tell me you didn't understand the movie without saying it...

Tyler didn't do it for money. It was a favour to his ex I believe... (Can't really remember)

The man was abusing his wife and even his son knew it but turned a blind eye...

He kept his family locked up and trapped in prison with him in the name of protecting them from his enemies...
That's not the life they want to live...imagine being stuck in a prison because of a man when they should be walking free...

If they stayed with him, it was only a matter of time before he either killed them or caused their death or his enemies killed them...

The extraction was necessary...
His wife wanted a better future for her children instead of becoming criminals/warlords like their father till death

I remember watching this movie and thinking that Omo this movie no fit Tom Cruise at all

abduleez1:


Lol, true, it felt a bit weird watching Tom Cruise in it. Cos it's not the acting style one has grown accustomed to.

Zom100: bucket list of the dead.
Now I actually wish we could have a real Zombie apocalypse in Nigeria.
Rule number 1; avoid any communities.
People that want to form communities and live a normal life always end up dying.
When it hits just become a wandering armed Nomad.

Blue Beetle flopped as expected...

The DC brand is almost dead and only a hard reboot can save it but it's gonna take time and serious effort.

Anyways, I watched Blue Beetle yesterday and ngl the critics were right about this one.

This is a good movie. There's a lot of heartfelt moments in this movie, the action is good, the story is okay and it has solid characters.

The Latino cast is great and everybody brings their A game.

This movie is not groundbreaking by any means. It is kinda similar to other superhero flicks you've seen before.

But it is hella fun and very entertaining.
It is a family movie. A very good family movie.

As a matter of fact, I watched this movie in a cinema with about two dozen people and I noticed a family of five all dressed in matching outfits in the room with us.
Everybody had a good time.

Blue Beetle is not a perfect movie.

The first half is a bit above average with exposition left and right and some moments where I thought the movie was starting to loose me.

But the second half is nothing short of spectacular. The movie draws you back in again with very good action scenes and family dynamics that will get you emotional.

Even the villain who was generic and uninteresting at first got a moment to shine in the third act.

Did I mention that this movie has high stakes.
At least 3 or more characters died. I can't get into details cuz 'spoilers'.

Xolo Mariduena shines as the lead. He fits the Jaime Reyes/Blue Beetle like a glove.

Blue Beetle has the vibe and feel of the early 2000s superhero films.
If you didn't like those superhero films you watched as a kid I don't think you will enjoy Blue Beetle.

I can't believe I'm saying this but Blue Beetle is way better than The Flash imo.

The third act alone clears everything The Flash tried to do.

I didn't expect it but Blue Beetle is surprisingly good.

My expectations were low and this movie still left me entertained and satisfied.

My rating- 7.5/10

Flopped in what context, because that is such a heavy term to use for a movie that is barely 4 days old.

ShaqFu:
is the movie any good?

$43m in its first weekend is already an indication

pu7pl3:


You've forgotten there is something called word of mouth that can influence even the slowest starts.

pu7pl3:


It's enjoyable
Felt like I was watching an Animé.

Him dey follow all the twitter headlines and online clickbaits with their projections.

phr0nesis:

Until that miracle happens, we'll consider it a flop

oyaskii:
As in, all things considered, nobody realistically supposed dey expect big numbers from Blue Beetle for opening weekend.

pu7pl3:


It's not a flop bro your consideration needs reconsideration.
When it finishes it's time in the theaters then we can properly access it.
Nothing is flopped about the movie yet

pu7pl3:


I don't know how much they expected it to make by this time.
A new i.p.
Less marketing
A relatively unknown character
It's first installment etc
It was always going to have a kind of slow start.

The upside is that general consensus is that the movie is actually good and that can speak for it in the coming weeks.

oyaskii:
$43m in it's first weekend means it has failed?? Really? So in this context "The Flash" is a better movie? "Shazam Fury of the Gods" is a better movie?

Maann...Martin Scorsese was right. The obsession with these box office numbers is killing the industry. These numbers might discourage people who hold these obsession, thinking this is a bad movie which infact it's not. Any projections that picture this doing exceedingly better than this at this point is a farce. DC didn't even put much into promoting this till like last 2 weeks or so.

Pls, could someone post links/site to download Game of thrones free in mp4....from the 'first edition' to 'catching fire' to 'mockingjay'.
Thank you.

Everything that continues to come out of this man's mouth is showing how he's loosing touch with reality. Fantastic director but c'mon
