Why am I not surprised?

How does a show that you fast-forwarded the 2nd episode and skipped the 3rd begin to make sense to you in the 4th? Simply goes to show you have no business with plot at all.

Oh, you can. You absolutely can

It's funny how y'all won't question half of the unrealistic stuff that happens in superhero movies but draw the line at a heartfelt speech. Diana put her heart into that speech and most of the people who'd wished were regretting their wishes already. So, I don't get why you're talking as if single people in real life have not talked down raging mobs before.
Cheetah never gave up her wish, at least we don't see her do so. And the stone took her humanity in exchange for the power she wished for, which you would have noticed if you were perceptive. And her transformation to a beast was facilitated by Max Lord when he bestowed attributes taken from people who had made wishes on her.

Yes, as Max Lord has renounced his wish of being the Dreamstone, the stone will materialize again. The stone took his life force, his health, his very being from him, which you would have noticed again if you were paying attention. Are you sure you watched this movie?

So we're talking about physics that's completely theoretical? Alright then, what's the average velocity of launched missile? Let's start from there.

Wasn't shocked? You read the plot on Wikipedia or somewhere, didn't you? Cos that's the only thing that makes sense at this point.

It's simple mechanics, really. Amplify what you did with the cup on a much larger scale.

Thor just got Stormbreaker and instantly started summoning the Bifrost without any tutorial. Diana's been swinging through the air since she was a kid. Don't get why her learning to air glide after some key pointers should be such a surprise. Especially seeing as she's the daughter of Zeus and the sky is his domain.
What Cheetah lost upon Max Lord renouncing his wish was the beast form he bestowed upon her. As far as we know, Cheetah hasn't renounced her wish which means she still posseses the strength the stone gave her.
The stone's origins were explored when they went to meet Babajide but you probably skipped that scene. See screenshot below.
The Dreamstone basically grants your wish in a twisted and mischievous way, while taking something that is of great value to you.

Your opinion is invalid seeing as it seems like you didn't even watch the movie or pay attention to it. So you can join the long list of bandwagon members who're hating on WW84 because it's the trend.
Or, at least, just use the "it doesn't have much action" reason. That's a more valid reason.
Chai, Boss you really finish work for this explanation for these MFs. You actually dumb down the Lingua so even a kid would understand.

I'm beginning to wonder if these peeps really watched this movie or they were just there for the action cos this shît is becoming comical. See stupid rebuttals this guy dey give. Question wey you no suppose ask if you truly open eyes and brain watch am.

Kai, you really SHALAYE. and these peeps will still cry with one silly irrelevant point or another.

It's clear this guy no even understand wetin him watch. Imagine one funny dude the other day was annoyed Diana wasn't affected by the serious electricity in the pool of water. Like really. Others crying about her gliding or extrapolation of previous test on the plane. It's like they don't want to apply their brains when watching this movie and just want to bit¢h cry. Most of the things he was crying about sef, film calmed down and explained it. It doesn't even require much thinking or theories.

With all these dodgy pet peeves for hating the movie k just believe now most want to belong to the bandwagon mentality. Follow the hype and trend.

Same happened to MOS. Now folks are calling it a masterpiece. cheesy

Please who has watched "TROY: FALL OF A CITY" to advise me if it's worth watching. Thanks
Very average.

It was good at the beginning but then veered off course at the ending.

Although it tries depicting the story in another perspective. It's okay if you're not very familiar with the lore(Iliad). What was controversial was the race changing of Achilles to black. Same for the Myrmidons. But some of the history and quality were good. Like depicting Achilles's homosexuality. grin Achilles seemed the best written in the series.


You'll enjoy it tho nevertheless if you're an epic fantasy junkie like me.

Overall let's say 6/10.

The movie will definitely win awards not just an award, but I don't get the hype either. It was just there for me. The only good thing about that movie was that it didn't have the normal Nollywood-esque happy ending.
Thank you.... That's what I've been saying.

But Baba dey use Hollywood logic and metric dey judge Nollywood film.

Man, This movie was bearly a 3/10. If it was done about 10 years ago i would have forgiven the myriad of things wrong with it and pinned it down to inexperience but alas it is a 2020 movie with a pretty solid budget to ride on and it was piss poor to say the least.

The writing.. abysmal, the pacing... incoherent, the dialogues... immature? Heck how are you using a language (Bini) and you are not getting a native speaker or at least prepare the actor/actress properly who is playing the part even if he or she ain't a native speaker. Ultimately it didn't pass any message that we didn't know before, and the ending wasn't a nice twist of any sorts, they were trying to leave the door open for a sequel.

I would be very suprise if it gets any award.
Yea the writing and some of the acting pissed me off at first but I got the message. The message and how it was delivered was what Hooked me. Yea, it was a bit kinda fast paced but that is a typical Nigerian style of film. So I see it as it is. I am yet to see any Nigerian movie that is a slow burn. So that one no count.

Oga forget, it's either you're using Hollywood metrics to judge the movie or you haven't watched much recent Nollywood films. In terms of the story and delivery this is way better than the stupid lots we see year in year out. The fact that it's not even a comedy genre is a plus to it. Why I loved the movie or gave it as high as a 7 was primarily because of the scene where the Benin Girl Linda got herself killed. A typical Nigerian movie would find a means of letting her escape death. That alone earned it 1 point.

About the ending; yep it's kinda set up for a sequel. I felt that too. But I'm seeing the movie as an independent bunch/ project. So that ending is okay by me. Hollywood uses such cheap trick always everyday.

There's no movie on this planet Earth that the message being passed across isn't known already. It's just the delivery or method of approach that differs or another angle or viewpoint.

On the Bini language: I'm from Edo state, and I tell you the Bini spoken in the film is very passable. The mother of the girl spoke perfect Bini. The Linda actress who got killed wasn't too good with the language but her spoken language was forgivable. It wasn't horrible as you're trying to paint it.

And for the ending.... Not giving me a sunshine and rainbows ending ultimately gave it an added point. So all in all, it would have been 5/10 but those above mentioned reasons are why I gave it that high rating.
TV/MoviesRe: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Progenix: 11:18pm On Feb 14, 2021
Olótúré ......7/10

This is a pretty good gritty take on the sexual exploitation and human trafficking underworld in the Nigerian sphere.

I like how it tries to be very realistic. I thought the ending might be a little happy ending with rainbow and some sunshine, but no, I was surprised. Nice twist. That's how I like it, realism to the core. Love how the end was open ended. You're left to fill in the gap. Anyway you please.


If this movie didn't win any major award in the movie industry for 2020 then I'd be pissed.
This Netflix partnership seems to be doing some good. Keep up the good work Mo Abudu and EbonyLife Films. Big ups to the Director Kenneth Gyang.

Not all the time we turn up and regurgitate comedies.

No disrespect to Hbo and it's vampire series called true blood but CW's the originals is greater than True blood anyway and anytime.

The originals and the michelson's still have cult followers on instagram and facebook even till this day.

So what are we even saying here?
Yea, I'd take The Originals anyday anytime over True Blood. Funny enough True Blood I haven't gotten to season 2 sef. grin

Originals remain the GOAT in Supernatural Horror. Especially the Vampire/Werewolf genre.

Still wonder at times how CW was the one who delivered this Masterpiece. huh

CuteMercury:
Indeed HBO is king and I've seen true blood.
They shouldn't have ended it though but the outsider is one of the most boring HBO show I've ever seen in my life.
I couldn't get past episode 3.

By the way i didn't want to get into an argument but someone said The originals can't go past the top 20 hbo shows and i find that not only to be insulting to we the cult followers of klaus michaelson, i think whoever said that need to be shot at with an Ak 47.
Lol, I know you were amongst the people who hated the Outsiders, that's why I purposely quoted it.

Lol, yea I'm the one who claims The Originals CAN'T stand up to HBO's best 20. And I stand by it.


In case you don't know man, I'm also a Mikaelson Cultist. grin I didn't watch the last 2/3 seasons of Vampire Diaries cos it was shitty. But you see The Originals I knew it was god-tier from the first episode.
With all due respect I've never seen or come across The Originals listed in any TOP 30 shows ever. Not even a Top 50 sef. It's mainly dominated by HBO. And the Originals can't really measure up to other franchise in terms of core Top Notch quality. But in its genre of Supernatural Horror it's among the Best. Funny thing is I've seen Supernatural crept in some of these lists but Originals keep missing.

All these asides, The Originals still remains my best Supernatural franchise or Vampire/Werewolf series EVER. No one comes close.

That's why I get angry when I hear that nonsense Hope spinoff Show. I've even forgotten its name, couldn't get past season 1. 6/7 episodes in.

The opening scenes scream out like Donner's Superman flicks from the 70s, this is something Geoff John swore to bring back to DCEU. The world has moved past that era and I foresee Geoff Johns is so fixated on his donnerish style for all DC movies. Even the soundtracks are so bland, I even wonder why WB is already planning a thrid movie for Wonder Woman. Their last two DC movies have been so wacky...
Birds of Prey wasn't wack but Tonally Different.

WW84 even tho I know it might be weaker on a rewatch, it's not wacky either.

They surely will do something about it. Just waiting for the ZSJL Streaming numbers first after release. grin

You forgetting they have a change of exec from at&t and are the reason we're hearing a SnyderCut even with WB repeated denial of its existence for years. grin

You're also forgetting DC is toeing the Multiversal Line now. So everything is CANON. grin

You seem to forget there's a rumor/report Batfleck will live on in his follow up movie(s) at HBOMax. Similarly I see ZSJL going that way if it outperforms and shatters records/expectations. cheesy

With AT&T going all out on HBOMax projects and DC Films I see it coming to fruition one way or another. And what better way of eating your cake and having it than having parallel Multiverse of Universes simultaneously~ HBOMAX(Snyderverse & smaller characters) & DCEU(shared universe & bigger characters) grin
