Ballerina Twitter review: Did Ana de Armas live up to the John Wick hype? Netizens say…
From the World of John Wick: Ballerina released, reuniting Ana De Armas with Keanu Reeves. The duo worked together in the actress' English film debut. The John Wick spin-off was released in India on Friday.
Going by the early audience review X, formerly Twitter, Ballerina appears to have lived up to the hype.
Taking to the micro-blogging site, a user wrote, 'What an incredible film — easily the best return to the John Wick universe. I've been excited for a long time to finally see a strong feminine touch in this world, and #Ballerina absolutely delivered. Ana de Armas didn't just act… she set the screen on fire (sic).'
'Ballerina just gives you what you want. Just the coolest shit every 5 minutes, even after I assumed the John Wick movies left everything on the table with regards to inventive action scenes. This movie had everything I look for in a summer blockbuster. Tons of fun, I recommend (sic),' added another.
One user posted, 'Saw @ballerinamovie for the second time. Really can't get over how amazing it is. Very rarely do I go see a movie multiple times in theatres. It's so good. Really recommend this. Plus I was really happy seeing @wwwbigbaldhead back on the big screen (sic).'
'What a film! Action sequences are top-notch & will blow your mind. The performances by cast is outstanding, adding depth & intensity to every scene. Highly recommended — but only for adults, as film carries 'A' rating for its mature content (sic),' wrote someone, praising the film but with a warning.
One more wrote, 'Hello Ana De Armas. John Wick didn't come all this way for you to win him a fist fight!?? He had to show you who the boss is. Well a very interesting movie, loved every bit of it (sic).'
Ballerina is directed by Len Wiseman and written by Shay Hatten. The film is the fifth installment in the John Wick franchise. Sidequel to the franchise, the film is set between John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum (2019) and John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023).
It follows the story of Eve Macarro (Ana De Armas), a highly skilled assassin on a relentless quest for vengeance against those who destroyed her family.
It also stars Gabriel Byrne, Catalina Sandino Moreno, and Norman Reedus. Anjelica Huston, Lance Reddick (in his final screen appearance) and Ian McShane reprise their roles in the film.

'RIP to a real one': Fans accuse Taylor Swift of altering her face to match Travis Kelce's WAG aesthetic
's recent public appearance at a family wedding with boyfriend has ignited a fresh wave of internet speculation—not about their rumored engagement, but about Swift's changing appearance. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The pop superstar, who has long remained silent on plastic surgery chatter, is now facing harsh criticism and curiosity from fans who claim her face 'looks weird' and 'overdone. ' Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce attend family wedding amid engagement buzz On June 6, 2025, Swift and Kelce were photographed at the wedding of his cousin Tanner Corum and bride Samantha Peck. The glamorous couple looked picture-perfect, but it wasn't the romantic backdrop or their matching energy that drew the most attention online. Instead, some fans zeroed in on Swift's appearance, speculating that the 14-time Grammy winner may have had recent cosmetic procedures. 'She looks really weird lately,' a Reddit user posted. 'I feel like she got more plastic surgery, right?' Others echoed similar sentiments, pointing out how her 'cheeks look strange and overdone,' suggesting cheek fillers may be the cause. Fans react harshly: from cheek filler theories to Kardashian comparisons Swifties took to X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit to share their concern. 'I don't remember her face ever being that full,' one fan wrote. Another speculated that her eyes looked 'a little weird' and that 'her face looks super tight like she can't make real emotions.' Some even compared her evolving look to iconic figures known for plastic surgery, saying, 'She be looking like Kris Jenner more and more every day,' and 'Yeah, she reminds me of Joan Rivers in her later years… already. ' Rather than slamming Swift entirely, a few fans offered a different take, wishing celebrities would be more transparent. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'RIP to a real one,' one user wrote of Joan Rivers. 'People who get plastic surgery… should take notes… Own it.' Some observers blame Swift's look on her new 'WAG lifestyle' (wives and girlfriends of athletes), speculating that she may be altering her image to fit the glitz and aesthetic of the NFL world. 'She adapts so much to the people surrounding her and this also shows in her appearance imo,' one Redditor noted. Also Read: While Swift has yet to respond to the criticism, one thing is clear: even a wedding guest appearance alongside Kelce isn't safe from scrutiny in the social media age.

BTS's Jungkook sparked surprise and later controversy during his first public appearance after being discharged from the military. Earlier in the day, several photos claiming he would join J-Hope for the finale of his HOPE ON THE STAGE world tour had circulated online, with many unsure if they were real, especially after one edit included Jin. However, once official images confirmed Jungkook's participation, another detail drew unexpected attention. During the rehearsals, the singer was seen wearing a hat with the slogan 'Make Tokyo Great Again,' which many fans associated with the politically charged 'Make America Great Again' phrase. After the image went viral, Jungkook issued a heartfelt apology, explaining that he was unaware of the hat's political implications. He also shared that the hat has since been discarded.

In his statement, the Seven singer expressed deep regret, saying, 'I sincerely apologize for the disappointment and inconvenience caused to many people.' He acknowledged his mistake, admitting, 'I wasn't good enough; I was careless,' and emphasized that he did not fully confirm the phrase's political and historical meaning before wearing it. He added, 'From now on, I will think more deeply and act one by one,' assuring fans and the public that the hat had been 'disposed of immediately.' Jungkook concluded his message with a simple but firm, 'Once again, I'm sorry,' vowing to accept the criticism and learn from the experience. ARMYs rally behind Jungkook: 'You don't need to apologise' The hat incident has now ignited fan wars across X and other social media platforms, with some rival fandoms criticizing Jungkook and questioning how he could be unaware of the phrase's connotations, especially given his fluency in English and experience releasing a full-length English album. Critics argue that such oversight feels careless for someone of his global stature. However, BTS's loyal fandom, ARMY, has come out in full force to defend him. Many emphasised that the backlash is disproportionate and that honest mistakes shouldn't be weaponised.
