It seems most people haven't seen brightburn and Godzilla yet.

Both movies are okay.

Godzilla is a beautiful movie. 7/10. Good visuals and a great monster royal rumble.

Just saw Tully(2018, Charlize Theron) and The Professor (2018, Johnny Depp).

Love them both. Both are dramas.

Hollywood has Europeanised a middle eastern character. Aladdin is an Arab man, not European. The Princess also looks Spanish/Mexican instead of Arab/Asian.

Smh.

The actress that played princess jasmine is Indian (half)

It's really annoying. Same way they cast Scarlett Johansen in the role of Major in 'Ghost in the Shell.' I knew something was off about it, until someone told me here that it's a Japanese anime with Japanese characters.

I wonder why critics keep allowing them go scot-free with this rubbish.

grin guy na horror movie I was even expecting a more crazy explanation for where the dopplegangers came from.

First of all is it the agalazi black panther goofy dad you want to have a gun or the drunk white family?
Secondly they were visiting their vacation houses which I don't think it will be wise to carry their guns along considering how police get with things like that and knowing jordan peele, the movie was an allegory how the rich silence and oppress the poor with their wealth and resources (the rich being the normal people and the poor/homeless being the clones) that's why their weapons were golf clubs and boats and suvs synonymous to luxury


Well there was a title card in the beginning where they said there are over a million abandoned tunnels in america besides,I won't be surprised if american gov't once tried to control humans using clones, they have the resources and they Are crazy enough to do that



Nah guy watch it again and concentrate on the story he is telling ignore the violence and the plot and I promise you will be thrilled



You see you don dey get am small small watch it again

For the fact that they use (I got 5 on It by the Luniz) as a suspense theme in a high tension scene literally turned it to a comedy for me.

Imagine using one of Migos songs as theme music in The Conjuring.
This people made Hans Zimmer to look like a demi-God.

You're the one that's wrong. Google the actor and actress, they both have Asian or Arabian ancestry.

First appearance matters. When I look at the dude who played Freddie Mercury, he looks every bit middle-eastern. Same with Mowgli. I can't mistake Mowgli for a white kid. I look at this fellow and he looks Caucasian. C'mon, you have seen the original source material. Did Aladdin look remotely European? I should be able to identify a character's race, especially when it based on an Arabian character.

Either that or whoever took the promotional photo did a piss poor job.

The lady that played Princess Jazmine caused a bit of an uproar, but I don't think such was heard of concerning Aladdin. Below is the pic of the actor, doesn't he look Arabic to you?

IMO, while Schindler's List deserved and won 7 Oscar awards, Liam's portrayal of Schindler was not too 'wowing' as to win an Oscar award. The storyline, the directing and general brilliance of the film (using black and white format to tell the story) were the main ingredients that made that movie a classic, not Liam's acting.

Yes, his acting in Schindler's List, might not have been spectacular, but as regards Tom Hanks performance in Philadelphia, I'd say Liam Neeson was a better act & deserved it most.

The rating for Dark Phoenix is so discouraging. 20%.Jesu Kristi!! Marvel don begin fall my hands. First, Captain Marvel, now, Dark Phoenix. Na wa o.


Las las, na to wait for Hobbs and Shaw.

Honestly, I've been shocked ever since i confirmed the ratings for myself, still can't shake it off.

I still maintain it was poorly written & here are my reasons.

According to the 2017 world wide civilian firearms ownership, United States of America civilians owned 393,347,000. In April and May 2018, U.S. civilians bought 4.7 million guns, which is more than all the firearms stockpiled by the United States military. Also, Between 2012 and 2017, U.S. civilians bought 135 million guns, 2 million more guns than the combined stockpile of all the world's armed forces. . With the above statists, it'll be impossible for a drunk white or a successful black hefty nigger not to own one.

They necessarily don't have to carry it along, they should probably have kept in their vacation house for protection.



said something similar to this at the end of my review.




The doppelgangers, million of 'em were living in abandoned tunnels in america and for once, nobody from the surface ever ventured into the tunnels either for fun or for maintenance work, so nobody ever saw nothing all those years?? I quite get the allegory jordan peele was trying to pitch here, but they could have done a better job with the idea.



If your reference to clones is solely based on the movie then what you've just said is on point,but if you're referring to the real world application, I'm sorry to inform you that as for human cloning we haven't gotten there yet, it's probably a long term futuristic project & besides, it's banned in most countries, at least, i know In the United States, fifteen states prohibit reproductive cloning of any kind.





I get the story & the message jordan peele was trying to pass across, but i still think it fell short in quite a number of ways & wasn't as good as his other work Get out, abi i lie??




You will be very surprise what's going on underground, there is a different world down there, it's a rabbit hole I don't want to go into, but believe you me cloning has already reached advance stage.

You should try and listen to Alex Jones, he has been banned from Twitter, he has been removed from YouTube, he only uses his web site now, when he first blew the whistle that the US government were selling babies body parts and organs everyone thought he was crazy, but soon after it was like he was right all this time.

He also blew a whistle about human clonning some years back.

I think the name of his show was called Info Wars (don't know if it's STIL running l on CNN)
You may try to search Alex Jones on human clonning on Google, but I doubt there will be search results on this since the all the search engines on the open web are censored.
But you can find the answers if you use the deep web.

That's lowest rating I've seen from a Marvel movie.


But then again, I might still see it at the cinema since Rotten Tomatoes are no longer reliable. I mean, they gave Captain Marvel a high rating despite it being a shitty movie, what's to say that Dark Phoenix won't be a good movie even if given a low rating by the fraudulent RT?

Yes buh in the wake of shootings and gun control protests, liberals and SJWs don't own fire arms and its safe to say that winston duke and the white dude belong to this category of americans

Yea I was just trying to tell u that it was another reason guns weren't included to their list of weapons

Ah ah first off, it is an abandoned tunnel, what are you maintaining there? The tethers was a failed experiment by the gov't so they definitely wouldn't give the public access to the tunnels, if adelaide's clone didn't stray away that night, they would have still remained a secret

Disney is hoping lightning will strike twice on the same spot, they are hoping the whole Aladin thing will have the same success as when Robin Williams played the lead roll of the genie, so they think it can happen with the main screen.

Pls allow them make a fool of Will Smith, he should go and learn from Keanu Reeves about John Wick.

Check out their looks man, in the movie. They could have cast pure Asian and Arabic acts for the roles (although taking a good look at the actor one can see that he does look Arabic), that would have been better. o.pussy was somehow right, Hollywood are guilty of taking a prominent characters of a certain race and changing them into something western. See what they did with gods of Egypt.

Alex Jones, the conspiracy theorist??, i'll pass jare. The dude just talks anyhow, he lack definitive proof of all he says. The same Jones who said the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012 and the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in 2018 were staged & engineered by gun control advocates that in fact, no one died. My brother, believe that joker at your own peril.

@Forreellinc, if Adelaide's clone can wander off like that into the real world, don't you think that out of millions of other clones in the sewers, thousands will wander off and get to the real world? Or do they have to get and replace their doppelgangers before they can live in the real world?

Octopussy was somehow right, I agree, and she's right on the actress that was used not the actor. There was a major uproar because she's half-Indian and Princess Jasmine was of Arabic ancestry in the novel. They got that totally wrong.

Yes, Hollywood are guilty of that, and even when they use the same race, they ignore the actors from that continent. For example, I feel it's a travesty casting Whittaker as the voodoo priest in Black Panther when we have African actors resident in Africa that would've pulled off that role better than Whittaker. Pete Edochie would've been a better option. But they don't trust African-based actors. It's disrespectful. That's the same way that Arabs lashed out against Aladdin because Disney neglected Arabian actors and actresses based in Asia for their European based ones.

And so also the whole of the US living above the tunnels who we saw get massacred by their doppelgangers, they were all liberals and SJWs right?, that's why none of 'em owned a gun to defend themselves. You know the flick made us understand that it was only adelaide & her family that actually made a kill.

Lolz..The popular American conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, had 50 firearms, abeg, na for waist he day carry all of them??




Ah ah first off, it is an abandoned tunnel, what are you maintaining there? The tethers was a failed experiment by the gov't so they definitely wouldn't give the public access to the tunnels, if adelaide's clone didn't stray away that night, they would have still remained a secret


All am simply trying to say its impossible to conceal such a thing for such a long time. So are you trying to say that all through the existence of the tunnel, no one but adelaide has ever strayed mistaken into the tunnels, vice versa the clones?.
