let me guess...
The main dude was the double agent all along?

Baddestguyp:
apparently someone cannot criticize something again

I've been hyping The Flash for quite a while on this thread without complaining much about the CGI on the trailers because it was still in progress and I believed it would be fixed before the release of the movie...

Now that I saw the final trailer and the CGI still looks quite underwhelming... apparently I should not complain abi?

DC fanboys sha...don't become like Marvel fanboys that defend anything

Baddestguyp:
you never had issues with the length of the movie? That's quite surprising cos many people did have issues with the length as from what I've seen online...
And tbh the movie had no reason to be that long

Honestly I can't remember much about Chapter 3...but it's quote weird that none of his associates mentioned such an easy way out for John Wick...
In chapter 4 there seemed to be quite a number of people who knew about that method

The rule too makes things quite easy...you can kill the Marquis or commit any attrocity and walk Scot free by simply challenging the new Marquis to a duel...or if you don't have a family already, you can join one and do the challenge...

It means any member of a family can do and undo and simply walk away free with a duel

I didn't go in expecting a masterpiece story...I went to see Keenu Reeves kick some àss....
And I did enjoy the movie and the fight scenes

My major complaints however are:

1. Length...3 hours was too much...it became very tedious...it was like watching a 3 hours fighting compilation...it was fun for a while, then it became a chore...
The fight on the busy road was refreshing tho

2. Resolution...the resolution was quite weak. After killing the previous Marquis...all he had to do was join a family and stage a duel with the new one to be free from his obligations?
What was the point of Chapter 3 then?

Watching a movie for fighting scenes doesn't mean I won't notice these things

Baddestguyp:
John Wick 4 ..... 6.8/10

Review will be as spoiler-free as possible since most haven't watched it

It's kind of expected but this movie is 95% fights and 5% story....
This may seem normal for a John Wick movie, but the 3 hours length makes it far more noticeable

You could as well watch a YouTube compilation of fight scenes in John Wick 4 and you wouldn't have missed much

The action scenes were good but went on for too long that they got tiring. Having several action scenes of like 30minutes length does get tiring in a 3 hours movie

They really could have reduced this movie to 2 hours

My favorite action scene was the one on the road with cars driving by. That was awesome and chaotic...
And as usual, with fight scenes having less cuts, they were awesome

I personally didn't like the story direction in this movie and the ending too...
I'm yet to see the point of the Mr. Nobody and his dog...felt like a character the movie could have done without

Also, as usual, police don't exist in the John Wick world.
The bodies piled up would have been impossible to clean

WriterNig:
🎥 Searching (2018) = 7/10 ✔️

WriterNig:
🎥 John Wick Chapter 4 (2023) = 6.5/10 ✔️

Not realistic. Overhyped.

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL 3 REVIEW

A SATISFYING CONCLUSION TO A SPECTACULAR TRILOGY

GOTG 3 is James Gunn's swan song and final entry in the MCU and as you would expect, it is very good and entertaining movie.

This movie packs a punch with everything you'd expect from a great MCU movie. It has a very good, compelling and emotional story. Great action sequences, beautiful visual effects. Satisfying characters.

Every Guardian in this movie has moments where they get to shine very well, even Kraglin and Cosmo had their moments. Peter Quill was fun to watch. His arc was nice and he got a satisfying send off.

The Russo Brothers really put Gunn in a tight spot when they killed off Gamora and brought back a different version of the character. But James Gunn showed his amazing skill as a writer and tackled that situation head on by introducing a whole new theme of dealing with loss and learning to let go.

Mantis and Nebula were fun to watch in this movie. Drax is also funny. Although the humor in this one is not as good as the previous films but it was okay overall.
Groot was fine and he seems to have evolved into a more efficient member of the team. The way he utilizes his body in this movie was really innovative.

Chukwudi Iwuji as the High Evolutionary is a perfect casting. He brought his A game and delivered a very good performance as the villain.
The High Evolutionary as a villain is well written. He is a sadist, powerful and terrifying. He means business. The movie doesn't just do pointless exposition telling you how evil he is. They actually show him doing extremely evil sh*t. There's a whole action sequence where this guy nukes an entire planet. He's the best villain in the trilogy.

The story is very emotional, so moving. Especially Rocket's backstory. It was painful and soul crushing.
There was a scene where he asked if he could follow his old friends but Lyla said "No, you still have a purpose here".

Everybody in my theatre was silent when that scene played out.

Guardians of the galaxy is mostly funny and lighthearted. But vol 3 gets very dark and gritty. The movie makes a point against animal cruelty by showing some gruesome unorthodox experiments metted out on poor creatures.

But don't worry. The movie is not entirely dark and gritty. The other half of the movie is lighthearted and James Gunn does a great job balancing tonal differences.

Another thing I love this movie is the personal stakes.
The guardians are not trying to stop a world destroying egomaniac. Instead they are in a race against time to save the life of a friend.
This makes for a more heartfelt and compelling story. A much better story than GOTG 1 and 2.

The visuals in this movie is very well done. It's beautiful and watching this movie you can tell that the VFX crew had plenty of time and room to do an excellent job.

The action is spectacular. James Gunn is a great action director.
There's this one take 4 minutes action scene that he did in some kind of hallway with all the guardians. It was so good. I can't wait to see it again.

The one thing I dislike about this movie is the subverted expectations.
The trailers give you the impression that someone is going to die, as a matter of fact James Gunn in one of his interviews implied that not all of the guardians will survive.
Well, now I've seen the movie, I can tell you for a fact that all of them survived even the villain.

There's a new character in this movie. Adam Warlock. I didn't care for him and I thought he stuck out like a sore thumb.

Overall this is a great movie. I think it's tied with GOTG 1 as the best in the trilogy.

Top tier MCU. A diamond in the rough considering the fact that MCU overall is at its weakest right now with a forgettable phase 4 and a phase 5 that started with a crap Antman movie.

GOTG 3 is refreshing. A satisfying movie that reminds us how good the MCU can be.

My rating…. 9/10

Octopusssy:
Ask your sister. She is in the best position to know

Baddestguyp:
No idea...
I'm not done with the first episode yet ..

It's giving me AOT vibes that there's a world out there...maybe even a full civilization

But then where I am, they're talking about sending those who want to go outside...sending them outside...which means something is actually outside

They know that caging people forever will never work, people will riot...and besides it works as population control

My guess is the Silo was built for an experiment... something like what happened in Claymore...

If it was just the air being toxic, how did the humans have enough time to build a full underground Silo while on the brink of a full disaster?

Baddestguyp:
I just started episode 2 of Silo

I have a suspicion that there is poison in the helmet itself and not the air outside

Baddestguyp:
Imagine starting a documentary with:
"My Grandma told me that : I don't care what they taught you at school, Cleopatra was black"

Wtf? Who TF allowed that line on a documentary?
It's insulting to the audience

Documentary that's supposed to be based on facts is based on "my grandma told me..." 😂😂😂


I don't know yet if I'll watch Peter Pan and Wendy...
All I know is I won't spend a dime on it...

Baddestguyp:
I dropped it since

Just started Silo...
I have some guesses already as to what is outside the Silo

Okay so these are my very best season movies of all time! Across all genres.

What makes a good season movie for me are;

-wonderful storyline or scriptwriting, that is, good intricate interwoven plotlines that leave you wanting more. Eg, Breaking bad, sense8, the wire etc.
-Superb cinematic production value. Series that when you watch, you see that money was well spent, the asthetics, scenery and the likes were well crafted. Game of thrones, legend of seeker, the west wing.

Top notch Creativity.
Wonderful performances from the actors. Olivia pope in scandal, Annalise Keating in HTGAWM. Jack Bauer of 24 etc. Malik of mr robot. House of cards.

Of course educative and informative.

So these are my very best seasonal movies. Many possess all or most of the qualities i listed above. I just couldn't get enough. Although some disappointed with the endings but the vast majority were jaw dropping.

Ps; i love all genres of series apart from maybe "religious and conservative series". My favorite genre has to be political drama series. Any series that has the office of the president or a form of government intrigue, constantly features the white house or pentagon or other bureaucracy like the CIA, FBI or the likes. So sometimes this can mix up with detective series. But political dramas like west wing, house of cards, scandal, veep, 24 are some of my favorite.

In no particular order but my top 5 being the very best before the rest of the best.
The wire
Game of thrones
The west wing (i cannot overemphasize this series enough)
Breaking bad
24
Midnight mass
Squid games.
House of cards
Fargo
Ozarks
Peaky blinders
True detective
Homeland
Fringe
Mr robot.
Money heist.
Elite
Veep
How to get away with murder
Vikings
Scandal
Better call Saul
Boston legal
Person of interest
Suits
Desperate housewives.
Billions
Succession
Narcos
Criminal minds
Smallville (just personal appeal)
Madam secretary
The boys

There you have it!
There is not a single series you would watch on this list that you wouldn't enjoy and want more.
These are the very best of entertainment from my experience.

Baddestguyp:
everyone is allowed to have their opinion

My initial quote was that it was probably the best directed episode...not that it was the best episode of TV


And I stand by that...
The directing in that episode beats Ozymandias imo

You can argue about other elements in the episode...but for direction, it easily beats it imo

You're free to agree or disagree imo

And Ozymandias isn't even in my own top 10 episodes of TV...

Baddestguyp:
This is still probably the best directed TV episode of all time

Mr Robot S04E07

A masterpiece

I watched this episode and stood up to clap for the director...
