e no mean it’s still a nollywood production

GloriousGbola:


Hails yeah!

I loved the first movie.

oyaskii:
There's nothing like getting someone with actual love for the art or job he or she is been employed to do.

James Gunn might be a DC Masterstroke. Best decision they have made in years putting him at the helm.

Actually excited with this new direction and DCU finally, would have a clear path and not just a jumpstart preceding every project.

abduleez1:


True.
His acknowledgement of the fanbase inspired some huge confidence that he's gonna listen to the fans and consider their feelings. Unlike the previous regime that were pretty comfortable staying in the shadows and not bothering whether things goes to shït or not.

I'm glad he's moving forward with the plan of the previous regime as well as tweaking what needs to be done.

The noisemaker fans still no gree. They saw it as a challenge to their god.

oyaskii:
I swear... previous regime just wanted the next "$1Bn" DCU project to rival MCU earnings at the BO without a clear path or defined plan, whilst not carrying the fans along who have made this comics a hit over the years and clearly to some degree had great ideas how their comic book heroes should be represented on live motion.


Imagine misguided DC fans doubting James Gunn's appointment . This man had one of the best movies in the MCU with GOTG till date..Good Lord!

They should cry more tbh...James Gunn is ready to cook!

Choose your 7 Justice League members for the next movie.

Me: The original roster as it should be

Batman
Superman
Wonder Woman
Flash
Aquaman
Green Lantern
Martian Manhunter

Honourable mentions to interchange with GL and MM since they ain't yet established:
Hawkman & Dr Fate or Shazam.

Barbarian..... 7.5/10

Good horror movie but not decent enough backstory was given to the villain. Solid work nonetheless.

Carot:
You sound like a DC fanatic

IbrahimMav:


The film has three villains, AJ, Frank and the deformed woman.
They all have backstories....sort of.

AJ is an actor who was fired from his sitcom project for raping a colleague,
Frank and the deformed woman have a common backstory.
The deformed woman was a product of incest as was explained in a quick exposition.

It was so cleverly done that if you weren't paying attention, you'd miss it.
A man was shown coming out of a house in a suburb, shopping for baby things, then he was shown stalking a woman, then finally entering a room in his house with screams coming from that room.
What I was able to grab from this little exposition and other tidbits scattered across the film is this guy Frank kidnaps these women, then systemically rapes and impregnates them, then rapes and impregnates the products of the rape, and all the while, keeping them imprisoned (in cages), and documenting everything with a video camera

It's all kinds of fuccked up.

abduleez1:


Yea, I knew and understood all that but I still found the backstory for the main villain — the deformed woman a lil bit weird. I don't find it naturally flowing so well with the story. Especially, the old man backstory. What was his motivation for doing it, especially over decades, systematically creating what became of the woman.

You'd see if you try to understand Frank's arc, it tends to get shaky. The deformed woman's story was done well tho, her connection with wanting a baby of her own and growing familial relationship with Tess.
I wasn't satisfied with Frank's backstory, and seeing he's the catalyst of things in the movie.... Main reason why I say I find the backstory shaky.
What caused the decline in the small town that got people fleeing? How come he perpetrated that shït for years and people didn't come to know about it or when they knew didn't care much?
How did the BnB lodging company keep recommending the place to people? How don't they know people actually lodged there in that timeframe Bill Skarsgard character and Tess were there?

I'll just leave it at that. It's good but if you poke through its minute details, it tends to beg more questions.

I think the next justice League will have more than 7 members.

IbrahimMav:


The film is self aware and if there is any plot hole, it's deliberate.
In horror films, plot holes are utilized as plot device.
Without a plot device, the plot cannot be advanced, and if the plot cannot be advanced, there will be no story to tell.
All the things you pointed out are not really problematic to the story.

Motivations?
Serial killers have urges that they must satisfy and killing people gets their rocks off.
The same can be said of Frank.
He's a sicko who has urges, so he does the evil things he does to keep his dark passenger appeased.

Shaky background? How?
We know Frank is a serial killer who kidnaps, rapes and kills women.
What more do you want?
This is horror-comedy not mystery or drama where character development is integral.
If you expect a half hour exposition dedicated to Frank's childhood and upbringing, you watched the wrong genre.

People didn't flee the neighborhood, it was a gradual exodus until there was no one left, hence, the neighborhood became a sort of ghost town.
There are number of things that might have caused this exodus, but since they ain't important to the plot, they weren't discussed.
Like I said, it's horror, not mystery or drama.

As for the lodging firm renting the same house to two people, it's just a clerical error.
It happens sometimes.
