Revenge. I wonder how she survived that fall. The impact should have broken her spine couple with losing too much blood. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Nobody: 6:24am On May 21, 2018 |
J2381:I thought I was the only one that noticed that too.. That was my main reason I deleted the movie midway.. I know it's a movie but u don't take ur viewers for fools... We ain't fools.. Even if she was to survive, she was supposed to die of too much lost of blood. Because she wasn't given any medical attention a d blood transfusion. Revenge 3/10..{the 3is for the good graphics and a actings |

krattoss:there's absolutely no way she could have survived, I mean the wound should have been infected. It was open for pete's sake. Talkless she swimming in an infected water and bleeding. Gosh! I really laughed at the producer(s) though. They really wanted to make another I Spit On Your Grave but failed tremendously. |

krattoss: If we are to follow your line of thought, then no film is worthy of finishing. You watched Black Panther to the end, right? Well, you'd have quit from the beginning because they took us for fools. Wakanda does not exist. None of the characters exists. Vibraniun is a lie. The flower that automatically heals people does not exist. There's no real recorded of the fight scenes in Tokyo. There no human that can climb buildings or survive bullet shots wearing one imaginary Vibranium vest. So, Films are fictions. Even the ones based on real events are garnished with some acts or storyline that never happened to add a bit of flavour to it. 1 Like |

Beorn: I have not watched revenge, but you can't conpare it with Black Panther. BP is fantasy, revenge is not so they are suppose to be factual and logical to nature. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Emekus92(m): 8:47am On May 21, 2018 |
Beorn: and who told you black panther is a true life story? |

Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Beorn: 9:16am On May 21, 2018 |
Emekus92: I can ask you the same for Revenge because you haven't showed us who told you it's a real life story. |

oyetpel: Revenge and BP are both fiction and not real life story. Black Panther was pushed off a cliff in a human state and yet miraculously survived, got rescued by a wandering rival tribesman and stayed in a state of coma till healed by a magical flower. Both films are fictions whether fantasy or not. The entertainment level is what will differ due to individual choices. |

Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by oyetpel(m): 9:30am On May 21, 2018 |
Beorn: Don't confuse yourself. Do you want to compare say, 24 hours series to Agents of shield? Black Panther is a fantasy movie that involves superheros with superhuman powers. Did revenge characters have superhuman powers? So things like vibranium, purple leave can't find it's way into a movie that deals with realities of normal human beings. Genres like fantasy, sci fi, sometimes action movies can't be taken seriously because of fake stunts, supernatural, effects in them. But a movie like Den of thieves, romance movies, comedy, drama are films that are logical and deal with realistic actions and behaviours. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Emekus92(m): 9:35am On May 21, 2018 |
Beorn: Non of them are real they are all fiction. I'm not interested in the movie |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Beorn: 9:48am On May 21, 2018 |
oyetpel: You're missing the whole point. The point I'm trying to make is both are fictions and not real. OK, since your problem is about the genre of fantasy being included, let's take it to another genre. You've watched or heard about films like Rambo and Schwarznegger's Commando where a single person takes on a battalion of solders and wipes them out while not dying at the end. Please, care to explain how "logical" that sounds to you? Why haven't a single soldier killed all Boko Haram since it's logical in films? What about Jet Li films where people fight in air, use knife to defend rain of arrows? Is that a fantasy genre too? But we all loved it. At the end of the day, they're all lies. All fictions. We just watched for fun. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Beorn: 9:48am On May 21, 2018 |
Emekus92:Exactly what I'm pointing out. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Beorn: 9:53am On May 21, 2018 |
Oyetpel, what about Brad Cooper's Limitless? Is that drug real? Is the movie a fantasy too? Yet we enjoyed it. The point is all those films are fake, they're fictions. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by oyetpel(m): 9:57am On May 21, 2018 |
Beorn: Limitless is a fantasy movie. Most sci fi movies are fantasy. That drug have altered normal human behaviour giving him a superhuman mind, so it has crossed the line to a fantasy. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by oyetpel(m): 10:02am On May 21, 2018 |
Beorn: Koice your input is needed, come and weigh in on the matter. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Beorn: 10:41am On May 21, 2018 |
oyetpel: Ok, have you watched The Babysitter? It's a Netflix horror movie. In short, horror movies are not fantasy movies, right? So how are they logical? Another one. Fast and furious, are they in sci-fi or fantasy genre? The answer is a fat no. So how come the cars were moving through air from one skyscraper to another in Fast Furious 7? Is that possible? But yet people are watching it till the end and gushing about how amazing it was even when they knew the directors are lying to us all. You see, if we are looking for logic, very few films are worth seeing. ![]() ![]() |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Beorn: 10:43am On May 21, 2018 |
The Babysitter. 5/10 What a foolish and childish horror movie but somewhat I find it funny. ![]() ![]() |

Ferrenheit 451 Mind fvckery and Sci fi ain't my thing but this one caught me. It got me glued on my screen from start to finish. All Sci fi and mind fvckery lovers will definitely love this.. Am on a herculean task to read all the novels and mind blowing books featured In that movie including our own HALF OF A YELLOW SUN Michael b Jordan will definitely make a good actor.. Ferrenheit 451 9.5/10 ![]() Forgive me if am over exergereting |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Beorn: 12:44pm On May 21, 2018 |
krattoss: All the reviews I've read about the movie rated it very lowly. I'll rather wait it out and see more testimonies from other people than end up wasting my MB. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Nobody: 12:56pm On May 21, 2018 |
Beorn:it's a good drama sci-fi movie based on a novel.. U will like it |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by oyetpel(m): 1:09pm On May 21, 2018 |
Beorn: I said some action movies are fantasy where i mentioned fake stunts. For example, Fast and furious, everyone have this fantasy of racing with their car(s) at crazy speeds which was what the movie is based on. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Nobody: 1:33pm On May 21, 2018 |
oyetpel: First, let's break it down a bit, shall we? Movies are classified into 8 major categories (genre) - Action. - Adventure. - Comedy. - Crime - Drama. - Epics/Historical. - Horror. - Musicals/Dance. and 2 major subgenre, there are others but these 2 are the major ones: - Fiction (sci-fi, fantasy, supernatural) - Biography (true story) Subgenre can also double as themes (the soul of a film or literature), and as such can completely alter the identity of a genre. For instance, when you have a musical movie with a biography subgenre, what does that say? The answer is simple enough... it's not a fiction, period. The plot might have been slightly tampered with to make the story flow better on screen, but the fact remains it is based on an actual true story. The Greatest Showman is a musical but clearly defined by it's biography theme. Bottom line, it's not a fiction. Then, you have a action oriented movies like the Fast & Furious franchise & Revenge. In the case of the later, as the plot played out on screen, what became instantly apparent? It isn't real. Most of what transpired aren't scientifically possible at all. From her fall, to her mortal injuries, to her remarkably quick recovery, to her commando-styled revenge on her assailants, I mean, who even taught her how to shoot anyway?... But, don't let that stop you from watching it, because the thriller is exactly what it's made to be: an action fiction flick, the fiction here being the subgenre, and thus the soul. In other words, the plot was weak by design, because it facilitated the theme to the fullest - it's meant to be a mindless adrenaline rush kind of a movie, you know, the kind that leaves you at the edge of your seat. You aren't supposed to overthink it, just relax and enjoy the ride. If you want believable stuff, then it'll do you good to avoid action oriented fictions as a whole and stick to Non-action fiction and biography. Btw, 24 is also fictitious. 85% of what transpired onscreen were an amalgram of bad science and bullsh*t. But hey, Jack is fighting terrorists, and terrorism is real so 24 must be factual! The truth: if a quarter of what happened in that tv show were to happen in real life, United States would have become another Chechnya, and Jack will be with his forefathers long before that. It's just as fictional as say Agent of Shield, the difference being in the later, it's less subtle. 2 Likes |
