You didn't guess the outcome? Come on I thought it was pretty obvious. Like it would have been really gloom if the movie ended on that very sad note without the movie reaching its climax. Beside, if first name Mister and last name Glass superpower is his mind, then he should have known who that psychiatrist really is.

To me, first name Mister and last name Glass stole the show. He's the hero, the villain and even the antihero, he made everything about him. He started it all and ended it all, it was all his endgame. Men Mr Glass is classic.

The only thing I find irritating in the movie was the appearance of Night Sakamanje. Like WTF, is he trying to pull a Stan Lee on us?

Absolutely no reason for Hellboy to have a reboot..only the first movie in the franchise was actually above par, The Golden army was also watchable, they should have rested and front other stories but no, is 2019, let's reprise Hellboy! , Heck this movie was 9% on RT when it premiered, is at 12% which is been generous tbh....reminds me of when marvel deem it fit to make a Ghost rider sequel... Disaster.

Skeleton Key

Horror and mystery. Edge of the seat stuff. One of the most shocking endings I've seen in a while. This is how horror should be done. Highly recommend.

8/10

Very comical and enjoyable

You really need to fvck off my mentions. Seriously. When I made my comment I didn't mention any username, so I will not dignify any comment not directly addressed to me. I don't have any time or inclination to humour pettiness. Ain't nobody got time for bullshit.

My post still stands- chat if you want to, but know where to draw the fvcking line because not everyone is here for endless idle chitchat.

Direct your pity to your kinfolks who have to cope with your rubbish day in, day out. They are the real MVPs.

Like I said, reserve history lessons for another thread. Daily folks have to wade through tons and tons of off topic discussions before we can even see one single movie recommendation. Enough already! Discuss if you want to, but know where to draw the line

Y'all should save your history lessons for another thread. This is a movie thread

nengibo:
these are half truths

coolscott:
Jaja of Opoba was an Igbo man
sold into slavery to the people of Bonny.
Spared from being sold to the land of no return (to the white man)
and kept to work in the house of one of his Bonny buyers.

Set free after sometime, according to Bonny custom
in a ceremony which including the public shaving of the head
by the oldest married woman in the family.

Free slaves were allowed every right to grow as anybody else in Bonny custom

He was intelligent and grew very strong in business and influence.

He wanted to be the new Jumbo House chief.

He was reminded he came into the kingdom as a slave.

He refused to back down.

A ware ensued (he chose to fight, he was rich).

He lost the war and could not come back to the kingdom
(wars in the region were fought in war boats).

Having done business in the area (as influential Bonny men did)
he had a relationship with the Andoni rulers.

He and those that were on his side in the just lost war, met the Andoni ruler,
who carved out the large territory for him and his people, on which he, Jaja,
would start and establish his dynasty and kingdom.

And thus was the birth of Opobo land and the Opobo people, with their pioneering king,
King Jaja, of Opobo.

Although Opobos know their history and that it can be traced back to Igbo land,
they are more proud of the new identity they created for themselves, most of which
is borrowed from the Ijaw people of Bonny (called Ibanis) who had them (i.e their forefathers)
as slaves, set them free, and in whose land they were allowed to live and thrive as Ibanis (Bonny people).

When a slave was freed, he was given a new name and denounced wherever he came from,
pledging allegiance to the Bonny kingdom and the family into which he was bought as a slave.

People from what is today known as Akwa Ibom state where also sold to the slave merchants
in Bonny as slaves.


In Opobo today, they maintain the system of families dominant in Bonny social and society structure.

They also maintain a mornarchy system (what they experienced in Bonny, as opposed to haphazard chieftaincy titles predominant in Igbo land).

They speak a twist of Igbo and Ibani (the version of Ijaw native to and spoken by the Bonny people)
but there has been a recent organized effort by them re-establish Ibani as their main dialect.

The story of the emergence of Opobo is one very interesting piece of Niger Deltan history,
the books that cover which, children should read at an early age.

I read a book (and encylopaedia writings) about this at an early age,
and am happy for the knowledge it gave me and the role it plays in helping
a young boy have a better sense of direct African history.

By the way, King Jaja of Opobo died in exile as he was sent on exile
by the British on account of his stubbornness and unwillingness to give in to
their desire to take over his Kingdom
(just as they exiled a Bonny king and many other rulers across West Africa).

If I remember right, King Jaja died on his way back from exile.

If I remember correctly (and I think I do) he didn't made it back home.

Is this true?

Oyaskiii:
True that...There's no way the Shazam story would have been told without the humour and comedy.. Anyone going to the cinema to see "Someone half all life in the Universe without remorse" has got the wrong movie, the character development of shazam has been centred around light heartedness and humour.

Ps..Particularly Disliked Thor Ragnarok because of the comedy, because it was minimal in the character development....malekith didn't wield the aether to plunge the whole world into darkness for all that comedy and colours in Ragnarok
