Okay, enough lurking. It's time for me to do something I should've done a LONG time ago.
Funny story about why I haven't been feedbacking lately. I decided to hold my feedback until a bunch of new reviews had been posted, so that I could put all of it in one, big post instead of several tiny ones. Y'know, to save bandwidth. I was going to wait until the
L&tT2 review had been uploaded to post my thoughts, but I just figured out that starting tomorrow, I will be gone until the 25th, so I'm going to post it now before it gets too late.
Great review on
Bionicle 3 , Aaron! The DVD doesn't look bad, but it sure doesn't look good, either. I'm hardly a
Bionicle fan, but I would've probably been interested in this because of the voice cast, which contains a lot of accomplished anime-dub voice actors that an Japanimation-geek like me would recognize. I'm glad you found a few things to like about the movie (animation, musical score), but it must be a bummer to review something that you didn't entirely enjoy. But whether you liked the movie or not, that doesn't change the fact that it was a nicely written review.
I also must compliment Aaron on his beautifully-written
Dumbo review. Having never seen
Dumbo, your review really got me excited about the movie, and even gave me a little background information on it that I didn't know. For example, I had no idea Sterling Holloway was in the film, nor did I know that it was released to theaters on my birthday (well, I wasn't born in 1941, but I was born on Oct. 23). Of course, I've had the DVD since it came out, and I've really enjoyed everything about it, especially the movie, which is now one of my favorite films from the Walt-era. I think you can judge the excellence of a review by how excited it makes the person reading it, and since it made me really anxious to see the movie, I can honestly say the review was awesome.
Luke, I really enjoy your sitcom reviews particularly because of how much information you give about the history of the show. I'm not sure why, but when I read about how the show's rating were, how people were responding to the show, and what the cast was doing during the season, it really makes me appreciate the show more. Although this time, I'm afraid I learned a little too much more than I wanted to. I had no idea Earl Hindman was dead!
I'm not sure what rock I've been living under to not know that, but it's still such a huge disappointment. But I'm getting off-topic. The review was informative, funny, and it really made me want the set, which I'm going to get sometime, along with the other seasons of
Home Improvement. I can tell a lot of research, (tool) time, and effort went into the review, and it was a great read. The only downside is that I now blame you for me being $40 poorer.
I'm not sure if this is where it goes, but I also enjoyed the
Cars merchandise review/report. My hat is off to whoever wrote it.
And last but not least, I've got to comment of
Escapay's first UD review! Whooo! I enjoyed reading it, Albert, and I was amused when you were addressing the many cliché points about the
Power Rangers franchise (why
do they focus on the red ranger so much?), and I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the series as much as you hoped you would. Nonetheless, I enjoyed reading it, and if I do say so myself, I think you'd be a very good UD critic, should you decide to do more reviews.
I feel like a review reviewer. Oh well, keep up the great work, guys!
I just assumed for some reason that it was a he. Sorry again!
Well done, Aaron, and PlutoRegion1 you took the words right out of my mouth...er...fingers...er...brain? Lol, but the big that did worry me was the transfer. I'm thankful there's not grain, but the colors looked faded in the screen capture. How could that happen if it is being restored? Isn't the colors improved in other restorations like the Sleeping Beauty SE?
When Disney took over
(Same goes for everyone else who has done the same.)
