Will the real Arthur please stand up?

Not having seen the original Arthur, I had no expectations regarding this movie.  In fact, having seen other movies in which Russell Brand was both good and bad, I estimated that this movie would be either very good or very bad--a toss up.

Arthur gets going rather slowly.  The initial parts of the movie depicting the man-child antics of a dipsomaniac rich-boy get a little tiresome after a while.  Brand's engaging off the wall energy gets a little strained as we learn in detail why Arthur is the kind of person he has become.

The last part of the movie is both sweet and funny.  It serves as a payoff for one's patience with the extended exposition.  Helen Mirren's character helps Arthur to finally realize that he has to grow up.  The scenes leading up to the climax at the wedding are very funny. Brand's scene at wedding shower is an absolute hoot.

Nick Nolte and Jennifer Garner engage in a fierce competition throughout the picture to win the title of the most dislikable character in the show.  Nolte's rough-hewn larger than life presence is hard to beat, but I believe that Garner indeed beats him out, in the end, as the biggest jerk in the movie.  Both did a solid job.

I should mention Helen Mirren.  Her performance in the supporting role of Hobson is excellent.

This was a pretty decent movie, redeemed by the ending of the show.

His trolley is a little short for him and won't stand on It's own as pictured, but another figure can hold on to steady it. It just looks a little odd because the trolley needs to be held far back for the other figure to hold it. But it is Hannibal lecter, so that's pretty great anyway.

Looks great, but won't stand up without slipping a guitar pick under the front of his feet. Maybe that's a built-in feature, since he seems to stumble in all of the classic G'nR videos... Ha!  Other than that, the figure is tip-top!

I also have the Funko "Lemmy" (Motorhead) figure and he stands proud. I suppose he had a few decades of extra practice under his belt and has mastered the artistry of Jack Daniel's versus gravity.

Love the look and the quality, except it won't stand up on its own.  Really, Daryl can survive the zombie apocalypse but can't stand on its own . . . .  Now I need to find a stand for it.  Grrrrrrr

This last book of the trilogy did not hold my interest as much as the two earlier novels.  I had to put down the book for a week by the time the narrator reached the final battle.  One wonders why or how the Arthur character could be so dense as to sacrifice the stability of his Briton by letting the deeply flawed Mordred reign.

Place a tiny bit of putty under the left innermost toe, and he stands up much better. It is unbelievably detailed, a great sculpture.  Relative to Triceratops, he might be a little smallish.  It would be a good victory if he could take the vegi down!

Count Arthur Strong is the funniest. Currently a huge success in sold-out live shows across Britain, a hit on BBC television (the series is now entering the 3rd season), and these brilliant years of his BBC radio show that launched 'his' career. Every episode is golden.

A very enjoyable read. Well written, but light on plot. It continues the Arthur story but does not build, or hold, suspense. I could put it down, but I always picked it up again. If you've read the preceding volumes then, by all means, carry on! If you have not read the other volumes in the series this one will probably not hook you. Although it will stand on its own, this is neither the best place to start nor the best book in the series

The Tragedy of Arthur plays with so many things.  It plays with unreliable narrators, it plays with the idea of fiction and non-fiction, it plays with family dynamics and it plays with Shakespeare.  The (maybe) reliable narrator of this amazing accomplishment has the same name as the author, Arthur Phillips.  The book is theoretically an introduction to a lost Shakespeare play found by the author's father.  A previously incarcerated forger.  Honestly, there is so much unreliability - an unreliable faux Arthur Phillips writing about his unreliable fake of a father - that the book makes your head spin, but in a good way.  For fans of Shakespeare, heist books, James Frey and footnotes.

Looks pretty real to me. I haven't pu tit up yet, because I have to drill into the wall outside of  house to be able to  put it up, but once it's up I think that It will look pretty decent.

It's canon Sherlock!  How could it not rock?  It's perfect, (and to be honest it's better than I expected) Now, since dear old Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has been gone for so long...  Hello fanfiction!

It seems fitting that book five of this series should proceed at a measured pace giving the young Arthur time to grow toward becoming the legendary king.
The details of life as it might have been after the  Roman recessional continues to hold the reader's interest as do the  adventures chronicled in "..Rivers Bend."
Mr. Whyte has done  his homework in regard to a couple of key elements of this series. By so  doing he bolsters the credibility of other faucets of his work in which the  reader might not have detailed knowledge.  The iron working techniques  described were known to the sword makers of Damascus and might well have  been within the ken of such cosmopolitan Romans as Varrus and Britanicus.  His assessment of meteoric iron as a superior source of blade steel has  some historical precedent. James Bowie's knife was "forged from a  piece of a star."  The persistence of republican Roman ideals long  after the Empire had moved into despotism and decline is quite believable.  They could well have provided the same cultural anchor for Camelot as they  later did for the 18th Century Enlightenment and the fledgling American  Republic.
Not surprisingly, book five of the series is not the place to  start reading the Camulod Chronicles. It is however, a very satisfying  installment. This reader eagerly awaits the next volume

Batman from Arkham Origins is a pretty decent figure. He doesn't come with any accessories. Mine has a broken left ankle, it won't straighten out, so it looks like a broken ankle. He won't stand on his own no matter what i do. Its not bad but could have been made better.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has been portrayed in the popular media as a gullible fool . . . and nothing could be farther from the truth.

He saw many things, incredible things, in the seances which he attended. One would be hard put, even today, with so much info at our command, to replicate the phenomena that so impressed Conan Doyle.

So what is one to make of it all? I  don't know. Recognizable spirit faces and full-body apparitions of one's mother and other intimate beings; closely guarded secrets made known by those who could not possible know; fingerprints of a deceased brother, left behind at a seance,  verified by the Navy records. . .  it is baffling. And cold-reading, mentalism,  and conjuring arts do not explain it.

Sir Arthur saw spiritualism as a blessed relief from his harsh and tortuous Roman Catholic upbringing. He saw it as a scientifically verifiable  demonstration of the world of Spirit intruding on the world of crass materialism, a life-giving fountain of refreshing water in a wasteland of modern decadence and vulgarity.

Sir Arthur was well aware of the charlatans and money-grubbers that the movement was attracting, but he saw genuine practitioners of the spiritual arts, and championed them. He was opposed, attacked, villified,  by both the scientific materialists, and the organized religions.

I was surprised and gratified to learn of his high morals, his skepticism, and his unrelenting search for truth.

 I admire the man considerably.

Nicely done, as I would expect of NECA. The details are great, the articulation is good, but as other reviewers have stated, I've found it near impossible to stand up without leaning it against something.

This figure is very well detailed. Cerberus is well detailed too. You can even put Cerberus on his gun holster. The only bad thing is that you cant move his arms from the waist up. Other than that play arts did a good job on Vincent. Get him before the prices goes up, like Tifa and Red XII.

Zero complaints about the seller- the item arrived quickly and in good condition. Unfortunately, this particular stance of ole George makes it so there needs to be a fold at his elbow and so there is very littler reinforcement there. Within a couple hours of putting this up, George's arm was sort of wobbling there in a sad way. Poor George.
