Unbroken directed by Angelina Jolie comes to mind. Decent actress, but has zero chops as a director.

Have you watched her other stuff -

First they came for my father
In the land of blood and honey?

I've seen Unbroken, By the Sea, A Place in Time, and In The Land of Blood and Honey.

Funnily enough, In The Land of Blood and Honey is another typical example of a good story pummeled by mediocre-esque directing.

I haven't seen First They Came For My Father, but I've heard of it. I reckon it won't be very different from her antecedents. Could be wrong though.

her acting is even questionable. She isn't so decent at it. But I don't think Unbroken was that bad. It only seemed rush with cheap CGIs

I saw Joker today at film House

Some viewers left before the film ended. They told me it was too dry and empty. Nollywood don brainwash many Nigerians.

I don't think it's a masterpiece but it's a decent work and Phoenix is very good in it. He should better win that Oscar o

A lot of Nigerians have a bad taste in movies due to nollywood and bollywood movies.

Movie is subjective..Just because they they found it boring doesn't mean they have bad taste....

Joker is not overrated.

Joaquin Phoenix's acting was clearly special. It clearly showed a lot of dedication and hardwork towards the character. The tragedy was compelling and the message about mental illness is clear.

The overall rating might be subjective. However, the movie is objectively not boring. It would be like arguing that inception is not an intelligent film.

I'm sorry, if you find joker 2019 to be boring or overrated (note that the film faced a lot if criticism), you clearly have a bad taste in movies. Period.

There will always be people who want to feel special by irrationally going against public consensus just for its sake. There are people who dislike avengers movies. Those people are nothing but trolls and flat earth level losers.

Nollywood and Bollywood have nothing to do with anyone's taste in movies. And not liking Joker doesn't mean they have bad taste in movies or have been brainwashed.

Never said Unbroken was a bad film. With a half decent director that know their onions, I'm certain the end product would have been a well rounded flick. The story was compelling.

Angelina Jolie is a good actress IMO, perhaps not what you would call a raw talent, but good enough.

if movie is objective, then overall ratings should not be subjective. objective something is a proven something.....something that can't be questioned....a factual something.

tell me what is factual about joker

Nollywood and Bollywood have nothing to do with anyone's taste in movies. And not liking Joker doesn't mean they have bad taste in movies or have been brainwashed.


1. People who have nollywood as their main genre of movies tend to favour movies with simplistic plots and overacting. Drama. That same logic works with people that seriously watch reality tv, they tend to be less intelligent.

2. Not liking joker is not the problem. The problem is the reason for not liking it and how it is expressed.

I dont like romance movies because I am not romantic as a personal bias. However, I will still applaud a good romance film. I did not like 500 days of summer but I will always point out that it was a good movie.

Now, the people saying that the joker is boring or overrated cannot get out of their own personal bias. You might not like the joker but dont bring it down based solely on your own bias.

There is a difference between a tree, many trees and a forest. If there are 10 beautiful trees in a forest, does that mean that the forest is beautiful? Imagine if there were 100 trees on the forest.


The whole is more than its parts

The summary is that the actor's (Joaquin Phoenix) performance was great and the haunting score with the tragic themes made the movie interesting. However, a movie is rated on more than one actor's performance and the movie's themes.

Note that even critics who hated the film still praised Joaquin Phoenix's performance. That and the increasing levels of violence and madness made the movie interesting.
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Nobody: 8:57am On Oct 30, 2019
you want to decide whether to watch a movie, you can

1) read the reviews
2) watch the preview
3) find your friends of like mind. i like star wars, but if i wanted to discuss the merits of a star wars movie, i would ask from a geek.

different people are looking for different things from movies. some are looking for a story, some are looking for action,

no point in any quasi intellectual superiority complex.

one could also say that watching movies is just a from of escapism for weak minded people who want to un tether from their reality
