The post I quoted said Cech is the best ever

Oh I get you now. Sorry

How you snuck in Edward Mendy is funny.

My pick will be Manuel Neuer, Courtois, and Alisson. I would have picked my De Gea over Alisson, but that guy flops consistently for Spain

Passionate888:
was Gianluigi Buffon a joke to you?
Was Peter Schmiechel a joke to you?
Was Edwin van Dersar a joke to you?
Was Dida a joke to you that you'll say Cech is the best ever?

The list comprises of keepers who are still active, not the ancients of days you are listing

This is the new schtick for legacy stars.......... family art and business and I'm loving it

Elizabeth hurley's son directed her in a movie he wrote that had an explicit sex scene and no body double was used (boy may just want to watch his mum get banged)

Ethan and Maya Hawke wrote and starred in their own drama

Sean Penn wrote and directed him and his daughter in flag day

Kate Winslet's son wrote Kate's upcoming directorial debut and Kate recently starred with her daughter in a TV series

Rumor has it Meryl Streep is currently working on her biopic starring her daughter and her son in law Mark Ronson will work on the music

WTF did I just read? What kinda weird family is that?

I'll definitely watch Streep's biopic, anytime, anyday.

And please what's the name of the Series starring Kate and Daughter?

Using your same argument, I am free to disagree with their opinion...

So why is that guy ranting because I said the show is not a masterpiece...?

You disagreeing doesn't stop it from being a masterpiece. I hope you get my point

Baddestguyp:
This is such a sorry take...

It means anyone can watch the dûmbest show and call it a masterpiece...
And no one should argue because it's their "opinion"

Then we can as well close the thread since by your standards, no one can argue about any show...
After all any argument can be dismissed with "my opinion" or "my masterpiece"

In my experience, it's usually those who can't defend their opinion that cower towards that take....

If you call a show good or bad or masterpiece, you should be able to defend that take if challenged and discuss same...

Not running away under the "opinion" shelter...

For example, we've been discussing Superman in the movie thread and everyone has willingly defended their opinion on the movie...

If we go by your standards, all movie/series discussion would become worthless since anyone can simply call any movie "a masterpiece" and it must be respected and not challenged

I can watch Superman 2025 and call it the greatest CBM of all time. And then shut down any conflicting view as it being "my masterpiece"

According to your words, "The Blue Eyed Samurai" is a good show, but can't be termed a masterpiece, because an entire palace was burned down by a small candle, and in your heart, you've given a valid reason for your assertion. I hope you know that there's no movie/series that cannot be nitpicked - None. I hope you are aware that while some movies/animations are celebrated for their overall groundbreaking achievements, masterpieces can be subjective

Daniel Day-Lewis is back from 8 years retirement. I'm so seated!! 😭🥹

Directed by his son, written by he and his son. Why would he not return

Baddestguyp:
Whenever they can't defend their claim, the next step is to use my love for AOT to attack me.

The clôwns and their agenda

It's not the first time...
The only reason they didn't say the same for my Superman posts was because they agreed with me on that...

If not, na "you don't like the Superman movie because it's not Attack on Titan" or "You only praise Attack on Titan" or some other generic trash comment

Lol
Agenda indeed.
It's wise to know about a moniker before you start making claims. I've made it clear here that I stopped watching animations/animes a long time ago, so clearly, I have no idea what that series is about, but you are not the authority on what can or cannot be called a masterpiece.

Baddestguyp:
Lol...
Funny how I've termed several shows "masterpiece" but sure, let your agenda flow...

I'm pretty sure I called "Mr Robot" a masterpiece for instance...

Blue Eye Samurai is good...
But masterpiece is a great stretch...you know it

I watched that same series (The Robot), you called a masterpiece, and couldn't go beyond the first 5 episodes. I didn't call you out for it, even though I watched it because of your review. It was your masterpiece, so I had no right to dispute that. Why not let him enjoy his own masterpiece in peace

oyaskii:
Going by your handle and your past antecedents here viz à viz your fierce defence of the DC lore, this is a brave review, it takes gut and I applaud you for it. it totally encapsulates my feelings the movie in as much as i wanted it to be all round good.

This is hoping everyone on both divides take a cue. No lore is perfect, no filmmaker is perfect, especially whilst adapting an all timer comic character like the Supes with a rich history of cannon to choose from, things could easily go wrong or right. No need to stand in defiance and just overlook obvious flaws, just to prove that you love the lore so much and anything they drop is flawless... Hey, we might still have the darkie Snyderverse today, if audience just lapped it up, so criticism this "Superman" is getting, is for James Gunn to do better next time, if he really wants a successful universe...


I still think 7/10 is a tad too much 😬, but hey, at least you can now see the light

The criticism for this movie is coming from only a fraction of the audience/critics. Critics have already given him an approval to double-down on what he did with this movie. I was hoping this movie will kickstart something great for the DCU, but this point, I'm as excited as a sloth

Baddestguyp:
Calling Blue Eye Samurai a masterpiece is a stretch...
A big stretch...

Isn't this the same show where a lit candle was on the floor, and fell during a battle. Which caused a fire that burnt down an entire palace?

Nevertheless, it's a really good show

I guess, if it's not titled "Attack on Titan", then it can't be a masterpiece

Nickshrapnel:
I kinda liked Dead Reckoning better.

I prefer this one, while Fallout would be my favourite in the franchise, closely followed by Rogue Nation

pu7pl3:
Mission Impossible: the final reckoning - 8/10

If you're a fan of this franchise this was a really good way to say good-bye.

I wonder why this movie didn't gross more

The duration probably kept people away. I personally enjoyed the movie...a lot, but I had to pause several times.

Hohenheim:
Not even close Man of Steel's main plot works against the narrative it throughout the movie it also ignored almost every main Superman character trait.

I'm not praising Man of Steel's plot, but whatever its shortcomings, it was still better than this Superman. This is me shamefully admitting it

Hohenheim:
I actually like Man of Steel but people are now doing revisionist history acting like it's some masterpiece. It's a visual masterpiece but story wise it's not all that.

Storywise, Superman 2025 is worse

BlackManta:
Tom Cruise dey craze

This movie had no business being in cinemas for over three months.

Leave am, make e de form cinema purist.

Finally

CHE 0 - 3 CRY correct score. Stake both of your kidneys.

Superman 2025
I've never really enjoyed anything from Gunn, apart from the first Guardians of the Galaxy. I was expecting Superman to change that, but unfortunately, it didn't.
This is 6/10 for me

pu7pl3:
And you warned him oh

No more free advice from me again

abduleez1:
Yeah, I been don download am already.
As I see say na just 1.5hrs long, e easy to digest am sharpaly. I think say e no go dey that mid.

As I dey type review the film just dey vex me the more. 😅😅

Normally if movie no deliver within 30mins, I de dump am. But I watch this one bumper to bumper till the end, hoping for the spectacle wey critics promise.
E reach to vex

pu7pl3:
Omo you go sabi keep malice oh

😀😀
I been don forget the matter o, until see review.

abduleez1:
My brother no vex..... I think say all people wey dey interested in this movie don watch am already.

Even me sef before I watch am person don talk say no be wetin dem expect....

You fit still go ahead if you really want watch am....you go get the gist of wetin I dey talk. Even me wey dey spoil the film for back then, I still dey expect magic as I dey watch or slight variations.

The movie still has enough to intrigue you as it subverts your expectations.

But shey no be you spoil am that time?? 🤔😅

You been accuse me of spoiling. And I remember telling you to skip it

abduleez1:
Warfare (2025)......6/10

This goes into the list of one of the most hyped up films of 2025. With all the rave earlier this year, I could barely see what the shouts was all about.
Well, it's Americans, so they'll probably hype up their "heroes".

I know this is an adaptation of a real life story and no disrespect to the veterans who partook in this operation.....but mahn!! This is probably the weakest and most passive Special Operations Force I've ever seen on film history.

They just sat in the house despite all the info and intelligence and knowing the positions and intentions of it's assailants — they did NOTHING!!
They just stood there watching, endlessly calling for backup and extraction without dealing with the tërr0r!sts themselves.

What was all the gear and manpower for? They had good numbers of soldiers, all very well equipped, yet barely did shït and wait for help from other fighting units that were already dealing with their own waves of tërr0r!sts and still make their way through those dangers to save their blushes.
Even more infuriating when you know they're actually Navy SEALS.
Just shitty decisions left, right, centre from their commanding officer. 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

There was no steeze and chutzpah as I've come to expect of this particular genre. The fights were very dull.

Nice cautionary tale tho as to why armoured columns without infantry to support is always a recipe for disaster. You can sit in your armoured fighting vehicle or tanks and thinking you're safe from bullets, IEDs and RPGs but you never know....an ATGM could just take you out.

The props I'll give it is it's depiction of how stress, anxiety and trauma affects soldiers performances nonetheless and they're all not invincible despite costly trainings— they're humans after all.

This film no sweet me Shi Shi.

If my spoiler de crawl, your own de rocket, de go moon

LordAdam16:
Only + about Smoke is the cinematography.

Someone needs to arrest the showrunners for that crime of a finale.

-Lord

Sorry.
I stopped after the 3rd episode

Xavier5:
Bro the thing dey funny like hell. But the question is, when have Snyderbots ever being logically coherent and consistent 😂. They think their bubble world is reality... 😂

Imagine comparing MoS which had favourable conditions, no comic book competitions, and four months in theater, and still ended grossing $668M, to Superman that had unfavorable conditions, comic book competition from F4, and just 35 days in cinema. Between both movies, which one should naturally gross higher? But despite that, Superman still outperform MoS in multiple areas 😂. They should better thank F4 for negatively affecting Superman worldwide gross 😂

Imagine if Iron Man 3 was released two weeks after MoS... and imagine if F4 was released six weeks before or after Superman as was with the case of Iron Man 3 and The Wolverine respectively with MoS... 😂

Snyderbots don't know that if Superman is a flop, MoS is a flop, and if MoS is a success due to breaking even and making profits, Superman is a success. I wonder how they will deal with this dilemma 😂



#Xavier

Superman also had Jurassic World to contend with. Though, not a CBM, it is still a big movie, and was released just a week before Superman

Seunfretty:
Inter.... Liverpool and city coaches will be knocking their heads right now for not pressing this PSG aggressively on their half when they played...this is a real testament that no team is without weakness ...all you need do is look well then u will see ...Chelsea opened PSG weakness up and Tottenham is now copying from that book


Another issue is the pessimism that comes with a loss....since PSG lost that game against Chelsea I knew they would likely loose again. And again

There is a particular aura and swagger that comes to with winning continuously in football ...and i can say that's what has been pushing and rubbing on this PSG team ...it's wasn't like they were sooo spectacular..

PSG lost to Botafogo (Brazil) in the Club World Cup. It was Bayern and Madrid that made it look like they were Invincible.

That's the beauty of war


No guts

No gain .

There's no beauty in war. Those who initiate it, don't suffer the losses.
While soldiers are dying, and civilian are getting displaced, Zelensky and Putin are unaffected

lightwind:
Hmmm USA 430 different languages spoken in that country. How come I thought it was only English language ?

My chest oooo my chest oooo my chest oooo

Chinkos, Latinos, Italians, Irish, Choktaw, Hebrew etc. They have tribes from different nations who nationalised in the US

You are right but.
The same way a new car doesn't guarantee safe travels, I'll always pick a new car over fairly used any time, any day

Polar bears are the worst, they are the only bears that hunt humans. Maybe due to the fact that they are always hungry, they eat any living thing.

Once a Polar Bear spots anything with flesh, dinner is served
