Oh the Steven Seagal flick from way back? My memory is foggy on it...but will get on it.

Calibrator:

You should be prosecuted for the oversight

Casually just assumed, like everybody that loves movie, would have seen that all timer, by now 😩🤭

tobore4u:

"From You, 2000 Years Ago"


"Who are you"

Special... Special episodes.... Special Special shows 💥🌟

Illusioneffect:
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

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.

tobore4u:
Caddo lake 9.5/10...Great story line

Good movie, but 9.5 is quite high o. A similar plot to "Dark" , so the whole thing looked like a cheap rip off... but there was some strong acting in there and good twists.

GloriousGbola:
Good times

maybe i will finally push myself to watch a movie in 2025

That 4K PSA print seems tempting but i don't know if the movie is worth the hassle.

Palehair:
Get off your high horse, we live in a capitalistic society and Hollywood is no exception, everything in the industry is a money grabbing scheme........ it's literally called the movie business

Also, there are fans of the books that hated the movies like me, I stopped at the fourth movie because of how it butchered a lot of characters due to them having no time to develop them. I don't have faith in this one though because the creator said they didn't read the books but fingers crossed

"You don't have faith in this one as the creator has said they didn't read the books as you have said but i should get off my high horse because i called it an obvious money grabbing scheme which your 2nd paragraph has alluded to? maaannn 🤦🏿‍♂️.


A capitalistic world now, but it doesn't mean there aren't those of us, who remember how good we used to have it. A business is typically an exchange of quality product/services in exchange for profit, but it seems this movie execs are only interested in the later, and there are people like you, ready to just lap it up.

Well my fingers aren't crossed for anything, as i can totally smell the BS, but good for you, that yours is crossed tho, and by all means, have at it 👍🏿

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.

8 years ke?? So basically, this is the movie, just retold for modern audiences??! cuz am still failing to see the point of this show.

The movie more than did justice to the source material imo.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, this all looks like a money grabbing scheme without care for quality or substance 🤷🏿‍♂️

pu7pl3:
I like how ruthless you tend to get when you didn't enjoy something bro. Keep it up.

light work bro, fuelled by seething hate for rubbish media ✌🏿

Holav:
Just finished watching PARADISE complete season 1,
The series is not all that, I saw so many people here recommending it here so then i think I should check it out..

The storyline and script of the series is not that fascinating as people here said,

Me watching the series then thinking in my mind that have seen something similar to this storyline before.

"World ending the billionaire built bunker they want to control the people, then someone will try to stop them "have seen this type of particular shit countless time.

dis series is even similar to the fallout, even similar to resident evil. if you are the person that usually watch TV series or movie you will get what am trying to say about the series storyline.

Hollywood should try am be creative about dere script again.
this particular storyline is always being repeated too much.

So my rating 6/10😖

*4/10. The is show was gutter quality.

The first few episodes were ok, but they just veered off, and started mixing plots from other shows and movies diluted with unwanted melodrama with the hopes of getting a S2...and they even tried a last minute hail mary shock value, with one nonsense reveal by the end, but i wasn't moved, as i had already caught on to their BS by then.

Proper dustbin show 🗑️

abduleez1:
I saw this news the other day and I was laughing, with all the shout and talk about how Amazon has greenlit up to 5 seasons before S1 even premiered.

I remember we had arguments here about viewership numbers and audience reception. People were claiming they're committed to 5 seasons because some executive mentioned that shït on paper.

With this move.... it's not looking even good for Rings of Power with the amount of money they've spent and the continued drop in viewership numbers.
So that one might be cancelled anytime soon after S3 premieres and isn't a hit.

It's a shame I already downloaded some episodes and about watching the S3. I'd watch it nonetheless and see the growth with the production team.

Ultimately the viewership of S3 was far below the cost of financing the show and Prime Video simply wasn't having it anymore.

Fantasy shows are always touch and go, because of the sheer cost, VFX, locations, props and all that goes into making them, the show has to prove it is worth it, and prove it fast!, unfortunately, WOT ran out of time.

Every studio has been chasing their next "GOT" without success. It is so hard replicating it, due to the huge financial obligation involved, and these execs are basically just throwing huge amounts of money into fantasy projects and rolling the dice. Funny enough, even "the great GOT", was one time considered "high financial risk", by HBO, immediately after 51, before it's popularity just blew off, and they just rode on the wave and had a massive payday, even that, they started making some cost saving decisions as the seasons rolled by, like topping off the Direwolves, cuz they simply couldn't manage the budget of animating them and the dragons at the same time.

Point is, Fantasy shows takes alot of effort to make, and the show has to justify that effort a million fold. WOT even tried sef, getting S3. As you pointed out, ROP might likely face the same faith. ⌛

joseph1832:
So I take it there are no LightSaber duels? 🤔

For which, Andor or Rogue One? and No, not really.

Andor focused mainly on politics, espionage and the ground formation of the Rebellion alliance and deliberately avoided the Jedi/Sith plot lines, which would have necessitated a light saber duel

However in Rogue One (2016) , Darth Vader did briefly ignite his light saber in one hallway scene, and i wouldn't particularly call that a duel, Bro simply just massacred every one on site 😩.

Both Andor and Rogue One, tho recent, serves as a prequel to the first film, A New Hope (1977), Rogue One Ends, Days before the Rebel Alliance hands, Princess Leia, the designs to the Death Star, which begins "A New Hope"
(1977).

TemporaryHansel:
Andor absolutely deserves a third season. The way they wrapped it up felt rushed, anticlimactic, and emotionally flat - like they were just trying to meet a deadline rather than give the story the ending it earned.
Honestly, one more season isn’t even enough. The plot had so much potential, and they fumbled it right when it mattered most.
It’s a slow burn, sure - but one that builds into a legit masterpiece. A show like that deserves space to breathe, not an abrupt send-off.

It's a prequel, and days after the end of this S2, the events of "Rogue One" (A Star Wars Story) (2016), began, with the character developments and plot continuation , that the show had already established, so logically, there can't be a S3, as the faith of Cassian Andor was even sealed, after "Rogue One".


Sometimes and most importantly, as i have come to find out, shows that have completed their short intended stint, and just end, are most often than not, worthwhile, it's the ones that they keep elongating for no logic reason, that becomes terrible.

abduleez1:
I also knew it'd come out around that time that's why I hit the brakes when I haven't watched it in the first 3 weeks.

For bigger movies like SUPERMAN, that one na at least two and a half months.

They did the 45 days VOD release thingy with "DUNE Part 2" last year, and it was arguably their biggest release of 2024.

Superman (2025) might follow suite 🤭

The Pitt S1 (2025).


A Cacophony of Suffering and Solace

I wasn’t immediately sold on this, I thought it would be the usual trope of medical dramas: different cases per episode, with some interwoven outside drama involving the medical staff. But this one came with a twist, it focused solely on patient care and the ensuing emotional toll on the medical staff.

At the heart is Dr. Robby, portrayed spectacularly by Noah Wyle. A veteran doctor haunted by past struggles that often plague medics. His performance was so good, striking a delicate balance between emotional detachment and personal vulnerability.

The series distances itself from others in the genre through its auditory choices. There’s basically no score, no sombre music, only the beeping of monitors and the hurried footsteps of medical staff racing from bed to bed, trying to save lives. It was shot in a near single-shot style, with each of the 15 episodes representing one high-octane hour in the emergency room. All of this added to the immersive experience and realism of the show.

Maann, I don’t envy doctors and other medics o. They have one of the toughest jobs on earth. They’re literally one good decision away from saving a life or one bad one from losing it. How do they even sleep? That’s why I wholly detest how they’re treated in this country.

This is not a comfort show, it’s as real as it gets. And I loved it. HBO MAX (or whatever they’re called these days 🤭) totally cooked with this one!

8/10

WB and their impeccable 45 days release VOD release window<<<< 💪🏿💪🏿✌🏿....I knew they were never gatekeeping this for long 😩😩

abduleez1:
Okay....they cooked with this trailer.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smavD1fopZ8?si=UPxxaxs43n2Tkeri

I can't explain it, but this trailer doesn't even reveal anything new or groundbreaking that we haven't seen in the universe before but it still has this insane aura of a mega blockbuster fgs.

Naah, they got me...i am so so seated! 😩😩

Andor S2 (2025).

"Welcome to the Rebellion!."

So many good things have been said about this show lately, and honestly, it’s still not enough to capture just how great it is.

Set in its own little bubble within the StarWars universe far from the glow of lightsabers, the Skywalker family drama, the Jedi Order, and the mystery of the "Force", the oppressive weight of the Empire still looms large. S2 picks up right where S1 left off, following Cassian Andor further down the path of rebellion, with even more emotional consequences and psychological toll.

I found it difficult to recommend S1 cuz i thought it was such a niche show, but seeing S2, anyone could totally sse this, even if you aren't even vested in the StarWars lore. It's a brutal slow burn, but as the episodes go, the pieces begin to make sense, and it reels you in, in the most magical way!.

To think this all started as a spin-off of a spin-off, yet this season cements Andor as one of the finest pieces of lore in the entire Star Wars franchise. This is what Zack Snyder was going for with "Rebel Moon", albeit with gutter writing, it just goes to show, how good writing can elevate a show, i mean they had Beau Willimon in that writers room!

For me, this is the best thing to come out of Lucasfilm’s dance with Disney. It even topples Mando at this point, imo. I’m not even sad it’s ending, I never expected we’d get a second season to begin with. It’s a perfect place to end, and I’m just grateful this show exists.

Special.. Special...Show✨ ✨

9/10

Chibudollar:
LMAO. I just remembered why I left this thread. Small 2 minutes stroll on here BOOM. Major spoiler. Worst part is that no warning whatsoever. Them go just drop am like he goat.

This is 100% rage bait. There haven't been any major releases in the last 2 months on so, that has required constant discussions here that will constitute as spoilers, except for TLOU S2 which is episode by episode release, and it is fairly on brand for people to talk about each new episode per week.

Plus the "Spoiler warning thing" here is simply a courtesy, you can't actually police people not to talk about shows they use their data and time to see and like, on here, especially not with the kind of tone you are using.

If spoilers get your feelings hurt, you might as well just crawl back and hibernate, cuz absolutely nobody owes you shît...

armadeo:
Season 3 just watch the siren episode. That's the one I liked and one other. The rest meh.

Don't worry yourself chief...i have given up on it.

The idea, rave and aesthetics about the show is far better than the show itself. The anthology style + different animation style for different episodes was a potential all timer combo, but somehow they just got it wrong.

joseph1832:
I watched the first episode of volume 4 the one with Red Hot Chilli Peppers, and I honestly couldn't place my head around why it was even made.

This tanked after S1....No? cuz i tried seeing S2, and i could barely scrape 3 really good episodes out of the entire thing, so i didn't bother with S3. Good animation style and all, but the writing is so weak.

pu7pl3:
It will hit 1bn
And it will have a cult following afterwards.

A little bit over optimistic but okay, let's see how it goes.

DieRich5:
the only Superman movies that hit 800M mark is because everyone wants to see Batman beat Superman even Justice League with that hype didn’t do justice

Only one DCU movie has hit 1bn, in the entire time the franchise has been on (or off), so they don't really hold a lot of trust among movie goers, because of how they have let them down before, but this new supes holds promise based on the sheer popularity of the character, and it been marketed as the one to herald, a supposedly good era for the franchise going forward.

But too many dynamics going into these things these days hence it is very difficult for me, to boldly predict, "so, so and so movie will make 1 bill".

Chief among these dynamic, is that, people really aren't just "excited" about movies like that anymore...compared to say, like 10 years ago.

DieRich5:
Superman Trailer looks good and dark but hyping it based on trailer this days….that I won’t do
it’s will be hard for the movie to cross or hit 1B mark when this movies are also airing same month:

Smurfs
Jurassic World Rebirth
The Fantastic Four: First Steps
The Old Guard 2

The Old Guard 2 is not a theatrical release but i totally get your point. A very tough ask for a movie to make a bill these days, harder still, when it has to compete with a heavy bo return magnet like Jurassic World: Rebirth, which is the only realistic competitor going by the list you have up there.

Infact, only 4 movies have cross 1bill since 2024 till date and only 2 movies, has crossed 800m this year even..so tough... tough ask imo.

BlackManta:
What in the name of fooling is this

From HBO Max to Max and back to HBO Max again

What are they smoking over there at Warner Bros

Confusion upon Confusionist 🤦🏿‍♂️.

The merger with Discovery, made them rebrand to "Max" before from "HBO Max", but they found out quickly, that it was the HBO imprint which is synonymous with "quality" that made people fvck with Max in the first place, and they quickly reverted back fgs.

phr0nesis:
I remember in one of my posts, were I mentioned "p!mp", only to find out later that NL changed it to "love vendor"

That last year outage really did a number on them, even FB isn't this ruthless with NSFW words or materials.
