    Loads of Sky One ads, idents, promos, and more from around episodes of The Simpsons and Pokemon back in late 2000. Promos include those for the new series of Ibiza Uncovered, the film Message in a Bottle, Max Steel, and soap gossip programme Hot TV with Lisa Rodgers. youtu.be/-BD8IB8zVnw

    MAX STEEL (2016) It’s very generic, but I can’t say it does the generic stuff badly? I dug Max & Steel’s dynamic, but this movie definitely needed someone with more artistic flair to bring it to life. I haven’t seen the OG cartoon, so IDK how it compares Kinda “eh” vibe?

    I think a lot about what you posted, especially when making toys. Much like film, toys have become too high stakes. Mattel spent $$$$ making their Max Steel 20XX w movie, toys, cartoon, etc and it didn't do what they wanted.But Jurassic Park does,which makes the execs say "no original properties".

    This is a good movie. I watched this with the rest of the Society, and at some points I laughed to the point of suffocation. Max Steel almost killed me.

    Now I have to write: #MaxSteel was a good way to revamp an old series but they didn't use the history that well. After that it should have had a sequel after the movie but it got lost in the shuffle.

    I'm more surprised it earned that much considering that Mattel's Max Steel movie was a complete disaster 🤔

    Max Steel inspired my movie rating system, incidentally. Because I'm not angry, but it's not very satisfying.

    A new kid on the block with the superpower. I am not saying the film was terrible, but the timing was bad. There are loads of great sci-fi films were made recently and still coming out. So to compete with them, they have to go through alteration, even if they loose the origins of their film's theme concept. This story is same as many similar themed flicks. For me, it looked like a mini Superman film, but made for kids. The best thing about it was, keeping everything simple. And then the pace,…
