Battle Of The Hood And Bismarck (DVD)

Advantages: Amazing value for money, great DVD and impressive looking Transformers figures !!!
Disadvantages: Hard to find at a reasonable price ... it's become a collectors item (which pushes up the price)

... Transformers Animated: The Battle Begins DVD Boxed Set AWESOME The Transformers Animated: The Battle Begins DVD Boxed Set is brilliant ... not only does it contain the DVD 'The Battle Begins' but it also comes with two fantastic Transformers Animated Figures !!! 'The Battle Begins' is a DVD that introduces the new Transformers Animated series ... a sort of 'Pilot Episode' that sets the scene for the ultimate battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons and the quest for the elusive All Spark !!! It is a great DVD for Transformers fans of all ages and an ideal episode to introduce younger fans to the animated series. However, it is the two Transormers Figures themselves that make this set extra special because they are, infact ,the two greatest Transformers of all time - Optimus Prime and Megatron !!! Also...

This DVD is made up of the LAST four episodes of the series, so after this you will left... Read review

Advantages: Stunning commentary on a dystopic future
Disadvantages: Too dark and controversial for some audiences

...note: also appears on my film review website, ShaunMunro.co.uk, and Dooyoo! Battle Royale, the adaptation of Koshun Takami's fabulous novel of the same name, is near enough controversy at 24 frames per second, unleashing a downbeat, counter-culture, subversive tone from its matter-of-fact opening, to its twist-filled end. Much furore has surrounded the fact that this film is still unreleased in America (contrary to the belief that the film was banned), most postulating that a film involving school kids killing each other is simply too close to the bone in the wake of the Columbine, and more recently, Virginia Tech shootings (which means that things don't bode well for the already ill-fated American remake of this film). Much comparison has been drawn to Kubrick's cerebral masterpiece A Clockwork Orange, in how both films accompany... Read review
