Imo there nothing wrong with a movie having political messages as long as it's well written and doesn't feel preachy

Every movie has a message but it should never affected the main purpose of movies to entertain

pu7pl3:
I thought you already saw it yourself. Why is your opinion wavering cos of that post?

It's truly a great movie. All I'm talking about is perception. Some people will not see it because they'll find it woke already🤷🏾‍♂️ and that's not good for business

Chibudollar:
Superman will tank because of this?

Not likely but it certainly would affect the morale of the movie. I'm not very sure of a billion anymore. preaching instead of entertaining (which in my opinion it didn't) is Hollywood right now and people don't want that anymore

Illusioneffect:
It'll do well, I've no doubt about it at this point. Those bad reviews are fake imo. Comic book fans will eat this movie up

Oh sorry I take this back!

Chibudollar:
There's one guy I follow on Twitter and his everyday prayer is for the upcoming Superman movie to flop. He is a Snyder/Henry cavil big fan e too funny wallai. More reason why I want to upcoming Superman movie to do well. Hope it does well enough

There's this unpopular opinion that's always been on my mind some years now— I feel Keanu Reeves is just one note. He's not really a good actor to me and/or lacks range. His delivery of dialogue or it's probably the way he talks just takes me out of his scenes in recent movies. He just delivers his dialogue lazily like he's reading the script and not acting. I like him more when he just acts and shoot things up without saying anything.
I know I haven't decisively sit down and watch his magnum opus which brought him to fame— The Matrix trilogy; so I don't know if he was good while younger but his recent movies just brings up his acting deficit when he's not playing John Wick.

His only convincing role for me has been Constantine and that's hardly much cos I ain't even a big fan of that movie.

I feel you. He does sound like he's reading bedtime stories to himself sometimes. Buttt… he’s lowkey built his whole brand off that calm, stoic delivery. It's not range — it's vibe and it Works. Wick? Perfect. Shakespeare? God, no. 😂

Also, My Own Private Idaho — young Keanu actually had chops there. You should peep it.

So yeah, you're not wrong. He isn't the GOAT actor. But he’s Keanu. And somehow… that’s enough.

Superman (2025) – No-Spoiler Review 🎬🦸‍♂️💫

David Corenswet brings Superman to life like never before — strong, soft, hopeful. Rachel Brosnahan? The most Lois Lane Lois Lane we’ve had. Their chemistry? 100% newsroom-flirting-meets-save-the-world energy.

But let’s talk cinematography — gorgeous. This ain’t gray and gritty Metropolis. It’s vibrant, wide-sky America with sunlight that means something. Every frame feels like it believes in Superman as much as he believes in us.

James Gunn cooked definitely his best film ever and that's saying something.
You can tell this wasn’t just a paycheck — it’s personal. He strips Superman down to what matters: hope, decency, and the courage to stay kind in a cruel world. Somehow, he made it feel classic and brand new.

Score: 9.5/10
This isn’t just a superhero movie It's also a political thriller and a non stop thrill ride.
It'll definitely make a lot of money

joseph1832:
Now seeing all this high powered cast, I'm wondering what the budget will be like, because paying these actors is something else. Lol

The budget is 250m

BlackManta:
Make sure to drop a non-spoiler review for us

I will 😊
By the way, Just watched Jurassic world abi park - an average movie but still fun to watch. The most important thing was the Odyssey teaser at the end!!!
Nothing much just Tom Holland talking about his father to the Punisher and waves of water. Very careful teaser giving the fact they just started shooting

I'm watching Superman tomorrow!!!😭😭😭😭

abduleez1:
Damn..... The perfect casting for Circe. Since Anya Chalotra is Circé in DCU, I don't mind Charlize being Hecate.

Pls Nolan, make it R rated and you'd be my GOAT. 🙏🏽

It probably will be
Greek mythology is brutal: blood, guts, gods misbehaving, monsters, seduction, existential dread.

Have you watch this epic movie ?

Oyaskii should send a gif that illustrates what we think of this post

Here's the full list for those curious of the TOP 100 21st Century movies:


I've watched 38/100..... 😭😭

Basically that's about 38 movies I've watched so far in a possible 76 I would have watched.

More Chris Nolan movies gets in but farther down the list in the top 100: Memento, Inception, Oppenheimer, Interstellar.

I've watched 59/100. 30% of the ones I've watched shouldn't be on the list

The list is truly ass. I watched Mulholland Drive and it's probably one of the strangest and the weirdest movie I've watched this year - I had to watch YouTube movie to understand the movie. Not even in my top 500. But parasite is no 1 and I can understand that

My last three movie going experiences have been great
F1 is an 11/10 best movie I've watched since Dune part two. Sounds editing and great storytelling at its finest. Damson Idris is so finneee and I'm not even gay

The Odyssey poster🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Marriage sorry Ke?

BlackManta:
I find Sydney Sweeney very attractive but I never rated her as an actress and this is why.

She and Ana de Armas are in the same category. Overrated actress who made it in Hollywood because of their sex appeal.

If Sydney wasn't a famous actress, she would be doing Onlyfans.

The advertisement for her bathwater soap is literally softporn.

"Hello dirty little boys, are you interested in my body". WTF is that A glamorized cornstar masquerading as an actress.

most women are actresses because MEN find them attractive bro. Get that in your head, she's just taking the advantage even further

oyaskii:
Your self proclaimed hyper fanaticism with the Harry Potter lore has probably blinded you from discerning your fantasies from logic, ever since this show was announced, to a damn near annoying condescending level tbh.

It's not like you have the screenwriter on speed dial or have a PhD in scriptwriting...you are just in the dark, as we all are, concerning what they are gonna do with the characters. It's not like they haven't changed traits of major characters in adaptations before and considering the times we are in, all bets are off the table.

You have such a high hopes for the prod team, when one of the writers openly claimed, he wasn't arsed to read the books!

Not saying you shouldn't be bubbly about one of your favourite franchises as you claim, but still open your eyes to logic and the signs of the times.

Hey, fair points—but let’s slow the roll a bit 😅. My optimism isn't blind fanaticism, it's based on patterns and actual industry trends. Sure, I don’t have the screenwriter on speed dial (would be nice though lol), but I do follow how reboots are usually handled—especially ones that are this high-profile.

This isn't a "loosely based" adaptation or a soft reboot—it's a book-faithful series. That's the core selling point HBO and Warner Bros have been hammering from the start. They know the fanbase would riot if core character traits of Harry, Hermione, or Ron were fundamentally changed.

Of course changes can happen—and yeah, they have in past adaptations. But the idea that they’d completely reinvent the main trio just for shock value goes against everything they've said. If we were dealing with a Netflix young adult reimagining, sure, I'd be worried too. But this is HBO. Prestige TV. They thrive on deep, layered adaptations that stay true to source while expanding the world tastefully.

Also, one writer not reading the books? That’s annoying, but that’s one person on a massive team. The showrunner and executive producers have the final say—and if they’re backing fidelity to the source, then that matters more than a staff writer.

Bottom line: I’m not saying everyone has to be optimistic, but it’s wild to call it “dumb” to expect professionalism from a studio that’s known for setting high bars. Being hopeful about a beloved series getting proper treatment isn’t blind—it’s just not jaded.

phr0nesis:
I don't expect them to make the characters different, if they do however, it won't surprise me. I haven't read House of the Dragons books, but I'm very sure Rhaenyrea isn't bisexual and yet the show made it so.
HBO does not prioritise inclusiveness as much as Disney, but they do it nonetheless.

they do because it is 'necessary' to them but it never affects the actual canon of the show. Harry being gay definitely does

phr0nesis:
Harry had a girlfriend, who later became his wife, however, I won't be shocked if they take that direction. It's best not to get too invested in a project, until it's finally out

you guys have the dumbest ideas. How in the fcking world will they make any of the three MAIN characters something they're not in the books. If you know anything about screenwriting, you'd know they can't change any character traits of main characters except it's reviving a show and not rebooting it. The three characters will be exactly how they are in the books or they'll be mildly their traits or over-the-top with their traits, they can't be something else.
Plus I have said this already- the show-runner, directors and writers of the show are not new young folks who want to be too creative - it's HBO!!! not Netflix. this directors are the best in the business. I'm more optimistic than pessimistic, it's Warner Bros we're talking about here not Disney

joseph1832:
Yep. From Philosopher's Stone to Deathly Hallows.

I know the books like the back of my hand.

The movies were not bad - but if you were to compare it to the books - then they're bad. But if they are going to follow the same plot points as the books and be faithful to the adaptations it will definitely be a great show no matter the casting. You should know that the show would do justice to Harry Potter than the movie because they've a lot more time to do that

joseph1832:
I'm a Harry Potter fan myself, and frankly, I don't think this Harry Potter series will be any different than the movies. The movies suck.

Oh really have you read the books?

Loneley:
An issue a number of us had with the movies were how shallow they were when compared with the books.

Even with Deathly Hallows split into two parts, it still felt a bit incomplete.

While I'm optimistic about the cast so far, except for Snape, if the series is a lot more detailed than the movies, then it's job well done

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if they actually do everything and more in the show it will be exceptional! those complaining on X are looking for attention

DieRich5:
funny, bro I’m a big fan and I know what I’m talking about

fantastic beasts is a spin-off prequel to the Harry Potter and it’s a great movies and we the fans love it……so yes any prequel or sequel will definitely be successful but not a remake of the original “first greatest”

This new Harry Potter is a reboot not a different story and we all watched the old casts when they were kids to adulthood for years so how will this new casts do justice to the same like able characters?

Now as a big fans of Harry Potter it’s will be very hard for us to love the remake.

i'm probably the biggest hp fan in my mind and as someone who reads the books yearly - the movies did not do total justice to the books at all and their are a lot of stuff hp fans would love to see visually. So you can be skeptical but u dont need to pass justice or judgement on it before it even starts filming so calm down - this is the same response when planet of the apes and star trek as rebooted but it turned out to even be better

fbawtft is good?

sugarsoul:
Please did you get to download it or you watched at cinemas?

cinema

DieRich5:
Somethings don’t need remake cus it’s will never be the same and it’s won’t feel right

This new Harry Potter will never do well and the cast will never fit the roles of the old casts

Probably because you aren't a Harry Potter fan enough and don't know how huge Harry Potter is. Harry Potter isnt Marvel - any Harry Potter show will be successful - the haters aren't the real fans and the haters will be watching to

BlackManta:
Get used to these faces.

You're gonna watch them grow up every year for the next eight years.

I hope HBO is prepared to release a new season every year.

No go do same mistake Netflix did with Stranger Things.

I absolutely love this casting!!!

Movies I watched this week
Final Destination series - 8/10
When you actually understand what the movies mean - you'd just enjoy it turning your brain another brain off movie for me is
Minecraft - 11/10 - I watched this with some kids and I was just laughing and entertaining myself just looking at the kids being happy and the absurdity of the movie - the actors were so bad - the script was probably the worst of the year but nonetheless watching the movie with kids around you makes it fun to watch
Lilo & Stitch - 7/10 - The adaptation is better than the original imo

Superman 20 mins test screening - 10/10 - probably they put the best part of the movie but not to spoil anything -it is actually great. This was the part of The skin headed guy entering Superman's lair and trapping him in a cage - heroine infested action! I FCKING CANT WAIT!!

How to train your dragon preview - 10/10 - I'm sorry their're so many ten over tens but the adaptation is a way better movie and I can't even believe I'm saying this!
