Let's be realistic.
I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
View Moren my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
View MoreThis is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
View MoreBased on the successful book series published by Scholastic (with new titles still being published, mind you), this romp through historical mishaps, deaths, kings and queens, battles, language, and the inevitable fart and poo jokes.Each episode jumps around between time periods and locations. Being a British show, Europe is the main focus, but the Ancient Incas, Egyptians, and Arab doctors don't escape the HH treatment.Don't expect a hard hitting documentary, or even a loosely connected series of events. This is sketch comedy with a factual edge. It does its best to show accurate events, but mixes it in with some deliberate anachronistic elements.Well acted, well written, just a lot of fun for kids of all ages - adults as well if you aren't too proud to admit it.
View MoreI am a 53 year old woman in Texas and I came upon this program on HULU. It's obviously for kids, but I AM HOOKED. I was searching for funny shows to watch in the evenings to help me decompress after a hard days work, and this show does the job. I don't know how accurate it is; For example, the costumes for the Incas and Aztecs are almost identical and in some cases, the backdrop and props look more like something you'd see in a South Pacific village rather than Mezo America. But that's okay because the show is wonderfully funny. I watch it solely for its comical merit and not historical accuracy. The humor is intelligent, sharply witty and sometimes grossly juvenile; reminiscent of The Monty Python skits from back in the day. With the exception that Horrible Histories (HH) also has an incredibly talented musical writing team (their musical skits are absolutely FABULOUS) and a wonderfully multi-talented cast -- they all sing, dance, act and are very, very funny.I highly recommend it to anyone age 12 and above. Please keep those great episodes coming HH!
View MoreI love this show so much! It's hilarious, it's not boring at all and a great way to learn history. I watch it with my mum and dad every night and they too enjoy it. I know all the words to most songs, and thanks to Horrible Histories, I know all the English kings and queens, things about Charles the 2nd etc. Some of the song film clips resonates well with an older audience, as they are copies of older songs. They creatively add riff offs of shows, such as 'Historical Masterchef', 'Historical Apprentice' and 'Historical Dentist.' If you haven't watched it, I would definitely give it a go as it is funny and entertaining. As you watch the series you begin to get attached to some of the main characters, like we have, so it makes it more fun. 10/10 I love it so much.
View MoreWe're really not liking it. It doesn't have that flow. The old cast had a good rapport & worked so well together. This new cast is very wooden. It's like they're playing their role, but not living it. The old cast really looked like they were having FUN! I don't know why CBBC decided to do this. It's completely turned my family off the series. Perhaps it's the writing The episodes are just too disjointed to hold a child's attention. Each episode is focused on something specific in history - Napoleon, the Magna Carta, Henry VII. It looks like it should flow, rather than the old method of skits of many different historical facts, but it doesn't. It's too dry and not jaunty enough. The cast just looks so uncomfortable and out of place.Very sad to see the series go like this. Up till now we have loved it.Horrible Histories RIP.
