Some complained that it is childish... I wonder if they expect teens and preteens to be spouting Freudian philosophy. This is basically a super hero movie from the perspective of young teens. It's all in order.

I too am looking forward to the sequel.

My fav scene is the part where Shazam and Freddie pop open cans of beer, take big mouthsful and instantly spit it out. Shazam now says "[i]THAT really tasted like ass".[/i]

I brayed laughter all over the place cheesy Being an adult is no joke grin


Now I have this kinda look at you.. my kinda babe. Let's get naughty.

Nice. cheesy

Martin McDonagh is such an underrated filmmaker, albeit, he has only done four movies, with Three Billboards being his first real standout.

Since you obviously love his brand of humor, you might wanna give the more whimsical stuff of the Coen brothers a looksee.
- No Country for Old Men
- Burn After Reading,
- O Brother Where Art Thou,
- Fargo

His brother, John Michael McDonagh, is also an excellent playwright/filmmaker, and his couple of independent productions; Guard and Calvary, are dark comedic masterpieces.

Thanks. I have downloaded the bolded because of the great reviews I saw online. I will look for the others to downloaded.

Martin reminds me a bit of Tarantino, mostly because of the often totally irreverent nature of their characters' dialogue. No subject is too taboo for them to discuss. It is very unique, albeit jarring

It only did well because of avengers. Had it been a standalone marvel film, it would have flopped.


Shazam remains the original captain marvel. tongue

Marketing 101. Everyone wanted to see Avengers endgame putting Captain marvel a month before Avengers and hinting that it had certain clues to the avengers equals big box office money.

Shazam is a higher rated movie.

Saw the movie "what happened to Monday" yesterday.

Nice movie, nice story, concept and application, directing is a little bit poor.

In all, I rate it 6/10

And how do you know some of the best Nollywood stars aren't ready to put in the work? Why do y'all just love projecting your laziness on others?

You don't expect someone that is used to shooting and concluding movies within weeks, to have the same mentality with someone that takes months just to get his body into shape (we are talking without cameras here).
How many of your so called Nollywood stars are ready to put their health on the line for a character in a movie?

Do you know that the entire cast of the first Predator were in the jungle for months? Sometimes there were bugs in their food that they had to eat?
Compare that with your Nollywood that have camps for movies that the stars are well taken care of.

And how long do you think a movie production last in Nollywood?
do you know some productions can't afford to hire cameras for months for a proper shoot?

It's irrelevant weather they are ready to put in the work, according to them they are already working hard in Nollywood (that's if you listen to their interviews).

A rock can never be a diamond weather it's lazy or not.
You should get a full grasp of what you are talking about before you start popping off.

I agree with you.

My own concern is that the Nigerian government should invest in the entertainment industry.

There should be film schools to teach both acting and directing. We have multimillion naira industry that we export (our films are watched all over Africa) and yet the government does nothing to maximize it.

Do you know how naive you sound? Nigerian government that hasn't successfully improved prestigious aspects of the national life are who you expect to venture into entertainment?

I just think it's greed,
my boss runs a football academy and I know how much he spends to feed the players daily.
In most developed countries its the individuals that make the difference not the government, that's why I say it's Greed on the part of the people that can make it happen.

The government is just a point of authority, it cant stop you from bringing innovation and chasing it to fruition.

The Hollywood it's self came into existence without the help of the Government, the biggest business brands in the world today came from individuals.

I read somewhere that during the great depression in the US the rich polled their resources together to help out. Could you say the same about Nigeria?

But ask your self what are the community building projects or talent hunts that our Billionaires in this country have been involved with?
I don't know how many Billionaires can boast of running a football academy or a talent hunt program like the guys in other developed countries.
But if it's to have petrol companies and other conglomerates in other countries, Nigerian Billionaires are up there.

if it's to pour millions into a ret@rded project like BB Naija, you will find sponsors rushing up and down like demented cows.
Half of that money can uncover real gems in a country with vast potential like Nigeria.

I still can't believe that most populous black nation on the planet could not even produce one (1) cast for Black Panther, oh OK, the Director is a racist - what do I know.

It's not the Government Bro.

Triple Frontier - 9/10

I rate it that high because of the character of these men, and like one the star cast said, these types of men are dying a breed.

They left everything for the family of one that was killed, how many men have these kind character that exist today, such men are a dying breed.

You dont see movies about how real men stay true to each other till the very end like this.

If our students/workers that are average here can excel overseas, why can't our actors do the same? So you think if you tell a Nigerian that you'll be paying them $100,000 (#36,500,000) for a role, that they wouldn't put their all into that character? They'll milk anacondas if they have to. Talmabout getting in shape, when boys go to the gym just to impress girls with 6pac abs.

Compare that with your Nollywood that have camps for movies that the stars are well taken care of.
Was it the cast that went into the jungle of their own accord or the production team that took them there? Haven't Nollywood actors followed their producers and directors everywhere to shoot movies? Is it Hollywood stars that are not well taken care of? Even their drivers get mentioned in the movie credits?

And how long do you think a movie production last in Nollywood?
do you know some productions can't afford to hire cameras for months for a proper shoot?
So you know it's more or less the studio's fault and yet you're blaming the actors? And you say you have sense like this?

It's not irrelevant whether they're ready to put in the work. It's very relevant. It means they just need a well-funded and experienced studio and production team to bring out the best in them.
A diamond is basically a lump of rock that's been refined to that beautiful state you see it. Looks like you're the one who needs a better grasp of what he's talking about before popping off

Really?

Have you been to a Nollywood camp before?
Has any Nollywood actor/actress landed in the hospital because the hazard of playing a character?

Do they take the character to their personal lives that they even stop to responding to their own name?

Has they been any drastic transformation in their physical attributes?

Can they study a new language for the sake of their job?

Have they been a drastic change in accents in stereotypical character?

You think it's all about money?

You cant give what you don't have no matter the amount you are paid.

The most successful Nollywood stars have been acting like they do for more than a decade and they are famous here, so you think you can suddenly turn them into the Hollywood way of acting like a light switch.

So you think they will suddenly switch from a habit that has acquired them fame and fortune at the drop of the hat.

You talk about a studio that will bring out the best in them, so suddenly your brain started working. the studios here have already made them famous and rich, so what are you blabbing about?
Why should they switch to another studio that will risk their health, take so much time and energy from them?

Am sure you won't understand where am going with this.
