To win Oscar is no easy thing...it really has to take a challenging role not your usual action movie and tom cruise doesn't really act those sort of films,the film he starred which had Oscar written over it was a few good men but jack Nicholson is a beast

True. While I'm a fan of Tom, I've not seen any portrayal by him deserving of an Oscar. People that win Oscars usually put up a perfect portrayal of a character and action genre are not really considered in Oscars, and that's where Tom usually falls in.

Five Feet Apart 7/10.


When I first saw the movie, the rating and synopsis wasn't that encouraging, plus I'm not much of a romance genre fan, so I decided to not download it. But a friend encouraged me to watch it and I finally did this morning.

The movie wasn't bad at all. It had shades of A Fault In Our Stars written all over it and therefore couldn't pull my emotional strings till the ending scenes which got me very emotional. I love the spotlight it brought on the disease. Even though the movie didn't thoroughly do justice on Cystic Fibrosis, it gave an inquisitive mind enough knowledge to read about it and learn about the real life couple, Katie Donovan and Dalton Prager behind the story in the film.

A lot of people are going through some pains for real. Each day one wakes up hale and hearty, he'd be grateful for life and sound health. Overall, good movie. I recommend it for romance genre lovers.

krattoss:
I had to dig to find this ur comment after I must have watched this movie..and all I have to say to u is..

Go choke on ur uncle's dick


For recommending this piece of crap for me

This is why tits very very important to watch movie via ratings, though ratings are not 100% correct all the time. Next time, Google the movie before you watch. That movie is crap even without me watching it.

mekaprime:
Lol...the bolded has Nollywood written all over it. It even stopped at 4, nowadays, its usually a franchise, part/season 1 to part/season 8.

Na Nollywood movie. The name alone is enough to describe how dumb the producers, director, script writer, and even its viewers are.

Funjosh:
Don't even know the movie to watch that will cheer up my spirit .

Watch this epic award-winning blockbuster called Blackberry Babes part 1-4. Not a single dulling moment.

Damfostopper:
lol..... fzmovie no get 720p..... highest there na 480p

Dem no even get 480p.

R2bees:
Lmao.... Spoiler of the year. Thank f*** i stopped watching after Season one, just thank your Lord it's not my type of series, if not i would find you wherever you are and i....... make i just calm down shaa.

You just described how I felt too.

Dygeasy:
I'm glad that you eventually subtly ditched your opinion of why GOT fans clamored for a better season. Low-key, you do too but you are too stubborn to agree with the majority but las las, we all want the same thing.

I saw reasons why people were angry, and I quiet agree, but I didn't agree fully with everything. For example, I'm not disappointed at how Dany ended up, but rather at how fast she turned to a full-blown Cersei. The signs have always been there but the directors foolishly changed her very quickly within 2 episodes alone. Common sense dictates they'd have slowly unraveled her, and this would've been possible if there were longer episodes to systematically and slowly turn Dany to the heartless and wicked queen she turned out to be. DnD messed the season up by forcing everything into 6 episodes.

IKON360:
Capt Marvel did quite well in Endgame but her character is drab. The movies was just there nothing fantastic, even the fight scenes were not memorable. I just imagine what the Russo Brothers would have done if given that script...

The reason Captain Marvel did well in Endgame was because the focus wasn't on her, and she starred in a better film with a wonderful script.

The people that scripted and directed Captain Marvel deserved to be jailed for film crimes. I'm so grateful I didn't see it at the cinema. Bullet dodged!!

KoiceReloaded:
Don't think so, man. The season had a lot of potential, but DnD rushed the whole thing, and ended up half-assing it in the end. Even the actors weren't happy.


It's natural for a fan of a beloved tv show to be disappointed by a lackluster finale, esp when they had had to wait two whole years for it. You can't begrudge a disgruntled fan for wanting a do-over.



Hmmm, I'm triggered but I'm gonna be chill, because I respect your opinions.

Speaking for myself, I realistically wasn't expecting Jon to kill the NK, nor ascend to the Iron Throne. Thanks to watching a lot of mysteries, I've become well acquainted with the notion of red herrings in storytelling. I suspected Jon would be a red herring when he came back from the dead in season 7. I knew his larger than life presence in the primary plot line would sway the audience in his favor, thereby, giving the plot enough breathing room to manoeuvre, and thus, create an "unexpected" plot twist. I was fully expectant that he will be usurped by someone close to him, someone like Dany perhaps?

You know what I didn't expect? I didn't expect him to kill Dany, and I sure as hell didn't expect him to be sentenced to the Night's watch. I mean, after having brought people together, and motivated them to fight for their lives, he got sent back to Night Watch just like that to forever be Jon_fucking Snow? WTF?! And you called that a befitting ending?? Killing him off in an epic battle would have been a more worthy sendoff IMO. Such a lame-ass writing.

Still boils down to happy or better ending many people expected, but I get your point. The ending for Jon was disappointing, especially having toiled all through the seasons, waking up from the dead, fighting so many battles, taking Winterfell from Ramsay and uniting all other kingdoms, only to end in an unceremonious position at Night's Watch. He deserved better, way better than the insignificant ending they gave him, but going the poor judgment of DnD, that was the only possible outcome for Jon Snow since the Unsullied would never be at peace with the other kingdoms if Bran had pardoned Snow fully with all the benefits that comes with it.

Another thing worth noting is Dany doesn't deserve what the writers did to her. They turned her into her father out of the blue, and then killed her off like a dog. After all the_bullshit about being a fair queen and whatnot, they completely chucked her character development out the window, and turned her into a genocidal maniac. How does that make sense? As lame-ass writing as it gets, man.

I agree with you on this because I was peeved that due to the short episodes, there's NO character development at all. Things were just unraveling fast. Even though Dany's obsession with the throne and her past antecedents of crushing her enemies were the seeds that laid the foundation DnD built her sudden change evil change on, the short time it took her to turn full-blown Cersi-like evil was too short. If DnD had thought about this ending for Dany, then common sense dictates that they'd have started earlier in the past seasons to unravel the evil queen they suddenly turned Dany to within two episodes.

They certainly got it wrong on that one and made people that loved Dany hate her all of a sudden. Doesn't make sense. They're trying to bring a twist into the whole story and ended up ruining it.

Also, Cercei didn't deserve to die so quickly, esp when you consider the fact that she's responsible for more than 50% of deaths in the show. I expected her to be defiant in a slow painful death, cuz she had always struck me as that kind of woman, not cowering in fear in a quick death.

If you had had to wait for TWO YEARS for an epic, but bittersweet ending as was PROMISED, but instead, got a mediocre ending that wasn't nearly a shade of sweet as it was bitter, what would be your reaction? Yeah, I know, you'd be raving about it and dissing unsatisfied fans. I understand HBO rushed the whole thing due to budgetary reasons, but at least, they should have put more effort in the season finale. The dire ending left a sour taste in my mouth.

Many people wanted Cersei tortured and given the most haunting of deaths for her tyrannical ways, me inclusive, but to be fair to DnD even though their rushed story denied us that dream, not all tyrants are humiliated like we expect. Take for a example, someone like Hitler. Even some African dictators have gotten away after committing crimes by going into exile and living till the day of their death. So, while Cersei's death was too easy and stupid, it's not far-fetched either. My major anger in Cersei's death was that she's made to be look like an angel in order to make Dany the evil queen who deserves to die as well. This why the cause of all the things wrong with GoT final season is the short episodes and HBO and DnD deserve the total blame.

Two years is more than enough to come up with a better script and longer episodes for proper character development, than the short rushed story they gave us. In all, you some valid points that have made realize things should've ended in a much better way than how season 8 ended. At the end, I think DnD ruined what would've been a perfect ending to a magnificent story.

Captain Marvel 6/10

The worst film since MCU began their movie domination journey, and probably the only dent in MCU's almost excellent record in churning out dope movies. The movie was a colossal disappointment and I'm still finding hard to believe it was from MCU.

This is what happens when you try to force a character into the Avengers Endgame, that should never have been part of the Endgame. Failure to properly and slowly introduce Captain Marvel on time, without rushing it, was the reason the movie sucked.

Concluded the final season of GoT and have been wondering why some people were wailing and gnashing their teeth over the season, especially the season finale. Apart from the season being too short, the season ended well. Which led me to conclude that those asking for the redoing of the final season:

1. Were finding it hard to move on after being addicted to the series for so long.

2. Wanted the series to continue after this season.

3. Wanted the episodes to be a bit longer than just 6 episodes (this is the category I fall in).

4. Were Love struck fans who wanted Nollywood-esque ending where Jon gets to kill the Night King, marry Dany and they give birth to kids and live happily ever after. They're probably writhing in pains seeing Bran as the Lord of The Six Kingdoms. Majority of the disgruntled fans are found here. Bunch of entitled teenagers that are yet to accept the fact that the ending of movie/series mustn't be like a fairytale. We don't always get what we want at the end of movies/series, it's entirely up to the directors to decide which way a series/movie could end.


Apart from the season being too short, the season ended perfectly, including the painful deaths/losses.

Next on my must-watch list will be Breaking Bad, Wire and The Sopranos, since some people rated them above GoT. I want to see why they're rated this highly.

Nova15:
I'm guessing you're a fan of the movie "Hobbit"

Huge fan.

Terminator: Rise of the Machines


7.5 / 10


Sweet movie... Female terminator was not too bad, liked the fight between her and Schwarzenegger, weird Smackdown...


Sweet Plot, Sweet ending.... Particularly enjoyed how it ended...


Up next.... Genisys ✔️

If you're following it in chronological order, then watch Salvation before Genisys.

Nairatalks:
Koicereloaded is right. This thread is now boring.

I need to move on.

So this is goodbye.

No more jeromeblack and other monikers.

To alexistaiwo, you are a cool guy. But stop letting people like me bully you. There is nothing special about people that are based abroad. If I am not mistaken, Wale soyinka made his greatest hits in Nigeria and not America.

Koicereloaded, it's been nice picking your mind and debating you.

Mjbolt. You should change your name to Mr Marvel. You kept this place lively with your anti DC shenanigans. Keep having fun.

Beorn. Keep being the conscience of this thread. Calm an rational.


Ishilove/octopusssy. Stop forming and no one will call you a hypocrite. Just be yourself. You are still a learner when it comes to movies. Listen to the veterans here.



Bye, everyone. My last comment here.

What brand of weed got you on this chokehold?

Ishilove:
Believe all that whitewashed crap at your own peril. I was actually chuckling at so much bullshit contained in one post.

Nuf said

I didn't believe all he wrote, and I also apportioned some blames to him because I found it extremely hard to believe he's 100% innocent, which he didn't deny as well. He might have garnished some truths in his posts, but I won't be surprised if Maclatunji_ actually banned him for spelling Allah with a small letter A. The kind of complaints I read about him shows he's a kind of mod that can go that extreme.

Clubmaster:
Bro, I am not pissed ooo, just irritated at the blatant show of hypocrisy.
Like how can so much hypocrisy be ingrained in the DNA of a single human being?




If I dey truly vex, it cost me nothing to call in the calvary.

If my niggas from the betting thread land here with their horde of alt monikers.


2secs everywhere go burst

But me zee a peace loving righteous man 'rom Jamaica.

Fiyah bun any bull bucka battybwoy quashie from babylonia and his dawta who cum here to oppress the righteous men from zion

That the spirit, bro. Jah, rastafried rice and beans. Badman fear no babylonians. Battybwoys finna wreck you, but badman fih nuh stay down. They dun know. Pass the spliff, mahn, let's smoke up this caban.

Nairatalks:
I didn't say that you should be uncivilized. I would never want you to change your calm behaviour like that. After all, you're the guy to play good cop against my bad cop on this thread.

My point is that you should have ignored her comments after some time. Especially after she wasn't relenting from her ignorance.

Gotcha. BTW, how many monikers you get? Were you expecting to be banned and decided to create them in anticipation?

Nairatalks:
I too was like that at first but I like the chemistry between the rock and Jason statham. I also like that Idris Elba is in that movie.

Idris Elba was the only breathe of fresh air from the trailer. I have time before the movie drops to see if I'd get into the Hobbs and Shaw fever or if I'd wait for previews first before deciding if I'll go to the cinema to see it, or just wait for its clear version to download.

Wow. I felt really bad reading this news. RIP Hungerbad. I may not have agreed with most of your political views, but I know deep down you're a good human.

My condolences to his family and loved one.

Cc dannykoice, mjbolt and clubmaster


I think that spiderman home away from home or Fast and furious: hobbs and shaw will be the biggest movies after avengers this year.

I guess I'm the only one not hyped or anticipating the Hobbs and Shaw movie. Not even the trailer could move me. I just find it very weird and uninteresting without the whole crew. I'm definitely not looking forward to it.

DannyKoice:
The Guy that directed Deadpool, and one of the best episodes in the new Netflix original, Love, Death and Robots.

Noted. Let's wait for November to see what's he's been cooking for us.

Nairatalks:
I watched the trailer again. When Sarah Connor was surprised at the female terminator, the female terminator said that she is human.

Maybe she is like robocop. A human in a robot body or the terminator protagonist in salvation who was a human changed to a robot.

You know what, I just realised that the babes responses became more and more foolish as they progressed. I would advise Beorn to learn to stop having calm conversations with ignorant folks after a certain amount of time because you will just go deeper and deeper into abyss.

Sarah Connor has been a major co-protagonist from the first terminator movie, and someone here is claiming that they are trying to feminise the terminator franchise. How silly.

I can be uncivil and brash depending if someone attacked me or if the situation called for it, but she didn't display an unruly behavior so I see no reason why I'd not show decorum in our discussion. I think she's oblivious about some happenings in the Terminator franchise going by her posts, plus she's only seen just two Terminator movies from the franchise.

DannyKoice:
Sarah Connor in the new Terminator movie isn't a terminator, she's human. And even if she's a terminator, there's nothing wrong with it. Help me to remind the woman-hater you're discussion with that she's a female too, at least, allegedly.

I know Sarah Connor isn't a Terminator but a human and that there's not wrong with a female Terminator at all, I was only talking about the fact that BBC were suggesting that that'd be a female Terminator (likely a protagonist) in the upcoming movie).

https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-45043129

I don't know if she's a woman hater but I think she gave a good reason (at least for herself) for kicking against a female Terminator protagonist even though there's absolutely nothing wrong even if both the protagonist and antagonist are both female Terminators.


P.S: I still wonder what went wrong between you and Ishi offline. When I came on here newly, you two were really tight and friendly, she even suggested that you're her *****. I belive in what happened offline should remain offline, so it's better to let the sleeping dog lie. But I think you'd try to tolerate her even if you'll not been cool with her. At least for peace sake.

Octopusssy:
I wasn't referring to the series but the movies.

I wouldn't call what is going on here a 'debate'. I was rather puzzled at the appearance of a female Terminator protagonist in the upcoming movie, voiced my puzzlement and voila, some folks here, still smarting from their bans jumped in to display their mannerlessness and lack of home training (behaviour that earned them the bans in the first place).

On a personal note I think some characters should just remain male. When I think of the Terminator, i think of Arnold. I think of his stony countenance and deep voice. I just can't wrap my head around a female Terminator protagonist, just as I can't reconcile the image of a female 007 agent with the larger than life persona built over the span of almost 60 years (thankfully audiences shot down that stupid idea in the polls)

I understand you much better now.

Well, If I'm to guess, I'll say it's the storyline of the upcoming movie and where the plot is headed that demanded the need for a female protagonist Terminator. Maybe director, Miller is trying to bring in a different angle, you know, spice things up a little bit and bring another perspective. A kind of a fresh idea.

I think they'd be more Terminators this time around, not just the female protagonist Terminator. I'm against the sudden quest to turn many popular male roles to female roles. But I feel with the first female antagonist Terminator not doing badly at all, a protagonist wouldn't be a horrible idea as long as the script is good.

Octopusssy:
What movie in the franchise had a female Terminator as the protagonist? I know there was a female villain at some point (I saw the trailer back then), but I'm not aware of a protagonist.

Yes, Summer Glau played a female Terminator protagonist in the Terminator series. But was this debate ever about female Terminator protagonist? Or the feminisation of the recent movies?

Octopusssy:
I edited my post you quoted.

Just saw it now.

Well, the rise of feminism might have played a part in the idea behind the future changing of Thor to a female, but I think that a female Terminator has been existing before the surge of feminism recently and therefore shouldn't been seen as a product of the modern feminism flu affecting a lot of people in Hollywood.
