OK, this was intended to be done in a lot of stages. I asked for input and nothing came, sadly so I'm having to improvise. But 2016 is over and there's a lot of cr*ppy movies, games and comics to review. 2017 will see me make a start with the Superman movies, hoping to cover 4 of them this year and returns in early 2018. We'll doing a few more DC rebirth reviews and looking briefly at some titles from Marvel Now 2.0, I'll be introducing a new review format which I'll explain later and hopefully I'll be doing a few more crossovers with GregsChan1. I hope to at the very least.
But today is about reflection. So let's take a look at my top 5 cock-ups that I myself have made up.

Xmas Special - Arron Redbeard Adventures - The 12 Deaths of Christmas
Christmas
has come once again and it’s time to look back at those mistakes you’ve made
and work a little course-correction. I’ll try and do more of that with my next
segment but for now, it’d be hypocritical if I didn’t once in a while trash my
own stories. This is the 12 Deaths of Christmas.
Let’s start
with the title. You can already tell this is going to be depressing. But it’s
that and so much worse. Also, it’s a lie, there aren’t 12 deaths in this story.
Depending on how you see it there could be a hell of a lot more.

Vixen season 2 review (CW Seed)
Vixen,
whilst not a perfect series by any means was a good introduction to her
character and good enough that she made a few appearances in live action and
her mother is now a regular on Legends of Tomorrow. Also, a second series of web-shorts
have been released further exploring her character. So, did it offer any
improvements, let’s take a closer look

#41 Captain Sabertooth and the Treasure of Lama Rama
Remember
Dazzler? I do. They’re the distributor who gave us Antboy, the terribly dubbed awfully
acted piece of sh*t that stands in my top 10 least favourite things I’ve done a
Rage Review on (guess the top 2, go on, it’s not that hard) anyway, I’m doing
another review of a movie from that studio… fun times…
Captain
Sabertooth is apparently a thing in Norway, with books, stage-plays, theme park
attractions and a TV series. Here we have a movie adaptation badly dubbed into
English. Yay… Because this is Dazzler media, I have to mention something about
cost, this is the most expensive Norwegian kids movie ever made.
Released in
2014 during the massive hiatus of Pirates of the Caribbean due to their various
production issues. The film gathered a mixed reception to say the least, it has
a 5.7 rating on IMDb and a 0% audience approval rating on rotten tomatoes,
although that’s based on just 5 ratings, compared to IMDb’s 406. But let’s see if
this movie delivers the swashbuckling action I’d look for in a pirate movie.
Spoilers:
No, it doesn’t.

Uncharted 4 - A Thief's End Story mode review
It’s time to
have a look at a video game for a change. We haven’t done one since the
Ratchetrospective back in March. Let’s have a look at one of the year’s most
anticipated games, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s end
Uncharted 4:
A Thief’s end was a PS4 release but had a lot of trouble behind the scenes with
the resignation of various members of the crew to the point where various parts
of the game were completely redone. The behind the scenes ruckus lead to those
who headed The Last of Us, Naughty Dog’s other hit PS3 game, to head the
project and the result the story is significantly changed from its original intent.
Hard to say if it’s for the better of the worse, no gameplay or story footage
was ever released, just a teaser trailer.
But I don’t
wish to judge what could have been, I’m more interested in the here and now,
let’s start with the plot. Notes, if you don’t know the story of Uncharted 1-3,
play them, they’re all good games, also this is spoiler heavy, you have been
warned. I've added a few screenshots using the game's photo mode, but I forgot to turn off the ui on some of them, whoops.
