Pay-Per-View Rewind of: WWF/WWE WrestleMania I 31/03/1985 Match 6/Part 6 by AverageMansReviews - Spoiler Alarm!

Pay-Per-View Rewind of: WWF/WWE WrestleMania I 31/03/1985 Match 6/Part 6 by AverageMansReviews - Spoiler Alarm!

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects

Match/Stipulations: The Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff [with "The Hollywood Fashion Plate" Freddie Blassie] vs. the WWF Tag Team Champions The U.S. Express [Barry Windham & Mike Rotundo with Captain Lou Albano:] Tag Team Match for the WWF Tag Team Championships

Match Attributes:

Match Quality: 7/10

Match Storyline: 7/10

Crowd Participation: 10/10

On Commentary: Gorilla Monsoon & Jesse "The Body” Venture 7/10

Satisfying Conclusion: 7/10

Recommend Watch: 7/10

Match Total: 45/60 - this match is good

Comments: this match/match slot is all good, this is speculation but I don't know whether everyone was informed that they had been given a very small match time of just under 7 minutes, on a quick side note I have just realised the previous match had the identical amount of time and the upcoming matches have a similar time and as well until the main event, I am just remembering this is why I chose this pay-per-view over the Christmas period, I wanted to do a big pay-per-view to get some content out; but hey, hey never mind.]

On reflection is Monsoon building up/promoting WrestleMania which I have no problem with, but I am not too keen on Venture saying this is just another excerpt " You have seen dead Super Bowls and World Series, but you definitely not seeing a dead WrestleMania." I get where he is coming from, but as this is the first WrestleMania we have nothing to compare it to.

We have the heel team performing this double team in their corner which doesn't go according to plan as The Sheik puts Windham in front of Volkoff, so they can immobilise Windham; Volkoff is standing on the apron holding Windham, The Sheik backs up to go in to perform this dropkick but Windham drops down and gets out of their corner, consequently Volkoff takes this dropkick and The Sheik is apologetic, this is a good piece of goofiness as the match continues, Monsoon quickly takes us to see this action will play of this double team going wrong and then quickly back to live action.

Basic Result: your new WWF Tag Team Champions The Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff [with "The Hollywood Fashion Plate" Freddie Blassie]

Background information: after this match; we have Monsoon and Venture taking a look/discussing the action replay and then Monsoon talks more about what we have just seen he tries to bring Venture into the conversation he was getting ready to say something, but before he does Monsoon hands things over to Okerlund to get a live interview with the new WWF Tag Team Champions and their manager after that Okerlund sends things back to Monsoon with him still talking about the injustice with Venture and claiming there was blood squirting somewhere out of The Sheik, on a replay it is just coming out of his far hand second finger knuckle [on another replay without giving too much away and this is just speculation, it's quite easy to see how this may have happened, because The Sheik does something very hard and maybe a shard could have rebounded, but on the upside this match outlay does what it is designed to do, without anyone looking weak.] Monsoon sends things to Hayes with him not getting distracted by anyone or anything in short, still looking as if he is reading an autocue introduces the pre-recorded video package Okerlund with Big John Stud and his manager Bobby " The Brain" Heenan talking about this upcoming match on this pay-per-view next Career VS. $15,000 Body Slam Challenge with "The Eighth Wonder of The World"André The Giant; additional where if André can't body slam, meaning Stud just has to last until the match time expires, André must retire, but if he does body slam Stud he gets $15,000. Okerlund sending things back to Monsoon once again talking about how brilliant WrestleMania is/has been and once again Venture putting the same sports from earlier under the bus with Stud and Heenan heading into the ring with Monsoon handing things over to Finkel to do his thing with him explaining the rules of this match then The Giant heading down with the same security used throughout this pay-per-view for wrestlers and on-screen characters and into the ring.

American Siege 2021 by AverageMansReviews

American Siege 2021 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing/colourful effects/shooting/drugs/burning/human urination

One wrong is bigger and worse than the other: on the day of his release from prison after serving a decade Roy [Rob Gough] is seeking answers, about his girlfriend at the time Bridget Baker which is dead [Sarah May Sommers,] he won't be asking these questions on his own as some members of Bridget's family want answers as well in her older sister Grace Baker [Anna Hindman] and older brother Toby Baker [Johann Urb.] The pacing is solid and functional, and you know, it knows what it is doing and settled down to its task.

Well as this is a predominantly situation-based action, meaning it takes place around the location of this house which Dr John Keats [Cullen G. Chambers] lives at, he was the last one to see her alive.

So for an example at one point we have these two hired guns  that works for this highly influential individual that runs this town [Georgia town] by the name of  Charles Rutledge  [Timothy V. Murphy.]

But I digress, in a basic description; Sheriff Ben Watts [Bruce Willis] is against this drone strike, but Silas [Johnny Messner] saying it has been okayed by Rutledge, so these two hired guns, one is piloting and the other may be doing the drop, I don't know we don't see is device long enough, all I know is they are working together. But no need to worry about that, because even before they get the opportunity, Grace Baker shoots this drone out of the sky and into this pond with the pilot hired gun being disappointed by this with Sheriff Ben Watts laughing.

The characters developments and performances are solid types of what they are and the same can be said for the performances.

This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed; well to be more precise it is a solid little film, I am just wondering if this kind of film would have been better being adapted to a theatre production instead, as it wouldn't need too many scenery changes based on as I have already alerted to it predominately is based around this house location so it could be done if they were to work in the confines of a theatre stage.

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City 2021 by AverageMansReviews

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City 2021 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/feeding/animal cruelty/transformation/medical/character on fire/burning/shooting

So what's the point of this reboot?: I mean for roughly the first 36 minutes all you get is the origin and background work of the storyline and these characters in some capacity and as you can tell by me making reference to roughly 36 minutes it isn't exactly quick or engaging. But generally speaking the Umbrella Corporation has been doing strange experiments in Raccoon City and now The Umbrella Corporation is withdrawing from this City there is now increasingly strange goings-on here. Just a friendly heads up there is a scene be for the closing credits. The pacing is what it is; meaning on one hand, because of this timeframe and its content is so damaging that on the other hand for the remaining of this project it can solidly hold things together but the damage had already been done and this film is only roughly 107 minutes long.

The RCPD [Raccoon City Police Department] there is this Rookie RPD Leon S. Kennedy [Avan Jogia] is on the front desk as everyone else in this department is discussing and working on this urgent situation. He falls asleep listening to this music through his headset, so he is unaware that he has this truck [ one of those tanker ones] heading towards this building; Trucker Driver [Pat Thornton] seems to be going through this metamorphosis thanks to his dog biting him, which unfortunately this dog seems to be changing as well.

But what remains of this Trucker's humanity seems to cause his truck to go on its side and consequently burst into flames. This is still blissfully unaware as the camera shot is looking through the door at him with sounds and flames of the wreckage can be heard [seen as it relates to the flames] with the song which our Rookie is listening to "CRUSH" by Jennifer Paige which now accompanies this scene, with this trucker walking into this Police Department on fire [ when I say on fire I mean like Johnny Storm/The Human Torch,] just before he makes it to the front desk he gets shot by someone out of the scene which causes the music and simultaneously our Rookie wakes up with surprise/automatically does stand up and get out of the way with saying "What the ****! With the camera shot spanning right to reveal Chief Irons [Donal Logue] with his gun drawn and standing at the top of these stairs with these words "You may want to get a fire extinguisher and closed the gates there may be others." The Chef turned his back and carries on with the Rookie asking with a stutter starting the beginning stages of the word others turning his head to face the Chief "Other What?!" But he doesn't get an answer so he quickly gets on with the tasks he has been given.

The character developments and performances fulfil their purpose; Claire Redfield [child; Lily Gail Reid and adult; Kaya Scodelario] and Chris Redfield [child; Daxton Grey Gujral and adult; Robbie Amell.] Generally speaking have this not believing his sister that she heard or saw strange things going on in this Raccoon City Orphanage/his sister returning after five years and him siding with Dr William Birkin/Mutant [Neal McDonough,] in a nutshell because he has been very supportive throughout Chris' life case and point he is now a member of  STARS Alpha Team, another member of this team is Jill Valentine; Special Tactics And Rescue Service [Hannah John-Kamen;] these are just some of the characters and their performers but as I have already made reference to the cast fulfil their purpose.

This film receives: 3/10, this film is poor; yes as I have pointed out the RCPD sequence is has lots to offer as it relates to action, art, and yes things do get better, consistently better when we are heading into or in Spencer's Mansion in its entirety and beyond [just in case if you're wondering roughly around the 45 minute mark; is when we start in this location, but we don't stay in this location to begin with, but at some point we will stay here] or we go back to the Raccoon City Orphanage in present times But I stand by what I said earlier so what was the point of this reboot? Because the previous series of films only ended roughly 4 years ago in 2017 and to begin the reboot with a 3/10, based on my opinion is not exactly a good start, I should quickly point out again that the first 36 minutes of this project does so much damage that for a long time this film was looking  at something lower for a long time and to be fair to myself, I have already highlighted the this film does get much better, so this is another situation of counterbalance and I can't repeat what I actually said when this film was finished, but I can put a softer version instead of "That was fudging poop."

Now just to cover my back after doing some research I am aware that I gave the previous series of films and their instalments some less than positive marks as well, but in comparison I gave Resident Evil 2002 8/10 Link  https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2018/10/resident-evil-2003-by-averagemansreviews.html which is something supremely better which to base your potential franchise on

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe [Season 2,] Episode 114: Battle of the Dragons by AverageMansReviews

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe [Season 2,] Episode 114: Battle of the Dragons by AverageMansReviews

Review Time:

5 things about this episode

Warning: there is flashing effects/other effects/transformation

Morningstar vs. Granamyr; challenge to a test of fire for leadership over the Dragons: Action, Art, Character [Character developments] and Moral message; these combined in one way or another; these two Dragon's are in mid-air with a distance in the middle facing one another they breathe out a flame of fire each and it creates this clash of flames after the first moment we get to look to Duncan/Man-At-Arms and Prince Adam in this Wind Raider in the air as well talking about this situation and connecting things, then we go back to this tug-of-war after Granamyr victorious. Morningstar surrenders and admits to his wrongdoing, these two other Dragons want to see Granamyr deal out hard consequences for Morningstar's misdoings because it is Granamyr's right. But Granamyr shows precisely why he is the leader of the other Dragons, with his wisdom as he goes on to say " No my brothers it is my right, but it wouldn't be right, we will find a better way to administer justice now let's go home." This is all good.

The moral message is essentially [I am paraphrasing here] about winning and losing; and in this case how Granamyr in this episode when he won he let go; so winning or losing it is about knowing how to do both right.

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode is excellent; even though I have just spoken about a small section of it as I usually do nowadays, this episode does have lots to offer

Watchmen [Season 1,] Episode 3: She Was Killed by Space Junk by AverageMansReviews

Watchmen [Season 1,] Episode 3: She Was Killed by Space Junk by AverageMansReviews

Review Time:

5 things about this episode

Warning: there are flashing effects/other effects/white supremacy/hanging/disfigurement/shooting/animal cruelty

I'll call your bluff: Storyline, Action, Character [Character developments] and Comedy; in one where another these components combined; unfortunately it is the day of Chief of the Tulsa Police Judd Crawford funeral where The Seventh Kavalry member has dug this large hole inside this church, where this funeral is roughly taking place [when I said roughly I mean this ceremony is taking place outside near to this church.]

This Seventh Kavalry member attaches this dynamite to himself/his heart, which if anyone shoots him this dynamite goes off, so he gatecrashers this ceremony and in a nutshell wants to take this one individual Senator Joe Keene, Jr. and if he doesn't everyone dies, so he goes with this individual, but from out of nowhere this Seventh Kavalry gets a bullet in the head from FBI Agent Laurie Blake [Anti-Vigilante Task Force.] But she doesn't come alone she has another Agent with her by the name of Agent Dale Petey and he is only here because Agent Blake was told by her superior Deputy Director Farragut; basically she couldn't go on her own she had to take another Agent with her to Tulsa, so that is why he is here.]

But I digress this Seventh Kavalry member wasn't bluffing as his heartbeat slows down/it sounds like he/it is getting ready to explode so Abar starts the evacuation with "Run" everyone runs with her dragging this Seventh Kavalry member into this burial hole meant for Chief of the Tulsa Police Crawford in his casket and then she pushes/drops the Chief of the Tulsa Police Crawford in his casket on top of this Seventh Kavalry and Abar does this quick run away and jump in the air when they are is this explosion with Agent Blake falling back at the same time to symbolise the impact of this explosion; with Abar looking at Agent Blake as to ask in a serious manner "Why did you do that?" With Agent Blake looking back as to reply in likewise a serious manner "I thought he was bluffing." There is another joke later on this is just an excerpt; Abar: "Crawford jumped on the grenade I just gave him a little push."

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode is excellent; yet again this is another episode which has lots to offer its viewers from beginning to end

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe [Season 2,] Episode 113: Happy Birthday Roboto by AverageMansReviews

Review Time:

5 things about this episode

Warning: there is flashing effects/other effects/transformation/robotic inner workings/medical/slavery

Discovering Roboto: Storyline, Action, Art and Character [Character developments;] these combined in one way or another; we meet Duncan/Man-At-Arms and Prince Adam in this Wind Raider after this previous engagement as this signal comes up in Wind Raider so they go to investigate down below, now on foot in this Dune surroundings as Prince Adam discovers something big under the sand so instead of doing this excavation dig which let's be honest would have taken ages, Prince Adam just summons He-Man, he gets Duncan/Man-At-Arms to stand back and just blows this very powerful gust of wind to reveal this badly damaged ship.

But unfortunately on doing this Prince Adam/He-Man disturbs and consequently makes this giant crab very angry Prince Adam/He-Man on investigating this ship turns around and quickly realising with this look of absolute fear says "Duncan look out!" As he himself quickly turns around with absolute fear in his entire being as from Duncan/Man-At-Arms' perspective [top-notch camera work/art in this entire sequence] as diagonally Duncan/Man-At-Arms and we come to realise how gigantic this crap actually is with more fear in Duncan/Man-At-Arms' all-round body language, I will finish things they are because there is still a lot in this sequence of events and yes Prince Adam/He-Man does do combat with this giant crab.

After dealing with this situation; they head into this ship where they discover this pilot which is a non-functional robot so Duncan/Man-At-Arms takes the decision to get him back to his lab at the Royal Palace of Eternia to try and fix up.

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode is excellent; it fluently has something to offer its viewers to keep them engaged in this episode from beginning to end.
