Warning: there flashing effects/other effects/transformation

Moral message: in short "It is better to ask or share."

Prince Adam/He-Man takes a Sleep Sting for Cringer/Battle Cat: Characters [Character developments,] Action and Art these components combined here. After Prince Adam/He-Man gives Cringer/Battle about this attack; Sleep Sting; basically anyone gets hit by this will go to sleep for a while with Cringer/Battle Cat responding to this warning with "We're see about that."] Before they go and to confront Tycor in the entire Kingdom honey supply of The Bee Colony; Tycor fires these beams from his eyes. In this combat situation this attack was meant for Cringer/Battle Cat, but Prince Adam/He-Man quickly jumps in the way of this attack shielding Cringer/Battle cat with his back in mid-air and pushing him out of the way. This also highlights strongly that there is always and continues to be a strong bond between Prince Adam/He-Man and Cringer/Battle Cat as they will regardless of the name or powers they will always come through for one another and this sequence look good as well.

This episode receives: 6/10, this episode is good; what we have here is just a solidly good episode.

The Kane's family reunion: Characters [Character developments,] Action and Comedy; these all combine at some point here. So we meet Colonel Jacob Kane and his twin daughters Kate Kane/Circe Sionis and Beth Kane/Alice in the recently disbanded Crows Headquarters; where these three family members and we the viewers see crystal clear evidence that this is indeed Kate and individually what happened to Circe Sionis on these computer monitors; which has been tied down to this chair Colonel Kane says "I know this is a lot to handle." But because either Kate Kane or Circe Sionis is highly trained in multiple skills in their own rights escaping from this chair is no problem, so she escapes and attempts to run, but her sister catches her with a left hook right in the face [just come back apologies if I have the wrong side] and floors her sister; with that Colonel Kane says "Hey!" [With his arm/right hand finger stretched out simultaneously; in the right pitch of voice to imply "Hey that was too hard." Beth Kane/Alice giving this perfect response, body language and mannerisms to match "Sorry, But did you want her to escape?"

This episode receives: 10/10, this episode is lots of fun; I mean generally speaking this episode does take some time to get into its groove and after taking everything else into consideration, I really couldn't give anything less than what they have and on a quick side note apologies if I have gave you the wrong side hands in this review, I have never been good on left hand side right hand side as it relates to opposite sides or potentially other sides compare to my side [potentially opposite on TV as I watch this episode for an example.]

The Fifth Element 1997 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time

Warning: there are flashing effects/colourful effects/drugs/medical/decapitation/animal cruelty/shooting/kamikaze

Storyline/Action/Comedy/Art/Characters [Character developments]/Performances: all these combined in one way or another at some point; the storyline is something safe and reliable but good; the pacing is likewise something safe and reliable it give this project a fundamentally sound basis to work from; as in it gives the other components time to combined or depending where you are in the project space to move and time to breathe even if it is just a moment to brave.

To begin with this; we have Dallas/Willis being mugged or attempting to be mugged outside his living quarters by this mugger just before Dallas/Willis is off to work; this mugger has clearly has been on drugs for many years by his body language, mannerisms and general language skills, but Dallas/Willis being the individual he is and him being an Ex-Special Forces Major, but now taxi driver; he calmly and collectively starts talking about this new gun which he happens to point out it isn't loaded which this mugger is a little bit twitchy, so he follows Dallas's instructions Dallas even offers to assist him, but by his mannerisms and action he declines. So when this mugger is ready he says "Give me the cash." But with this gun giving off a sound effect it quickly comes apparent Dallas/Willis has just told this mugger how to disable this gun. Which instantaneously Dallas/Willis draws this gun which is so much more less complicated [with this mugger holding up his hands but still holding this gun."] Dallas/Willis says [whilst this holding unit of confiscated guns comes down] "That's a very dangerous gun. Maybe you better let me hold on to that one for you. [With Dallas taking this gun off this mugger and putting it in this holding unit] Dallas continues; "You don't mind do you?" Mugger: "No" Dallas/Willis: "You sure?" Mugger:" No. Take it. I don't need it." [He says "I don't need it" in an angry frustrated cry. With his body language and mannerisms match] [Dallas/Willis trying not to crack a smile and laugh at this mugger's hat] "That is a very nice hat" Muggler: "You like it?" [Stamping his foot] "God." [doing a little dance and then this confiscated guns unit goes back up into the ceiling.]

The next example of the action and comedy but this time including art; is where we have simultaneous things happening at the same time. From a broad perspective Dallas/Willis and Rhod/Tucker amongst others are watching this operatic performance from Diva Plavalaguna/Maïwenn this number is named "The Diva Dance" this is a powerful performance to match her blue peaceful yet strong blue presence on screen [and on a quick side note if you're wondering how species; on a little bit of research it is unknown.] Whilst this is happening Leeloo/Jovovich is battling Mangalores [this operatic music number and performance complements this action sequence as we go back and forth with the singing and music over the top of this action sequence,] Leeloo/Jovovich has educated herself to fight as the best martial artist in the world [Bruce Lee] including little bits of comedy such as when she is setting up to punch this Mangalore in front of her [ this Mangalore seems to have taken a pounding] she is focused on him and this other Mangalore/I am pretty sure this is the leader of Mangalores Aknot/Lloyd Bryan stands behind to potentially attack her, but she was very much aware of him being there as without breaking focus on attacking the one in front she does delivers a fist in his face and in the same move punch is the one in the face in front and later on she gives him a hand gesture to waive him on [just to say bring it] which he obliges her by running towards her.

Characters [Character developments] and Performances; this is all excellent; this cast all have excellent chemistry from Masterson/Perry to President Lindberg/Lister Jr. Zorg/Oldman to Cornelius/Holm and everyone else involved.

This film receives: 10/10 this film is top-notch entertainment: this film is a classic and is one of those films you should be absolutely seeing once in your lifetime. Firstly sadly RIP for everyone that has passed on from this cast; you may be gone but your memory will live on at minimum connected to this legendary and as I have already said classic project. Secondly this film has so much to offer its viewing audiences third and finally it has 10 Won Awards; for one example; 20/20 Awards 2018; Felix; Best Costume Design; Jean-Paul Gaultier. 39 Nominations for an example; Academy Awards, USA 1998; Oscar; Best Effects, Sound Effects Editing Mark A. Mangini.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe [Season 2,] Episode 102: Revenge Is Never Sweet by AverageMansReviews

Review Time:

5 things about this episode

Warning: there flashing effects/other effects/transformation

Moral message: I am paraphrasing here; seeking revenge is pointless, it is better to sit down and discuss things.

Short-term alliance: Character [Character developments] Prince Adam/He-Man proposes to Evil Lynn this short-term alliance where basically if she uses her magic to assist him and his friends now, he will rescue her from Kothos, which she agrees to it based on he will keep his word; this is good.

You have hand it to Kothos: Action and Art combining; as we have Kothos being chased by Prince Adam/He-Man, so as Kothos is a powerful master of magic he performs this trap where he gets this hand to come out of this nearby wall and grab and hold Prince Adam/He-Man in a closed fist when Prince Adam/He-Man goes past and on in closing him in this closed fist it goes from a dark green colour system to a light grey clay colour. Don't worry a little while later and ongoing dialogue exchange in this scene between these two characters; Prince Adam/He-Man will expand with strength to break free; excellent imagination.

This episode receives: 7/10, this episode is good; this is one of those episodes that gets better the more you watch of it

Pay-Per-View Rewind of: WCW: Hog Wild 10/08/1996 Match 5/Part 5 by AverageMansReviews - Spoiler Alarm!

Pay-Per-View Rewind of: WCW: Hog Wild 10/08/1996 Match 5/Part 5 by AverageMansReviews - Spoiler Alarm!

Background information/Warning: after this match; in short Schiavone and Dream are talking about the Sturgis Motorbike and set things up for us to watch this video package where we see some bikers and some of the WCW Superstars beginning their trek from Minnesota to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in a little town in South Dakota; Warning there is an element of animal cruelty in this video content and after this video content would come back to Schiavone finishing up talking about this and then moving on to the next match which is/we see a these words on-screen WCW United States Heavyweight title.

Match/Stipulations: The Steiner Brothers [Rick Steiner & Scott Steiner] vs. the WCW World Tag Team Champions Harlem Heat [Booker T & Stevie Ray with Sister Sherri & Col. Robert Parker:] Tag Team Match for the WCW World Tag Team Championships

Match Attributes:

Match Quality: 8/10

Match Storyline: 7/10

Crowd Participation: 10/10

On Commentary: "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes, Tony Schiavone & Bobby "The Brain" Heenan 7/10

Satisfying Conclusion: 7/10

Recommend Watch: 8/10

Match Total: 47/60 - this match is excellent

Comments: this match is of high quality, well you wouldn't expect anything less from these two legendary tag teams. Now Harlem Heat [Booker T & Stevie Ray with Sister Sherri & Col. Robert Parker] are a Heal stable at this point so as they are walking down and into the ring they are getting the standard Heel reception, but before this match properly get started Booker T & Stevie Ray seemingly says something to the section of the crowd in their corner of the ring when they are facing the crowd where it goes from the standard Heel heat to mega Heel heat and what gives this way is the purest sound from the entire crowd after this you have motorbikes revving and other sound effects here is a hint when you have got mega Heel heat with the crowd at the conclusion of this match you have them throwing garbage into the ring, because of this dusty finish, so this is purely speculation here I am guessing; Booker T & Stevie Ray possibly picked up on " Hold on we are sitting on a powderkeg here, if we say something derogatory in kayfabe about them that may push them over the edge." When or if you watch this match/match slot you will get to that point I am speaking of and after this point the crowd were just explosive and consequently clearly and loudly on the side of The Steiner Brothers [Rick Steiner & Scott Steiner.] I mean you even have the Referee [Randy Anderson] and Scott having a little bit of pantomime with the crowd as his brother and him perform this tag and Anderson doesn't see it so basically Scott and Anderson turn to the crowd Scott wants them to back him up and Anderson is looking for confirmation from the crowd so they say " Yes!"

Basic Result:  I know I have already basically told you the result, but I still have to do the admin; the WCW World Tag Team Champions Harlem Heat [Booker T & Stevie Ray with Sister Sherri & Col. Robert Parker] Retain their WCW World Tag Team Championships.

DC's Batwoman [Season 2,] Episode 35: Armed and Dangerous by AverageMansReviews

Review Time:

5 things about this episode

Warning: there is flashing/other effects/drugs/racism/shooting/medical

Art imitates life; Part 2: Storyline and Bloopers; combined at one point or another in this episode; the viewers see the fallout of what happened at the end of the previous episode; so I get and understand its purpose like I did with likewise the previous episode as well. But and I mean this in a very serious sense, but and I know I have referenced this once before or something to that effect already in DC's Batwoman [Season 2,] Episode 22: Prior Criminal History Link https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2021/08/dcs-batwoman-season-2-episode-22-prior.html I have put the link here because not being lazy, but it is always the same problem remaining the UK or predominantly the USA [before I receive backlash I am referring to your constitutional right to bear arms; fact.] So until the UK or the the USA deal with systemic racism or weapons generally speaking a lot better than at this precise moment in time this is like banging a very old drum that gets beaten every couple of months, but nothing changes in fact the only thing is that change our the drumstick that gets worn down or broken from being hit every couple of months and at this moment this drum is looking very worn and as I have only said very old from the amount of usage.

Bloopers; we are in Gotham General Hospital in a patient's room with Wilder, Fox and Hamilton; this is just a tiny excerpt Wilder to Fox "Because there is no Batteam without you." Then Hamilton to Fox who else is gonna roll their eyes at me every time I threaten to redecorate the Batcave.. or ignore my fashion advice, even though only own a suit? It's me and you in the Batcave, Luke so... we need you." So once again we have no concept of firstly a secret identity and secondly security cameras and the possibility these cameras have the option of sound or someone could read lips.

Wilder/Batwoman rescues Colonel Jacob Kane: Art and Action combine here; the lights to this location have shorted out; Wilder/Batwoman brings through this glass window which shatters; this night-vision visor comes down over her eyes from her helmet and we see for a moment in time from the perspective of Welder/Batwoman's vision which has accessed the option of night vision in helmet as she puts foot to posterior taking down these Crows in short she has a little dialogue exchange with Colonet Kane and then jumped out of the window again.

This episode receives: 4/10, this episode is mixed; this episode continues where the previous episode had finished with it very clear message with a couple of good action sequences and the situation with ongoing situation with Alice
