That rating is average na, it's not that low. You want set me up abi, so that the blood of your MB would have a swell time abi😆. See wetin Tinubu don cause, everybody is cautious of their MB.

Well I don't know your movie taste, preference or how you see your own movies. You might be the type who values the storyline as well as the action together in a movie.

My verdict, if you want an action movie without a well structured storyline then go ahead and download, otherwise, let it slide.

Lol alright thanks grin

😂😂😂.....Why una day like chance this guy🤣. I think his rating of the movie was perfect, 5.5-5.9, should be the range... There are certain movies you enjoy seeing, yet you know they're just average.

The story... Was there even a story? Yeah, just a simple storyline, but the acting and the gun porn is what would keep your attention span and interest from start to finish. It's no Den of Thieves, but it was quite ok in its own way.

Are you recommending it too then?
Cos imo if you enjoyed something you won't rate it that low.

WWE SMACKDOWN REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS

Immortal Tribal combat
As it turns out, all that talk about Roman Reigns and Jey Uso setting the “rules of engagement” was just a cool military sounding way to say they were going to have a contract signing on Friday Night SmackDown this week in Orlando.
Hey, I appreciate the creativity.
But it wasn’t just a contract signing, it was a way to add yet another layer to the story. Jey informed everyone, including Reigns himself, that, well, to hell with a contract, they’re blood and that means this would be TRIBAL COMBAT, which, as Jey himself explained it, essentially just means anything goes.
So they’re going to beat the ever loving trash out of each other with all manner of weaponry.
Then, he said it again, that this is Tribal Combat, and Reigns took the Lei off his neck, something that pained him greatly to do, before placing it on the WWE Universal championship. The symbolism seemed clear enough — they’re fighting for two titles.
WWE Universal Champion.
The Tribal Chief.
If it wasn’t clear, Michael Cole came right out and said it. I quite like stories like this without explainers but it was fair of them to have commentary make clear exactly what the stakes for this match will be.
To really drive it home, after a customary hand shake, Solo Sikoa tried to attack Jey but Roman stepped in before the Spike could land. Jey responded not by backing off but by laying Solo out with a Superkick while Reigns was still holding him.
When Reigns looked to him with concern, the message seemed equally clear.
What was it Paul Heyman said last week?
Jey is looking and acting more and more like a Tribal Chief all the time.
The clock ticks.


Not the knight
LA Knight did not win the Fatal 4-Way match to advance to next week to face Santos Escobar for the right to challenge Austin Theory for the United States championship.
But you know what? They handled this as well as they could have to mitigate any issue fans may have had with him losing. And that’s because they actually bothered to tell a story that makes sense with a wrestler we simply wouldn’t be turning on.
But they also made clear they know Knight is a star in the making. After all, he was the only one to get time on the mic before the match:
YEAH.
Then, they had Theory sitting ringside and getting involved to screw with Rey Mysterio, leading to Escobar hitting the ring to help his fellow LWO stablemate and mentor. But that didn’t include cheating for him to win. No, Mysterio overcome the outside attack to win anyway, and fans cheered for that victory despite Knight taking the loss (after he was taken out with a Brogue Kick).
It works because they were very clearly setting up a “Mentor vs. Protege” match between Mysterio and Escobar, one where Mysterio could and likely will do the job for Santos and give him a big endorsement on his way to a title match that he should probably win.
You couldn’t ask for a better story to tell there. And even if you’re an LA Knight fanatic like myself, you can’t be mad about them telling it.
His time will come.
Later in the evening, Theory demanded a non-title match against Escobar and had it granted. The two had a damn good showcase match, one that saw Escobar take advantage of an angry Theory and pin the champion clean in the middle of the ring.
The fans sure sounded behind Santos to me!
It may finally be time for the uber talented star to get a push at the level he can work at. Next week is a big one.


All the rest
-Iyo Sky is still the Money in the Bank contract holder so in order to keep that fresh on everyone’s mind, they had her wrestle Charlotte Flair in a straight up singles match. Bayley, who thankfully looks like she survived injury and her knee is okay, was fantastic on commentary putting down the man she hates more than anyone, Michael Cole. She also tried to coach up Sky but Shotzi again used the Titantron to get in her head, which led to Bayley completely bailing on Sky. It was still one hell of a competitive match, and absolutely served to show us this is what the future looks like. But not just yet. Flair pinned Sky clean. Asuka attacked her after the match, itself a good thing because, again, she’s largely taken a backseat even as champion. This was really well done all around.

-Oh, what’s this? Bobby Lashley hoping he would run into NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams while in town for this show? And the two meeting for a talk? Whatever could this be about?!? Intrigue!

-Dominik Mysterio defended the North American championship for the first time not his show, defeating BUTCH thanks to multiple assists from his lady friend Rhea Ripley. They also did a comedy spot with Pretty Deadly during the match, so those two are staying on TV despite Elton Prince’s injury, which bodes well for them. There isn’t much to say for Dom vs. BUTCH, other than it’s good they had Mysterio pick up a victory in a title defense before he heads off to The Great American Bash to square up with Mustafa Ali.

You could tell this was an FS1 show. That’s not to say it was bad — quite the contrary, actually — just that they didn’t overdo anything here and focused on a few key segments. I quite enjoyed it.

Looks like nico paz will get the no 16 if odriozola leaves.

I don't see him getting a chance in the midfield considering how populated that department is, but training with the first team, under the mentorship of modric and kroos will help him immensely

So that's how we threw away Alvaro Rodriguez 😔
Why are we adding Nico Paz when Arribas that's even better than him didn't make the cut 😔

Transformers: Rise of The Beast......6/10

Nice enjoyable action movie. I don't get the issue some have with it. It's a fun and enjoyable movie and delivered majority of the deliverables. Acting, writing and dialogue— not so much.
The CGI was good, the reused trope in the franchise wasn't refreshing, but it was watchable. The action was good and fight scenes was good.

It ain't a movie to blow your mind but it does it's best not to take itself too seriously.
All nice and enough to earn it a decent rating.

This one is their below the Micheal Bay transformers for me and those ones are 6-7 over 10 for me already.
Transformer movies are known for their dope OST but I wasn't feeling it in this one except from the parts they copied from old transformer movies and I'm a huge fan of hipop.

I have watched the movie and he's totally right😒. In the theatre I went to, there's an inscription 'Barbie is everything, Ken is just Ken' 😏
Barbie has always been a feminist figure- she's even the most popular feminist ever; but nowadays it looks like feminism is all about suppressing masculinity and all about girls being powerful and strong without the hardwork and growth- the movie was colourful; Gosling was funny, not all the jokes hit- cinematography was excellent but it was a normal movie😒 and not worth the Hype
7/10

I don't like what I'm hearing about Barbie movie at all

Everyone says it's started well then dissolved into wokeness... something well hidden from the trailer...
They marketed it as a simple fun movie...made sure to hide all forms of wokeness in the trailers

Apparently it starts out in Barbieland where women rule and men are subservient.
Then Ken travels to the real world and the real world is portrayed with major patriarchy issues. Men walking on the street slapping women's bûtts and all.

Ken brings this patriarchy to Barbieland and revolt and take over Barbieland with other men. The women have to fight back and regain control.

Now here is where it gets worse...

Barbie apparently refuses equal rights with men in Barbieland...
She says that the men in Barbieland will only be given equal rights when the women in the real world have equal rights


Omo... shocked
How did they hide these all from the trailers?
They said the word "Patriarchy" is mentioned so many times in the movie...wtf

For someone that has been seeing movies for a long time you're always quick to look for what "others said" before you even see said movie

Don't get me wrong, i am not saying the movie was bad, I enjoyed it to some extent, just saying considering the fact that the flash isn't new, as in we've got a series and few DC animations about it, i expected way more.

WOW! Then I might be missing something.
If the can of tomato was just to exenorate the Dad then what saved the mum or what prevented the mum from dying?? What prevented the reverse flash from killing her? Because we all saw from the movie that after he placed the can of tomato in his mum shopping cart she lived on and never died. So care to throw more light?

She didn't live on, that's why he was crying like that in that scene cos he knew that would be the last time he'd see her...she died cos she forgot the can of tomatoes and the dad was framed when he went out to go get it.

I am not trying to place CW's flash above this Flash... Asides the very few first seasons that's 1& 2, the series was a pile of hot sh.it.
The costumes really ?? I never said anything about that.
Well it all boils down to preference. And based on that I'd say CW's flash season 1 had a better, believable, and compelling expository story in comparison to this Flash.
No it doesn't, perhaps you feel that way cos as a series they had more time to flesh out the character and what not.


Yeah, I know there is no definite rule for time travel. But seriously, how can 2 of you be in the same place at the same time and worse even share vital information amongst yourselves and yet there's no repercussion.
The repercussion was clearly there, the younger Barry would forever be lost in that time loop and even if both his parents survive they would never know where their son is, older Barry was also lost somewhere in the multiverse even after helping exonerate his dad (the wrong dad btw)

The whole movie seemed rushed and don't even get me started on the plot holes. Barry was in a lab were lightening strikes some chemical and splashes all over him thus giving him his super speed. Somehow, Barry who's was splashed with a combo of lightning and chemicals recovered within a few seconds of the accident and gained his powers immediately

I agree some aspects of the movie felt rushed and if people just talked about that instead of the CGI it would have been better, the origin story was straight out of the comic books, you're really just nitpicking right now

Again, I don't remember them telling us who killed Barry's mum in the movie. Flash alters the timeline by placing the can of tomatoes in his mum shopping cart and somehow, that can of tomatoes prevents the death of his mum, like seriously!. The director Saying in an interview that Barry's mum was infact killed by the reverse flash. So let me get this straight. When Barry altered the timeline in the past and prevented his mother's death, so, it was a can of tomato that prevented the reverse flash from traveling through time and killing his mum...
.... Personal, I kind of prefer the flash origin story from CW.

I keep saying it, the movie painted the Flash as a butt of joke. We see the flash begging for food and stealing food from folks. One or two humor is good, making it a thing.....Hmm! When it's not Shazam, why all these shenanigan.

It was the can of tomatoes that made Barry's dad leave the house and get implicated in the first place, replacing the tomatoes wasn't meant to keep the mum alive but to exenorate the dad.
We all know who killed Barry's mum and it was smart of them not to mention him in the movie, the Reverse flash should be officially introduced in the new DCU.

Some of the jokes didn't land well and that's because some parts of the movie felt rushed like I said earlier but generally Flash is a quippy character even more than Shazam bordering on Spiderman levels of quips even.

You guys have enjoyed movies worse than Flash on this thread, make Una cut the movie some slack abeg.

Ezra Miller yes, but I don't think he was the only reason The Flash didn't do well. Don't get me wrong, the movie wasn't bad as most folks painted it be, neither was it great, it was just ok.. And those complaining about the microwave scene, it was just humor.

Back to the main point, having followed the Flash series especially season 1 from CW, I expected way more from the movie. The storyline lacked depth and exposition. I am not saying they should have gotten into details, but they should have least borrowed some idea or concept from the CW Flash, ideas like particle accelerator, dark matter, mach 2, multiverse etc.

Infact, the whole movie seemed more like a comedy movie, they made the Flash a butt of joke. Ezra Miller's acting on the other hand was just menh, even when he cried he didn't elicit any form of emotion. Have you seen the CW's Flash Grant Gustin shed a tear? To cry go hungry you I swear, you literally feel empathy for him.

For the CGI, asides the color riot he creates when he travels through time which can give one a migraine, the others are actually ok.

Why are you using CW flash as a yardstick? That iteration wasn't even an accurate description of Barry Allen/Flash, the costumes were cheap and laughable and there were alot of brainfarts from the writers (via the parts I actually watched).
I'd pick Ezra Miller's flash over Grant every single time.

The Flash .....6.5/10

Clearly this movie was judged poorly mainly because of Ezra Miller and not necessarily the quality. The CGI most people were even screaming about all seems to be a fvvking farce. It's CGI was decent. It only looked choppy at the very end with the running scene with both Flash and Kara and the time and space continuum. Asides that, majority of the CGI was good.
I didn't really enjoy the fight with General Zod, it wasn't end to end and didn't live up to MOS standard or half of that. It was decent overall and enjoyed the Batman fight scenes better.


People just used Ezra Miller as a cover to hate this movie. I'd be closely watching it's streaming numbers to actually observe if people didn't really care about the film or were just following the crowd and hearsay.

This just easily shows why some people needs to be shut off from social media. The baby scene about Ezra Miller putting a baby in a microwave was so overblown and out of context it threw people off. The CGI sef, many of those people posting it took screenshots from bad looking upscaled CAMrip and made it the face of the movie.

Overall, the film was good and was just punished bh folks mad about Ezra. Nothing else.

Isn't this what I kept saying? When I started seeing people talk about the microwave scene I just gave up. People just love hating on superhero movies especially when it's from DC, they must come up with something, Person wey download the movie from N#tn#ija dey complain about CGI 🙄🙄
Check blue beetle on twitter and see how people are already calling it mid and talking about how it'll fail.
I don't know how possible it is but these studios should just come together and starve people of the Superhero genre for some years and let's see how the Hollywood scene would look like.
