Two half brothers; One hell of a butt kicking team: briefly; when their father has been killed; these two estranged half brothers team up to serve their own brand of unique justice; Cmdr James Hale [David Batista:] he is the oldest, he is also a Navy Seal; frogman; now training other Navy Seals to be frogmen as well. Jonny Hale [Jason Momoa:] he is a cop well kind of; meaning he is currently suspended for using excessive force and clearly likes his drunk.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script, character developments and framework and pacing of this 124 minutes film is something solidly good, but somewhat predictable on all counts, so the framework and pacing is straightforward; there is a much more I can say that it really; it is something fundamentally sound and it just gets on with the task really.

Action, comedy and art; there is a good righty of action throughout this film which is also from time to time complemented by the other two elements; such as broadly speaking Jonny has some unwelcome individuals in his home as he is going to the bathroom; where he makes a deposit on someone's shoes, where this high octane action sequence unfolds; where the camera shots go from first person shooter perspective briefly to birds eye perspective; it gives the sequence of events much more of a firstly a more of a immersive experience and high quality and if you think they missed out the action don't worry I didn't, it is just sometimes in this movie they can be graphic, don't worry James gets his own chaotic sequence much later on; as without giving too much away; they have to enter this location and in this situation we have James on his own taking out these hench-people and because this location is made of glass and because the camera shot is designed to basically scroll along; you won't miss any of the violence or blood and yes finally I can reassure you at some point we do get Jonny vs. James and on top of that we even get a reference to John Cena.

Character developments and performances; on both counts they are all good, but as I referenced earlier character developments are easy to read, so you can predict future events, okay I wasn't completely right but very much in the same ballpark. This cast of performers have good chemistry between them and they very much backup Batista and/or Momoa; which them themselves have excellent free-flowing chemistry and at some point or another they should really consider doing another project together at some point in the future.

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; but in one way or another as I have already indicated, it does follow a simple yet effective, but also predictable outlay, which if there was to be a sequel in the future, this also would be predictable, if you read between the lines, but to leave things on a positive as things are; they are good fun and I would have given something higher if this film wasn't so predictable.

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects in these trailers and there will be some censored adult language and a drug references in this content

Real Talking Time:

My reaction: I have seen the 67 seconds version of this trailer, so quick question did someone get stoned on Mary Jane one night and think let's make a documentary/movie about the first Lady of the United States of America Melania Trump, because if this is the case I can completely understand why this film came to be, meaning you have to be stoned out of your ever loving mind to think this was a great idea in the first place, then again those that at every stage green lighting this movie would also have to be stoned at some point or another as well. What the Fudge! I have just seen the budget for this project and it was $40 million... how the hell did they get to that figure? This project looks like garbage and just for a moment let's put to one side the subject matter, I am just talking about how it actually looks and I have seen better things come out that my posterior after a night of spicy food.

But now discussing the entirety of this; it looks like an attempt of a soft puff piece to make this current US Government/dictatorship look and feel relatable of such a manure standard, in fact yes I have already informed the person that I watch some of this content with; that I will if I can find this project on at the cinema at a suitable time we will probably be going to see it. Because if you are into bad films/bad projects that weirdly this project might have to be seen just to see how bad it actually is and I know it is not its intended purpose, but it is so bad on that first impression that it is actually comical a little and for those extremely insensitive people out there, allow me to make myself crystal clear, I am not saying or encouraging people to see this project in the slightest, but I have been around films and projects long enough to know that there are some people out there that enjoy garbage projects and this project right here reeks of a steaming pile of manure.

My prediction for this movie: 2/10, just based on as I have repeatedly said or indicated in one way or another it is a garbage project, but a garbage project that could be unintentionally more comical the more you watch of it as this trailer made me laugh.

Kuma: Character [Character developments,] Storyline, Action and Comedy; this is Daisy's pet/family pet: it is a little strange to be honest; as it has the hybrid genetic  qualities of raccoon and a monkey; this creature likes to be involved; such as when this priceless piece of jewellery is stolen; sometime later we have Dan and Kuma eventually getting on a unicycle [Dan on the bottom and Kuma on his shoulders] still chasing down this individual that is now on a bicycle with this mobile pretzel business facility on board so this individual throws some pretzels but what he didn't account for was Kuma eats the pretzels.

This episode receives: 7/10, this episode is good; I mean it isn't as strong as the recent previous episodes, but it still very much keeps the momentum going nonetheless.

In-depth Predictions/Other elements for WWE Royal Rumble 2026 by AverageMansReviews

Women's Royal Rumble Match; 30-woman Royal Rumble match for a world championship match at WrestleMania 42: Charlotte Flair: to choose the WWE Women's Champion Jade Cargill for her opponent at this year's WrestleMania: Then Raquel Rodriguez via winning the Women's Elimination Chamber Match to take on the Women's World Championship Stephanie Vaquer.

Sami Zayn vs. Champ Drew McIntyre; Singles Match for the Undisputed WWE Championship: I really truly don't care about this match, so I will just move on.

AJ Styles vs. Walter; Career Threatening Match; If Styles loses, he will be forced to retire from in-ring competition: likewise I really don't feel anything about this match slot, I think it is because I am still burned out from the WWE from the last two years or more what with Roman Reigns/Bloodline and then John Cena's Retirement Tour and now this; I like meh.

Men's Royal Rumble Match; 30-man Royal Rumble match for a world championship match at WrestleMania 42: Roman Reigns: to hopefully choose the WWE World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk for a showdown at this year's WrestleMania, with fingers crossed Oba Femi via the Men's Elimination Chamber Match Oba Femi to take on the Undisputed WWE Champion Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 42 with his championship on the line.

Now for something a little bit more; hopefully we also have Cody Rhodes vs. Chris Jericho; because Jericho screws Rhodes somehow out of a championship opportunity at the Royal Rumble and then again at the Elimination Chamber consequently wrestling and WrestleMania and if Seth Rollins returns he gets eliminated from the Royal Rumble Match by Bron Breakker, consequently they have a match at Mania; I would like to see a Hell In A Cell Match to keep other members of The Vision out.

Daisy Darrett: Character [Character developments,] Storyline, Action and Art; she is the youngest sibling of the Darrett family/Pole Position Team, when she gets older she wants to be a more active member of the team, but for now she has to keep things steady in this location; whilst her sister and brother go and investigate this car factory; which Dan uses his driver’s seat with his helmet and seatbelt on as this seat turns into a rocket powered chair so he can get over this highly charged electric fence and make his way into this building; what can I say... I really enjoy the high level of imagination, inventiveness and creativity to come up with these ideas and then to play them out, so I only have one question left; where can I get one of these chairs from? As I really want one for Christmas any year in the future, obviously as long as I am still live it would be greatly appreciated, but hopefully my version would have wheels on.

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode is excellent; I have decided to award this episode another mark, based on yet again in one way or another its high qualities and everything within it.

Clueless 1995 by AverageMansReviews



Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/drugs/sexual harassment/vehicle crash/self harming/burning/attempted suicide/medical/references to immigration, racism, environment, bodily functions and homosexuality

Beverley Hills High School: briefly; we meet Cher Horowitz [Alicia Silverstone:] she comes from a wealthy background as her dad is a lawyer and she is massively into fashion, we are here to witness and experience be part of her life and the characters around her. Horowitz has a best friend her name is Dionne " D" Davenport [Stacey Dash:] she is also in to fashion and she does have a boyfriend, but as you will see; it is complicated. Murray Duvall [Donald Faison:] he is an individual as you would expect to dress and act like for this time period and is indeed the boyfriend to Davenport. Tai Frasier [Britney Murphy:] she is the new kid in school, with her grunge look so Horowitz designs that she and Davenport should take her under their wing; but this is just some of what happens in this story.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 97 minutes is good as it knows what it is doing and get on with things

Character developments, performances and comedy; as it relates to the first two; on both counts they are beautifully designed/authentically and faultlessly performed to reflect the melting pot of high school life back then as everyone more often than not belong to a certain social group, but here is a massive difference compared to now in 2025; like in the 1990s you could have some social groups mingle with other social groups without hopefully too much hassle and if there was any hassle; you sometimes learned to defuse the situation before it escalated to far; hence why the 1990s generation can handle situations much better than the recent generations, because anyone before/including the 1990s generations would agree with this sentiment of; we just didn't go to school to learn lessons, but we learned key skills such as socialising with other types of individuals and including but not limited to deal with potentially heated situations and in one where another this project encapsulates that; in summary coming-of-age and perfect cast chemistry in particular Alicia Silverstone: because if she doesn't put on the spot on performance to become Cher Horowitz: this film could have easily fallen flat on its face. I am not taking anything away from the rest of the cast, but it is just a case of a lead role setting an example and the rest of the cast following.

Now as I have put a lot of emphasis on growth; I should highlight with growth usually comes some kind of mess especially in the high school years, so there is what we have here; decisions on what items of clothing to wear such as using a computer to design the look, having vehicle incidences trying to learn how to drive, whilst at a party dancing possibly and eventually at some point getting hit by something and drinking being a factor.

This film receives:10/10, this film is top-notch entertainment; it is a perfect reflection of the 1990s culture and time in history; so this is most definitely one of those films that you need to see once in your lifetime and I had the extreme pleasure of watching this film at the cinema on its 30th anniversary: it also has some awards to its name such as 6 Winners that include but not limited to American Comedy Awards, USA 1996 American Comedy Award Funniest Actress in a Motion Picture (Leading Role) Alicia Silverstone and National Society of Film Critics Awards, USA 1996 NSFC Award Best Screenplay Amy Heckerling. 12 Nominees that also include but not limited to as well; Young Artist Awards 1996 Young Artist Award Best Young Supporting Actress - Feature Film Stacey Dash moving on to at the same event/ceremony Best Young Supporting Actress - Feature Film Brittany Murphy

Driver and Artificial intelligence: Character [Character developments,] Storyline, Action and Art; now be it Tess and Wheels or Dan and Roadie; these two partnerships very much do complement one another; hence why they are partners; they have that synergy. Our team comes to this strange terrified location with strange goings-on; where we have our team trying to put out this house fire without much luck, this action sequence takes place by night, with in itself is an excellent yet subtle usage of variety and as it relates to the art itself it is of the highest order as amongst other things, but it really does put the action across to its viewing audiences

This episode receives: 10/10, this episode is top-notch entertainment; based on a variety of such as a mystery and other components or elements

Average Extra of: RETURN TO SILENT HILL Official Trailer (2026): My Reaction by AverageMansReviews

Real Talking Time:

Warning: broadly speaking the trailers for this movie will have adult content/themes within them and yes they will be some censored adult language references as well.

My reaction: I am just finished watching this film trailer: the roughly speaking 145 second one and full disclosure I have seen already some thumbnails giving their opinion on this movie and in this content I will be vary on what I say based on the fact that this film is... let's be positive a visual spectacle. So today I will be going to pick up my ticket so I can see this film sometime next week, I am really looking forward to it as no I am not into the video game franchise, but into the film franchise instead.

This is a bit self-explanatory based on the title of this sequel, but we return to Silent Hill as Jeremy Irvine as James Sunderland: without giving too much away a struggling individual that returns to this location. The storyline/plot looks to be pretty straightforward, but I am glad to see we have the intensely strong, atmospheric graphic and twisted artistic visions back with us such as the man mountain Pyramid Head looking beautiful as ever. But I can't ignore the fact that without looking forward ie when I put the title of this film in on my computer anywhere you either get videos/thumbnails as I said earlier or film ratings or at minimum some other indications that this film is at best just below average or poor or let's just say it is; I am already getting the impression that this film is manure... so I am very much crossing my fingers that the artistic component to this sequel does so much of the heavy lifting.

So without being said I think at best I would like to predict a 6/10 for this sequel, which I will happily stand by, but I am not kidding myself that it is more like 4/10 based on everything I've seen across the Internet in one way or another and I am praying that I don't have to give anything worse than 4/10.

Review Time

Warning: there are assassination attempts and suicide

I Disappear; by Metallica: this music video goes on for roughly 5 minutes; the storyboard I think, which means I could be wrong of course; but we have Metallica performing this track on what they tried to put across as the same one as Ethan Hunt [Tom Cruise] find in the opening stages of the sequel a.k.a. Dead Horse Point State Park in Utah, but when Hunt gets there they have disappear, because they have faced their own individual situations in this music video; yes I am aware they have used some elements of this opening to incorporate into this music video.

Action, art, character developments and performances; but away from this these individual scenarios such as for James Hetfield [lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist] is trying to out run this wave of destruction behind him in his car and/or Lars Ulrich [drummer] is trying to out run this same wave of destruction, but he is on foot, in a building and eventually he is going to run out of ground: then we get brought back to this band member performing with the band as it is a sneak peek into their individual futures; so these character developments and performances are all good

This film receives: 9/10, this film is excellent; roughly almost 26 years later as of this content first being created; this music video hasn't aged minus Metallica obviously from the perspective of as I have already referenced almost 26 years later, so I have decided to award an extra mark; this film has some awards accredited to its name; such as 6 Nominees which include but not limited to MTV Video Music Awards (VMA) 2000 VMA Best Rock Video Metallica and from iHeartRadio Much Music Video Awards 2000 MuchMusic Video Award Best International Video Metallica

Average Extra of: Masters of The Universe – Official Teaser Trailer 2026: My Reaction by AverageMansReviews

Real Talking Time:

Warning: broadly speaking the trailers for this movie will have mature content/themes within them and yes they will be some censored adult language references as well.

My reaction: I am just finished watching this film trailer which is the 145 seconds one, which this content is based on, I have so many concerning questions: like originally I thought his name plack had Adam Glenn/He-Man on it: I was okay the is a bit on the nail, then I looked online than what it actually said was He/Him, so I don't know if this has been done genuinely reflect Earth at this time or some kind of mocking attempt or just to you urinate the fan base off whatever the case may be it isn't a great look/start.

I hope we don't spend too much time on Earth? I get the story outlay and it is an interesting interpretation as well so I am on board with it, but at the same time I do get the feeling that if we spent too long here, it is possibly going to run the risk of getting tiresome, I mean hopefully and if they are smart this is where Adam/He-Man learns his humanity traits from, so it acts as character developments as well as storyline and are we getting a talking Cringer/Battle Cat? I know Prince Adam Glenn/He-Man [Nicholas Galitzine:] he is a human resources guy, meant for better things; he made reference to talking cats in this trailer and do we really have to have at some point or another slow motion effects action sequences? Because if you have been following me long enough, I would have made reference to the fact that thanks to early 2000's broadly speaking running this particular style to death, I can't stand it because I just see it as cheap, tacky and uninspiring manure nowadays, I mean unless they have found a way to update it somehow, which I doubt it, because it would have been done by now.

My biggest concerns by far is Jared Leto as Keldor/Skeletor: he is one of the biggest threats to peace on Eternia and half brother to King Randor: are they going to do any exposition on how Skeletor came to be Skeletor or/and Hordak [even though I haven't seen this film yet obviously: I just want to point out to be fair and balanced I will take references to him.] I have a really bad feeling that when Leto as Skeletor communicates this whole ominous presence they have given him will melt away instantaneously, which it has to be said I am not completely sold on Skeletor's presentation either, his body and head/face in certain scenes looks much better than others close-up; looks like the work of art, but further away not so much and then on top of that before I continue I need to point out also that this is nothing personal, but nonetheless it is an unwanted track record that  Leto's track record at the box office is way more flops than worldwide successes especially over more recent times, I mean you have to go all the way back until House of Gucci 2021 to find the last film he was connected to as Paolo Gucci to find his last project that was deemed to be a financial success.

Let's be positive for two minutes: Eternia looks majestically fantastic what with the scenery, landscapes, costumes and etc, be in artistic or/and action wise; they really seem to have an idea of how they wanted everything to be presented and how things should be on everything we experience in this trailer minus my concernsAnd I do hope we get a moral message extra scene in the closing credits: so what did we learn from this film?... As well as another extra scene implying a sequel.

My prediction for this film: 6/10, based on here and now I think the assets of this movie will paint over the cracks of the shortcomings of this movie, so hence why I went for 6/10, but I want to be proven wrong here and comfortably so, I will stand by the mark I have already chosen, but hypothetically and for an reasonable expectation should be heading for anywhere north of 7/10 with ease, But I can’t stress this enough I think the potential negatives of this movie are going to financially cost them dearly, such as for a quick example the pronoun thing, there was no positive outcome putting this reference in this movie; I mean on one hand some of your audience members can now say it that; this film is woke and potentially not go to the cinema or on the other hand some of the people are going to find this offensive; as they may feel that this film is having a joke at their expense; either way potentially you have just cost yourself this section of butts not being in seats; so smart move there, you bunch of geniuses and for those that are unable to pick up on sarcasm I am being incredibly sarcastic here; and here was me thinking Hollywood would have learned this expression by now “You go woke, you go broke” but obviously they haven’t learnt enough yet, with this virtual signalling manure,  so hopefully this doesn’t cost them the difference between making a sequel/franchise or not.

In-depth Predictions/Other elements for WWE Saturday Night's Main Event XLIII/2026 by AverageMansReviews

Just a heads up: I have decided to go for a new presentation outlay for this content, it should be self-explanatory, but just in case it isn't follow the ones in red

 The Judgment Day's: Liv Morgan & Roxanne Perez vs. Champs Rhiyo's: Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky; Tag Team Match for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship: 

I fully expect one of two things to happen the champions to win here and then for the WWE to re-run this match at WWE Royal Rumble with the inclusion of a different stipulation.

Cody Rhodes vs. Jacob Fatu; Singles Match:

I don't know why they just didn't have this match for a number 1 contenders Undisputed WWE Championship Match at WWE Elimination Chamber. Because any outcome here is a suitable championship opponent or opponents, based off the outcome of this match being a double disqualification

Randy Orton vs. Trick Williams vs. Damian Priest vs. Sami Zayn; Fatal Four-Way Match to determine the #1 contender for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WWE Royal Rumble:

I have chosen Priest based on the facts that I know he and McIntyre can have an absolute banger of a match

Our story continues: briefly; Dr Ian Kelson [Ralph Fiennes:] he is a former GP Doctor for the NHS, but nowadays working on giving the dead somewhere to rest, staying alive and helping out his friend Samson [Chi Lewis-Parry:] he is a alpha male rage zombie, that between the both of them they build a friendship.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script is on first impressions based on the plot in the opening sections, I was wondering if we were going to spend too long with a selection of characters, but luckily we rotate between one and the other roughly speaking of course; so the framework and pacing of this 109 minutes film after this opening section or/and around here it needs time to find itself then it is good.

Art, action and comedy; throughout from time to time; on one hand there are some real graphic scenes such as a knife going in at the right spot, so essentially a character can urinate blood with velocity [which for those with a dark sense of humour this is hilarious] or/and some beautiful locational scenes such as at The Bone Temple: we have some close-up of the scale how much this rage zombie apocalypse has costed; as we see it as firstly ominous, intimidating, but also massively and somewhat strangely inspiring as it reminds us we are only here for a short time and underneath we are all the same [okay, in this case; deep, deep, deep down we are all the same,] but the point is still very valid nonetheless and of course we still have chasing sequences and more graphic action sequences, including this really captivating sequence of events involving without giving too much away but enough to give you a heads up; "The Number of the Beast" released in 1982 by Iron Maiden: and if this sequence of events doesn't receive at minimum positive nominees, I don't know what to tell you? I really don't, because it is really spectacular on multiple levels; artistic way, dancing from Fiennes, singing kind of, slightly comical because it truly is a spectacle that goes up and beyond anything you expect and when fire is used it can be seen as action.

Character developments, comedy and performances; as this is another instalment of this franchise; it does what you expect it to do, which is move things on in this case as it relates to the character developments, we do also get some beautifully timed comedy references from Dr. Kelson as in a nutshell and paraphrasing; he asks Sampson for payment of his services... and then reassures him not to worry as he is an NHS Doctor. The cast performances are on average, but it has to be said that Fiennes ' performance is of the highest order as he can fill up the scene or sequence with just his stage presence when he is on his own or at that time has no one that will converge with him in English and then on top of that he has simultaneously the skills/gift to elevate anyone that he is in the scene with regardless if they can respond in English or not at that time, so for an example Fiennes and Lewis-Parry have excellent chemistry on-screen, what with Lewis-Parry putting in as much effort as his character will allow at specific times in this movie/sequel, so this too is an excellent performance.

This film receives: 8/10, this film is excellent; yes within the opening section or more, I was getting the sinking feeling of this instalment of this franchise, but a mixture of the positives would I have already referenced in this content really righted the ship, and I really do hope that Fiennes at minimum gets some positive nominees for this performance, but as of this content being first created; it has 1 Nominee to its name Girls on Film Awards 2026 Girls on Film Award Best Composer Hildur Guðnadóttir Shared with: Hedda.

Godzilla 1998 by AverageMansReviews

Godzilla 1998 by AverageMansReviews



Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/animal cruelty/animal feeding/animal biting/vehicle hits/burning/medical/references to disability and sexism

We have a big problem: briefly; after this exposition character developments within the opening titles; we have to find the brightest individual to deal with this monster later on referred to as Godzilla; we meet Dr. Niko "Nick" Tatopoulos [Matthew Broderick:] he is a biologist which is currently working on the effects of Chernobyl on earthworms, but he is being brought in to the ground if there was any way of dealing with this situation humanely.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script or/and the framework and pacing is just too long; as this film goes on for roughly 139 minutes and man you will feel every minute, where I fell asleep for a portion of this film and had to go back and watch it, so I could do this content.

Comedy, art, action and comedy;to begin with in this  film in a nutshell; Victor "Animal" Palotti [Hank Azaria:] he is a cameraman for WIDF News as he tries to get up close and personal with Godzilla; in fact; he achieves it almost too well, with almost getting killed/squashed underfoot doing this; but he survives. I know, I know 9 times out of 10 I am usually much more kinder to films that are clearly getting old as it relates to their visual representation; simply put in this case green-screen effects, but in this case I just can't do it; they have just aged so badly to the point where they stick out like a sore thumb, okay now let's be reasonable and some of them are either relatively okay [based on the bar being set really low] or for a short time good, where we have Godzilla in this underwater sequence of events taking down these submarines; yes this is absolutely another positive sequence of events about this film has to offer its viewers

Character developments and performances; the character developments are straightforward versions of what they are meant to be, coinciding in really solid and likeable performances from this cast; let's be honest here and say man they have to do a lot to keep this film motivated and going, and incidentally this film also has Harry Shearer as Charles Caiman: this unpleasant news reporter for WIDF News and unfortunately no this news reporter and cameraman don't work together; now if you don't get the connection between these two performers correction three/trio of performers; Nancy Cartwright as Caiman's secretary: full disclosure I missed this and only know this from the casting, apologies about that; they have a long-term association with another as they have worked on everyone's favourite yellow family; The Simpsons since its inception since 1989 and as of this content are still going in 2026.

This film receives: 5/10, this film is mixed; after everything is said and done I believe this to be the right mark; yes the person I watch some of this content with is correct when they said something to the effect of; it will good for back in the day and this is true. But I just wonder if and I have no way of proving this, but maybe they were really trying to stick to the budget and consequently these effects have as I have already referenced aged like old milk, but strangely enough if you have never seen this film and somehow you either find or purchase a cheap copy of it; it wouldn't harm you to give it a go and of course it has positive and negative awards to its name such as Positives: 10 Winners which include but not limited to Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, USA 1999 Saturn Award Best Special Effects Volker Engel Patrick Tatopoulos Karen E. Goulekas Clay Pinney and 13 Nominees which also include but not limited to from the same award ceremony/event Best Director Roland Emmerich. Negatives: Razzie Awards 1999 Razzie Award Worst Remake or Sequel Tied with The Avengers (1998) and Psycho (1998) and then Nominee likewise from the same award ceremony/event Worst Screenplay Dean Devlin Roland Emmerich

Average Extra of: The Death of Robin Hood 2026: My Reaction by AverageMansReviews

Real Talking Time:

Warning: broadly speaking the trailers for this movie will have mature content/themes within them.

My reaction: now I watched the 147 seconds trailer where Robin Hood [Hugh Jackman:] says his entire legacy is a lie, in fact it was completely the opposite and now has an warrior he just wants to die.

So straight off the bat; this is a fresh and new take on Robin Hood; not only has his legacy was built on lies, but also as an old man, with a very heavy weight that he has been carrying for decades with each passing devious act the weight is getting heavier as his soul is as black as his heart, as nowadays he is very much dead behind the eyes, but he could have a chance of some redemption; so as you can already tell that character developments could and should be multilayered.

The art and action; look to be amazing, as we get to see and experience some of the art and action in this trailer; what with a cold and dark landscape with fitting costumes and I think it is safe to assume the action sequences are going to be full on violence with great visual representation to simultaneously create a very immersive experience.

Already there would be nice for Jackman to hopefully receive some positive nominations for this performance as Robin Hood; I mean he is already shown based on my descriptions of this version of Hood what he is already clearly able to bring to the table in this alternative version of him.

So I would like to predict a 7/10 for this film, now considering I have been strongly positive about this project based on this trailer; I have been around long enough to learn that hopefully not, but I have negative questions such as; it looks fantastic, but it is another situation where the best elements have been put into trailer? As of this content being first created I could not find the length of the movie, so hypothetically based on my viewing experience this movie does look like a project which is 130 minutes long, which would be reasonable, any longer than this it may run framework and pacing issues, because as I have made crystal clear yes it looks a really engageable, but it doesn't matter how fantastic it may or may not look, it isn't going to stop people possibly getting fidgety in their seats if the movie is too long, so what I am trying to imply nicely is I hope the visual or any positives for that matter just doesn't paint over the cracks of any other shortcomings that this film may or may not have, consequently it open the door to speculate at this point is Jackman or/and the cast going to be carrying this film?

So I would have really liked to give something higher in my prediction, but at the same time I didn't want to make myself look silly, so a 7/10 is a reasonable prediction based on here and now.

Warning: there will be centred adult language references in this content.

I have finally ran out of patience: you see I have been waiting years to dictate this content and after seeing some posts about this exact point that I'm about to make, I was thinking now would be a good time to produce it.

Now putting to one side for a moment Fyre winning the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships with Isla Dawn as the tag team name of The Unholy Union back in 15/06/2024 what else has she done? Now let me remind you who she is and/or should be; Fyre was/is the longest reigning NXT UK Women's Champion in history with 649 days and throughout that time they built the division around her, it's funny there is only one other person that has a similar record to her in this now-defunct promotion and that would be Walter as NXT UK Champion with a fudgin' gigantic 870 days reign, it is almost like I could say hypothetically speaking of course, the only difference being one has a penis and the other doesn't, I mean I could say that but I won't say that, but it is strange that you put so much effort and time into both individuals and yet one is riding high and the other is in comparison circling the toilet bowl.

I was never on board with her with Chelsea Green as basically a part of her security guards as The Green Regime, let me say this loud and clear; her name is Alba motherfudging Fyre, she is one of the best singles wrestlers that they have on the main roster, but unless you know of her work in any NXT, you could be forgiven for thinking she is a glorified jobber, so what is the point of bringing these new additions in anywhere when Fyre is right fudgin' there to begin with?! By the way Ray when you're contract is up with the WWE, you may want to try another wrestling promotion in the form of AEW, they have a thriving women's locker room and I am sure without a shadow of doubt we can get you back to where you should be in the middle of that ring wrestling and/or wrestling for Championships.
