Sinners
« on: April 18, 2025, 10:16:01 AM »
Saw some good reviews (some way over the top like its the movie of the year or something) so I checked it out...

Shot on film so it doesn't look all digital except some fire effects. Good sound design and music in it...

Overall it's slow at the beginning and too long, and its from the guy who did Black Panther so there's some race politics mixed in.

Another movie trying to be a bunch of different things and failing at most of them to me. Also has those annoying kind of multiple endings going on like he couldn't decide what exactly he wanted to say so they tried to cram in everything.

I would say it's worth the watch but not nearly as "amazing" as all the likely paid or fake reviews are saying.

To be clear..  I'm not saying it's bad or not worth seeing. In comparison to the other options out there its Citizen Kane.  :P

I would see it on the big screen since its well shot and the sound design is good, it cost 90 million or something to make and it looks like it...

It's just not the greatest movie of all time like some of the reviews are saying and its the 1000th movie to plod away in a certain genre that frankly never needs to be touched again.

We saw this a few days ago finally.

I enjoyed it.

It's very very From Dusk 'till Dawn but I think it works. It reminded me of a Jordan Peele movie but it never really falls apart unlike most Jordan Peele movies tend to do.

Perhaps it runs a bit long but there's nothing too excessive to really cut. Even the setup was interesting.

This one gets a thumbs up from me dawg.

It's an OK movie... its nowhere near as good as all the fake reviews make it out to be though.

And it's a slog with all the race commentary and vampire bullshit that has been done to death.

That being said i would see this ten times if my choice was that or to watch Snow White or any superhero movie.  :P
