Just saw it again, it’s a masterpiece


Probably the best movie I’ve seen in my entire life and hopefully it gets nominated for an Oscar.

Too bad audiences prefer dumbed down movies like ”Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” but hey....that’s just the way that the cookie crumbles.

Sorry but no, it is not a masterpiece, don't be silly, its a good movie, 6.5 out of 10

Yeah I'm gonna second furious here and say it's good but definitely not masterpiece status. If it does manage an oscar nod it will be for some technical aspect and not acting or directing (or best picture).

Lol this isn't the first troll topic by peppermint

Okay so maybe I’m exaggerating a bit but it’s a solid 6/10. Nothing to write home about, but good enough to recommend. I’m no troll, more of a contrarian or provocateur I think.

and that is the very definition of trolling, Peppy. The term "trolling" does not derive from cave trolls, but from fishing, it's to put something out not because it's one's true opinion but to elicit a certain reaction from others.

You remind me of Daisy Ridley who argues against Rey being written as a MarySue by giving the very arguments that make her character a MS. Only Ridley is not doing it for trolling.

That would be true if I thought the movie stunk but outright lied about it, but exaggerating isn’t really a crime now is it? What I’m doing is no different from the regulars who visit these boards and exaggerate how bad a particular movie is, either they are liars or they exaggerate a bit. Most likely the latter but I stand by my story that I’m a contrarian.

Seriously, you went from "masterpiece" to 6 out of 10??

reply

I agree, maybe not a masterpiece but close enough, it was fucking great, this and rogue one is the best star wars movies ive seen since the original trioligy

reply

You have incredibly low standards.

reply

Yeah I know heaven forbid they have a different opinion than you.

a masterpiece? not in this galaxy!

see what i did there? lol

TV movie quality. It really watches like it was written in a hurry. And the directing is poor (which shocked me). And then there's the droid ...
Solo:4.5/10
New Jumanji: 7.5/10 (far better in every way)
