Shazam: Fury of The gods

I don't know why it has such bad ratings. I don't know what people were expecting from this kind of movie; philosophical insights? The film doesn't take itself seriously. Neither should you.

Wo, I enjoyed it and was very well entertained.

It's like going to a party to be served well cooked okra soup. It's delicious but people expect jollof rice.

I am just glad no one can point fingers at De Rock anymore. Black Adam would have been a colossal failure without Dwayne Johnson.

i had a blast watching the movie. all the lousy reviews already lowered my expectations, but for what really? the movie has the same spirit as its prequel

and we got to watch how chatgpt would perform if it was magic rather than science

Mamma Mia! Mario Movie is a HIT. Universal and Nintendo got this one spot on and I fully expect sales of Nintendo and Mario brothers to soar.
It's a tried and tested script (good guys vs bad guys) but presently in an easy to watch not too long movie with all the jingles, sound effects, sound tracks complete and well timed. It's like you are playing a game AND watching a movie at the same time.

Good job on this one.

Gmajor:

Too soon.
I just tire for WB.
money that should have been allocated towards more original ideas is being wasted on a story that ended not so long ago.
The movies still hold up well so why bother with a remake?

Seems HBOMax relaunch into "Max" was somewhat a success. It generated massive backlash from audiences due to the name change.
But as the saying goes "there is no such thing as bad publicity".

At the bolded, i paid no heed to the reviews also, i enjoy every bit of the movie. I just couldn't place my hands on what people were actually expecting from the movie, it's a superhero comedy movie for fvck sake, it's meant to make you laugh and not to make you think.

"Success" you say? Thier stocks tanked minutes after the announcement and it hasn't recovered. It's the WB and HBO brand that has been even keeping "HBOmax" alive. They have an Ad-free and Ultimate Ad-free plan, i have never seen these kind of capitalist tiering before, it's ridiculous. The only good thing is that they have some strong originals on the horizon, if for anything, that "Penguin" series dey enter my eye G...ngl but this alliance with Discovery+ might tank under a year.

Uhm, that's just a -6% drop. Which to me is negligible. They can lose that amount anyday regardless of reception of its services.

The way you say "alive", it's like HBOMax has been struggling. True the HBO and WB brand has been pivotal to it's growth— that's why they're under the same umbrella.

Uhm, that tiering is basic premium streaming industry standard. Netflix has similar tiering too with differentiating factors like 4K streaming, HDR 10+, added screens/devices, Dolby Atmos etc.

The removal of the HBO name was mainly done cos of some data WB acquired. Apparently some families chose not to pick HBOMax as a streamer of choice because of the HBO branding and them thinking it's mostly for mature/_adult audiences. Some were unaware of its family oriented content and cartoons geared towards kids or thought it was mainly for mature audiences with kids/family content as secondary.
Although insiders also allege that the need of not saturating the HBO name with some HBOMax Originals. If I remember correctly, Velma wasn't an "HBO Original" but from "HBOMax". And these two departments have slightly different ways of going about their content despite being similar.
There comes the MAX rename. Still similar from what ppl are already familiar with and is more accomodation to audiences not already part of the HBO climate. Essentially they're pursuing Disney+ and Netflix family audience.

What I feel they should do now is market the hell outta the new streamer clearly putting it's family content in the forefront as well as pushing HBO premium content as well.
The Discovery content inclusion is mainly to reduce churn rate. They noticed HBO top original shows bring massive viewership but those viewers run away as soon as it finishes. So in essence, most times the streamer is adding subs it's mostly recovering back lost audience.

Let's wait and see 6 months after launch, then we'll gauge it's performance.

Oyaskii and Abdulzeez1, leave HBO argument and recommend movies jor

GloriousGbola:


Leave them jare. You sha know if they japa to UK today they will not be crying of loneliness. Their minds are already fully engaged

SOZINN:




A movie that exists solely to make you laugh. If the jokes don't land what are you left with? 😒 - Cringe -
There's your answer, that's why it had so many bad reviews.

Baddestguyp:
Because it is Nollywood abi...

But it's still far better than so many mid Hollywood movies this year and last year like Shazam 2, Black Panther 2, Thor love and Thunder, Black Adam, and probably Ant-Man 2 sef (I haven't seen Antman 2)

But you will watch these trash, but won't watch Nollywood to support your industry
