Is it just me or has 2023 served up some bare ass flicks so far. I thought 2023 was gonna bang movie wise instead we have been served more poo than actual meal.

There's no denying the dip in quality of movie and music especially post COVID but this year might actually be the worse. Might be too early to judge and write the year off tho. Holding out hope for GOTG Volume 3, "The Flash", Oppenheimer, Dune 2 and Killers of the flower moon... These are my "Holy Grail".


Creed 3 and John Wick are the only 2 that managed to live up to the hype in 2023.

Damn....so many flops this year

True, but the juicy movies are yet to show up. It's mainly this April towards May in preparation for summer we start seeing the more serious stuff.
This year has the most promising lineup since 2019 I've ever seen both blockbuster wise and genre-fare wise.

I don't see this year being worse like 2020-21.

The jury is out on "Creed 3" been top tier and I'm hearing good things about JW4, so yeah, these two are the best so far and we are in the 4th month of the year. Doesn't bode well.

How many flops have you seen this year?

January to February are mainly months Hollywood big studios traditionally keep for movies they want dead and have no confidence in. Those months are mostly filled with shitty films pushed out.

We've seen what March has delivered in two top tier films. Remember March is actually the month when Hollywood starts releasing their top content.

June and July this year has killer blockbuster movies incoming.

It's too early to judge IMO especially when we take into account that March is usually the month Hollywood starts releasing their serious content.
January and February are well known to drop shitty movies or films they ain't confident in.

You're forgetting Ben Affleck's AIR just released and the trades is that it's close to masterpiece quality.

Anyways what's the news on LOKI?
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by abduleez1(m): 8:09pm On Apr 09, 2023
No way we ain't getting Studios scrambling for Zelda rights now and other video game rights.

It's time for Sony, Nintendo, Konami, Square Enix, SEGA etc to eat big.

It's an industry other studios can easily take advantage of since comic books top characters and storylines are just monopolized by two mega studios. Gaming is more flexible. 😜
The following weeks and months will be very interesting.

1. The original mario movie was in 1993. How popular was Mario then? Super Nintendo was released 92/93 for most parts of the world. Even i as a kid preferred Sonic the hedgehog at the time.
how popular was mario then? do you even game? mario has been iconic right from his days as jumpman in the 80s. how many mario games have you actually played? the irony or should i say the absurdity of what you are saying is that super mario world, the nest selling game of the snes was released in the us in 92.


2. The original Mario was a live-action movie. It was not animated and to some extent, it was poorly adapted. The current mario movie is animated. The focus group is children and children would prefer an animated movie.

once again, you have completely missed it. the focus group for mario games is everyone and anyone who grew up on mario games. do you have any idea how many people have nostalgic memories of different mario games? do ypu realise that a large number of legacy mario games are critically acclaimed and played to this day? even more so wit skilled hackers reverse engineering classic so they can be played in 4k? i have been releiving my childhood with a remade mario64, and several thousands of people are too. you think it is only children of today who are into the cross cultural phenomenom that is the italian plumber - or multiple generations who played different iterations of mario in their own childhoods?

Doom was in limbo (partially dead) as at the time the movie was released. There was no Doom game from 1998 till 2005 when the movie came out. The movie was poorly adapted.

doom was in limbo? you are a real john snow. you dont game, and it is clear from this post. people play the original doom to this day. until they were bought by betheseda, id software had a policy or releasing the source code for every version of doom once a new version was released. because of this, the original doom i and 2 are still being modded and remixed and reversioned. do you know what brutaldoom is? it is a doom mod that took the entire community by storm, and can be said to have been a direct inspiration for doom 2016.

doom is so popular that it has currently been upgraded to run on modern hardware. the failure of the movie in hindsight and with the knowledge we have to day comes to decisions made by the rock and a complete bypassing of the source material.


4. Sonic did not bomb. Videogame IPs are risky on a normal day because it is hard to adapt without altering important parts of the videogame lore. Videogame IPs rarely translate well to live-action movies. For a videogame IP to blow, it must have a huge fan base and it must stay true to form (or at least, have a serious plot).

we are talking about video game adaptations from the 90s and early 200os. since your argument is that they are a new phenomenon.

Uhm, the exception definitely ain't the norm. 🙄🙃
How many big studio films do you see in February.

At best, it's the month for comedies or rom-coms or midbudget films taking advantage of no significant new releases in January. When you see something significant for Feb it's almost halfway into the month. So?

Well the year hasn't gone half and there are some very good movies that'd grace our screens this year I think.

Asides the movies you listed, there's also John wick 4, Tetris was also good, atlest it's the best biopics so far this year, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Evil Dead Rise( Seeing the success of the Last of Us by HBO, this one should also do very well), Guy Ritchie's The Covenant, and a whole lot more.

With the many other release slated for this year, i strongly believe this year would go okay, if not great.

Watched Gangs of Lagos.
After all the hype it's precisely what I expected. Just a little above average.
I dunno, it feels they definitely could have done better plus some of the cast no be am.
The fights scenes seems to be a hit and miss. Be like I was watching some low budget wanna be India action movie.

Zlantan Ibile, Chioma, Iyabo Ojo, and a few others were absolute naturals.
