Sissy: Some RtCW to start the day off right! Will Rabia Season Nine get the Wolf juices flowing for you? Depends.
Eggbert: You wear adult diapers?
Sissy: Not the adult diapers you moron. I mean, will they like it? It depends. This movie is down to individual taste. Do you watch films for the flash or for the action? Because this one has very little flash, but is pretty thick on the action. Rabia Season Nine starts off with a so-so intro. Nothing more than some swirly effects really, but it's the music, not the graphics, that make the intro enjoyable. The intro music sort of gives you the feeling that an epic battle is about to take place.
Eggbert: I thought this movie was more of a demo with music really. I'm not sure how I feel about this. Perhaps I need a burrito and some time to think about it.
Sissy: No burritos, you always mess the couch when you eat those things. I agree with you though. Rabia Season Nine did give off essence of demo. The movie wasn't very flashy, and the lack of effects made the film seem too long. The action was fast-paced and fun to watch, but it was old by the end. I would have liked to have seen one of two things from this movie. Shorter run time or some fun effects to keep me interested right through to the credits.
Eggbert: Agreed. By the end of the movie I was busy flipping through this month's issue of PlayZombie. WOO, look at the rack of ribs on that one!
Sissy: I'm going to have to call boners down on the music as well. It was all metal. But if you're in to that sort of thing then you should enjoy Rabia Season Nine. Overall, nice graphics, good action, but really little more than a glorified demo due to the lack of special effects.
Eggbert: I can't decide if I liked it or not. Definite lack of donuts in this film. I'll be on the toilet thinking about my final score if you need me.
Sissy: Every couple of months we just have to go with a trickjumping movie. Why? Because they're fun! In limited doses of course. So if you like watching some smooth moves here and there then Touch The Sky isn't all too shabby. So sit back, take in the sights. Learn something new or just marvel again at something old.
Eggbert: Well I guess our work here is done. You pretty much just did the whole review in twenty words of less. So what's for lunch?
Sissy: Judging by the gas you've been passing for the last thirty minutes, I'd say you've already had lunch... and then some. Anyway, I'm sure there's much more we can say about this movie. So start yapping or the bacon gets it!
Eggbert: That's pretty cold, holding my bacon hostage like that. FINE! But let the record show that I hate you!
Sissy: Bah, who am I fooling? You couldn't rub two thoughts together even if bacon DID depend on it. Let's get down to business here. Reading over my notes here one word comes to mind... "Average". Graphics were average. Lighting was a bit on the weak side, too bright to really bring much atmosphere to the film. The effects were minimal and I found the music to be boring.
Eggbert: So to sum up your big assed ramble-fest, the movie sucked?
Sissy: I wouldn't say that at all. I did enjoy watching the tricks, and this movie was about content, not flash. That's not to say I wouldn't have minded some added quality and flash, but overall I rather enjoyed it. I just wish they had of brought a little more to the directorial table. You have to love the credits though. The real people dancing topped it off nicely. In a creepy sort of way.
Eggbert: Yes, very creepy. What was Klass thinking? I'm gonna have nightmares! Quick, someone get me a burger to make the pain go away!
Sissy: So to sum things up... a fairly average movie overall, but one that trickjump fans will want to scoop up and savor regardless. One boney up!
