Shogun to me is a solid 7/10

I loved the series, all 9 episodes were at least 8/10 for me but the episode finally disappointed me.
If they knew they didn't have the budget for a series filled with legendary battles, they could have presented the series to HBO or Netflix.

Imagine it was HBO that championed the series, by now we all would be talking about how it's up there with game of thrones, prison break and all that.
The way we waited for 9 episodes, Atleast a legendary fight to the death battle would have been better.

This series was clearly a battle series like the last kingdom or vikings or game of thrones.
Yes!!! we enjoyed the politics, the conversations, the scheming and all that but the fact that we didn't even see a single battle makes me very disappointed.
HBO or Netflix wound have turned this series into gold.
But it is what it is.
Its a nice series but they could have done better, even if they burrowed money to champion the series, they would have made generational profits from it.

No it wasn't, that was what exactly happened in the book - no war, no battles. And I think that's the issue I also have with the series - not going off the source material to make an epic battle scene, it is a great series but it didn't further enhance the source material IMO. It is the same problem Denis Villeneuve faces when adapting Dune Messiah but I know he wont disappoint

geezyk:
Yabushige summarizes what we all as humans are. Self preservation. I won't blame him for whatever he's done, and at the end of the day, no one wants to die a pointless death.

He is me, a true depiction of a modern man and his thoughts but at that time, it was considered criminal not to obey your leige lord, so it seemed different and unique what Yabushige did

I have been shitting on Shogun for a while here but I think I understand it now. Of course, comparing it to Game of Thrones should be punishable by community flogging but it wasn't meant to be compared to an epic like GOT. Shogun itself is its own show and immersive world. Its story should be preserved in the history books of Hollywood. Great writing, great story telling, you can never know what will happen next and a great adaptation of the book and a genuine art form of Japanese culture

Monkey man 7/10

I dont even know if I should call this an Indian movie, it's actually very good

It is not a Bollywood movie, it even has more Indonesian actors starring in it

JayVicky:

While I agree that most of Snyder's movies suck, including the both Rebel Moons, I have to disagree with you on Watchmen. Watchmen is actually a really good movie. And it wasn't written by Snyder, it's based on a comic book.

The story is very realistic with non-realistic concepts and that's difficult to do that when a movie is this fictional. The story is developed well, but the characters aren't. Snyder re-wrote the script in David Hayder because it wasn't 'true' to the source material. If you're writing a movie, you have to be creative with it and pleasurable for people to watch in cinemas, Zack didn't do that, the movie was boring asf, only some scenes were ok, he just vomited what the comics did without adding nuance to the already made story. Look at the Boys - if they had followed it to the T, it wouldn't be as good as it is.

Movies I watched this week:
Pan's Labyrinth: 8/10 - one of the most beautiful movies I have ever watched; a well written masterpiece and the best Spanish movie I have ever watched. Immaculate- 6/10: Not bad.
Rebel Moon: Scargiver: 2/10 - I saw the movie.
Friends with benefits: 8/10 - Mila Kunis is so drop dead gorgeous amd the chemistry with Timberlake was so impressive i laughed my ass off everytime

Bongadu:
Why is nearly every movie released in the past five or so years so fucking dogshit?
It feels like every single one is a tax payoff

Tbh you’re so right, 99% of movies coming out since the pandemic are so bad that's why movies like Dune and Oppenheimer was an event

joseph1832:
No news about Minus One?

So Marvel Studios haven't made any money this year at all?

It's coming to Amazon Prime on May but only in Japan (which does not change anything)

Ishilove:

Stephen King hated the movie

I heard😂, Stephen King is a Twitter clown so I don't care about his opinion on anything

Arsenal dey use Chelsea train for next match

Happy birthday to Jack Nicholson....

THE SHINING every damn time I think of him.

I need to rewatch the Shining. I taught is what not a good movie but maybe if I watch it on now it'll grow on me

THE SHINING every damn time I think of him.

here's Johnny!!!!

The folk who said Snyder's writing in movies are good is dumb, none of the film's written by Snyder has ever been good. Maybe the action is usually great but in Rebel Moon - both the writing and action are very bad, to many slow mo shots and crappy dialogue sequences. No rewatchability value. I decided to watch Watchmen recently. The movie is so baddddd!!!!! And I watched the 4 hours cut!!!! Everything is just all over the place. I don't still know what Animation is doing there!!!

OhBritannia:
Lol well that's you so it's understandable but these are the series i have watched twice from starting to ending, all seasons.
The originals.
Legend of the seeker.
Secret circle.
Witches of the east end.
Spartacus.
Merlin.

I think series over the years have changed drastically and doesn't give enough time for the audience to fall completely in love with the casts and that has made people to watch a series just once and forget about the series then move to another.

Back in the days, a single character or few characters in a series can make you go back to re-watch the entire series again, just because you fell in love with a character.
For example, i have re watched the originals more than 5 times simply because Klaus Michealson became the actor i like the most, i just fell for his acting in the originals and with some outstanding characters like Elijah, Rebekah and the rest.

I keep going back to watch legend of the seeker because of the mother Confessor. I can tell you for a fact that i fell in love with that woman, till today my affection for her never wavers, i am crazy about her.
My point is that series nowadays are being rushed and they give no time for character development and for the audience to fall in love with the casts.

If you ask anybody in this group, which of the series they can watch again, they will all mention old series and this is why you see that many people, especially teenagers are crazy about Korea actresses and actors, it's because they give room for character development.

You're so effing right!! There're so many series you could watch over and over again and it gets better every time.
Korean series are so rewatchable too. Series like boys before flowers, City Hunter and heirs are the standard for rewatchability
Series I've rewatched over and over again is definitely Game of Thrones, I've rewatched this like a thousand times and plan to rewatch when house of the Dragon comes out.
Another of mine is
Bridgerton (no Diddy)
Better Call Saul
The Boys
24

Shogun is the kind of series you think is going somewhere but never does
A perfect 7/10 series great characters, decent writing but no epic finale for you

FG: 6000 mega watts in end of year
Me: Look between H and K on your keyboard

NeoWanZaeed:


She lives for revenge bro. Regardless of whatever she's said. Everyone is out to get the imperium

You absolutely don't understand the characters nor their writing..in this rebel moon..

Well, let's agree to disagree.

I don't ag with your point and so do you mine

The movie is top notch. It's Snyder you don't like not the movie.

It's only Sucker Punch I'll say the writing was poor but the actions lived up to cover for it

None of Zack Snyder's writing has ever been good and action can never cover up bad writing

NeoWanZaeed:
Just finished seeing the Scargiver (Rebel Moon)

10/10


The tragedy was top notch. Can't believe I was moved to tears when Nemesis died and the boy was with her. It's so chilly chilling scene.

Also when Gunner died.. that's expected. Athelisas must pay for her sins one way or the other

Its nice when Jimmy showed up too to join the fight..

Men.. the movie is lit.


Part 3.. Finding Princess Issa.. will be the best of all the rebel moon



Zack Snyder.. you are the man!

I used 2gb to download this movie thinking Rebel Moon couldn't get any worse, I was wrong. Worst movie and worst dialogue I have ever seen in a movie this year and it isn't even close. I couldn't even finish it😂😂😭. Someone should be looking over Zack Snyder's head when he's writing nonsense

oyaskii:
The absolute dire state of cinema culture mann 😫. The wait time for blockbusters to hit VOD shelves is like one month!. At this despicable rate, no movie is clocking 1bn greens anytime soon, even gulping 500 mil, would be an absolute miracle fgs.

In the case of Monkey Man, I wasn't expecting it to make a lot of money. I just know it will be very successful on streaming

Arizoner:
I have two questions that is burning my heart. marvel fanatics, DC fanatics come around

Why is it possible for madame webb to relive moments and see the future and spiderman cannot?

How was madame paramedic partner able to locate and rescue her alone from that ill fated plunge?

😂😂😂😂😂😂sweetie, there are many burning questions in madame. You just have to switch of your brain to enjoy it, sweetie

DUNE PART TWO...a solid 10/10

If you didn't download this in 1080p or 720p you are missing out, many things dey I fit talk on this movie

1. I like relationship btw emperor shaddam and his daughter a father that listen to his daughter who is a bene gesserit , who else notice that bene gesserit actually controls all the great houses the root of this witches is very deep

2. Stilgar and gurney loyalty to Paul can't be questioned, this guys both believes he's the messiah even before Paul took control

3. Lady Jessica talking to her unborn child, also overthrowing the sisterhood, what space cocaine cannot do does not exist

Those scenes with Stilgar (Javier Bardem) was soo funny to me. Paul could tell Stilgar to cut his two hands and he'll agree! L'isan Al'Ghaib!

Maybe the haters watched the 480p version. I rewatched the 1080p version. The movie is just too beautiful to exist!

abduleez1:


Seems some don't like the movie.
I was also shocked a friend said he didn't like DUNE Part one. And said it was mid. This is a person whom I highly rate his entertainment choices since most of my hobbies and content are very similar.

Also met someone few weeks ago saying Dune was boring, I no too mind am and look am say e no sabi film. So it's prolly a matter of "one man's meat is another man's poison."

Dune Part Two - 12/10
I rewatched this movie on my phone this time. It felt like it was too short!!! The run time could be 4 hours and I would be happy! One of the most rewatchable movies I have ever scene. Every scene is a painting. You could pause at a particular part and you could use it for a wallpaper. One of the most beautiful movies I have ever watched!

WriterNig:


Those clowns that compared this mid series to GOT. How do y'all feel now?

7 episodes in, still nothing intriguing about it. I regret giving it a 7/10 rating, should have been less.

You're right about this tho, the show is kinda mid compared to Game of Thrones. It is like Succession but with no captivating plot

People here saying the Dune movie is a chore, WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you guys watch good movies at all? I rewatched the first Dune like a sixth time!

Watching Dune and sleeping off means you have the attention span of a fly and don''t know what good cinemas is. You definitely wont like a Scorcese movie or even the Lord of the Rings

oyaskii:
Ahoy?! 👀👀

It might also be an April's Fool ruse 🤷🏿‍♂️😭

It isn't. Zaslav don smoke something. A movie that is going to 750mil, you decided it should go directly to streaming. THat's the reason Nolan left WB

Erenjp:
3 Body Problem season 1......8.5/10


Auggie is the most unlikeable and annoying character in the show....she pisses me off everytime she's on screen.

An Alien threat is coming to destroy your planet and your like: "who cares, it's in 400 years"
Wtf??

If you don't want to make efforts to help your race, that's fine, but actively discouraging others from doing so all because your work was used to kill humans who sided with the enemy and have been leading the alien race to earth is annoying...

At least other sensible characters are doing what needs to be done...not that Auggie who is nothing more than a Mary Sue and one with so much nonsense childish drama


Anyway, I've been looking for spoilers from the books the series is based on

This is actually a very real thought process for people without families and who may never have one. It's just a representation of lonely people who don't want to have families

joseph1832:
where can one download Minus One?

On teegram but it is a private 1, it's a HDRip version so it is way better than CamRip

esivue007:

SOZINN:
Lord have mercy.

Looks like there'll be a cast change after they've done some S2 shootings during the S1 shoot. Big problem
