Ogbeni rest. She was had carried by Greta, Gosling and the Barbie brand. Let her do it again make we believe

She has done it before in 2017 when I,Tonya where she was lead made $53mn. 5x it's budget. With an Academy nomination in tow. πŸ˜‰

Ryan Gosling last theatrical movie "BladeRunner" was an epic flop even with a blockbuster director like Ridley Scott. Also take note it's a legacy IP film too.

I'd she wasn't well liked by the audience the movie wouldn't gross that much at the BO no matter how good it was.
Never doubt Margot's star power. πŸ˜‰

No Star War Movie is BAD
Imo Snyder is more of a cinematographer than a movie director.

Studying movies doesn't mean anything if he can't implement what he's studied properly.

His character work in that movie was seriously lacking. Character designs are cool but that's where their depth ends.

Character A: would you join us?
Character B: no
Character A: you should really join us
Character B: okay I will

That's the summary of most of the recruitment dialogue in the movie.

Or a character criticizing revenge when they recruited her. Then in her presence they recruited the general using revenge as justification.

This feels more like a rating given to shut up haters than a honest rating or opinion.

Or would you state why you gave the movie a 10/10?

The storyline, CGI, and everything about the movie is perfect, I didn't find a single error. I hardly watch a movie twice but this one is so original and so immersive that I've watched it a second time. It deserves my 10/10 rating.

I'll doubt the star power sha until her next project does good numbers at the box office. She doesn't even have any new projects lined up for next year. See the fraud you're defending.
Just because of small Barbie money, she's already going on sabbatical

@ bolded
I just noticed this statement.

I've noticed a trend in this thread where some people say things but refuse to back them up.

I said a movie has poor character work and gave my reasons...
You countered but you gave zero reason.

If you disagree with me on the characters...then give reasons...
We are supposed to discuss movies here...how can we do that when people make all sort of statements but refuse to back up these statements??



It's similar to the other guy on the series thread who said "the only thing good about AOT is Mikasa" but till today he has refused to defend that statement.

He simply says it's his opinion and it should be respected.

How can we respect your opinion if you can't even defend it?

At this point it feels like you just can't defend your opinion so you would rather cop out.

If you can't take the time to even write a few statements defending your views on the character writing in the movie, then it's clear your opinion is worthless and should be discarded.

Unless of course you are solely rating the movie out of your enjoyment and not out of a view of its quality. In that case, you should not attack those who are dissecting the quality of the movie

Y'all said the same thing last year while I was defending her. Now she don deliver, Una dey shift goalposts again. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Make na rest free my baby girl. She's been pretty busy these past two years (4 projects) with 2 films each for 2022 and this year. All these films with top acclaimed directors. No be anyhow peeps. E no easy na.

2024 is still very early and there's much time to shoot, edit and release a movie in the next 12 months.
She's also a producer for awards contender SALTBURN. πŸ˜‰ E no easy to be producer na. If she ain't acting, at least she's producing good content.

There's also an untitled Margot Robbie OCEAN'S ELEVEN film in development. She's starring just so you know. Correction, BARBIE money ain't small. She pocketed a cool $50mn for that movie. That's no small feat even for the biggest of the biggest A-listers. 😊 She deserves the rest.

Lol..
Everything the guy said is off..

As for the requitements, each character all has hatred for the empire.. mostly Revenge. That's why they got conned easily by the guy who betrayed them.

All dialogues are very very good..

And as for the plot..to those who don't understand it.. general Tarek literally spelt what to expect from other parts lol..

Rebel Moon.

Actually like it. Love the character development. The dialogue isn't what I'll hold my breath on, the action is above average. Love the fact they didn't make any of the lead characters superhuman, like having them kill 100 men without getting their ass wooped.

The movie is above average. I'll rate it 7.5/10. Although it gives a very strong vibe of The Magnificent Seven. All the same, I like it. πŸ‘Œ

First of all, I am that guy. I switched account cos this my main account got unbanned

When I talk about character work, I'm not talking soley about their motivations...I'm asking for them to be like actual characters and not just look cool.

Let's take Nemesis for example (she's the one who uses swords)...she being previously a mother seem to have sympathy for other mothers who have lost their children...
And she was against revenge...but rather joined to save lives...

Then General Titus the very next person they met was someone who had abandoned war and lost all motivation because of what he had lost. However guess how they convinced him? By selling their cause as revenge against the Empire...you can see the problem here when done in the presence of Nemesis...as she wouldn't have joined them if it was about revenge...

Not only that, but the entire conversation with him literally took like 30 seconds...

30 seconds to convince a man who had completely given up and was literally living on the street like a beggar/homeless man...
If this is not lazy character work, then tell me what is?

Let's look at Tarak, the dude who was a slave. His master said he'd let him join if Tarak was able to take the beast. But if he couldn't take the beast, they'd all become his slave.

Are you telling me that Kora was immediately willing to risk her freedom and become a slave just to recruit a man she just met...
A man she didn't know anything about...
All she asked was whether he could tame the beast and she risked everything on that gamble for just 1 man she had just met?
She risked everything, even the community she was trying to save...all for one man who ended up not even doing much

What is this writing??

How did she even meet him? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't he recommended by Kai another man she just met? And she immediately trusted that Tarak would tame it? Come on man...

And what's worse is that Tarak didn't really do much despite all that risk. Same as General Titus.

Finally, let's look at the robot introduced at the beginning...the robot was a former soldier and it was stated that it was programmed to give up on fighting once it's master died. And it wouldn't fight no matter what.
I found the robot pretty interesting at first, expecting an arc on the robot understanding humans through it's communications with humans...
But guess what? It was completely abandoned and forgotten until they decided to give us a "cool shot" of the robot at the end.

Synder's writing style imo seems to abandon character building and logic and instead focus on making "cool looking characters" and giving the audience "cinematic scenes"


Like I said in my review on my other account (Erenjp), the movie wasn't all that terrible...
Rather it needed more time...

If they reduced the slow mo and actually added an extra 30 minutes run time to build the characters then it would have been way better.

The movie is nowhere near a 10/10 and nowhere near a 2/10...
It has room for development but a lot of work is needed...

Your analysis about the characters is so so poor..

Go rewatch again and listen to the dialogues properly.

Tarek wasn't homeless nor a beggar.. you got too many things way so wrong..
