only feminist reviews seem to be praising it tho...

All the reviews I see say the same thing...they went in expecting a simple fun movie and it started so...
Until the woke stuff hit


Them pack fat Barbie, trans Barbie all inside the movie...
But they hid it all from the trailers...
"Only Feminist" review" indeed...you are just running with this lie to suite your narrative and obvious bias for the movie..

Btw, didn't you say you aren't concerned about critics reviews, so why are you taking thier sides so boldly on a movie you haven't even seen?

I don't like what I'm hearing about Barbie movie at all

Everyone says it's started well then dissolved into wokeness... something well hidden from the trailer

Apparently it starts out in Barbieland where women rule and men are subservient.
Then Ken travels to the real world and the real world is portrayed with major patriarchy issues. Men walking on the street slapping women's bûtts and all.

Ken brings this patriarchy to Barbieland and revolt and take over Barbieland with other men. The women have to fight back and regain control.

Now here is where it gets worse...

Barbie apparently refuses equal rights with men in Barbieland...
She says that the men in Barbieland will only be given equal rights when the women in the real world have equal rights


Omo... shocked
How did they hide these all from the trailers?
They said the word "Patriarchy" is mentioned so many times in the movie...wtf
Have you seen any "Barbie" media at all? lol


"Everyone says" is so vague and opaque when it comes to things like this, because i have seen tons of reviews and critics praising the movie as well.

Vesti Wallet. Might be the most useless i have used out of the bunch. Out of 100, works out of 1 and downtime 99 times. Their customer service is zero and once you are able to fund your virtual USD card you cannot move it back to your naira wallet.
lool update on this, so i was finally able to reach out to thier support through live chat on the app and this babe said their virtual card services are down and they don't know when it will be back up, but they have an alternative option and i should drop a number she can reach me on, i obliged and within 5 minutes this babe called and was on about them having a card i can use and it's thier fintech company dollar card they hold in the US, and i was like how will i even see and fund this card, and she said the minimum top up is $10 and i "can't see my balance", if i want to fund the card, i will chat them through the app and they will give me the payment details, and i am like this doesn't sound "fraudulent and cumbersome" at all 😩😩. I just ended with i will get back to you.

Well i don't even blame these Fintechs, the last administration really did throw traditional fx transactions out of whack, and the fintechs, with most likely operating out of a room with a support staff of 3 😩 have to source fx across borders with strict conditions that are ever changing, hence the constant downtimes. The policy of this new administration has made things a bit steep even, No set laws, so both traditional banks and fintechs are running amok with each with its own set of rules, making the choice of using them like the "devil and the deep blue sea", which ever one you choose, you will get burnt and AE is not even ready to provide another payment option for Nigerians because it seem the problem is peculiar to us, I chatted with a seller about the restrictions on our dollar card for FX transactions and the fellow couldn't understand it, like they have this perception that Nigeria is a big African country in population and economic growth that shouldn't be facing such problems.... really really tough months ahead 😔

Nigerian banks too dey move silly at times 🤦🏿‍♂️. I think they sent out that email to prove a point or being "first" to reactivate Naira cards for FX transactions. Thier head of card solutions department fit never even hear or see that email wey dem rush send yesterday. The memo was not even on thier SM pages as at yesterday and it seems to me like something they are still working on.

Extraction 2, 5/10,

The high standard set by the First Project gave this movie a hill to climb.
Some of the characters were not well developed and unnecessary, the writing was a bit disjointed, its hard to understand how the same team of writers of the first one could bring so much baggage into this one. I finished the movie with even more questions.
But all in all the Premise was enjoyable, the action is what held it up.
The standard of the first one wasn't that high tbh, and this easily beats it, with more action sequence and less drama.

And you can't actually be looking for quality writing in this, the main emphasis and were the budget went to was the action and it delivered excellently, far better than the many trash out this year with supposed better writing.

lol I'm trying to move my funds from this wallet cuz I cant basically fund my dollar card for days now and look at the nonsense they are telling me. The "Your funds are safe" part is so corny grin. Me thinking these Fintechs can actually replace and do a better job than our traditional banks is the is total foolery. They are all the same, it's either one absurd abnormality or hidden charges. They solve one problem and create 10 more. I can't wait for our traditional bank cards to work on International platform like before, so i can gladly uninstall all these apps.

I'm now using Swyft.

Terms:
- initial card creation fee = $2
- you will need to fund your wallet with naira then convert to your dollar wallet a minimum of $12. - for them to take their charge.
- virtual card top up is $10 - minimum at anytime.
Rate presently = N829.67/$1
- No other charges and fees.
- They have app for phone and Web. Ensure you download the mobile one for more features.
God bless you
Naaa. Some of these fintechs might not see Aljannah.

So i will use almost 10k just to create the card first, then anytime i want to top up, the minimum will be 8k plus?? It's like they forget Nigeria is the Poverty capital of the world.

People are mocking Flash and WB like Disney ain't got 3 flops this year with Quantumania, Little Mermaid and Indiana Jones

But R rated Deadpool 3 with over flogged multiverse concept will hit a billion

Epic clowning

I stand by my words
Rest. Black Adam earnings spanned into this year and it was a bomba and Shazam 2 Fury of the God's was which year again? That one was even tracking to be the worst CBM commercially in history till "The Flash" came and said "Hold my Beer".

Either WB or Disney, The 2 sides have been holding L's lately like 2 hideous twins. no winners here.

they wanted a younger superman

Someone they can rebuild DCUE centered on
Not saying they should have casted him seeing the plot of Legacy focuses on the Younger version of Superman, I'm implying that not seeing him playing the role would be a little hard to take because he totally killed it.


And how many rebuilds have they had now?

David Corenswet & Rachel Brosnahan are Superman & Lois Lane in James Gunn’s ‘SUPERMAN: LEGACY’.

Thoughts?
If Henry Cavill isn't Superman then what's the point? With Failings of "The Flash" and these ridiculous castings, no way DC ain't filing for bankruptcy very soon...smh The initial selection and the final selections are a huge joke. Imagine a jester like Nicolas Hoult auditioning for the Batman and Superman roles. i thought James Gunn knew ball and wanted to succeed, he's just towing the same part that has made DCEU the butt of the joke in the CBM fandom recently. Arrant nonsense.

I don't follow Cinemascore but I haven't seen any movie rated below a C by them...

And alphabetical metrics are not constant lol

Some metrics see "S" as the highest grade...some see "A"
Some see "A+"

Same as lowest...some metrics don't use up to "F"...some use "C" as lowest...some use "grin

Nigerian University no be movie...some unis don't even use A+...it's A...even B+ and B- don't exist in some
You haven't seen doesn't mean it doesn't exists. They have rated F for some terrible movies and F is the lowest rating in the alphabet rating if common sense is anything to go by.

I doubt if any metric use "S" as a grade system, it is probably means the movie contains high sexual content, don't confuse it for a metric gauge and stick to what you know and you are comfortable with.

TV/MoviesRe: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Broskyjames: 12:04pm On Jun 17, 2023
Baddestguyp:
if A+ is the highest, then what is the lowest?

C- ?
D?
F?

Or maybe even "S" could be the highest
I'm assuming you went to school, so you want to tell me you don't know were the Alphabetic metrics ends or you just want to clown yourself?

Baddestguyp:
well I don't use Cinemascore anyway...
I just see their scores and don't click...

I hate alphabetical scores
So i think it boils down to preference and the matter here is that you prefer the fraction ratings. Using Alphabet or fractions or Percentage is basically the same. I have even seen stars as ratings, If you see any of these rating style, it shouldn't be that hard to figure out the metric guage the person is tending towards. It's a none issue in my opinion.
TV/MoviesRe: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Broskyjames: 10:36am On Jun 17, 2023
Baddestguyp:
I think his point was that this alphabetical rating is a very sîlly and vague rating...

Whenever I see it myself, I personally ignore it...
It's too vague, you can't really tell from it...
Same as most people... because the alphabets can represent different scores...

I think Cinemascore do it so people focus more on their reviews than the score itself...


Same as the review I see on this thread. Whenever I see alphabetical scores, I personally ignore it and focus on the review itself...the score is pointless

so yes...using alphabets to score movies is a sîlly rating system except your intention is to get people to focus on the review and not the score


If you simply dropped an alphabet without a review to accompany it, it would be clownery...but with a review, it makes more sense
Cinemascore doesn't do reviews, it's just metric site to measure how good or bad a movie is from an audience point of view. Doesn't this invalidate all you just said?
