🎥 One Piece S01 (2023) = 6/10 ✔️ ❤️

🌚🌚🌚

Lemme just saw whoever wrote the script for Darren Richmond in The Killing is so heartless and wicked.

Damn!!!

Season 2 and its still raining.

I like as One Piece fans are premiumly downvoting AOT episodes.
That fanbase is too loud and fvvking annoying.


The show is great but their fans hype it up to the heavens like it's the best thing after the discovery of sliced bread.
AOT fans also has weirdos that do the same shit downvoting other shows. Tit for tat as all things should be balanced. I see no issues there.

Another prime reason why I don't take audience ratings seriously at all. Bunch of clowns rates shit anyhow they feel without professional touch or experience.
Person wey dey take audience scores seriously, na him self he dey whine. (It's basically just a metric to test how much audiences enjoyed a program... nothing else). It doesn't usually reflect the quality of the project.

Only audience score I take with some level of seriousness and authenticity is CINEMASCORE. Especially as it's the direct ratings from people actually coming out from a cinema screen. Direct from the source. No manipulations. You know how the viewer feel about a movie as soon as he's done watching.

So, critics scores and opinions will remain GOATED and the key reference point.

Jus finish season two and yu go dh shattered

Power book 4 Force season 2 episodes 1 and 2 is a solid 7/10 for me.
Badass tommy at it again, lol
Tommy is so bloody and heartless his partner had to ask him if all these deaths doesn't bother him 😁

But honestly with the way things are going, i don't think it's going to be easy for tommy this season.
The feds are after him, the drug Lords are after him and now he has set a war between two drug factions and if they find out he is responsible then the whole of Chicago and new York will be after him.

I don't want to reveal to much to avoid spoilers but i really want to see how all these are going to end.

Did you see the piece last week about small PR companies influencing critics ratings for as low as 50 bucks?.

Point is, both side of the divide have thier issues as there are too many factors affecting these decisions, some might be silly agendas, some might be that the show is actually good or bad and others might be monetary as shown by the article yesterday.


I always reference "Hillbilly Elegy" (2020) as an example, i don't know if you've seen the movie, Critics bash the movie because of one tiny insignificant detail, that truly didn't interfere with the narrative the movie was trying to tell. When i finally saw it, it was a mighty fine movie with a bonus of been scored by the legendary Hans Zimmer!. Now i would have missed out on it because of crack heads professional critics with silly agenda that seems insincere on paper.


More often than not, I have also seen very poor movies rated highly by professional critics, case in point, just go with your guts and let these reviews whether professional or not, be a "little pointer" rather than an actual guide because you would miss out on alot if you pay serious mind to either.

Special ops liones is a solid 8/10 for me.

Obviously this is one of the most interesting series this year and i like the realistic storyline it gives.

This isn't just a CIA/spy series, it is also a revelational series as to life as a CIA/spy agents and funny enough, the entire storyline in this series plays out in our world today.

Who do you think killed those powerful men in the western world?
These rich and powerful men that has blood on their hands 🙌
When you watch this series and then you hear tomorrow that a president or a very powerful rugged billionaire has been assassinated in Asia or middle east or in Europe then you will have an idea how he was assassinated.

This world is indeed a dog eat dog World and the more you look , the less you see.

I hope there is season 2 but at the same time i think there will be no need for season 2 as the series ended on a satisfactory note but whatever the owners decides, we will honour their decision to continue with a second season or end it.

Yellowjackets S1 and 2 8/10

Probably the one of the best underrated show in 2023, hell of a slowburn didn't understand a lot till s2 , when humans are starving to death cannibalism and murder was always part of human nature weather you accept it or not, a lot of deep meaning in shows

I heard HBO rejected this show because it had a lot in common with euphoria, this part is understandable

I haven't watched the season 2 of the series but i have downloaded the whole of season 2 and i want to binge watch all episodes at a go probably this weekend and this is why i haven't started the season 2.

And yes you are right, this is one of the most underrated series out there.
I totally loved and i remember some people attacking me for rating the series highly after watching season 1.

If only they see the genius of the series but then again, not everybody have the stomach for slow burner series.
If they don't see guns or fights or magic or dragons or sex in the first episode then they say the series is boring.

How i wish people can just settle down and see that a larger part of the greatest series out there are slow burners.

AOT fans are wild Sha....
Majority of the fandom only fight themselves and don't care much about ratings...
It's mostly an in-fandom war

While One Piece fans like to compare. It's always posts like: "Gear 5 is more iconic than Ultra Instinct" "Luffy's freedom >>> Eren's freedom...." Blablabla


Guy...critic scores are also untrustworthy. The Rotten tomatoes scandal is one where critics were bought. Look at IGN that also criticized One Piece live action for being faithful to the source material...wtf...and they said the Cowboy Bebop live action was better...wtf

Critics are just as bad bro...I've seen critics criticize a show for not being woke enough



Btw...some AOT fans are màd sha...they even contacted the founder of IMDB to complain

for me I still rate audiences more...

But I check the actual reviews. Reviewbombers don't have time to actually type something tangible. Most don't even bother...that's why a show will have thousands of 1 star rating but 0 bad review that is written

Latest Bleach episode had a review like: "Terrible episode, bankai is poor"

You can tell from that comment that the person didn't watch the episode and he also has no idea what Bleach is about. He doesn't even know what Bankai is or the fact that no bankai was actually used in that episode

Yep, I saw and read the article. The only issue with most folks who saw the headline is that they didn't and failed to read the details of the article. They just took the headline and formed whatever narrative they wanted to.

In the article: the prevalence of influencing critics scores on RT is for smaller movies; mostly unknown indie films. That's not the case for blockbuster or studio films we're used to. So that headline can be somewhat misleading.
The PR firms pay scores of unknown critics who are part of the pool Rotten Tomatoes source aggregate reviews from. Those critics you've never heard of or seen their names before are paid the $50 to influence scores for their movies mostly so that those particular films gains audience interest and in a way sway major or key film distributors like Sony, A24, MGM, Lionsgate etc to buy their films and distribute them. That's the goal. That's also a function these film festivals do to expose their supposed "small or indie or genre films" to key distributors.
You think they'd be able to pay a top critic from Variety, Rolling Stone, Indie Wire etc?? $50 at that. Who accepts that apart from the bottom feeders?

Of course, everything has nuance.
You've surely seem instances where I've openly criticised critics or fault their metrics for films. Eg, I found issue with Shape of Water winning Best Picture. I had issues with the mixed and somewhat negative reception of BABYLON which I feel will be a classic in the not too distant future. Then there's No Country For Old Men that's a headscratcher how it is so highly reviewed and won Best Picture in 2007.

There's many instances like that. But one sure thing I know, critics are 90% of the time right especially when they ain't reviewing a film for political or sociocultural reasons. They don't get it right all the time, but they're damned pretty reliable anyday anytime.

I refer you to the post I just made above ☝️☝️.
And it's clear you didn't actually read the article you posted the other day. I read it a day before you posted it and knew you'd just jump and drop that there. So I wasn't surprised.

IGN are clowns and should stick to their gaming reviews and expertise. Peeps who knows their way around review sites hardly take them seriously for Hollywood reviews. They were exposed as clowns rating The Flash same as Thor: Love and Thunder and Quantumania despite being better than both.

IGN are also not really an authority in terms of film reviews. They're just popular. They're largely inconsistent. No one who knows their salt take IGN reviews for something when it's outside games.

The top dogs are: Indie Wire, Rolling Stone, Variety, Empire, Deadline, THR, The Wrap etc...

Fairs. I did read the article and i knew the poll was from a small time critics but why i used the analogy was that professional critics can actually be nudged to make "false" reviews, whether by monetary or by agenda.

At my bolded lies the problem, there are just too many political and sociocultural reasons these days stoking and clouding up actual good reviews and there's is no saying that higher up critics can't be "bought", money can actually move "mountains". Take "Babylon" for example, a top reviewer called it "exhausting unexciting"!, Glad you have seen it, was it anything close to unexciting?.

I think the best metrics, if one is to go by it seriously, is when both the critics and audience score aligns.

I think the best metrics, if one is to go by it seriously, is when both the critics and audience score aligns.

Sure, professional big time critics can also be persuaded for better reviews by studios with the free tickets or easy access to their movie events and premieres, access to executives and exclusives, promos and perks of being a top dawg.

True, things are way more complicated than ever with various underlying reasons for a good or bad review. Fact remains, I've never seen a pic where critics hyped or raved about a project and I found the project to be actually bad. It might be good or average or I didn't connect with the film as others did but none have been actually "bad".
Of course there are others where critics rated them poorly like Babylon that I found to be utter bullshit.

The key for me is learning how to separate the chaff from the wheat. This is where watching a movie yourself and forming your own opinions comes in.

As for BABYLON, any critic who tells me it's "unexciting" is high on raw Mkpuru Miri. The film can be many things, but boring and unexciting is not one of them. That film for me will grow on to be loved and properly associated as a CLASSIC one day like other top films before it. Margot Robbie delivered an Oscar worthy performance and I was pained she wasn't recognised. Instead, Ana De Armas got a nomination for an equally hated project for BLONDE.
Who's the critic by the way??

Where critic and audience scores align is the sweet spot but I'd easily still go with the "professionals".

Lemme give you a scenario: a critic will still watch a project however minutely before he can be able to give an actual review. He might watch to "hate" and bring all the weaknesses of the film to the fore, at least when you watch the film yourself you can easily spot and call bullshit based on your understanding. Unlike a casual movie fan, who might not even see the said film and just give it a generic review or rating even when he hasn't even watched it. Not to talk of the unpredictability and instability of hardcore fans. These days it's easier to predict critics than even fans.

These are reasons why I'd favour critic professional touch over fans anyday anytime. Also, critics do not always agree between themselves all the time. Their reviews can be mixed at times even amongst critics in the same organisation. If you look at Joker (2019) RT score you'd understand and that movie went on for Best Picture nomination and several other nominations and wins in various awards show.

Likkee , the second season has more direction and focus than the first season. I dont understand what the shouting was all about.

Writers and directors of The Killing 2nd season, last episode are mad.

How do you make the audience suspect 3persons at the same time for one murder , and all with motive and opportunities to commit the crime?
