I'm FBA and I was disappointed by Sinners. I know it's streaming so I will watch it again and give it another chance. But once someone mentioned before it came out that it was supposed to be like Dusk Till Dawn. I watched it with a similar expectation.
Great premise but it was very slow moving, I feel like it could've been chopped down by 20-30 minutes in the beginning and get to the action/horror quicker. Two it felt like Dusk Till Dawn but everytime I felt like it was going to go there it held back especially on the action and the horror.
And I personally I'm tired of symbolism being shoved in every black movie. I would like to watch the movie without having to overanalyzing everything in the background for clues cuz I'm not a fukking detective.
Plus I think the reason they do this is cuz it's passive way to sneak in black ideology cuz you scared of the major movie execs forcing you to change shyt if it was blantantly there in there script. I don't hate the movie but think it was underwhelming
Tyler Perry doesn't do symbolism in his movies for the exact opposite reason. And NO I have no issue with Ryan Coogler, Michael B Jordan etc and loved all their previous films. I just feel like, especially as a fan of horror movies, if you gonna go there then really go there. It was like diet Jordan Peele in terms of the horror.
She gave it a 6, but everyone else is calling it 3 or 4. Just highlighted the black American parts which was still somewhat positive..
