I was a fan, then I wasn't. When she started behaving like trash, I lost interest. Now, whenever I see her in a movie, I'm more likely not to take that movie serious enough.

I disliked her so much during the emboldened era. Hated her guts during that era, but gradually started liking her again. I still prefer the RiRi of old times to this recent RiRi. On her acting skills, she's not a good actress. Most directors insert these celebs into their films for their fame not their acting skills.

It's good oo. Obviously not as well written as Succession, but it did it's own thing, and did it well. You will definitely like it.

Succession is up to how many seasons? Let me see if I can follow it.

Rihanna sucks as an actress jare. She has a unique singing voice that used to drive me mad with lust. Not anymore. Sia (the Australian singer/songwriter that penned Rihanna's hits) is the new vocal Nightingale in my life right now.

Sia is on a whole higher level, mehn. Any song her voice graces turns into gold. She's got the Midas touch, no doubt.

Spot on with your analysis, but most movies have unrealistic scenes, we just sorta enjoy it anyway.

I quite agree with you that most stunts in movies nowadays are unrealistic, but the few realistic ones kinda gives a movie that unique value & worth. Take a look at these following movies and you'll agree with me on this.

1)Tom cruise in MI GHOST PROTOCOL ( scaling the 161 floor building of the Burj khalifa building)

2)Jackie chan In WHO AM I (scaling that glass building with nothing more than his ass)

3)David Belle in DISTRICT 12 & DISTRICT 12 ULTIMATUM ( his parkour skills are priceless in the two aforementioned movies

4)Isla Fisher in NOW YOU SEE ME( her impersonation of Harry Houdini escape act in the aquarium)

5)Tony Jaa in ONG- BAK 1&2 ( the scene were the dude ran under a moving vehicle)...etc.

Now, that's what I'm talking about! A rating backed by a well laid out analysis. Bravo.

You forgot the worst plothole of the lot, though. In fact, the plot of the whole movie hinged on a huge plothole. Check this out: the villain's gang wanted to obtain a tablet that would allow them gain admin access to the building. The tablet can only be unlocked via facial recognition, and was keyed ONLY to Dwayne's face. Much later, the hot asian girl on finally forcefully acquiring the tablet from Dwayne, proceeded to unlock it by holding it up to his face. Pretty straightforward, right? So what's the problem?

Here's the kicker... the plot hiccup: The villain's gang stole the backpack that is supposed to house the tablet earlier in the movie, remember? So why go through the trouble of attempting to steal the tablet, when without Dwayne to unlock it, the tablet would have been useless anyhow?

This gigantic plot blunder ruined the movie for me, after which I gave it a 4, only because I'm a generous grader.




I totally agree with you boss

I've listened to it over 4 years ago. Chandelier opened my eyes to Sia's uncommon artistry and talent and I've been a staunch fan ever since. After listening to Chandelier, I explored the vast world of Sia's magical music and became addicted to her. Nowadays, I watch ANY movie based SOLELY on the act that Sia was on the OST, because you can never ever go wrong with that genius. What a woman.

True words. That's why I'm a big an of Chan and Cruise, their stunts are realistic, learned over several hours of practice, they even end up injured in many cases. I'm yet to watch number 3, though. Is it interesting?

If you remember further, the villain's and his gang did not know that the tablet unlocks with Dwayne's face. Therefore, their initial intention was to ONLY steal it. But they only got to later realize that the tablet was locked with Dwayne's face after getting the tab from him. I don't see any plot hole there.

You don't know how security encryption works, do you?

The villain wanted to set a state-of-the-art skyscraper on fire. To do that however, he required a complete access to the building, an admin access specifically. He knew how the skyscraper's security system works. But how? He had a mole working for the billionaire. The mole must have fed him everything regarding the security. Since, he told the villain about the tablet, he must have also told him about the facial encryption. And even if he didn't, a guy with half a brain would have known that an admin security tablet must require some sort of state-of-the-art security encryption to unlock. If not, why go through the trouble of trying to steal the tablet when it would have been much simpler to have it hacked (or the building) remotely?

Huge plothole.

Ridiculous. I was stupefied, believe me. I initially tried making excuses for them, like maybe they initially didn't know about the facial recognition, then I was like, what's the point then? I mean, why go through all that trouble when you can just hack the building straightup? But they couldn't, could they? They needed the tablet, and since they knew the the tablet's special privileges, they must have known about the encryption as well. Thus. the tablet would have been useless to them without the keyed face to unlock it. I mean, it's simple logic.

Emm... not really. Sure, James Corden (popular british tv host, writer, actor and producer) did some stunts in the Bourne movies, but none really worked out. Only one of his stunts passed muster, and was used.

A little backstory. James Corden landed a gig in the first Bourne movie, and showed up at the movie set not knowing what his role was. He only knew that him and Matt looked alike (anatomically, not facially). When Matt finally told him he wanted him to be his stuntman, he was too intrigued to refuse (even though he's not a professional stuntman). And it cost him. He ended up fracturing his johnson along with other injuries. Eventually, a number of professional stunt doubles were hired, including the renowned stuntman, Martin Ivanov.

And btw, The best fight scene of the movie franchise involving Bourne and Desh was done by Matt himself. He mostly did fight scenes himself, but used stunt doubles for more risky maneuvers like jumping from buildings, etc.
