Falcon Wanderer

well i just finished the first two episodes of Ahsoka. I was quite pleasantly surprised. i was afraid they'd play Ahsoka too stiff like they did in Mando and BOBF but they loosened her up some. Gave her more of Ahsoka's dry humor interactions. The actresses they got for Hera and Sabine were perfect. I loved seeing Huyang still going and Chopper was perfect as always. The Loth-cat was adorable and looked like they used more puppetry and less CGI on it. The last bit of the 2nd episode fit perfectly with rebels, i wonder now if Dave Filoni had that in mind when he finished rebels. So much more i'll not mention but i'm impressed so far, if they get Ezra and Thrawn right i'm hooked.

So far the first two episodes have been slow and steady along introducing the new characters and getting back in touch with the older ones as well. Sorcha the ever diligent warrior, now queen. Willow, always with the weight of the worlds placed on him and the will and now seasons to bear it once more. The new characters are still a bit too new to gauge well, though the prince of Tir Aslean is doing a fine job of following in his father's personality if not his footsteps. The action has been lacking as of yet but the show is just getting started and it's not called Willow's War after all, lol. The comedy up to now has been the type to bring a smile and a laugh but not the type to distract from the story of the show, maybe the Brownies will manage that part later like before. Overall thus far a very good show, Warwick Davis appears to have never put Willow aside in the intervening years but to have kept him in his hip pocket all along waiting for the day to play him once again. Update for episode 3: Great action and energy with this episode. Lots of things about WIllow's reticence make more sense now. Interesting play on the meeting in the woods though sad for what it was. Nice continuance all around. Not sure where all the ill reviews came from since last week, some folks can't be happy it's against their very being I guess. That cliché quote comes to mind about pleasing some but not all the people. Update for episode 4: Spooky but cool. Lots of reliance on the past but with new facts added in the case of the new characters. The final scene between Graydon and Dove was somewhat too easy but the lead up to it all was fantastic. The show continues to please quite well, I believe many of the early negative reviews were as per usual too fast out of the gate for their own good. Update for episode 5: Fun episode, some interesting facts, one great cameo, and the totally wrong place to play a song like Crimson and Clover, lol. A bit too Guardians-esque there. Update for episode 6: Another good episode. The trolls were Great, and greatly unexpected as well. Allagash was hilarious and heroic as only Christian Slater could make him. Lots of new info for the mystery behind Madmartigan in this one as well. And then...Good Vibrations, well at least it was by the proper artists unlike some others, lol. Update for episode 7: This episode went alot deeper into the personal issues of the characters and brought forth more hard emotions than the previous few. Made it quite an interesting watch. Not as much humor but some here and there. Now for the finale. Update for episode 8: Quite and interesting finale, very well done over all. Parts toward the end were predictable but only once you got that far into it. Loved the scene before the credits giving away how many seasons they are planning. The scene foreshadowing what's next for the adventure was a nice salute to the original movie with certain baddies reappearing. And then they played the last song, lol. Could be a foreshadowing of how they feel making Willow will be for them, lol. Still and awesome song though.

Quite a good tale very much keeping with the spirit of The Witcher books and in the style of the TV Series. I enjoyed all four episodes very much and found it to be an interesting take on the history of that world that has been hinted at in the books but never fully described. They took Andrzej Sapkowski's world and ideas and fleshed it out in a way to not only spin an as yet untold tale but link it all in quite firmly with many known factors from the books. I've read a few of the bad reviews, most of which seemed to link in that this tale had nothing to do with the books or games, well no duh folks they told you that going into it if you were paying attention and made it quite clear that the author was with them every step of the way and did not involve himself in their creative processes but viewed and approved of every drop they put into it.

I have waited patiently to write this review of the show until all the episodes aired for two reasons. One was the chokehold on the reviews due to review bombing, the other was I wanted to see the whole show and write my review based off of the whole thing. When I watched the first episodes I was instantly in love with the show. To me it perfectly captured the mystical and familiar qualities of the Tolkien world and had an entrancing tale already going on. As I waited quite Impatiently for every new episode every week I would sit and anticipate what might occur each week. I spent a good bit of time discussing it on Discord with friends who were also into the show and liked it and even convinced one sceptic to watch it and they were instantly a fan as well. I do not know how they could have done the show better I could only wish there were more episodes per season. As for when Season 2 will be out, I do not know but many of the interviews seem to say a long long time yet. I am planning to try to avoid spoilers of any type but the ending could not have been better and thank goodness it was not a cliff hanger of any type. If you haven't watched this show yet due to the bombing it initially received or because you feel that your not a 'big enough' fan of the Tolkien world to enjoy it properly, don't worry about it, anyone can enjoy it as it is and if you need references to clear anything up there are metric tons of digital info out there to smooth out things to help. As google has been on a run of not posting any of my reviews lately I do not expect this one to ever be read but as per usual, here's hoping.

So far they are introducing an interesting tale. It's been slow going with the first three episodes but to get this much information into the show would require slower pacing. I'm not certain yet where they are heading towards with the story, other than 'Rogue One' of course, but they are doing it in a very meticulous and deliberate manner. I loved Rogue One when i first saw it and felt it easily took the events from the book Rebel Dawn of the Han Solo Trilogy and converted them into a 'canon' tale appropriately. I would not have imagined that Andor, as a character, would have such a deep and detailed life from before Rogue One but so far they are fleshing it out quite well. A moment on ships, since this is Star Wars after all. The craft from the first episode Andor uses had a very Y-Wing look it would be interesting to know if it was from the same manufacturer as the old Clone Wars warships. The shipyard scene was well done, though it needed more close up shots it was still nice to see a 'real' ship depo. The 'Corpos' transport looked like a flying brick, not much there to talk about, and the landing craft had the old clone 'larty', LAAT/i for the uninitiated, look but failed to be much more than a smaller modernized copy and quite weak seeming at that, not the hero ship of the Clone Wars by far. Luthan Rael's craft made my eyes light up. I'm not certain yet on any details about it but it's a nice looking ride and has some great movement effects so far. Final Note: Several of the reviews I've read have said something similar to: 'This isn't Star Wars'. My only response to that is apparently they've never read a Star Wars book, canon or legend, in their life yet and should bother themselves with the task before pretending to know what 'Star Wars' actually is, after all it WAS a book first.

i watched all 8 episodes of wot and honestly stand alone they might be ok as a series goes if you've never read the books and know little to nothing about them. If you've any hint or clue what the books are about then no, you'll hate the show completely. I do not care for the books myself but that is a whole other ranted review I hope to never need to write. They change stuff bit by little bit right up to the end where they take a massive drastic left turn that still manages to miss Albuquerque completely. The changes are so massive and misdirected at the end I'm not sure what to say about em or how they ever believed people that actually liked wot would ever swallow it, it's crazy. I've read almost all the books and the first season of the show only covers the first book regardless of what else you may have read about the first three books being in the first season. The way it is put together simply loosely takes the events of the story presented in the book and hammers them into the parts they want to tell. Some parts are negligible, no Baerlon, no Caemlyn, no Whitebridge, no Bayle Domon boat ride, lots of skips. Min Farshaw, works at a tavern bar in Fal Dara. Thom Merrilin saves Rand and Mat in a nameless mining town from a girl working as a tavern maid that I assume was supposed to mirror the woman who tried to kill them in the horse barn of the Queen's Man. By episodes 7 & 8 they have taken artistic license to well beyond it's limits and completely re-written the ending of the book Eye of the World to fit the mess they have made. If this show continues with more seasons then they will have "...some 'splaining to do!" to ever straighten it all back out.

The Reason This Film Failed. This is not a movie about G.I. Joe characters, it is a movie about characters in a story that were wrapped up in G.I. Joe characters skins. It's not a bad movie by any means though the frame behind the story is boiler plate basic at best. Two rivals vie for power, one loses and spend his life trying to get revenge. The loser uses a hapless depressed vengeful kid as a method to achieve his vengeance but is turned on in the end when the truth behind his motives is learned. Battle ensues. This is in no way a bad way to make a story but trying to make long established characters fit a story that doesn't fit the characters long established background is a mistake from the first word typed to the page. If any following movies in this reboot try to follow similar methods they will fail as well, no way to avoid it. In this case fruit of the poisoned tree but not in a courtroom.

As much as this movie got awful reviews the facts were overlooked by all the critics that this film is exactly the tone, method, and feel of the two originals. Yes things changed, yes the actress that play the wives are different, yes the two daughters push the 80's/90's laid back, clueless of other people views, 'seriously dude?' lifestyle so easily embodied by Winter and Reeves in both the originals and this newer addition a bit too hard. But if you love Bill & Ted, both originals, and you don't spend most of this movie with a grin if not laughing while doing so, then you missed whatever the critics missed. They weren't trying to make a blockbuster they were telling us how our goofy heroes finally saved the world, by teaching their kids to embrace the world happily so they could mix it all up and make it a song to save all realities. The girls did what Bill and Ted forgot to, they were and built a group to help them because that's what their parents taught them to do, seek help from others in order to help everyone. Whether it was Station and Death jamming down, or the whole amalgamated crew of the school report on history, everyone gained from what Bill and Ted built in the first two, and what their daughter's built for them in the latest one. Classic, fun, happy show like we all loved from the other two.

Always loved UHF from the beginning. Way before it's time and still classic as an 8 Track or LP. Weird Al should petition the movie people to re-release it in theaters, and put out a new box set with Bluray, DVD, VHS, and Old reel to reel type movie projector film for a collectors item. I'd bet Walmart would sell out in a couple weeks.

Having just completed season two I have to say this is still the best version of He-Man out today. Animation style, voices, story telling, all well beyond perfect for a new take on an old show. It may be considered the 'kid-friendly' version but it far outshines the massive cluster f*** orchestrated by Kevin Smith with his complete waste of time in revelation. All in all to put it succinctly: 'Dear Netflix, this show is great! If you still have brains in charge with your company then give this show all the attention and funding it deserves, which is as much as they ask for by the way. While your at it you can cancel Kevin Smith, not just his shows but him too, you'll lose money and popularity being associated with such as that. Thank you for prompt attention to these requests, it will benefit your company and your fans happiness and subscriptions.
