Ok, so having watched the "live action" remake of Disneys Snow White (though calling it live action is a massive stretch given 98% is computer generated) I feel I'm qualified to give my honest thoughts on what is already proving a very devisive release.
First the positives - well, as annoying as Rachel Zegler has been over the making and release of this film personally, there's absolutely no denying the girl can sing (unlike Gal Gadot - more on that…
First time watching the classic animated 1937 Walt Disney film and I was astounded by how amazing the hand drawn animation looks!! Honestly a true technical marvel, hard to believe this was achieved 88 years ago!!! and not a computer in sight.
The film itself while fun does feel a little laboured if I'm honest and it tends to suffer the fate of all movie length adaptations of short stories. The most bizarre thing here being that so much time…
Another year and another "bright idea" from RTD about massively editing (incredibly badly) and colourising a classic black and white Dr Who story - supposedly to appeal to "modern audiences".
The thing is, much like the edited and colourised The Daleks last year, The War Games just ends up being a confusing hastily edited mess, albeit a "pretty" one thanks to the addition of colour. The colour here looked worse than the colourised Daleks to my eyes - I noticed…
So on the evening of the 60th Anniversary of Doctor Who I sat down to watch the newly colourised heavily cut down version.
Well, the colourisation was OK- not great by any means but better than I'd expected it to be. The editing was a bit choppy and uneven with on screen references to scenes that had been cut out to save time and some of the added CGI (like the static scenes of the TARDIS arriving and leaving Skaro)…
