pu7pl3:The last season was trash👀 they tried to make it emotional but failed, it felt overcooked and the story of the last one who decided to be a man just felt out of touch, they could have fleshed her transition to better fit the story but they didn't, all the conversations with her/him were so cringe😪 |
iamL:Hmm solid point |
abduleez1:Maybe But for bad boys 4 life to rake 400mn plus during a pandemic and this one looking more action oriented and more of a blockbuster, anything is possible |
Ishilove:😂😂😂 like Kaycee7 quotes 'There is nothing wrong with having an opinion. The problem is having an opinion and thinking that's the end of it, that you don't have to justify it, or argue for it, or be open to the possibility of revising it.' |
JackBizzle:You just made my point clearer😂wtf! |
abduleez1:This series has over stayed its welcome |
JackBizzle:Bro you don't still understand that no one gives a fck where you've been traveling to because no one gives a fck about anyone here, this is an anonymous site, I could say I'm the prince of Wales and no one will give a flying fck. Bro, you can rant about the countries you've been to in the travel section and continue being the annoying atheist everyone tries to ignore |
abduleez1:How much do you think bad boys ride or die will make? My guess is 600 million |
abduleez1:The only time you'ld be able to watch kinds of kindness is next year probably |
JackBizzle:Okk👌 but no one is asking how many countries your definition of around the world is. I've lived in almost every major United States city for 12 years now🤷🏼♂️ not 'around the world' so I can tell you anyone who thinks Nigeria that's almost the same size as just California is more sinful than the whole of America is either ignorant, a grown ass liar or is just too dumb enough to understand grade 2 geography and politics. Just the city of Las Vegas or Chicago can contest for who is more dirty. You guys are complaining of girls dressing half naked in Nigeria😂😂 when dressing with just a see through towel to the bank is normal behaviour in Vegas. You could land in Vegas close your eyes and open it anywhere and see something 'disgusting' that you won't see anywhere in Nigeria - just publicly not in the safety of one's house. You could go to the gas station and in the next 2 minutes your dck is in a woman's mouth for free if you want to. You should try it in Nigeria😂😂 No offence, globe trotting Ass fcker🤞 |
iamL:I love you for this, ❤️❤️ Let’s get married! Realest statement of the day. Sometimes I can't even watch a Hollywood movies without a headset. Movies are now like Twitter, you can't watch it in public But to be fair, sex in movies is actually reducing in recent statistics so maybe we're going back to the old days, we never know |
JackBizzle:Said by someone whose idea of the USA is from Twitter |
johnyace:Definitely Mr Robot |
abduleez1:I saw this!😂 Someone in the comments said maybe Reynolds bullied him in school😂. Some people just don't understand movies enough in my opinion, not every actor is meant to star in 'serious' movies. Would the guy say Jim Carrey is less of an actor than let's say Cillian Murphy because he plays only comedic roles. He is doing what he does best and his bank account tells him how successful he's doing everyday. Some people think comedy's child's play. It's very very difficult to play comedy - good comedy and every he's played has been done well - I actually liked Red Notice and loved Free Guy. Plus the guy own several companies - billion dollar companies o like Aviator Gin, Mint Mobile one mattress company and even Co owns a football team and all became successful when he came on board! So the guy has a lot to manage to give space for a Twitter troll |
Arizoner:I was watching the same film at the exact same time you posted this. 6/10 film tho |
The Planet of the Apes Trilogy Rise of the Planet of the Apes: The trilogy’s first film is its weakest, though that’s not a very bruising blow. Rise of the Planet of the Apes suffers from its status as a setup film (as well as the fact that, for much of its running time, the apes play second fiddle to their human masters). James Franco is the audience hook, playing a scientist who cares for a young ape after its lab-experiment mother is killed. But over the course of the film, the ape (called “Caesar,” a name that will prove quite relevant with time) slowly grows into the film’s emotional center. As excellently played by Andy Serkis (with the help of some stunning CG motion-capture technology), Caesar is a genetically and intellectually-enhanced primate, and we grow to root for him as he attempts to help his fellow apes (cruelly imprisoned in a testing facility) while also stop them from becoming the savages they are viewed as. It’s not until the third act that Rise develops any real kinetic action, but as we’ll come to see, action is not the central focus of this series. Director Rupert Wyatt, along with writers Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, use the trilogy’s first film to contrast the lofty position of humans with the lowly statuses of apes, and lets us wonder which species is more morally sound. It’s a question that will develop more deeply and effectively in the two sequels. 8/10 Dawn of the Planet of the Apes: Perhaps the deepest film in the trilogy, Dawn works as both a compelling tale and a dark political allegory, filtered through a “survival of the fittest” message. With humanity’s population thinned by a worldwide virus, the apes seem likely to become the dominate species – but it’s not a role thy inherit by choice. The film contrasts the primates’ moral conflict through a leadership struggle between Caesar and Koba; the former believes in humanity’s right to survive, the latter (having been tortured in a lab for years) would happily see them all dead. Two things of note stand out about Dawn. First is the quiet, atmospheric tone. Director Matt Reeves (a world away from Felicity) crafts a post-apocalyptic world that carefully sidesteps the all-too-common dystopian tropes. Here, humanity teeters on the edge of extinction, and their desperation is reflected in a world marked by ravage and ruin – yet still has unmistakable echoes of the world our characters inhabited in Rise. The other noteworthy aspect is the portrayal of the human characters. Though they’re wisely given secondary focus to the apes (who get most of the meatier dramatic scenes), there’s enough material to display how fractured and desperate mankind has become at this harrowing stage, to the point that we wonder whether some of them are even worthy of survival. The parallels between people and apes are quite clear; by the end, we’re left wondering which group is truly more human. 9/10 War for the Planet of the Apes: The third film of the series is the most epic in scope, yet also makes the most effective use of silence and little moments. Designed as a grand finale, War hits all the necessary beats to provide a satisfying finish. There’s terrific action, strong character development, emotional follow-up from the previous film, and an overall sense of finality to the story. Despite the title, there’s very little war depicted onscreen here. Instead, the final film in the trilogy focuses on the cost of war – particularly how it takes its toll on Caesar. Now leading the apes in a conflict he never wanted, losing friends and family to the savagery of his opponents, Caesar begins to lose himself in anger and hatred. No longer is he the cute little ape we met back at the start of Rise; the losses he’s encumbered have turned him into a hardened warrior. The body count in War is quite high, yet few of the deaths are without poignance or meaning. And that says a lot about how many three-dimensional characters the film crafts. Some heroes betray, while some villains repent – in such a battle-scarred world, the lines between good and evil have been weathered beyond recognition. For all of its genetic bleakness, War sets aside a little space for humor (in the form of a “bad ape” played by Steve Zahn), and includes some references geared to satisfy fans of the original series (such as the introduction of a young Nova). But at its best, War for the Planet of the Apes succeeds as a battlefront drama, pushing its story and characters to the emotional limit, and making its central simians feel more human than ever. It’s a grand finish to a remarkable trilogy. The original Planet of the Apes may go down in history as the definitive version of the story, but I do hope that over time, people continue to discover the newer series – and realize that remakes can still be done right. 10/10 |
abduleez1:What other mini series did HBO make👀 because White Lotus is overhyped and Watchmen was mid. Netflix makes awesome mini series better in my opinion. Beef is an award winner, Maid, Midnight Mass, The Fall of the House of Usher, Inventing Anna, The Haunting of Hill House, When they See Us are all award winners too and it's not even close |
oyaskii:What would you compare the mini series to? I've always wanted to watch it but I didn't enjoy the first episode and never proceeded further |
