Simping isn't a thing for the general public, simps fall mostly to whoever holds their "mumu button". In Napoleon's case, Josephine was that person.

What I'm trying to say in earnest is that Napoleon was a bloody simp
Actually simping is mostly a general thing. Simp mostly refers to the guys who'd do anything for any averagely attractive female in hopes of her rewarding them with her affection and some crumbs of coochie.

Then there's the guys like Napoleon who hold frame for most women but lose all sense for their Josephine.

Omo I shock say this kind thing dey come from that account. I've been following the page for a while and its really surprising the distaste this guy had for Reynolds. Fine, Reynolds no dey bothered about acting or showing range other than making jokes but this guy takes this sh茂t to a whole new level.

I saw this!馃槀 Someone in the comments said maybe Reynolds bullied him in school馃槀. Some people just don't understand movies enough in my opinion, not every actor is meant to star in 'serious' movies.
Would the guy say Jim Carrey is less of an actor than let's say Cillian Murphy because he plays only comedic roles. He is doing what he does best and his bank account tells him how successful he's doing everyday.
Some people think comedy's child's play. It's very very difficult to play comedy - good comedy and every he's played has been done well - I actually liked Red Notice and loved Free Guy.
Plus the guy own several companies - billion dollar companies o like Aviator Gin, Mint Mobile one mattress company and even Co owns a football team and all became successful when he came on board! So the guy has a lot to manage to give space for a Twitter troll

Lol, Netflix movies have a reputation to be useless 95% of the time. It's only in TV series they measure up to the others.
Although, with a new executive in the film division things looks to change.

Seems this one just slipped through the door and it was already green lit before the commitment to stop making garbage flicks.

Hoping the recent resolve, leads to better quality projects, if for anything, to justify the ridiculous spiral increase in sub prices they have been on lately.

Fall Guy....... 5/10


An extremely mediocre movie
The literal definition of "shut-off-your-brain-and-watch"

I didn't go in expecting some serious plot...but at least have the decency to make something suitable for anyone above 12.

Even for popcorn movies, there's a limit to which I can shut off my brain.
Nothing in this movie makes any sense...from the story to the characters acting like the biggest id卯ots...

The writing is extremely laughable even for an unserious movie...

Apparently you can now fake your death by crashing a boat and leaving behind only your cloth...
No body, no teeth, nothing, just a piece of clothing and everyone including the police somehow believe you're dead...ok...

I get it's supposed to be a comedy that makes no sense...but still at least show some signs that you take your audience seriously...

I expected more from the director of Bullet Train

Challengers.....7/10


Zendaya's character deserves to suffer for all she did. Such a manipulator and a disgusting person.

It was quite annoying watching the 2 guys s卯mp for such a disgusting woman/mother all because they thought she was s猫xy...

This movie was just a Zendaya w脿nk fest. She didn't even fit the role of a mother although that was likely done on purpose to show how terrible of a mother the character was...

However the parts that did catch my interest was the relationship between the two friends and I love the fact that it concluded with them enjoying playing tennis against each other...

Zendaya also got to relive her prime years before her injury by watching them play "high level tennis"
She deserved worse...
We needed to see them d没mp her 脿ss...
It shouldn't have been open ended...

One big issue I had with the movie tho was the tennis...
I know the highlight of the movie were the character relationships told through the medium of a low level tennis game...but it felt to me like very little effort was put into the game...

I'm not going to pretend to be a tennis expert and I rarely watch the game...but the tennis I know is not just characters slamming the ball almost directly at each other...
No attempt at placing, etc...

Felt like watching complete amateurs play...

The final showdown made no sense from a game standpoint with 2 players hitting the ball at each other while they both stayed so close to the net so many times...

That's absolutely not possible in real tennis...and makes absolutely no sense

I thought we would see Zendaya getting gangb脿nged on TV but they didn't do that scene

You have just witnessed the antics of a riff raff cloning my account.

You may have noticed three different mental patient type monikers posting shit on this thread. They are in the words of - Mariah obsessed with me. It is also possible they are one person.

Stay sharp. If in doubt check the profile. While imitation is the sincerest form of homoerotic lovelorn flattery, this clown has significantly less than my 14000 posts and he was registered two days ago.

I beat his arse so bad he know trails me up and down NL with a massive boner, looking for me to fk him again.

The little cunt is using the moniker gioriousgbola - with an I. Probably because the stalker bitch read on a thread where we eventually found one of us moniker started with i not l.

I am saying this because the faiked yahoo boy is too stupid to have thought this cloning on his own.

You know how it is. Some bitch arse niggaz just want to feel the tip of the gloriousgbola knocking on their soft palate.

Hypnotic ..........6.8/10


Watching this movie, I can see why some rated it very low and some others felt it was okay.

I think most of the people who gave this movie like 2/10 didn't get past the 40 minutes mark.

The first 40-50 minutes or so felt like the worst movie I'd seen in 2023...
I knew there had to be a twist, cos the movie couldn't be that bad...

I had several ideas for the twist including the Rourke being the bad guy or that Lev Dellrayne didn't exist...etc

I hoped the twist would somehow explain the bad writing decisions and make everything make sense

The twist came and everything did make sense


However this movie still suffers from an execution problem. The idea isn't bad, but the execution had problems. A lot of the plot points were set up earlier...a lot was foreshadowed but when it came to the execution, it wasn't done well

A major plot issue here is how hypnotics powers work. I believe it was said that they manipulate through the brain...i.e make people see a different version of reality.
For some weird reason this hypnosis seems to work on someone miles away even before they were in any close proximity. For example the division agents were under the hypnosis of Rourke's daughter right from miles away in Helicopters even without them being anywhere near contact.
It's even likely that she hadn't met many of them ever in her life, yet they were already under her hypnosis.
Things like this break the entire rules and power system set up previously


For the twist, while the twist could be said to be good, everything that came after was badly executed and mostly predictable. The plan of Rourke had many holes in it...same as that of the division
E.g Rourke being allowed by the Division to take his daughter away. For someone they were grooming that way with so much plans, there was no reason to let her out of their sights. Anything could happen, her parents could hide her, she could be involved in a random accident, a third party with spies in the division could take her etc

It makes no sense that an agency like that with their high tech didn't have a decryption AI to decrypt a code like Lev Dellrayne being very similar to the name of a street?
That they somehow had no info about his past that he lived with surrogate parents for many years?

Rourke's plan to lure every division agent out to kill them was laughable


He somehow bet that an entire agency would send every single agent out to get him? And they wouldn't have any more agents at their base?
If he killed the ones that came, shouldn't they have more to send after him?

He somehow bet that they wouldn't snipe him out of their helicopter or car? But instead all would come out in the open like idi么ts against a hypnotic?

The after-credits scene didn't even make any sense. The division leader fo么led Rourke, his wife and his daughter (the strongest hypnotic alive) easily.
Then why did they need the daughter in the first place

The division had hypnotics on their teams but couldn't use another two to breed and form another child as a backup plan?

I felt the same about their tennis play... I probably just overlooked since the actors were/are not actual lawn tennis players ..

Although, I still felt they could have used a body double for those tennis playing scenes..
