Bro, sometimes do you ever think to yourself that this site could have had a similar interface like Reddit? This guy seriously fumbled.
Exactly- every Nigerian could be using this site but Seun decided to gobble Twitter's balls and dump the site. And the thing is he could just do with some little tweaks to make it look modern enough to attract people. Some people don't use this site just because of how it looks? I can't believe this site still uses this fckin emojis cheesy to this day

Deadpool and wolverine 2024 is a solid 1/10 for me.

Most cringest movie i have ever seen in my life.
It's like these people don't even take us serious anymore, they just ride on the cult following of marvel and then keep giving us trash and junks.
When i keep saying that i am not a fan of super hero, the reason is because of marvel.

Marvel don't even rate us anymore.
Because how on earth does this Deadpool and wolverine makes sense?
Plot 0/10
Storyline 0/10
Dialogues 0/10
Jokes 0/10
The only good thing is the action but they just have to spoil it with so many cringe moments, like what the Fvck!!!

Nah!!!! These people ain't serious at all.

When i keep saying that DC superheroes movies have more mature storylines and plots than marvel, people kept attacking me.
😭😭😂 you went into the movie expecting mature storyline - a fckin Deadpool movie
I watched this movie three times in theatres and I laughed my ass off. Not all the jokes landed ofc but compared to other Hollywood comedies nowadays it was pretty brutal. A perfect 9/10 movie. If you go into the movie expecting great action sequences- amazing fourth wall breaks and a funny but stupid premise - you're in for a treat! People don't understand u have to think of Deadpool as a parody

I just watched Joker today by the way - a DC movie with 'more mature storylines' - the movie SUCKED balls and ass. 40% of the guys there left and some others were sleeping.

Now this is a pretty interesting premise from 94 yr old Clint Eastwood. !!

Now look at that cast. SEATED!!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlSAfbKuclM?si=JDbdZmeY-3-83KBm
Wait and we didn’t add this to the Oscar race With this cast! and a director that the Oscars should be honoring before he dies? Why's no one talking about it? Or is this just because of Eastwood political beliefs?

You watched "sing sing" right or you are just going via "the token movie with a black lead" narrative?
I've watched it and I gave my review here
Illusioneffect:
Movies I watched last week (I watched a lot)
7. Sing Sing - 7/10
It's a good movie but not Oscar worthy imo. Just like they did for American Fiction last year and Rustin - they need black guys in the Oscar race or else they'll be called Racists

Does he actually become the prince of crime in this movie? Do we finally get the Joker we've been waiting for, the Joker that can give Batman a hard time. I enjoyed his orogin story in the first one but now I want him to become HIM.

Finally saw Deadpool and Wolverine. Not only am I done with superhero movies, I'm also done with snarky characters in all media.

Did not enjoy. 4/10.

I thought it was a decent popcorn movie.

I didn't go in expecting any serious plot. Just the usual shut-off-your-brain-and-enjoy movie

None of the jokes landed too, but I still enjoyed the movie...
I didn't regret watching it...

The entire movie was breaking the fourth wall...all the criticism about Marvel...
Marvel indeed know what people are saying about them...

The whole multiverse thing never made sense, nor was it consistent.

The movie didn't even have a specific story, it was like he was dreaming and singing all throughout the film. Before you know it, the movie turned to a court room drama

I agree to disagree. 1billion dollars plus and you say its 1/10. Lol

PREDATOR (1987) 10/10
What can I say. It was frenetic. End to end face off between the creature and the valiant commandos who laid their lives to fight a common enemy. My best scene was the gun battle between the rebels and the commandos. It was grueling and the operation was tidy

Lol, there's only so much I could add and most of that was off the top of my head. There's at least up to 5 movies for possible awards race that we didn't add.

Yep, after watching the trailer it really looks like an awards contender and what the Academy would like.

A few chatter has been on for the film's hopes.... I think it's cos WB hasn't been doing a big marketing push for the movie cos I haven't heard about it's appearance in these film festivals. After the trailer and marketing ramp up we should start seeing something closer into the awards.

WB is setting up that movie as their Best Picture contender....so it ain't out of the chat.

Other titles to look at:

The Piano Lesson
Nickel Boys
Gladiator II
The Wild Robot
All We Imagine As Light (Best International Film)
We Live in Time (possibly)

Omo, me sef no know wetin dey occur so o.
I no even know wetin I wan use money wey I budget for am watch like dis.


But since I use money go watch Aquaman 2 for cinema this January out of curiosity. I fit still stick to am. But these ratings and word of mouth from many fans ain't encouraging at all.

Seems that decision to make it a musical hurt after all.
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Calibrator: 11:20am On Oct 02
I watch the Deadpool franchise mainly for the dialogues.

Imagine watching the latest installment "Deadpool and Wolverine" oblivious of where most of the remarks and references originated from, waste of peak! grin grin

You will be disappointed then.
This one is Courtroom drama + musical.
The first Joker was overrated anyway..
It had only one memorable scene

Lol. I don't agree with this sentiment

1. Things Fall apart already has a Nigerian adaption. It was a long time ago and I don't remember it very well, but a Nigerian adaption already exist.

2. The job of a actor is to interpret a script and bring it to life. The heavy lifting has already been done by Achebe. A good actor should be able to research and bring a character to life. If he has to live through an experience in order to act it out, then that person is a bad actor.

3. You don't need first hand experience to ''understands the culture deeply''. Most Nigerians are not familiar with pre-colonial Nigeria and anything they know about it, is from what they read or what the heard from a 3rd party.

4. The Nigerian movie industry seems to be mostly disinterested in telling pre-colonial stories or adaption of classic Nigerian literature. If Hollywood has to undertake this task for them, then the will make to to appeal to a a very broad audience. And one of the easiest ways of doing this is by hiring established actors who are households names. There will be people who will see a movie/series because Idris Alba is in it and not because they have any particular interest in the clash of ideologies that the coming of the white man to eastern Nigeria brought.

5. Idris Alba already has a solid repertoire of playing Africans characters. His performance in Beast of No Nation and Sometimes in April were both solid. Yes his accent will be off in the new movie, but I don't think it will ruin the movie.

The thing I agree with is that Nigerian movie makers are not doing well by refusing to do colonial stories. This why we have some simps here worshipping white women lol....

But I digress. Hollywood has never truly gotten Nigerian accents right. They usually have some propaganda. Just look at woman king- the Oyo empire were somehow the bigger slave trading villains than the Westerners. America will never put your country before theirs.

This is why we have to tell our stories. No one will do it well for you.

Which Nigerians are directing Hollywood movies? From Nollywood to Hollywood!! You got jokes bro!!

What is good for the goose is good for the gander. I dont expect a Nigerian director to direct WW2 movies about Jews as well. The Nigerian director can do it but he will be branded a racist in the likely event he mucks it up
