Bout to catch the 10:30 show. nikka been avoiding this thread like the plague. I hope this lives up to the hype and I’m a type of nikka that loves vampire movies.

Me too..

But as far as all time vampire movies go, this won't rank on anybodys top 25..

Doesn't mean it wasn't a decent movie.. just too much other shyt going on to call it a vampire movie

I went in

I'm curious how this would have played out with Jonathan.

i didn’t realize he was supposed to be in this.

I thought Jordan did a great job as both. I could see Majors playing stack tho. Smoke felt a lil closer to what I’ve seen MJB play in the past.

watched it again this afternoon with this girl, so that's twice in 24 hours. This time, I got to critique it a bit more.
> Solid 7.5 - 8/10. I really dialed in on the dialogue and some other things.
> Watching it a second time, I focused on what I saw as the flaws. The second half of the movie is still the weak point.

Spoiler

I can't get over how poorly written the villain is. His motives aren't really clear. Yes, he wants the preacher, but is it to free his ancestors, or what? It made zero sense to me.
> The Native Americans should've come back and saved people at the end; that went nowhere. I thought they were setting us up for their return.
> The vampire logic towards the end of the movie is dumb. There are like 20+ vampires outside and 6 people inside when the barn opens. They all should have died within, like, one minute, lol. Suddenly, the vampires just start standing around? Lol, what?
> the visual of the guitar scene is pretty cool. Blending past feature and present together. But it has zero impact on the story or anything, it's just a visual, it's like a music video super overhyped.
That theme goes nowhere in with the plot at all.

Spoiler

Said the other points elsewhere, but how would the Choctaw know where that place was at especially at night? They bailed outta there the moment it got a little dark. Imo that scene was more like if you were watching the end of another movie. How they square offed with him, and he got away.

Again the Vampire sees the piercing of past/present/future. For the people in the room its a feeling. Same ones everyone feels when they are witnessing something supernatural, but their vision cant quite match what it feels. For the vampire he could. I sorta felt like they were overexplaining that later in the film.

He saw it as a way to communicate with his people of the past. But even with that. If you make the subtext the text. White people have bitten black people style...with ZERO motive. Just something else they wanted to consume so I had no problems there.

However, everything once all the vampires enter the juke joint does fall apart. I mean I guess From Dusk Till Dawn handled vampires with just a few people, but even that seemed handled better. And the killing them off at the end was very convenient.

I wholeheartedly agree

I found myself laughing at scenes that were supposed to be serious saying to myself "that's so dumb "

and was it just me or did the blood look all watery

What movie?

Damn nikka, can’t ask you a question?

 

[Kaypain]

Loved it

That ending to the action scene definitely reminded me of some cheesy Supernatural shyt


Sam and Dean would have chopped all these vamps heads off and drunk a beer together by sunrise lol

Lol naw but great music, cinematography, and acting

First off, let's get to the important stuff.

Wunmi @ the end

Had me in that bih like cmon titty

Aight, to the lesser important stuff

This is prob my fav role from MBJ since Wallace NGL, sue me. I would've been perfectly fine watching Smoke & Stack run all ova Chi town, Mississippi & wherever

*That* scene in Club Juke before we got to the supernatural fukkery....I understand where Coogler was tryna go with it as far as black music / soul / identity and more, but it was a lot and slightly took a mf out

Man, I luv Delroy Lindo. Nuff said.

Now, I ain't the biggest vampire MF (Blade aside) so a lot of dat shyt just be goofy to me . I respect Coogler for tryna use it the way that he did though. Feel like the showdown happened dumb fast.

That jump @ the end was eh lol

Lol @ dat asian heaux after her man got turned into a pack

My theater was crazy. Mfs was acting like this shyt was the Avengers. Standing ovations (multiple times), talking during the movie, you don't really see that too much these days, superhero movies aside.

It was a good movie tho. Far from perfect like some were saying tho, for me at least.
