$1.5bn?? I highly doubt that. At best a little over a billion. They said multiple billions bro... That's about $2bn+ which I think is impossible even for MJ.

Bohemian Rhapsody making over $900mn in 2018 is different from the theatrical landscape of 2024 bro. People ain't that enthusiastic about the cinematic experience now with economic downturn everywhere.


I'm also doubting the studio Lionsgate capability to market the movie well. They've never had a billion dollar movie in their history.

Things might change later on, but for now I'm highly skeptical about this project regardless of who MJ was. The cast for the role will be hugely important for getting good numbers.

Beorn:
🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂


I stopped at Episode 1. Couldn't even get to episode 2. The world is definitely ending.

BlackManta:
Season 3 should've been the final one.
But HBO have managed to stretch it to four seasons because....WHY NOT?

It's their biggest show and it gets tons of views.

samistry:
Wetin dey happen?

samistry:
Lupita is fine but they didn't even glam her up so we can buy her as Helen of Troy. Na who 1000 shops burn over be this?
Elliot page na woman, no matter how many testosterone e take.

phr0nesis:
I believe the casting issue isn't that prominent in the movie. Helen of Troy will only appear in the "Trojan War" phase of the movie, and Elliot Page isn't playing Achilles as earlier speculated

oyaskii:
I dey wait this review, because I've got a bad feeling, there isn't this much negativity around a CN movie since him and WB had a spat out over "Tenet"...deary deary me 😩😩

a4turitoroman:
Please do,
The season 2 is trash

0/10 not even 3/10 he rated

joseph1832:
Same way Christopher Nolan dances around Michael Caine eh? Lol

OhBritannia:
Hungry is a solid 5/10 for me.
Not bad at all, a good watch but not a great watch.
I would have loved if they had kept the friend of the only survival and gave her longer screen time.
She was already my favourite before they quickly killed her off.

Anyways the end part makes no sense at all.
The same animal that kills when anything encroaches his surroundings will now stand and watch you while you stand close to his of her baby. Lol
Rubbish scene there.

pu7pl3:
it was great watching this amazing show
not sure why they made only 2 episodes for this season but i’m glad it ended with Rhaenyra finally claiming the throne like her father wanted 🙏🏿

koldrun:
It grossed this high, even with the digital release. By the time the part two is released, I wonder what it'll be.

BlackManta:
The best horror movie of the year is now available on digital

koldrun:
Michael has grossed 977 million dollars.

pu7pl3:
Man FR I've been on their Wiki page since today and I dont think I'd be leaving anytime soon
Ive not even finished season 3 yet
Aparently there is another Ymir that ive not even seen yet.

Baddestguyp:
The plot twist was a mindfúck...

The trio of episodes:

Two brothers
Memories of the Future
From you 2000 years ago...

Btw...check the title of season 1 episode 1

pu7pl3:
Why tf were all these 104 cadet squad guys mostly Titans wtf
Why were they even hiding in the walls?

I think im going down a rabbit hole here😖😤

Baddestguyp:
Season 4 part 2 has my favorite plot twist of all time. Watch it

Achilles100:
Can't wait for HOTD tomorrow. It's gonna be epic. That Kings guard should just commit seppuku, cos there is no need. You decline the express command of your Queen to obey the prince ?!!!

BlackManta:
I still think it's better than S1.
I mean which part of S1 do you think is better than S2?
I can't think of any.

Fro5t:
But it's just a cute story about a brother and a sister 😐

oyaskii:
"Blood Sisters S2 (2026).

"Netflix, stop giving my people money to make drabs like this".

If a Nollywood show is returning for a second season, it is not because they took enough time to make it so that it is good, they did it in haste, for a quick cash grab and it showed. It was a diabolical watch to say the least.

The first season had a very high production value, with a cohesive story tackling an important social vice. You could clearly see Netflix's print on it. But the first sign of disaster for this was the lack of the usual "tudum" intro. It is remoured that Netflix has been quietly scaling back on sponsoring original content here, and it was so obvious.

The story continues from S1, as Kemi and Sarah are facing consequences for their actions, making this a court and prison drama. The production value was gutter quality, The opening shot of the court house, has a Eko Judicial High Court sign, and in the same shot if you observe, There is a "Faculty of Engineering" signpost in the same shot , and the prison walls was the same as the courthouse, so probably a hotel block in the uni.

It was riddled with so many plot holes, that i lost count and the acting were so amateurish even from established members of the Cast which the shamely tried to cover by saying to many unnecessary swear words..f bombs were flying left right and center.

They tried to Hollywoodized, and do OITNB, which doesn't work well in a Nigerian context and failed terribly at both, their worst crime was hinting at a possibility of an S3, but they will be actually crazy if they do it. The final straw of how rubbish this show was, was when they had a typo in one of the episodes title cards 😩, i just burst out laughing. There wasn't a clear thinking person anywhere around this show, not in production, and certainly not in cast.


A miserable watch.

3/10

Fro5t:
So when will you be rewatching Grave of the Fireflies? 😁

koldrun:
Why the spoilers? Mtcheew

BlackManta:
Before you watch Netflix ATLA S2, you need to accept that this show will never be as good as the cartoon and adjust your expectations.

Season 2 is much better than season 1.

The visual effects and the pacing have improved.

Team Avatar is better, their relationship is stronger. The acting is better and they have way better chemistry here than they did in season 1.

Toph Beifong is perfect. The actress is brilliant. She got everything right, down to the mannerism, attitude, personality and even the voice.

Season 2 still got pacing issues. Some episodes move really fast and some are slow and boring.

Some dialogues are cringey and some of the fight scenes were poorly done.

The main plot is barely changed. Everything else is loosely adapted.

The production design is much better.

Basing Se feels like a real city. They built sets instead of filming everything with CGI like they did with Omashu is season 1.

I have watched all 7 episodes.

I went in with low expectations because I didn't like season 1 very much and I wasn't disappointed.

I'm glad season 2 is better but there's still room for improvement.

I will give it a decent 7/10

abduleez1:
Lol, I don't know why the show runners gave him that weird look. I'm like what's going on here. 😂

They probably did that to make him look more menacing. It's a wild dragon and has never been tamed for almost a century. I mean, this same dragon killed more hopeful Dragonriders combined than all other dragons.

So, Rhaena is pretty much stupid for trying such.
This is a major reason why dragons are bonded with a rider at a young age. Not a wild animal that has always roamed free till adulthood, a stark difference from other Targaryen dragons.

It's a different take from the books but I think I preferred Nettles better.

2 years later, this post aged like milk.

Just remembered this post after watching a documentary on Iran/USA/Isreal.

pu7pl3:
Watch everything slow down after this episode while they spend the rest of the season building to another season
