Am I being overly critical of it?? Probably....but the flip side ro that is you nikkaz being overly praising about an average movie..
Was it decent? Yea..
Was it OMG THIS WAS GREAT? fukk no
Aside from the beautiful southern photography and black folk togetherness and the super dope music scene... everything else was mehh at best.. That music scene saved it imo... All this shyt about Michael b Jordan deserving an academy award and the deep.meaning behind the bird taking a shyt blah blah blah you mfs smoking crack the movie was NOT that good chill out
And foh about Nolan and Scorsese.. all them directors have made trash/ missed the mark movies once or twice.
Coogler can be another M. Night Shyamalan and ya know what... its ok
Praising everything he does just because he gave us the masterpiece black panther is ridiculous
Don’t explain your review. It’s nothing wrong with having your own view/opinion. That’s what make the world go round breh.

I am untethered and my rage knows no bounds!
Dope flick, the horror is an after thought honestly.
As a southern breh MBJ accent was annoying me lol

it was incredible. I actually got a bit choked up at the music history montage because man...it was just beautiful...black peoples' connection and history and love for music...the beauty in that room.....knowing that these white people were about to take it away...vampires or not.
and it got me again at the end...this was an amazing movie. A+
My grandmother was a share cropper in Mississippi, born in 1922. She lived in a town like that...seeing them pick cotton got me emotional because that is how she started....vampire stuff aside, this was an outstanding movie...and that was fire too.

I know its some plotholes and shyt if you think hard enough but IDGAF art is posed to make you feel and this did. The vibe, aesthetic, performances all that shyt had me enthralled and outside of music I'm very rarely impressed this greatly nowadays.
Its also just such a great looking movie, this shyt in imax was amazing.

My thoughts on the movie?
Dope ass film. There were only two scenes that I didn't care for, and that was the music over time scene and that initial juke joint fight. For the former, I rolled my eyes when Delroy starting spouting that bullshyt about the soul of blues coming from Africa, before Coogler put all them African dancers and shyt on the screen. By the 1930s, we were HUNDREDS of years separated from Africa. Everything we came up with here has no damn basis in Africa. None. Miss me with that shyt and stop giving credit to a place that can't replicate that "soul" hundreds of years later.
For the latter, I was initially laughing my ass off because Grace wanting all the smoke before going full Leroy Jenkins and taking out herself and her husband was amazing, but I distinctly remember the number of ppl that ate them garlic cloves. 7, counting the no name nikka that was there. But as soon as the fight started in the joint, them vampires killed at least 5 random ass dudes before Stack got Annie. Where the fukk them ppl came from?
The mid-credits scene didn't bother me the way it did most ppl. Dwayne-Wayne stack and Mary Whitley really got me thinking them mfs had something to do with A Different World taking off in that film's history.
That cac having them nikkas out there River Dancing was the wildest scene in the film, hands down.

breh, in no way was that trying to give 'credit' of blues to africa. It was showing the deep, heartfelt connection between black people, and music. How it comes from and is part of our soul, and always has been. from africa, to the blues, to funk and boosie collins, to djs and bboys...It was to show how important the juke joint was and how music is a way black people escape from pain or just life in general...this is also the conversation about money and the 'that man worked hard to come here and have fun tonight' conversation when he paid in plantation money...that we all knew these white people were about to take it away.Awkwafina on suicide watch for not landing the Grace role.

It wasn't anything to do with saying Africa started blues.

I don't think he meant literally from africa, just you know. ancestral type, we come from there and thats part of our story type shyt. That river dance scene top 3 in the film, shyt was brazy

Saw it again with closed captions. Highly recommend if you can because there were some parts that I couldn't hear clearly but could read and it made it even better. That music through time scene is something special. Happy sigh.
