

We have some comedy in the dialogue exchanges and a recurring comedy reference our lead role at the end of the film says yes I have to censor this "Happy Christmas mother lover" where in the previous film exchange Christmas for Halloween.

Action: now we get onto the biggest selling point of this sequel we get to see James Edwards Knight/James Knight/Detective James Knight [Bruce Willis] taking care of business as only Bruce Willis can, it isn't anything major but it is just good to see Bruce Willis still being able to solidly be an action actor.

Character developments and performances: they are all solidly good minus under that character types and performances minus, but you can still see, feel that Bruce Willis the action star is still in him which is good to see, feel and experience.

This film receives: 5/10, this film is mixed; as I have already referenced this is just a solid film, it knows what it is and sticks to it and I should just point out there is one extra sequence after the first lot of credits, but to leave this review on a positive at least this sequel is much better than its predecessor.

Well this was awful: this crime lord Winna [Michael Eklund] and because he doesn't want to get his hands dirty he has this small group of criminals doing jobs for him; this group is led by Casey Rhodes [Beau Mirchoff.] These two Los Angeles Detective's James Knight [full disclosure I don't know if the young child is this character or not, if I had to guess most probably bad I have no performer and name or indication of character name/Adult: Bruce Willis] and Godwin Sango [Jimmy Jean-Louis] are on the case especially when Knight's previous partner Detective Eric Fitzgerald [once again full disclosure on his character description it doesn't say detective but as they were partners I am going with a guess] was badly short by Rhodes on their last job. There is one other thing I should just point out Knight is a rogue detective [I know this is self-explanatory based on the title of this film,] but he is in the back pocket of Winna as well and Sango stumble upon. Well I say that when it happens it isn't exactly quiet it is more like a foghorn saying "I am a crooked detective!" But in fairness and balance Winna made him do this. But it is incredibly poor and stupid character developments I know this crime lord is very difficult to touch in a legal sense, but you wouldn't just shine a massive light on it as I have just indicated.

The pacing for this 105 minutes film is well I have seen snails move much quicker than this film ever does.

The only action sequence and the only comedy smidgen is when Knight uses this line obviously censored “Happy Halloween mother lover" and then momentarily later shoots the individual in question.

The character developments and the performances; are generally speaking including what I said earlier are on the whole like watching paint dry yes Willis makes these safe and reliable character developments and puts in a good performance when he is on screen. I am taking nothing away from him, but what were the pacing and everything else he is just trying to make lemonade out of some old lemons which this is very much the only positive of this film.

This film receives: 1/10, this film is poor; what do you want me to say about this film, it is a first of a trilogy and this film has Bruce Willis in it. So if there are any fans out there of his, take a look at this film but I would suggest set your expectations incredibly low, like an ant could with great ease pole vault over them and yes I acknowledge that this film has a positive in the form of Willis, but everything else about it works as a counterbalance.
