Ryan Coogler & Michael B. Jordan vampire film "Sinners"

[2 Up 2 Down]

kinda eerie how much my great^3 grandparents look like smoke & Annie. This pic would have been from the same era, 1900-10s

I don't see it

i watched this film because of the buzz. it's underwhelming. the history baked into it is great and it shows a lot of promise but it never came together for me. my criticism is more about pacing and music choices. the movie wanted to explore a lot of territory but it didn't cover any of it well. just rushed through referencing shyt and then boom vampires.

What didn't you like about the music choice?

The theater was packed for this being out since Easter. We might see it again in a week.

Stupid ass cacs need to leave people alone and stop trying to force people to live by their beliefs and standards and movies like Sinners wouldn’t come about to expose how they are the real blood sucking leeches of all of humanity.

movie was heh.. feel like it needed more world building and could have possibly stretchd out to a trilogy..

1st movie : pre sinners story.. movie of the twins as kids.. sprinkles of Sammie and the Chinese couple.. cornbread and older cat as younger people.. hints of vampire lore.

2nd movie : this movie with more backstory already known to the viewers.. would prob be much better.. remove last modern scene

3rd movie : the vampire couple running shyt throughout time paralleling to Sammie running shyt... add last scene here.

pay me.

@Rain @hex can y’all get hot wheels over here @King_Kamala61 banned from this thread? He’s derailing this thread with his incessant hate that isn’t constructive.

My favorite aspect of the film were the accents. As a southern they sounded real or like they gave it a good honest shot. Most period pieces about southern black folks are played by black people who sound like they grew up talking like valley girls and practiced by watching roots the night before filming

What didn't you like about the music choice?

when the transition to horror happens after the initial setting some of those jarring rock guitars are over the top cheese (maybe that was the point but i didn't like it) and the pacing started to feel rushed at that point after they laid out the story and got the club up then that modern plus periodic music jam in the club where shyt goes from blues to hip hop i don't think it was done well musically it was too literal and not nuanced. my criticisms are nerd shyt i have no issues with the acting

I was wondering how people would perceived that scene? How do you think they could've made it more nuanced?

this makes sense to me. it wasn't built out enough
