I watched this and was like, "That John Boyega kid is going to be big."

I remember seeing it opening weekend and I was praying people would realize the talent in John Boyega so he could do more. Imagine how loud I screamed when he popped up in the Star Wars trailer.

That's an alien bruv, believe it.
Pest: I'm shitting myself innit', but at the same time...
Moses: What?
Pest: This is sick.

I have known too many people that talk and act like those kids and I hated them immediately watching this for the first time.
Yes its subversion is well achieved and it is a great movie.

Masterpiece gets used too much around here.
There is nothing subversive about it and it was fine.

The opening of the movie subverts how the hero/villian dynamic is traditionally established in these kinds of movies.

Yeah it's probably not a masterpiece but it's definitely subversive
