Even the actors are not ashamed of themselves. If a producer is not getting it right the actors can set him straight and if he chooses to go ahead and make a ridiculous movie you walk out of the movie. But we know Nigeria stars are after been paid not reputation.


That's why I support Hollywood in adapting our African stories as long as our African value and cultures are not replaced.

lol Netflix thinks, spamming Nigerian content, will get more people to subscribe here 😃. I can't even begin to count the reasons why this is counter productive, chief among them being, the damn economy dealing squarely with like 70% of the populace. Can't be thinking of Netflix sub when belly dey empty and other more important bills dey pile up fa 😩. Infact, active Netflix subscribers here is below 200k!. South Africa has like 70% of the total subscribers in sub Saharan africa, so I don't know why Netflix is not throwing their money there.

Well, i have longed clocked that, "The Idea of being Nigerian" has a far more appealing allure, than "being Nigerian and actually living here".... people around the world love our content for some reason and it is very easy for Netflix to sell it.

Kaycee7 say make we wait, say 2035, say him go change the industry....so fingers crossed 🤞🏿 and Inshallah 🙏🏿😁

Hmm, interesting premise.....
But the costumes, set, location and feel of the movie ain't it. Toyota Hilux vehicles for the military in 1993? See the camo worn by the soldiers sef, it looks very modern. Even that helicopter transport Mi-17 desert camo looks like something as recent as 2015.
At least they seem to have had some sort of collabo with the military.

Is this another vibes and insha'Allah project from Netflix Nollywood ??
Oyaskii come see your people. 😂

Bruhhh... Nollywood stresses me out fr 😩.

It's even Netflix i blame because, it's like they don't care about their rep here. How are they giving 100% creative keys to Nigerian Filmmakers who have shown gross incompetence in times past?

If you are adapting a movie from an historical event, common sense should tell you that the props is the absolute thing you get right even if all other part is wrong.

Well, you'd just know it's the most obvious 4/10 flick 🕊️🕊️😩...but i will still show up... pretty clear that this industry might never leave the trenches.

seanwilliam:
I just finished the walking dead and breaking bad.
Now I’m on Better call Saul …

iamL:
That movie is 3/10 for me and that's because I love Asia movies. Total nonsense and waste of data.

abduleez1:
Bruh, I concede. 😩😩
I don't think Todd Phillips will have a job anymore for a high budget big studio project in the near future. The man has burnt bridges and is a living cautionary tale as to why studios supervises Directors.

abduleez1:
Solid watchlist.

I've been hearing much talk about The Substance but I'm still undecided about it.

WriterNig:
🎥 The Killer’s Game (2024) = 3.8/10 ✔️ ❤️

OhBritannia:
Lol but all jokes aside, penguin is a good show.

Though when it comes to ratings, i recently rated Deadpool and wolverine a 2 and it's because i feel like both the writers and the casts weren't serious.
Maybe they used the movie as a front for money laundering. Lol

OhBritannia:
By reddit you mean you saw spoilers?
And you are right on how good the writing of show is, one of the things i like about the writing of the show is how well they are focusing now on character developments, you can see that some characters are now beginning to grow on the audience and that's how a show is supposed to grow.

Tell me you dont know what a Villain means without telling me you don't know what a Villain means.

OhBritannia:
The penguin episode 3 is a solid 9/10 for me.

Personally this is the best episodes so far solely because of the character development and then telling the storyline in a deep manner so that the audience can finally connect and relate to what's going on.

I like the final transition of Victor from being innocent and now fully in the game and what he had to give up in order to fully transcend into the game.
I like the deep dialogues in this episode 3, dialogues of character developments.

Now the game has began fully, i can't wait for episode 4.

oyaskii:
We might have to declare a public holiday the day a show rates below 5 in your books 😩.

I envy your exceptional high taste bossman, you have a [i]clairvoyant knack [/i]of only picking the best shows to see..👍🏾

oyaskii:
Has a show even become dramatically better after a bad season in recent times? 🤔...it rarely happens. For it to happen, the preceding season has to have some form of discernable quality.

I have no business continuing a show, that contextually had a bad season in my view...i need to be this ruthless considering how precious the time and effort, I am vesting into it, is 😩

abduleez1:
Moulin Rouge!......6.5/10

It's a tragic love story about a poetry writer falling in love with a highly sought after courtesan.

This is definitely one of the loudest and [i]chaotically filmed, edited [/i]and sound mixing or scoring I've ever seen in an opening 30 mins for a movie.

Ishilove:
The Dark Tower is due for adaptation? Great!! They better not mess it up like they have done with Salem's Lot, which indeed is one of the scariest King novels and I am truly amazed at the negative reviews it has been receiving.

Kaycee7:
How long do you want this list to be?

TheStrongest:
Don't hear, watch.. judge from your views.

Colson:
Came here to check for TV series to binge watch.
Started watching "the last of us" two days ago and was enjoying the show until episode 3 where there was an unnecessary and off-putting gay scene. I stopped watching and totally lost interest in the series since then.

OhBritannia:
How we felt throughout season 1 and 2 on who is sauron..
Lol

TemporaryHansel:
Although ratings are subjective, I think this guy over exaggerate too much. This was the same way he rated Queen Woo 10/10. Imagine rating that bore fest 10/10?

I must say your taste in films is quite weird... Well, everything comes to personal choices in the end. Maybe I have too much expectations, that's why I'm disappointed? 🤔

BlackManta:
Joker 2 makes history as the first CBM ever to recieve a D cinema score

Congratulations to WB, Todd Phillips and everyone involved in this mess.

This movie will go down as one of the worst comic book movies of all time

Do you mean YouTube links?

abduleez1:
I disagree with this.... There's a good number of instances where directors have still gotten jobs despite flopping bad.

A living working director is Ridley Scott. Man has underperforming and flop movies littered across his career in Kingdom of Heaven (2004), Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014)..... The Last Duel(2021) and Napoleon (2023) both being catastrophic back to back flops with both costing $100mn & $200mn respectively and yet he's still getting top gigs.
In fact, his new film Gladiator II this December is rumoured around $250mn.

Essentially, I'll posit this to say it depends on your directorial pedigree. There are big directors and top directors....still everybody get him grade.

Then there's Martin Scorsese [/b]who got about $200mn for Killers of The Flower Moon. [b]Denis Villeneuve had a catastrophic flop in Bladerunner 2049 in 2017 yet he was rewarded by WB with two DUNE movies with similar big budgets.

Although I still agree with you that I can see Todd Philips for getting punished with the aftermath of Joker 2 if it outrightly flops. Still, its not set in stone for any big time director.

Attack on Titan
Naruto
Vinland saga
Devilman crybaby

abduleez1:
Calm down bros.... This just proves the movie is HATED and not actually that bad.

Worse than MORBIUS, Madame Web, Catwoman??
You dey whine me ni.

Simply put, it wasn't the expectations audiences went with to see it. So the disappointment led to people annoyingly rating it poorly.
But to be actually worse than majority of these movies na lamba.
