Ford vs ferrari , solid 8/10.
Personally I think it's the best movie released last year...
Entertainment,solid acting,cinematography,etc.....I can't think of any flaws.
It's a shame joker is getting all the nominees when there are movies like this around...shows what promotion and hype can do.

That's not entirely true, especially if he fancies lampoon/Satire.
At the bolded, it's simply a satire as seen from the lens/eyes of an innocent 10years old, which was meant as a form of ridicule to the Nazi's & also, the events of the war that transpired in their own half(Germany).
Though i understand, that the brand of humor & idea behind the movie is somewhat kinda different from the norm, so it's definitely not for everyone, thus, it's is perfectly ok if you despise it. Anyone who fancied Charlie Chaplin's “The Great Dictator" would definitely love this one, irrespective of the later being a pantomime.

U sure? Abeg give me rating from 1-10 cos I presently have it in my phone but contemplating to delete it or not.

I don't wanna waste my time watching junk this year when I've tons of good stuff yet unwatched.

Thank God say na person send am for me. MB no waste but sure wasting space! undecided

IMO, it's not really that bad, neither is it good, it's just there. It's lacks creativity in terms of story telling, the idea was good, though cliché. Well, considering it's a B-grade flick, I'd cut it some slack. Since you already have it, I'd say you see it, atleast for Stephen Amell's sake.

The fact is that even if i went the other way, you'd still come up with a defense. You want to be convinced, visit your local church over there.
Muslims & Christians alike believe in the same God.
According to the Qur'an they believe God created Adam & Eve, rescued Noah from the ark, helped moses escape Egypt, promised Abraham a vast progeny. Doesn't the above colorate to the God of the bible.

The bolded is wrong to some extent.
For example: Some Christians believe that Jesus is God and others believe it's Jehovah, and other thinks that there are actually three entities Marge to make one God.
It's only the Jehovah idea of God that closely tally with the Islamic one.

I backed it on kickstarter, so they sent us a link on Monday, finally got round to it.

Weird & oddly entertaining. The end could have been better, but once they wrote themselves into that corner, they didn't really have a choice.

Terminator dark fate : 7/10

The previous BOSS in the last installment will kick this current BOSS ass.

And i thought Arnold Schwarzenegger upgraded his system in the last installment, that he can self reconstruct any damage part.

ANYWAY THE NEW BOSS IN THIS ONE, is not that powerful compare to the last own's boss. (Human matched with technology)

You'll understand the bolded bit if you watch it. Granted, the end made me want to watch again to see the signs, but at the same time I still believe the execution was flawed. It's a 7 for now...

The only people praising Terminator dark fate are those who love good action films...and yes it is a good action film.

But is Terminator dark fate a good Terminator film?

Not even close.
It's a terrible Terminator film and anybody that loved the first the first two films and understands the story James Cameron took the franchise then will really hate Dark Fate.

Dark Fate is a disgrace to Terminator 1 and T2...two best films in the franchise.

I rate Dark Fate 3/10

A good action film but a terrible terminator film.


My review coming up soon....
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by BlackManta(m): 1:00am On Jan 17, 2020
TERMINATOR WOKE FATE....3/10

My Review

SPOILER ALERT




Like I said in my previous post the only people praising Terminator dark fate are those who love good action films...and yes it is a good action film.

This movie has some of the elements of a good action film but it is a horrible terminator film and I will explain why.

There are a lot of things I hate about this film but first let me start with the positives.

PROS...

Good Acting except..... Linda Hamilton...yes the acting in this film was really good. I thought Justin Bieber and the Mexican chick did well with what they were given but Linda felt off and bored. Something tells she only came back for this unnecessary sequel just for the money. She looks uninterested and it showed in her acting....my personal observation tho.

Justin Bieber....that lady really impressed me. I think she was by a mile the best character in this film.

Great action sequences.... The action in this film was really good and keeps you hooked and at the edge of your seat.

That's all with the positives....

When this movie came out people were calling it the best Terminator movie since T2....and it makes sense because the sequels after T2 brought the bar way too fuçking low. And if anything, this movie only brought that bar a lot lower.

Now let me explain why I hate this movie and rated it 3/10.

CONS....


1. HORRIBLE RECYCLED STORY

The movie starts off by killing John Connor...
the importance of this future freedom fighter residing in Sarah Connor's womb was stated from the first Terminator movie. This kid MUST be born, protected, and cultivated to save humanity.

But no... just kill him off because they're clearly out of ideas, so let's start from scratch.

There, that's all you need to know. Everything Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese went through Terminator 1 was for nothing. Everything John, Sarah and Uncle Bob went through Terminator 2 was for nothing.

Now do you see what I meant when I said Dark Fate is a disgrace to Terminator 1 and T2.
This movie sh*ts all over everybody's favourite films in the franchise.

Question #1. Where are the robots here in 2019? Per T3, Skynet launched and Armageddon was in full effect. Never mind let's move on.

Eventually, a sixty-something-year-old cranky Sarah Connor enters the picture. We later find out from her that a third Arnie T-800 killed her son John in 1998.

Question #2. How was John Connor killed in 1998 when he was alive in 2003 and later?

Question #3. How was Sarah Connor still alive when she died of leukemia per T3?


I'm finding out now that this movie is supposed to be a continuation of the timeline after T2. Which means that the three movies after T2 were a big red herring and a colossal waste of time.

With a retcon it turns out that Skynet had actually sent back multiple Terminators to take out John -- a move that not only goes against the entire internal logic of Terminator 2, but also carries the added weight of having irrevocably defiled the emotional weight of Uncle Bob's heartrending death scene. In case anyone forgot, the sole reason he died was because his was the last CPU that could lead to Skynet's creation and he willingly accepted his fate to prevent that from happening.

But whatever, they stopped Skynet, so now a new rogue AI has taken its place -- because what else are they gonna do? -- and it sent back a Terminator to kill some random girl who's gonna become the new leader of the resistance against Skynet 2.0. Tell me if things start sounding familiar to you, because I'm having serious deja vu here.

These lazy writers recycled the same story we have been told before cry

I'm still waiting for the promised future showdown with Skynet. One that depicts John Connor as the future leader of the human resistance, and shows the human struggle and sacrifice that leads to ultimate victory over the heartless and hostile machines. Where is that movie? Well we're never going to get a future war movie with John Connor anymore.

And oh yeah, the Terminator that killed John is the same one played by Arnold -- just like Terminator 3 -- only this time he's moved on, started a family and settled down and we're somehow supposed to care about the guy that essentially murdered 2 great movies' worth of development.

First of all, I can't imagine a Terminator, whose sole mission is to eliminate human existence, would decide to live a normal human life after executing its primary target.
This Terminator--a machine--decided to adopt a family after killing John Connor. Like, "Well, I have no one to kill so let me settle down and start a family." Plus, he was so remorseful for that killing that he forever after helped Sarah Connor eliminate other Terminators by feeding her information. What rubbish.

God will punish the person that decided a terminator, after completing it's mission, can grow a conscience and have a family. That is a very stupid thing to do.
A terminator should go back to the future or self destruct after completing it's mission.

What if a government organisation discovered Arnold Schwarzenegger's terminator, captured him and replicated the technology

Do you see why it's a bad idea to leave a terminator lying around.

2. Dani Ramos

Now we have Dani Ramos as the primary target and John Connor is totally out of the picture. We find out that Dani's main gifts are the ability to make people stop fighting each other. That's great and all but come on.

John Connor was forged for the job as a leader of the resistance. His mother bore him and trained him since birth how to prepare for Judgment Day and how to fight Terminators. It made perfect sense for him to lead the resistance. His preparation was decades in the making. Now we get a woman whose greatest asset is being a motivational speaker.

3. TERRIBLE VILLAIN

The villain isn't scary. They said Rev 9 is the most dangerous terminator. Well, I dont buy it. He's being bullied, bossed around, thrown everywhere, easily kept at bay with guns and overall the nice, calm, human persona of the infiltration behavioral pattern just makes the character look like a really generic villain. Calm, evil, almost psychopathic, but that is not what a Terminator is. And hilariously Arnie's Young Cameo at the start of the movie posed MORE of a threat than the entirety of the Rev 9 throughout the entire movie. It is nothing short of insane how badly they understand what a Terminator is supposed to act like.


4. FEMINISM PROPAGANDA

Too much female proper gander. Too political & shoe horned. Males portrayed as bad/weak guys & females portrayed as good strong characters. Several degrading snipes a men. I.e. female lead takes clothes of male character & leaves him behind in his boxers. She does this twice. O'Conner's character tells Carl to shut the f up. And so on. Male characters sidelined or belittled. Female empowerment overload, females stole the film & did most of the heavy lifting. Toxic femininity & misandry were rife in this sequel.

So overall, I have to say this film was a mixed bag. Sort of. But the female empowerment & political correctness is really starting to jar me off. This shoehorning in films today has gone too far. Male directors, writers & producers being forced to make a film which is both Politically Correct & portrays women as strong & men as weak. Long story short, the political message is made for equality but contradicts itself with male characters being put down & not being equal to female leads.
