    I enjoyed this film. The redemption arc is becoming a sub-genre in the superhero category. If this were Blockbuster video, the tape would be right next to Hancock. I picked up on the twist in the opening scene. As soon as I heard twin, I knew that Joe was Nemesis. There were plenty of clues pointing out that Joe was not Samaritan throughout the film. When the kid called him Samaritan, Joe said he was not him and often got angry, also when the kid said that Samaritan saved his dad, Joe had no memory of this because it was not him. The hammer scenes also were another clue. Joe seemed to have a psychic bond whenever the hammer was being used. The acting was not great overall, but the kid managed to sell the story. If there is a sequel, then I would definitely watch it because there are still more unanswered questions about Joe that I would like to see fleshed out.

      It had layers like Shrek, that's for sure. When he tells Cyrus he's the "bad guy", yeah, he's letting the dude know he was Nemesis. But Nemesis held himself as the "anti-" hero right up until that final confrontation with his brother. His failure to save his brother made him feel like the villain and caused him to truly consider himself the Bad Guy. It was saving Sam that finally gave him a sense of closure. I'm actually very glad that Cyrus was a follower of the misconceptions about Nemesis instead of some blood relation. Had Cryus actually been family, Joe probably would have stayed in there until his heat-prone system gave out on him.

    To be honest, the only thing which is really annoying is, that it is one movie (it creates basically a universe - and it just ends, keeping you to see more).
    I actually prefer, that Sam and Joe are not related. It is just how things work out in reality. Also: it is great to see, that even a superhero has limits and has some weaknesses. The super hero genre have normally heroes and their nemesis far too overpowered.
    So yes- dope show.

  • @Kingneo0053
    @Kingneo0053 Год назад +42

    I enjoyed it.
    In terms of alt endings I think having the villain redeemed in the end, rather than be killed, would have been nice.
    The villain wasn't entirely set up to be a BBEG. His motivations for his actions are centered around feelings of injustice and grief. His crew were also people who had been abandoned or victimized based on one of the crew member's words.
    Like a younger Nemesis their actions were spurred by the failings occurring in the city. Failings that may have been caused, or at least furthered by, Nemesis's old conflicts with the city and his brother.
    Nemesis would be able to recognize a lot of what they had gone through. He lost loved ones due to others, he wanted to make those people hurt, and he wanted to provide what he saw as justice to those like him. However he also knows where that path ultimately leads and that he was wrong about some things. Things he learned too late and at the cost of his brother.
    Having Nemesis explain that, while also empathizing with them, and getting the villain to abandon his own plan/rage in response would have been an amazing callback for me. In this way he would have saved the villain in the same way his brother saved him.

I thought the twist was a little to easy to predict but most comic/superhero stories are so everyone will have their own pinion on that. I would recommend a watch if you like the genre. Does a good job not over explaining every single thing. Here is the world and these are the people that exist in it.

    This was a fun movie just to have fun with it. I thought of a different idea in that Samaritan was actually Sam's mother's father, and he, after losing his brother, stayed around to watch over his brothers' daughter and grandson with a new ending of Sam finding out he also has the powers transferred to him, and Joe stays around to have Sam grow up to be the new Samaritan. But the idea of Cyrus as Joe's son would have added much to the movie, But all in all, it's just a fun superhero movie and very enjoyable.

  • @advance512

    Like many others, I also figured out the twist during the early scenes. I hoped it wouldn't be so obvious, that they'd do a twist on a twist, like that he actually IS Samaritan, but pretends to be Nemesis, because Samaritan was the actual villain many years ago, and his popular public persona was his way to win over Nemesis and accomplish his nefarious plan..
    Or that Samaritan and Nemesis were actually the same person, with multiple personality disorder, which is why they were not really seen at the same time - until that fateful night many years ago, when they joined and fused together.
    Or something better, I am sure there are many such ideas.
    But oh well. Pretty obvious but still sufficiently enjoyable. :)

    tbh i think the build up to the twist wasn't good enough and they definitely should have made it clear that Cyrus was trying to finish what he saw as nemesis final plan along. Also the finales pacing didn't really work for me, I think that it would have worked better if Joe didn't instantly get the hammer to fight the goons and should have made him visibly steaming more and more to make it seem more like a struggle as he tried to get to the kid with the reveal happening that Joe isn't Samaritan when he is fighting on the top floor when Joe takes the hammer from Cyrus.

    The storyline was solid the effects were up there and i can see why Stallone took on the Role of Samaritan. Can't help but feel a tad disappointed, however. Don't get me wrong It had all the qualities of a good movie, but something was missing the fight scenes looked too choreographed for me. and standing your ground under a hail of bullets screamed blanks.

    I fully expected him to be Nemesis because he reacted to Cyrus picking up his hammer at the police storage in the beggining of the movie, he ran away from the city chaos and he really disliked helping people.

    I feel like they didn’t need to be twins for the twist to have worked. I mean their faces were never shown to us when they were Samaritan and Nemesis and they did have masks so it’s feasible to assume the public never saw them.

    • @katherinestives940
      @katherinestives940 Год назад

      I might be wrong, but in the (very) brief instant before Samaritan fell you did get to see his face, and it didn't look like Stallone's face to me. Which, again to me, implied that they weren't identical twins. For some reason when the word "twins" is used people always assume identical, but fraternal twins are a thing too. And, from what I understand, fraternal twins are more common as well.

  • @BellowDGaming

    It's an old tale and in real life as well, when it's hard to forgive sin and yourself you have remorse to the things you've done and try to fix things, but cannot escape the past. Only by trying to do good and redeem yourself is the key the problem is acceptance and did the person really changed? As seen in this movie Nemesis was really heart broken when he lost his brother not by his hand in battle by an accident where he tired to do good to save him because he was spared which haunted him, now he transitions from villain to anti hero to hero in the course of the movie. It was a great watch.

    I think a lot of people missed the point of Samaritan. It's a parable about hate, and what happens if someone lets it rule them. That's why the ending of Cyrus & the hammer was poetic.

  • @jaminv2889
    @jaminv2889 Год назад +1

    The minute they said they were Twins in the first few minutes of the movie, they telegraphed their twist, along with the intentional avoidance of the topic by the main character Joe.
    I would have enjoyed it 10x more if they had just said brothers and then you find out they weren't just brothers but twins later in the story.
    I also would have loved it if the lore had left out the whole Sauron take of forging a weapon and pouring his malice into it... they are essentially mutants, they only had physical abilities... that kept it grounded in a reality that you could reasonably suspend your disbelief... but when you start talking about forging a hammer and putting his blood giving the hammer supernatural powers... you've now blown past it for no reason. The whole movie would have still worked without the whole hammer being 'special'. I know they somehow needed a way to try to even out a normal human vs a superhuman conflict at the end, but I figured he was getting weaker the more his heart was racing, they didn't need the hammer to be magical. It worked for Lord of the Rings because they whole thing takes place in a world where magic, otherworldly things exist and not in our current known reality.
    If those two things would have changed, I would have found it more entertaining. It took a bit to get into it, but then I found it enjoyable until the hammer came back into play and was just waiting for the twist to be revealed.
    The only part I really laughed at was when Cyrus talked to the kid about Nemesis, and pulled his shirt back to reveal his Nemesis tattoo on his chest... did he forget about the Nemesis tattoo on his face??
    Mildly entertaining and mindless fun. Probably won't watch it again.

    Honestly, I enjoyed it. I had an idea early on that possibly he was Nemesis, but I wasn't sure. The more that you see him restraining and holding back the anger, it was clear and by time of the reveal I was so hoping it WAS the case and it turned out to be. I think if he was Samaritan, it just would have been a let down. I am glad it went the way it did. It had flaws, as most stuff does; but it was decent overall. I may watch it again sometime, something I rarely do with modern movies anymore.
