Avengers Endgame...wow,
This was a proper superhero movie, like it had all the emotions, Joy, Laughter, Pain and of course Tears, There were scenes when the whole cinema just stood up cheered (one scene made us cheer for like 5 minutes straight ) I doff my " proverbial" hat for Marvel and the Russo brothers and all the characters, their performance and delivery was top notch and they couldn't have cast them better like i can't picture anybody playing Tony stark other than RDJ or anybody worthy to wield that gauntlet other than Josh Brolin lol. This movie was so well written like if you are just seeing this as a first marvel movie, you will feel connected to all the stories before without individually seeing others before it, that's how good the writing was. I was just in awe, that i wanted to buy another ticket for the next showing, but was sold out for the day, but i think i am seeing this again.
Pay intricate attention to the movie ( especially dialogues) and brush up your marvel comic/ movie knowledge so that some scene won't look strange to you..
Finally in the words of Thanos.."You couldn't live with your failure"...Thanos is the villain other villains aspire to be, i mean this guy wasn't all just brawl but brain as well, with some witty sayings to go...a hell of a character that can't be forgotten for a long time to come (The guy besides me was rooting for Thanos actually lol )

So my Rating is 8.5/10..could have be 9 or even 10 but the movie had a shortcoming (personal view) that i can't disclose now because it will constitute as spoilers...

If you started this MCU journey from the very beginning, then you will be satisfied with Endgame and you won't forget it for a long long time # Whatever it takes


Ps: it's easily a $2b grossing movie, but lets wait and see.

It is Shite....


But we have Seen 5 seasons, no point In abandoning it.... By the time the show became garbage we were already in too deep... No point in abandoning the show after seeing 5 Seasons

My current struggle with Arrow...already in too deep at season 7 but the poo they serve me on weekly basis now ehn, i am now begging them to just end the series abruptly.

Dark fans gather here .

Hyped for thissssss... This was the best thing on Netflix in 2017.

Lupita Nyongo -Us
4/10

lol The same "us" by Jordan peele...That movie is 7.4/10 on imdb and 94% on RT....wow.

nani6666:
Episode 2...

HDTV is the worst encode to download for anything be it Movies or series, Cuz it's a rip from TV source as the show it's airing and Quality is questionable to say the least, You can get 1080p 10bit webrip or webdl for this episode 2 for far less data with 100% better quality.

Dropping these "gems" on the thread like a carless jeweller lol .. i saw movies from a period spanning mid 2016 to late 2018, they were worthy of note so i just archived them.. Most of them are "indie" and the year of release and genre are mixed. These are the first set, more to come when i have the strength to compile lol ..Enjoy these first.

O Brother, Where art thou - 8/10

An arrogant fool

My favorite George clooney movie.

The only movie i've seen at least 5 times.

Lmao...Rating on point...This movie is funny as hell, loosely based on odyssey but sure to get laughs out of you. Favourite quote from the movie
Everett: What'd the devil give you for your soul, Tommy?

Tommy: Well, he taught me to play this here guitar real good.

Delmar: Oh son, for that you sold your everlasting soul?

Tommy: Well, I wasn't usin' it.

Lol, my first thought exactly when I saw the movie for the first time, but what you have to understand is that Donnie Darko was a pretentious "art" movie with an astonishing plot so nebulous as to allow anyone who willingly put in the effort, to derive any meaning they wish. It was an avant garde art flick in the truest sense. As in, it delivers some philosophical statement about the beauty and cruelty of life all wrapped in an alternate timeline.....After reading its interpretation online, i came up with at least 2 of my own theories of what really transpired in that movie, truly, that flick was an undiluted work of art, my advice, try & see the Director's Cut, It's a completely different movie....I think oyaskii will agree with what I've written above.

Spot on you are sir.. The Directors cut actually brought the movie in a clearer light, first time i saw it, i didn't understand jack, took 3 re watch and numerous explanations online including one by the director... The movie is a masterpiece but with astronomical levels of mind binding.

DONNIE DARKO...8/10
GENRE: Drama, Sci-Fi, Thriller

One fascinating thing about this movie was that, i really don't know if i was confused or not & at the same time, i only understood 20% out of 100% of the whole plot even after seeing the movie back to back for 2 consecutive times, if not for thisisbarry dot com who gave a detailed analysis & explanation of the plot, i would have just stuck to the literal meaning.

A brilliant movie, confusing at times, just like Requiem for a dream, but ultimately delivered the goods. Fully Convinced any movie Jake Gyllenhaal has a leading role is 90% sure to be good..Top tier actor.

I don't really get the movie. What actually is it all about?

see the prequels.

introvertme:
I really enjoyed fleabag, it has this mistresses vibe with a comic bit to it.

it's so original.. Sadly this is the last season.

Unicorn Store.

Ridiculously poor rating on this, That's why i stayed clear... How was it?

KoiceReloaded:
I can't believe that some people are actually equating the forgettable Affleck's Batman to legendary Bale's Dark Knight, and worse, picking Affleck's over Bale's. Now, I have seen it all.

Please, watch this YouTube video. It is done by WatchMojo.com, YouTube's number one movie review channel.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xzW82ewq6A

If you're still in doubt, kindly peep into this LINK to see where both ranked in history.

Like someone said in the YouTube comment section, Affleck may be Batman, but Christian Bale is THE DARK KNIGHT. Both are incomparable. Bale's Batman is by far the best Batman I've seen onscreen. It's not even a contest.

Ironically Saw the TDK yester night and what a beautiful superhero movie...well crafted and Christian Bale embodies what it means to be "Batman"...apart from not owing the role, Ben Affleck was also a victim of an insipid CGI inspired Batman (Especially in Dawn of Justice, which remains one of the worst mainstream superhero movie i have seen)...Any future Batman plot involving B.Affleck should be discarded, and leave Zack snyder out of this ( This man and dark, less humour narrative are one, doesn't mean i don't want to see his future project tho, not just in DCEU)

Actually here for DC and Marvel wins this year....great things to come.

RE: The Joker movie...my only fear is that since Batman won't be in the movie and knowing fully well The Joker character is a Villian in DCEU...so in this movie he's he going to be an antagonist or protagonist? Or it will just be an origin story.

troubleseller:
It's here. To tell the truth, I'm actually scared of this iteration. I'm beginning to think Joaquin Phoenix has delved too deep for this role. Hope it doesn't affect his mental health sha.

My fear.. The role takes a huge toll..been sociopath and been comical about it, look what the role did to Heath Ledger.

Pumped up for the Joker movie, Joaquin Phoenix my man, not that nonsense jared Leto served us in suicide squad.

Butterfly Effect = mind Bleep with flipping time travel

Thanks man.

KoiceReloaded:
It will make you sad, but will also make you piss your drawers. It's a poignant satire. It's a masterpiece.

mekaprime:
Very good bro, maximum laughs guaranteed, provided you love movies that involves use of body gestures alone.

Thanks guys, this movie has a huge cult following but i was skeptical because of the Era it was set.

How good is Charlie Chaplin's City Lights?
