9.5/10

It's people like you that just overrate movie here. How is Conclave 9.5 just give 10/10 then. So it's better than Dune then.

He gave a proper rate 6/10. It's boring and there are unnecessary scenes as well.

Because of high rating of Smile 2 here, I went ahead to watch it. Eventually it turns out to be an average movie - 5/10. It's not a serious movie atal.
Some said watch it in the night, it's so scary, turns out no single scene is scary, even Demeter was better.

I almost rewatched twice to find out what’s the special thing about it…

Movie of 5/10

Hijack 93

This movie personifies everything that is wrong with the Nigerian movie industry. It is bland, unimaginative, uninspired, and a complete waste of time.

Set in 1993, Hijack 93 fails to transport you to that time period. Without the title explicitly telling you the year, you'd never guess it. The costumes, the buildings, the overall aesthetic—all of it feels modern. It's as if no effort was made to authentically recreate the era. It’s clear that no care was given to any of the finer details.

The acting ranges from dull to downright atrocious. The performances feel forced, and the film never quite comes together to form a coherent story. Plot points are introduced and then completely abandoned without any resolution. The movie feels like it’s going nowhere, and by the end, you’re left wondering what, exactly, you’ve just watched.

Even more frustrating is the film's portrayal of the Nigerian public’s reaction to the events on the aircraft. The way it’s clumsily shoehorned into the narrative constantly had me rolling my eyes. It’s poorly executed and lacks any real emotional depth.

To make matters worse, this is based on a true story. The fact that we can’t even tell it in an engaging or competent way is disappointing. If Hollywood were to step in and produce this, people would likely complain about the accents. But frankly, I’d prefer the accents to be off if it meant the movie was at least technically competent.

Rating: 2/10

Conclave is not for certain people, especially Anime and Arcane kind of guys. The movie deserves a 10/10 because of the strong dialogue, character development and story-telling.

It reminds me of The Hateful Eight by Quentin Tarantino which I tried watching when it got released. I found it boring and so I quit right after the first 20 minutes. I my elder brother telling me that the movie is interesting. Just last week, I finally saw it after almost a decade. Boy, was I blown away?

Maturity made me like The Hateful Eight and it is that same maturity that made me like Conclave. I guess anime and video game-loving boys won't follow.

It is not everything that should be action, action, action. Why not dialogue, dialogue and more dialogue?

Conclave is what men watch. Arcane is what men who failed to put away childish things watch.

K-drama is for effeminate boys
Telenova is for simps
Anime is for mastuuurb8ing boys
Super hero movies are for weaklings with inflated ego
Dialogue movies are for MEN

You still need more maturity in of movies rating then.

Hateful Eight was a top-notch western genre movie. There was no boring moment. Better storyline than Conclave. Got fascinated by it from the beginning and still had a second watch later. You can't compare the two. And I'm sure it has a better rating than Conclave on all rating site.

Just so you know, Westman01 is not an anime watcher. No matter how highly rated it is. Even if it receive Oscar. I just can't see myself watching animation.

That was funny anyways with how you tag movie watchers in respect to the movies they watch. I'd give you that.

Movie of 5/10

Proper horror fans knows I’m saying the truth

As in eh... When I read the synopsis and watched the trailer. I felt NAH not gonna spend my time watching this.

Then I came here and started seeing high ratings and sweet talks. I was like, well let's go for it, maybe I was wrong about it.

Horror is cool genre but I hardly feel horrored or scared because I know it's all acting. But a better acting can get to you sometimes. Great horror movies that have actually gave my heart a skip is Autopsy of Jane Doe, The Substance, and one or two others I can't now.

Conclave is a 10/10 movie to people who actually understand movie production and storytelling. If you don’t find old 1930-60 movies fascinating- you won’t like the movie. END OF STORY!

Your heart skipped a beat while watching The Substance? is it the same film we watched😭😂 how can your heart skip a beat to body horror with no eerie music or jump scares. Scream 2 is a perfect movie for that bro. One of the scariest movies of this year

Movies I watched this week
Just watched Queer 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ fake ass movie- 5/10. I prefer lesbian sex than this abhorrent mess of gay men relationships🤮

Blitz - 3/10 - I once thought this movie would qualified for an Oscar🤮

Watched Wicked the 4th time- amazing movie

Moana - 6/10 I was forced to watch it

Nosferatu 11/10 as a fan of Gothic Horror this is one of my best horror movies of this decade🤲🏾 if it wasn't a horror movie it'll be nominated for cinematography

NB: I once said Wicked could make a billion 🧘🏽‍♂️ the way it's going that's actually possible the only thing holding it down is the international market

You expect a movie about church politics to be action oriented and not boring lmao 🤣 you don’t know what you clearly

In my books it’s a solid 10/10 action flicks has ruined you

I agree with your general sentiment, but it is possible to enjoy the so called childish things and still appreciate the brilliance of more mature content, all without being condescending.

I thought Conclave an 8/10, well written story and quality character work.

Talking about maturity and choice of movie, you're so right!!

I 10 years ago, I was all about unrealistic action sequences and whatnots. I couldn't stand watching Saving private Ryan, Forrest Gump, Shutter Island just to mention a few, but guess what, I watched those movies recently and realized how beautiful a masterpiece they are.

Indeed, maturity influences ones choice in life, right now, I prefer historical, War or Thriller genre of movies over the others

The Godfather-

I wonder why it took me so long to watch this. It's a slow burn, but worth every minute watching it. A classic.

The Godfather 2-

Ha well, not as good as the first, IMO, but still interesting. Michael Corleone is a creepy, ruthless and unforgiving individual.

The Godfather 3-

This movie should not have been made. It was pointless and a cash grab. Not bad, but not as good as the first two.

My favourite trilogy

The Lord of the rings
The godfather
Back to the future
The dollar trilogy ( good bad and ugly, fistful of dollars and for a few dollars more ) of the top of my head
