People don't understand how I rate my movies sha...
I rate based on what I believe is the selling point or focus of it

E.g I rate Knives out based on it's plot mostly...I rate it's complex plot

I rate a comedy movie based on it's comedy or jokes
If a movie is satire focused I rate it based on it
If a movie is based on character psychology I rate it based on it
If a movie promises to tell a weird and crazy story or events, I rate based on it

Etc
Etc

And finally I also consider Enjoyment factor cos it's entertainment...I don't drop random reviews here...I consider

That is why if you sell a movie on complex plot, and I watch based on that, but the plot is wack and instead has good comedy...I will give it poor rating...cos that is not it's focus

I did not watch Jojo for plot so I will never rate based on plot why I will say Jojo has no plot (meaning it lacks complex plot)
Peacemaker wasn't sold as a movie with a complex plot also...
That is why even though I said it has no plot I gave it high rating...
You are wrapping yourself in a maze....all these you mentioned are plot, simply put you rate movies based on plot.

Another example...
If you advertise a detective movie...but instead the detective work in that movie is so bad...
But the movie has jokes that makes me laugh and enjoy...
Do you think I'll rate it as 10/10 cos I laughed?
No ...
I'll rate it 1/10 for its focus...then 10/10 for Enjoyment...
Then I'll probably give it a 4/10 as total

But Peacemaker has no complex plot...if I were to rate it on plot complexity...I'll give it a 4/10 at best...

But I didn't rate it on that cos that's not what I went into the movie expecting...
So I gave it an 8/10

not the same sir...
Plot is the narrative or story...the story you tell itself, the way it is narrated etc are things I consider...

Comedy is different from plot
Character is different from ot
Etc

Peacemaker had a coherent plot and followed it while still making things interesting with subplots throughout...that's why you enjoyed it and many other people too.

main plot - neutralize the butterflies
subplot - will peacemaker get with harcourt
subplot - will adebayo go with her mums wishes or will she side with the team
subplot - whats the deal with peacemakers white power dad?
subplot - what are the butterflies really about?
subplot - whats the deal with vigilante and why does he look up to peacemaker when hes obviously better

throw in the movie trope about free will chaos and guided will utopia

naa the series was an empty piece of shit

Plot is much more than a narrative or story...it is the putting together a series of events involving characters, dailogues to form a narrative or a story, these series of events is where the comedic or thriller elements as the case may be comes in.

if I were to follow what you just said...
Then basically all movies are to be rated only on one thing ....plot cos according to you it encompasses all...

Sorry to say but you are very wrong ...
When reviewing a work...
There are many things considered:

Plot, Themes, Characters, music, etc...
If it is comedy focused, things like comedy will be given its own category...

I may not drop reviews by giving full headings and all here...
But that is how I also calculate in my mind...then I drop the total here...

My reviews aren't random


No be today I dey review movies...before I review I take so many things into consideration...then I drop total here ...
You may not like all or agree with all...no problem...every reviewer is not always 100% agreed with ...even my fav Critical Drinker I don't 100% agree all the time...but that's how reviews are

Baddestguyp:
Saying a movie follows a plot driven writing is not the same as saying the focus of the movie is on plot ..
It's the exact same thing, chief. It's all a matter of semantics, really. The emphasis is on plot, which serves as the narrative's focal point.

* Plot focus; refers to a story's plot as its focal point.

* Plot-driven; one in which the plot is the driving force behind the story.

Therefore, plot focus is basically a synonym for plot driven.


Baddestguyp:

A comedy movie can also follow a plot driven writing...
A movie that is basically 99% action will probably also follow same...
Yes, so...?


Baddestguyp:

There's this actiom movie I'm trying to remember...99% of the movie is just fight...and yet it follows a plot driven writing...
But is the complex plot a focus of the movie?@ VerifiedStalin
A plot-driven story is exactly that, no matter how complex it is.

Interstellar...wow...just wow...

Nolan at it again 10/10 masterpiece
There is a reason I always love Nolan movies and he's my favorite director...he doesn't write all these popcorn movies...

Anyway I won't drop much spoilers...
But it's basically set out in the near future where Earth has become inhabitable and about a farmer and ex-NASA pilot who was sent on a mission to find a new colony/planet to sustain humanity.

I normally don't watch science fiction movies but this i thoroughly enjoyed this...

Everything from the story to the music to the direction to the visual effects, cinematography is amazing...

Nolan is just so creative...his movies blow my mind Everytime

It's so crazy that a lot could have been avoided if they'd simply listened to Brand...her choice wasn't objective but based on love but she was right...

At the end of the day, it was clear that time was set in a closed loop...so it wasn't gonna happen anyway
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Baddestguyp(m): 6:16pm On Apr 22, 2022
I'm gonna research on some of the science I saw in Interstellar... although since it's fiction I know quite a lot is based on theory rather than fact...
Especially those about the Black Hole and wormhole.

About 70% of the science used in that movie was factual and has been proven...
A true masterpiece.
