Ok, here are my thoughts on Titanic & Avatar and why they're not overrated.

Titanic
Love stories and abundant and usually tiring & boring. Every single love story has been repeated innumerable times over history. What matters is how the story is told, and in what setting the story takes place in.
The Titanic movie is unique in that the love story is a subset of one of the most significant maritime tragedies in human history. The film did an amazing job portraying how that ship sank. Even if one completely ignores Jack & Rose, the rest of the film is spellbinding. The film also demonstrated some degree of how raw human emotion can get in the midst of tragedy & impending doom. So many emotional scenes, such as
- The mother who lay in her room with her kids comforting them as the water flowed into their room to drown them
- The band who kept playing while people all around them were in chaos
- The captain who became mute and died by the ship's 'wheel'
- The ship's officer who mistakenly shot Jack's friend & then killed himself
- The ship's officer who rejected Rose's fiancé’s money while saying "your money cant save you now"
- The smart rich lady who admonished the people on her boat who refused to turn back to help survivors
- The fear & desperation on people's face as they desperately held on while the ship turned on it's horizontal axis and then broke
- The perseverance of Rose to survive, as she struggled through the cold water to get that whistle.
- The anger in Rose's fiancée when he realized He had lost emotional control over Rose as he saw that Rose was willing to ignore her safety just to be with Jack.
- The ending scene where elderly Rose revealed she had that necklace jewellery all this time and then threw it in the ocean. (that part vexed me sha. She should have donated it to a museum if she didn't want to give it to the crew of that modern ship)

Also the sheer grandeur of the ship was brilliant. The movie did a very good job in portraying the sheer size of Titanic and how people lived in those days, especially the 'class' segregation.

In no way can Titanic be called overrated. No, ma’am!!!

Avatar
From what I’ve heard, the basic story of Avatar has been retold too many times and is quite racist.
White people go to a foreign land; invade it for resources; the locals/natives (who are initially welcoming) start to resist & want the white people out; one of the white people becomes enchanted with the natives & their way of life and also becomes resentful to his own white people; a violent climax reaches as the locals fight the whites, as the white traitor helps the locals/natives to defeat the white people; the white traitor then becomes revered by the locals and is fully accepted into their society.
This story is typical and is now very predictable. But like in Titanic, what matters is HOW the story is told and what SETTING it takes place in.

I love science-fiction, and I’m very partial to it. Avatar is an amazing scifi movie
What struck me from Avatar is the brilliant portrayal of futuristic space travel and alien environment. The amount of detail paid to every aspect of biosphere on Pandora was out-of-this-world. It was so real. For days, I couldn’t stop dreaming about living on Pandora.

Fast & Furious
I’ve only watched the last 3 films in this series, and I can understand why they can be called overrated, so I’m not gonna defend it.

My list of popular overrated films are
- Frozen
- The Notebook
- Slumdog Millionaire
- Most of the James Bond movies
- Every single Middle Earth movie (Lord of the rings and Hobbit films. Meh!!!)
- Every single Twilight film (I’ve not watched any & I never will, but I know they’re trash!)
- Scarface
- Birdman
- No Country for Old Men

Cheers

You no dey watch movie with your eyes if u say Scarface is over rated. May be Nigeria version of Scarface u were talking about.

grossintel:
waist of time and resources, I can literally make more than 50k monthly sleeping in my bed, the problem with the graduates of today is they are over dependent on paid employment.

You are a dumb.If government make the system conducive to do business, nobody will rely on govt. If things, is working for you, u think it can work for everyone. Some people have relatives who can assist them financially while some don't have. So what do u expect them to do? If the loose the opportunity of doing npower now, the next thing some join armed robbery and in the future u are rob or kill by those u are discouraging from doing npower. I know I not be there saying that rubbish.

You no get shame at all.Person wey no get shame nah him dey talk like this.If my tribe man commit crime,nothing fit make me support him.A criminal is an enemy of humanity.A criminal man does not consider any factor b4 commiting a crime. Only God knows if he is not caught now,may be nah your family member he go kidnap or kill tomorrow..By that time your eyes go open that no paddy tribe for jungle.

CharlotteFlair:
Useless Yorrobber! You not only kidnap, you kill your victims to make money ritual even after collecting ransom money. Useless zombies!

i want to ask the bank and the police a question. I believe they are hiding some other videos from the public because i know there is not only one cctv camera outside d bank.Where is the video from the other cctv camera covering the entrance area to the banking hall. There should be a camera covering d entrance.
Am i making sense here my people.

My guy u are funny. Observe wetin.To observe weather or u think nah toy gun dey their hand.No talk that thing again oo

Contactibro:
good evening ladies and gentlemen I just want to shad more light on dis story
1.i really commend this policeman courage 2.he is in a very good position to get all the robbers..
3.he should ave observed them first counted how many they were before he engages them from his cover I bet u if he did all dis he will over power dem In a fire fight it's nt all d tym u need much ammo all u need is to think and act in between secs..
that my take from the experience I ave from the NA..

Too much of watching movies is affecting our reasoning on this video. You should all know that acting is totally different from real and live scene.Those that are blaming the cop from coming out of the room,i believe if u are in his shoe,the gun will even drop from ur hand.

The truth is that i have not been to Oweri b4 but the action of d guy that ran after the cop shows it should be a tight corner.Luckily i saw the background picture on the internet to show i was right. See the picture below.

vimi:
IF your live in Owerri, please authenticate your statement with a pictorial evidence. I'm curious to know the outlook of where he ran to since the CCTV didn't capture.

i don stop to dey watch nigeria match long time.i did not even know we get match today,if not i for bet against nigeria.

i don stop to dey watch nigeria match long time.

Like i was trying to convince some people that the cop was on jazz. First if u are on jazz and bullet hit u at a particular place,the bullet will give u serious wound if the shooter is at close range.He was hit at the eyes and the leg as i see here.I discovered d bullet hit him immediately he ran out of the security house not after he ran to hid himself the bank building because it is a tight corner that is why the guy running after him cant get closer.
You can all see the tight corner between the fence and the bank building in the picture below.

The cop ran to a tight angle between d bank building and the fence. That is why the armed robber guy was unable to get to him.

sukkot:
my question is why did he leave the vantage point and cover of that room he was where he had an advantage ? he is brave but he is stupid also. RIP tho. he had the advantage when he was in that room and he had cover but he chose to run out and then got shot.

when he was in that room anyone who walks up to the room is at a disadvantage as you saw when the robber walked up to the room and got shot and killed by him.

Many people that watched the video clip have eyes but can't see.This is my guess,The cop left the security room because he discovered those guys were with jazz and his bullet could not penetrate those guys in the car. It will be dangerous for him to remain there because all the armed robbers could later descend on him so he had to ran out. The cop was so lucky the jazz failed the guy he shot dead.
And for those people saying AK47 riffle is not the right gun for the police. Which kind gun do u want them to use. Do u want them to be using the type they use in Terminator movie. The only thing I saw is the armed robbers had enough magazines attached to their gun.
And if we all assume the cop took a wrong step, let first put ourselves in his shoe and in that kind of situation.
Those customers I saw in that video should give testimony in their church if they watch the video. Especially the gate man and the man that came out first from the security house before the robbers arrived.

Am I the only one here that do not believe the report from the police? So u nairalanders expect the police to bring the mopo into the public to see or to put him on national news so that those remaining armed robbers will trace and kill him.
I believe he is not dead and is been protected and this should be the normal thing to do by the nigerian police. I pray for him wherever he is.
This kind thing normally happen in movies where a top cop will be framed as been dead. All his identity changed and he start living a new live in another location. This is an intelligent process.

From all the females comments I can see they are already experiencing broken marriage and those that are single are already preparing to break there marriage in the future.
Olosho full this country. It no dey show face.

She died a Muslim but buried in Christianity style. Why. They are hiding something from the public.

Rexnegro:
he's a Good player no doubt but messi stats still better his.... google is there so don't quote me stupidly make thunder no fire You o

U said people should not quote you because you yourself know what you typed doesn't have meaning.

BORNTOSUCKPUSSY:
lionel messi still remains a magician.who does impossible things with the ball,ronaldo scores easy tap ins

pls explain what u type because it doesn't have meaning to us.

You guys just like saying what u dont know.Who told u Ronaldo found messi on his way?When did u start watching soccer?Go and read your history.Ronaldo came into football fame before messi and messi just came along the way.Ronaldo have been reining right from the start till this present moment.No footballer never rein for so long period like Ronaldo.Go and check your google and compare.

henrixx:
no. I disagree. I only believe Messi made Ronaldo a better player. Messi was destined for greatness. I remember an article on goal.com years back after that u20 win against Nigeria where the writer boldly claimed that Messi could go on to win the Ballon dor for many years as he's fiercely talented. Everyone who saw him knew it.

But that can't be said of Ronaldo, Ronaldo in his quest to be great found Messi in his way and had to work hard to be the best. U can see it in the way he plays and reacts to media about Messi comparisons

Abeg what does oyibo wants.No be to score goals?Ronaldo was a great football dribbler wen he was in MAN U. He quit dribbling to achieve his aims and he is done with it.Can Messi dribble pass Okocha?and u cant rate Okocha with Messi.

gurunlocker:
Ronaldo only converted himself to just a goal scorer, I am sure he won't be regarded as world best if he plays and have team burden like Messi.

Ronaldo just score, MESSI works, dribble and score. For four years now, you will see Ronaldo doesn't play as a winger again just to score because he believes scoring will earn him the world best award. That doesn't mean he is the best.

Just imagine MESSI doing same, staying inside box and waiting for pass to score, won't that be boring? 0

One thing I like about Ronaldo is the hardwork, nothing more.

Barca fans everywhere

I did not finish from Obafemi Awolowo University but I dey always see and here great Ife.

Illegal duty runs killed him. Only God knows how many innocent people police have dealt with on illegal duty.
The wife have been living on bribery money collected by her husband.
Worst than this have happened to many innocent wives caused by police wickedness.

Who told u is only nteach that are collecting stipend now. Nteach an nagro.

The Igbos called the Yorubas coward and the Igbos have have never tried shit with them in Lagos. Please I beg u all Ibos, try shit with the Yorubas in Lagos and u will all know who owns Lagos.
I believe it is the poor Ibos that are fighting for Biafra. The rich men among u can't join you in this.
Before we say anything they call Yorubas coward. By tomorrow go out and slap a Yoruba an and claim u slap him because Yorubas are coward. You are history already.

Deeldorado:
Hi Bro, China is still a developing country, not a developed country.

Why will u say China is a developing country. Abi u no dey watch satellite news. China is in future since. A complete developed country. I don't need to go into details.

macphilip:
Why is nobody talking about the customer that won 600k
who will pay him now?

If care is not taken, the guy will be planning another suicide.

All I can see is that the words from the vice president is a technical knockout to a certain tribe in Nigeria. That is why we see them lamenting here.
