Avatar: The Last Airbender (2024)
Inspired by the Animation not a reap by reap of the animation
This is a good adaptation - If you are going in expecting to get an exact copy of the animation then you are better off just watching the animation.
This adaptation of the animated series takes a different path, aiming for a realistic and somber tone with impressive CGI. While it's fine for adaptations to change things up, the main problem is how Aang, the main character, focuses more on his friends than on being the Avatar when he returns after a century-long absence. It would have been more engaging if he concentrated on training and fulfilling his duty to restore balance to the world.
A few characters too were portrayed poorly like Avatar Roku , maybe we would see more of him in season 2 .
However , its enjoyable and kept me glued to my screen for the whole weekend.
Community (2009)
Starts Well But Goes Down the drain
Community goes from ann excellent season 1 to a horrible season 5 .
Plotless ,poor character development and growth.
There is absolutely nothing to look forward to from Season 4 but gets worse off by Season 5 .
Lionheart (2018)
My Lion Heart Review
Warning: Since LionHeart is on Netflix.Id be giving it a standard review
Now ,with a view not to hurt anyone's feeling.
That movie deserves an Award for the Most Over hyped substance on the planet.
Nigerians need to stop this overhyping thing Biko!
It's not even amongst the Top 100 Nollywood movies ever made (If there were a top 100 list)
Let's start from the plot !! On(Spoiler Alert)
Father is sick and chooses someone to replace him while he's away.He's brother that manages the Owerri branch ...The thing is ,this brother is supposed to be a business mogul but he turns out to be a comedian that has no idea of any business itself.
Phyno's character = pointless
Peter's character = unnecessary
I could keep on with how many people where unnecessary in this movie.
Talking about good Nollywood movies..We look at Kunle Afolayan's October 1st and Figurine as examples.
Movie Quality :
So Damn cheap!
I really question what Netflix saw in this that hasn't been seen in other Nollywood movies .So I'm seriously doubting(To a point of no believe at all) that figure that we are speculating about on Netflix purchase.
I'd have to keep my ratings to myself this time around as it goes below a 5/10 comparing to standard Nollywood movies.
Best part of the movie.
Every Pete Edochie scene
Also all GN's scene fitted the script.
Crazy Rich Asians (2018)

Ahhh - Y'all should calm down with the Hype train
Rating - 4/10 at best
Aquaman (2018)
I was actually blown away for the first time in a long time !!!
My suggestions for Aquaman,go read his Origin Story before watching his movie or before making a post.
Or just go with an open mind not looking to critic it.
This is a really good movie...I watched it on IMAX 3D ,it got a standing ovation,I decided to try 2D to see.
I even enjoyed it more.
It tells a story of global warming .
A regular guy standing up to Greatness.
It tells a story of love .
I loved that the jokes weren't too much and at times ,you could feel Arthur's pain of being alone.
James Wan did an amazing Job and I loved the Peter Jackson's adventure film style used
To me ,this is up there with Batman Begins , I also prefer it to Wonder Woman by a land mile.
Overall I'd give it a very good 8+
Remembering that 10 means perfect and 9 cos I wanted to see more tragedy and death.
and yes..!
Jason Momoa is Aquaman/Arthur Curry!
Amber Heard is Mera and a lovely side kick.
That last kiss was one to watch for again
