That Shaka should be in that conversation, and that movie didnt get the support (in tickets) it should have, especially from us. The soundtrack was fire too. Shaka's idea for a MF DOOM documentary is also brilliant.
Coogler didn’t direct that movieYall saw Judas and The Black Messiah and are still making this statement
Nıgga please.
Cooglers little discography is overrated.
Jordan Peele, Issa Rae, Courtney Kemp, Kerry Washington, Tasha Smith and Cord Jefferson are better screen writers and directors than him.
My wife wants to see it this weekend so I'll give my review but based off prior history, dude is just OK at best.
Black Panther 2 was trash and Fruitvale station was ok but not better than Spike Lee's low tier films.
Black Panther 1 was good but let's not act like it would've been a layup for any up and coming black director with that budget, time, casts and Tyler Perry studios.
He exposed himself with part 2.
Creed 1 & 2 is not in my top 5 boxing films but Michael B. Jordan directed part 3.
Not saying dude is trash but he's aight at best.
Also Black Kkklansman is criminally underrated. I loved that film. No plotholes and probably one of John David's bodies of work right behind that film he did with Zendaya. The writing was phenomenal and the revenge at the end was.
. Candy Man had some promise to it,but fell short(meh). NOPE actually made me upset in the theatre. I said NOPE ,shouldve saved my money.Why does everything have to be a competition amongst black folks?
.
.
The next MJ, the next Nas, the next Pac, better than Denzel, better than Carl Franklin, etc etc. Let these folks be themselves first and solidify their careers. Y’all be bringing unnecessary hate to these bruhs with these comparisons lol.
That’s wild to bet your life because I’m pretty sure no one expected Spike to have a lot of duds after his start either.Quality over quantity. Current body of work,plus a slight sliver of projection here.
When Mahommes came out the gate fast,we PROJECTED he will pass Brady.
When DMX came out with 2 classics in a year,we projected he would be a goat if not THEE got. Barring a tragic brain injury or drug addiction. Id bet my life Coogler wont be dropping as many duds as Spike has
WTF is you talking about.Jordan Peele? Only good movies from him to me were Get Out and Keanu
Cord Jefcerson?only streamed American Fiction and it was mediocre. Jeffery Wright underutilized in the film.
Issa Rae? I would need a list of her films but i got a feeling your just yapping sbout her and Keri Washington. But lets see what films and t.v shows she has that make you say this.
Part 2 was NOT a dud for Coogler. He cant help it Chadwick didnt tell him he might die before he was casted(respectfully). He made a great TRIBUTE to Chadwick with the 2nd film. Yall are just watching that film all wrong and want them to skip over Chadwicks passing. He made an absolute miracle considering his options.
True elevation is when you get to the point you can acknowledge Cordell Stewart and Mcnabb wasnt all that. Because now we have so many great black QBs
And thats not a slight to Spike,i understand the limitations he had and doors he broke down. So please understand im grading him on a curve keeping that in mind.
