Brand new day. Brand new suit. A much darker and serious film...(my answered prayers). Yeah I'm excited. This is the only Marvel movie I'm looking forward to next year, yes I know there's an Avengers movie coming but nothing about that excites me as much this.

Eden is a solid 6/10 for me. Nice plot, true life story with wonderful and powerful casts but mediocre delivery not on the part of the actors and actresses but on the script writing. Adding some flavour, action or thrilling drama to the script that befits the casts would have really sold the movie. Anna did well though, her crazy lunatic and psychotic role sold it for me but nonetheless it's still a nice watch.

Materialists is a solid 7/10 for me. One thing i love about this romantic piece is the reality of the storyline, from the first scene to the last, to every conversation to every details, nothing seems fake at all. The movie is the all embodiment of how realistic marriage and love is in the world we are today. Like it or not, it's all business except for a very few. Another thing is the importance of money to a man in a relationship. Like it or not, you might lose your woman, the love of your life without money, though few women might be an exception if they actually love you. No need to talk about the casts, we all know that they will always bring their A games.

40 acres is a solid 9/10 for me. This is an absolute wonderful cinematic piece. From the conversations to the plots and the character building to the action to the thrill . I love how they started the movie in a slow manner, telling the story so that you can understand the entire concept of the movie. I love how they built the casts into likeable characters. The black woman ( the ex soldier) was more than talent, her facial expressions were top notch, she over played the role to the maximum. She is good mehn!!!!! Another Goated scene about the movie was when they played Rama's calm down!!! I was so proud of that moment especially as a Nigerian. Long Live Afrobeat!!!! They could have easily made this a series with 6 episodes and it could have been a hit. But anyways it's still a Goated movie though.

Samistry2:Given how No Way Home ended, I think a darker serious tone is the only direction to go. I don't understand how Peter loses his aunt and best friends, ends up completely alone, and then suddenly goes back to being funny and acting like a typical teenager. I think we will get a Spiderman that is more mature like Tobey Maguire. |

abduleez1:That period after "Endgame" (2019), when Kevin Fiege was greenliting every slop that came through his doors, did irreparable damage to the MCU, i mean filth like "She Hulk", "Secret Wars" and Antman: Qantumlovmbiaxx and The Marvels were their response to as a follow up to a hugely successive period, so people just got tired of shît, so it's no surprises that the wave for their slops, dwindles after opening weekend. The next Avengers movie is the utmost litmus test for this franchise, even that is on shaking legs, i mean they got so spooked that they had to cast a beloved hero in the successful period, as a villain, just to got some sort of fan service going... doesn't bode well at all. |

oyaskii:Spideman will do okay |
| Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by DieRich5: 11:10am On Aug 03, 2025 |
Nickshrapnel:Normally Spider Man will always do well……… my favorite hero |
| Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by oyaskii(m): 11:34am On Aug 03, 2025 |
Nickshrapnel:You are speculating. It could go either way tbh. |

I’m happy for DC, it’s been long back to back losing anyway 99% sure dem ain’t topping next year

oyaskii:If Fantastic Four fails, that's a wrap on every superhero movie that is not a guaranteed box office draw. In fact, I believe that is where we are right now. The only movies Marvel has in active development are Spiderman and Avengers. Kevin Feige will never make a movie about B-list characters ever again. |

DieRich5:Premium cope. Cope harder mate. ![]() If them tell Una say DC go top Una this year, Una go believe. What's even an insult is the many folks who thought just because of the MCU logo and pedigree F4 would easily out gross SUPERMAN. I just dey laff dey wait. Next time Disney no go try that rubbish again putting a big movie next to a DC tent pole thinking they still have the advantage they had all these years. Sure you can top next year, no doubt, but after Doomsday, Spiderman which are next year, MCU doesn't seem to have much going for it except probably Secret Wars. So, you people are in way more trouble than you think. DC IS just rebuilding. Hope you remember that. SUPERMAN is a universe first and introduction of what's to come and general excitement spells trouble for the MCU if they continue to underperform and turn away the general audience. |

oyaskii:Do I blame them. It's this very audience that gave them the audacity to keep regurgitating slop and make them successful. While the general audience was very harsh towards DC projects they gave way more leeway for MCU to drop just any shïte and hype it up. The only really successful slop from DC during the heydays was Suicide Squad 2016, grossing $750mn. Imagine Captain Marvel hitting $1bn that year. Thor: LAT with over $750mn. Antman films hitting $620mn plus. The market is recalibrating now. I remember saying it frequently back then around early 2020s that the moment the general audience starts judging MCU content for what they truly are, ground go too shake.... Now it's very evident. Imagine MCU releasing 3 movies and no one would top just a single DC film. Now that's a new low. Anyways, time and eras pass. Empires come and go. There was a time Marvel couldn't compare or even compete with DC in any media facet ages ago. Now it's different. So let's see how this new era of CBM decline pans out. Nevertheless, I still believe the upcoming Avengers movies will do very well. Doomsday will easily gross a billion, probably even Spiderman BND too. Audiences haven't had their fill of gratuitous fan service and bringing back old actors with the excuse of multiverses YET. Ultimately, this movie was at a disadvantage because of Disney's insistence on keeping it in the same space with SUPERMAN. They tried to destroy SUPERMAN's box office and DC's chances of reworking a fresh franchise that could compete with them, so it exploded right in their faces. |

DieRich5:That screenshot is a massive "cope". If that's how you really feel too I guess you're also trying to cope like the original poster too. |
| Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Kaycee7(m): 7:23pm On Aug 03, 2025 |
DieRich5:"Female Thunderbolts" Let's take a look at the team Bucky - Male Yelena - Female Johnny Walker - Male Ghost - Female Red Guardian - Male Sentry - Male Lemme even be generous and throw in Taskmaster. That still leaves the ratio at 4 men to 3 women. Anti-woke propagandists no go kee me 😂🤣😂 |

From Dusk Till Dawn......3/10 Premium trashy 90s vampire fare. The most ridiculous and hideous looking Vamps I've ever seen. If they were tagged werewolves I would be more agreeable. Slow vampire, weak ass punks with the strength of a child. Ridiculous power scaling that people who just turned vampires several minutes ago could even have more strength than people who've been Vampires for far longer time and even years of vampirehood. Trashy watch and mostly unbearable to watch. Asides the slight ridiculous comedy, it was gratuitously USELESS. The first half of the film was the good part. The second half just descended onto shambolic comedic fare. The fun parts of the film was when Quentin Tarantino was still on-screen and the scene he wrote for himself "feet" Salma Hayek. The third act just totally spoils the whole thing going on. Classic example of a movie, so bad it's good. I would have scored it better but the silliness was just too much to bear at the final 30mins. It's actually funny watching this now and remembering hearing people say SINNERS plagiarized from this. The only thing they share are a few surface level similarities. While SINNERS was refined and methodical and a far better film it's even nonsensical to compare both, this one just excels in shittiness and not taking itself too seriously. How different can they be? |

abduleez1:Seriously? Anyway, if I watched this particular movie now, I probably would have rated it the same way you just did. But, seeing as I watched it back when DBN Night Shift was in vogue, I must have to tell you: guy, you fvck up for this your rating. Lol |

Mike Colter for live action God of War Hear me out.. |
| Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by abduleez1(m): 11:45am On Aug 04, 2025 |
joseph1832:Yeah, maybe the times we watched ours may be a key differential.....but still quality shines through nonetheless. I might not enjoy something but I can appreciate the qualities and technicalities it took to bring something to life. But this? This is pure trash. Maybe I would have enjoyed it the time it came out but that doesn't excuse it from being subpar at best. I've watched 1950s movies older than Nigeria as a country itself and they were some of the best thing I've ever seen. But this? Nah.... This is just objectively rubbish guilty pleasure. |
| Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by abduleez1(m): 11:54am On Aug 04, 2025 |
For some reason this useless site and this censoring system doesn't want me to post this review for days..... 🤦🏽♂️ Honestly I wonder when this Seun guy will take this forum more seriously and reform it to standard. If dude isn't making money from this at all, I would understand. But this? Anyways, just highlights Nigerians mentality towards business and the reason our economy have been shambolic as time passes.

abduleez1:The bar has been raised several times over the decades that passed since that movie came out. It was explosive that year |
| Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by armadeo(m): 3:23pm On Aug 04, 2025 |
abduleez1:Lol. That guys face sha |
| Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by armadeo(m): 3:24pm On Aug 04, 2025 |
joseph1832:Exactly. |
| Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by armadeo(m): 3:26pm On Aug 04, 2025 |
abduleez1:Againni say you're judging with the modern eye. That movie was the bomb back then. Honestly now I won't even watch it for free but I remember how many times I watched it back then including the direct to video follow ups. That's how muc I liked it then. |
| Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Nickshrapnel: 4:01pm On Aug 04, 2025 |
Gone girl Usual suspects |
| Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by joseph1832(m): 4:46pm On Aug 04, 2025 |
abduleez1:Oh well, I guess back then when we watched the movie, we didn't know there was going to be another vampire movie where vampires glow in Sunlight. Lol. Still, From Dusk Till Dawn is a pretty damn good movie. Hope you won't complain when you watch Devil's advocate? Nah... I seriously doubt it. armadeo:Just leave Abduleez make him dey talk. Lol |
