NeoWanZaeed:
Wash here for Godzilla minus 1 review. It's already on high seas.

Same as Chucky finale too

We never get time watch am yet...
Reviews will be here by weekend

abduleez1:


It's premium good if intelligent Spy series is your jam. But this one isn't action focused like 'em ”24”, "Strike Back". It has copious lengthy dialogue and back and forth and actual espionage not action.

It's an engrossing watch tho if you are into ISIS, Middle Eastern militia groups, Russian oligarch and secret services (FSB & KGB) etc.

I stopped at S2. Still plan to get back to it and complete it sometime in the future.

I think season 3 or 4 was the best season of the show...

I think I stopped around season 6

Ballzproblem2:
God I need X-Men 97 season 2 right now , though the latest episode had a little flaw

Couldn't even finish Episode 6, the plot was all over the place with the "twist" that "somebody" survived and was playing politics with an alliance marriage.

The whole thing with Storm and the demon too just tire me...

It felt like too many concepts were being introduced at once and they didn't fit in to the world...

Anyway, I'm waiting to binge it when the season ends

I remember talking about this scene in my review of Rebel Moon 2

Lol

Chibudollar:
one mutual on Twitter was hyping it up and i just decided to see whats it's all about, Every episode is a banger.

I have a better recommendation to start your anime journey with

Chibudollar:
I don't know if this is part of the Anime y'all always talk about, but I guess I have officially started my Anime journey with this. 😃 This is an Anime right? <(Blue eye samurai)

Someone has explained already...

But it's not considered anime even if technically "anime" includes all animation

Kemistri3:


It was overrated.

Here's my review of it👇🏾

https://www.nairaland.com/8075756/rate-series


Funny some persons compared it to GOT on twitter 😂😂😭

It takes a certain level of media literacy to enjoy some shows tbh...

Shogun

I'll mostly talk about the finale.
I will admit that I expected action but seeing as the last episode was titled "Crimson Sky", I suspected there might not be focus on a big battle here.

And this episode made me understand the last one better. I watched this on the road and I'll do a rewatch later...but this is my current understanding -

Toronaga knew that he stood no chance fighting in a 1v5 battle. So what an army could not do, he sent a woman.

Mariko's goal was to destroy the Allaince led by Ishido against Toronaga. Her goal was to reveal Ishido's nature to the council of regents and most importantly Ochiba.

It's been revealed in past Episodes that Ochiba hated Toronaga out of fear, she even suspected that he caused her father's death even when she had no proof. That fear was what led her to side with Ishido to protect her son, the heir.

Mariko's poem in Episode 9 was actually a message or offer to Ochiba that only Ochiba was able to dicipher. I'm yet to decipher it until a rewatch perhaps...
Ishido's actions regarding Mariko led the council of regents and Ochiba to know what Ishido would do to them immediately Toronaga was killed.

Ishido did not keep to his word to allow Mariko leave but rather assassinated her. Even though he denied it and blamed Toronaga, the regents doubted and Ishido lost the trust of the regents. To them, Toronaga was a man who had lost and had been pushed to a corner while Ishido became their biggest threat.

With Ochiba choosing to side with Toronaga and thus stay out of the war, Ishido has no banner go fight under and no army to aid him in his battle against Toronaga.

Toronaga understood this and knew he had won the coming war already with Ishido having no idea whatsoever.

But then it is revealed that Toronaga's true intentions have always been to become Shogun. He denied it all season but in his heart it was always his goal. It was in his blood. That's why he said at the end "why tell a dead man of the future" when he was asked if he wanted to be Shogun.

In other words, Toronaga basically won the war before lifting his sword.

But because of Toronaga's desire to be Shogun, he lost his closest allies including his closest friend and he ends up alone on the cliff.

I think it basically represents Toronaga being on top of the world without friends by his side. All alone. So he is basically the villain if you see it that way.

As for John Blackthorne's fate, it is revealed that the scenes of him returning to England and being old in England with his English children is merely a dream. In the dream he held on to Mariko's chain necklace. In reality he placed it in the river.

He will never leave Japan but rather be Toronaga's puppet. Toronaga will play him and sink his ship several times if need be to keep him there building a stronger army for Toronaga.

In all, I thought some of the character arcs were solidly completed. But I did not like the conclusion to Ochiba's character.
I wanted to know for sure if Toronaga actually killed her father...or it's merely a figment of imagination borne out of her fear. The show left this plotline unanswered.

Also the way Ochiba chose to side with Toronaga is unconvincing. It also doesn't give closure as there's still about a month before the battle...what if she changes her stance before then?

We also needed to see Ishido's death...and see Toronaga becoming the Shogun.

What is the Heir's fate? Does Toronaga kill him and Ochiba?

There are way too many unanswered questions that a few minutes of added screentime could have cut to.

It was like the show kept edging us but didn't let us nût.

Overall, a really solid show...but the finale could have been better...instead it leaves way too much open to interpretation

Illusioneffect:
Shogun is the kind of series you think is going somewhere but never does
A perfect 7/10 series great characters, decent writing but no epic finale for you

Lol...

Everyone expected an epic battle finale...even me...
But the war had already been won... without him lifting a sword...

Now I finally understand why the previous Episode was titled "Crimson Sky"...
Because that was when the actual plan was concluded...

What an army could not do, he sent a woman to do it...

Still thought they could have extended the Episode and fit in a battle tho...
At the end of the day...he didn't have to say it himself, but he always wanted to be shogun

Baddestguyp:
Started Fallout.

I'm at Episode 2 so far...
Seems pretty average...and not a good introduction for someone who doesn't know anything about the games...

And I absolutely hate the music...

But I heard the show gets very much better later on so I'm sticking out

At Episode 3 now and the show seems to be getting better now

Started Fallout.

Chibudollar:
Bring back 45 minutes 22 episodes per season shows. Enough of this 10 episodes nonsense

I'd rather take 10 Episodes of Canon content that drives the story forward...
Than 22 episodes of pointless filler whereby only 6 episodes are actually important

phr0nesis:

I'm not sure I can watch Neon, but 24 has been on my mind for some time

Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of the best shows I've ever watched...

By the End of Evangelion, you'll be amazed

phr0nesis:

Feel free to call me an id!ot, because as it is, I dislike both series.

Personally I think Better Call Saul is as good or even better than Breaking Bad...

I certainly enjoyed it more than Breaking Bad...

Seasons 1 and 2 of Breaking Bad were a snorefest...
Had to take about 2 years break...from season 3, it became really good...

The only issue I had with Better Call Saul were some visual storytelling... specifically the black and white scenes...I hated them....

I understood the visual storytelling they represented but I still hated them...it got to a point that I began to fast forward every scene in Black and White...

There are better ways to pass the message about future Saul's bleak life than using those...

armadeo:


The same way you see aot is how we see Scrubs. .

I just can't with episodic shows...

Nothing to look forward to... nothing to analyze or theorize about...

Like I said...it's about everyone having a different taste

phr0nesis:

With the way talk about Attack on Titan, if you tell me you've watched it 50 times, I won't doubt you.

Season 8 of Game of Thrones isn't even worth remembering.
I'm yet to watch a single episode of 24 and Neon Genesis

Lol...about AOT. I'm obsessed with the show...
Season 4 blew my mind.


Season 8 of GOT destroyed the show so much that people just stopped talking about GOT...

You should watch 24....the first season is a repititive drag but the show overall is very good...

Neon Genesis too...the first half feels like the typical monster of the week with some character study...
Till you later start getting reveals that turn the show around...

By the final movie - End of Evangelion, it becomes so complex that it's still getting dissected for over 20 years

oyaskii:
Sitcoms are rarely about "plot", as each episode has it's own "plot", and as such you can watch any episode at random after your first run plus most sitcom are about 21 minutes top. The plot most times aren't "head scratchers, so with all these, i believe sitcoms are one of the easiest medias to consume.

And that's why I can't watch sitcoms tbh...

I prefer story-driven movies/shows...

I don't like episodic shows at all

Baddestguyp:
Rebel Moon Part Two: The Scargiver....7/10


This movie was better than the first but the underlying issues remain...

Characters...characters...characters...


Rather than spending time developing many of the characters, the movie spent more time using music and "emotional baits" to attempt to get us to care about the characters...

The only characters who seemed to be slightly more developed in this movie were General Titus and Kora...

take Nemesis for instance...I doubt Nemesis spoke up to 5 lines in the entire movie...
Are we supposed to care about a character who doesn't even speak just because emotional music is played during her scenes and she wears a sad facial expression?

The same goes for several other characters in this movie...rather than spending time developing these characters, what we get is emotional or epic music during their scenes and good cinematographic shots...

In other words, my complaints regarding characters from the first movie still stands...

Second aspect is lore...
It feels like the lore in this world makes no sense but is merely there for stylistic purposes...

Take for instance the scene where the former king was killed...with the instrumentalists playing at the background...what were they there for?

Why would anyone stage an assassination with a whole band playing in the same room? It serves no purpose apart from style...


The same goes for the Scribes who came out to the battlefield during the negotiations even though they were easy targets there...
Why exactly were they there? So the scenery and costume looks good?

You don't need Scribes out in the middle of the battlefield recording events...when their books gets destroyed immediately...
It makes them just look stûpid...

And why is Kora called the Scargiver?
What exactly did she do to earn that nickname?
I kept asking myself if I missed something in the movie as to why she got that nickname because something like "princess Slayer" would be more fitting
Or "king Slayer" because she was falsely accused of killing the king


The plotline with the robot still feels like a useless addition...

The biggest improvement from the first movie was the action sequences for me...
There were still slow-motion sequences but at least, now the action scenes felt like they were better directed...

The Cinematographic shots of villagers harvesting grains was tiring to watch...
It felt like an elongated farming simulator without the story depth to go with it...

A group of old villagers who never used guns until 2 days before the invasion somehow being good at shooting is so unrealistic (since they spent 3 out of the 5 days harvesting grains)...

Characters fighting heroically in the front lines out in the open without cover while you could see shots flying everywhere around them looks only epic to an 8 years old...
But very dûmb to any adult watching the movie...

The second half of the movie at the end of the day is still an enjoyable watch especially since the second half is basically a long battle with millions of huge explosions...Synder style...

.

NeoWanZaeed:


Wasn't emotional? I rest my case dude

More like emotional bait...

The movie was trying to reap without sowing...

Playing sorrowful music during death of characters who barely had any interaction throughout the movie...

oyaskii:


Scrubs! ❤️.

My fave sitcom of all time, An absolute delight each time i get to re see it, and i never seem to get tired or bored of it lol.

A good friend of mine, sent me all seasons, back in 2014, and ever since then, Bar S9, i think i have ran through all other seasons more than 10 times since then.

Top tier show fr ✨

Watching 9 seasons of a sitcom?

Omo...I no fit...tastes differ...

If you don't offer good plot, I'm out lol...

NeoWanZaeed:


Most people are only interested in the fight scenes and expected expectations of them about a movie to be actualise lol


Movies... Should be to expect unexpected.

Everybody that dislike this movie hates or dislike Snyder lol..

Even as great as his Justice League movie is.. most still dislike him.



Zack is the cr7 of movies

Na me you talk say only dey Interested in fight scenes?

Na wa oh...

Maybe you didn't know who you were arguing with

One of my favorite shows last year was Vinland Saga S2. The entire season of 24 Episodes had only like 2 or 3 short fight scenes...

Literally 70% of the season was about characters farming...

But I only enjoy action scenes according to you...smh...


I watched 3 Body Problem like some week back and even went into a deep dive on the lore and story spoilers...but according to you I can't enjoy a show without action

phr0nesis:

No matter how much I love a series, I can't watch it twice. I can rewatch a few scenes, but the entire series? No no. Baba you try
I liked the first 5 episodes, but the last 3 fell flat (IMO)

I've watched Attack on Titan about 3 times on my own...
Then through reaction channels and normal Rewatching of random episodes...

I can say I've watched Attack on Titan over 30 times lmao


I've seen Game of Thrones twice...but my rewatch ended at season 6. Seasons 7 and 8 are not worth it...

I've seen 24 twice. I've seen Neon Genesis Evangelion twice.

DieRich5:
dem for end Vinland for S1

Wetin you dey talk sef?

Vinland Saga season 2 is better than season 1.
Season 2 is an absolute masterpiece.

You didn't see how people were raging cos Vinland Saga S2 didn't win anime of the year?

nani667:
Season 2


5 / 10

As long as them no give you open bôobs every 5 minutes, you no fit like am

NeoWanZaeed:


You absolutely have no idea about what you are talking about. This is why it's sad to copy reviews. You'll end up saying something else entirely.

None of my review centres on the musicals or sad faces lol..it's very funny for someone reviewing to think people get hooked to musicals and sad faces as if it'll cover for bad writing and characters assassination lol.

You're just a joke at this point...lol...

Once you see valid criticism, your next defence is that I don't understand the movie or I copied the criticism...

What a shiit defence...

I pointed out flaws but rather than address those flaws you keep beating round the bush and making weird claims

One day you will remove your mouth from Zack Synder's balls and finally admit to his bad character writing

NeoWanZaeed:


Seems you copied this your criticism from somewhere lol

You keep talking on music and sad faces meanwhile non of my review on the movie was about that lol

I'm simply talking about the technique you fell for...

Go and find where you think I copied my criticism from...

It's not today I've been typing reviews or criticism on media on this thread

NeoWanZaeed:


She lives for revenge bro. Regardless of whatever she's said. Everyone is out to get the imperium

You absolutely don't understand the characters nor their writing..in this rebel moon..

Well, let's agree to disagree.

I don't ag with your point and so do you mine

The movie is top notch. It's Snyder you don't like not the movie.

It's only Sucker Punch I'll say the writing was poor but the actions lived up to cover for it

I love how you respond to criticism with "you don't understand the movie/characters"

Lmao...

You also ignored everything I wrote about how her character regressed then returned back to what it was...
Or how the character I'm supposed to feel sad for somehow has less than 10 lines of dialogue in the 2 hours movie despite the poor character work done for her in the first movie

Two whole movies and yet Synder cannot do anything but lazy character work on Nemesis...lol


I don't have any issue with Synder...I'm simply criticizing his writing... especially his character writing...

You fell for the cheap emotional baits...I didn't...

That's the difference between me and you...
I look at quality of writing...
You, once they give you cheap underserved emotional music...you simply forget all the terrible character writing and start crying at how epic and emotional the scene is...lmao

NeoWanZaeed:


Do you understand tenent

You keep talking about Nemesis .. what's wrong with nemesis.


She lost everything including her children. Be like say you no watch her introduction in part 1.

In part 2, during confessions, she shared more on her pain. The little boy warming up to her, the little boi saving her and in turn dieing for to save the little boy..

That's the peak and perfect character analysis and death of the character. She died happy.


Like I said.. go re watch or you have no idea what's going on in the movie at all..


That's how you were all talking about character development in part 1..

If you want full character development of each of the main characters..

Sit back and get ready for Zack Snyder Justice League type for rebel moon..

Within few minutes, he's able to do justice to character development of all but General Titus to which I'm sure will shed more light on in part 3.

Here again you missed my point on Nemesis..maybe I have to repeat myself...

Nemesis in part 1 did not want to join the crew for revenge...she said she was against revenge...yet General Titus was sold in her presence on joining them for revenge. That is issue#1

In part 2, all of a sudden she's after revenge. This means her character regressed. Issue #2

Then finally she died to save the people at the barn...at the end she wasn't fighting for revenge but to save.

A character going from fighting to save to fighting for revenge to fighting to save again...it shows to confused character writing...

Secondly...she had almost no dialogue in this movie...she had like 10 lines...yet we are supposed to mourn her because sad music was played in a scene where she died to save some civilians?

It's a case of lazy character work that relies solely on baiting the audience with sad music. You fell for it...I didn't...

Zack Synder is terrible when it comes to character writing...
It seems you don't know what good character writing is...that's why you're saying all these...
