The fast movies don't really get good reviews either, they're disposable blockbusters. Whole franchise was a punchline before Fast Five anyway

That’s my point. It’s not meant to be “good”, it’s meant to be entertaining. Watch the movie, be entertained, and keep living life. That’s all it’s for. If crime/action movies don’t entertain you, then fine. But if they do and you have a problem with this movie, you’re either :mjpls: or full of shyt :manny:

If it's wack, it's wack. You're in a message board dedicated to movies, of course the users are going to expect a little bit more out of movies than simply being "entertaining" popcorn flicks. I'm not just gonna hand out concessions simply because there's a black cast.

I’m not saying hand out consessions, I’m saying grade it for what it is. shyt isn’t wack by any standard. It’s a solid 8 for a “popcorn flick” and a 6-6.5 overall. “Cool”, “aight”, “okay” are all fitting adjectives to use for it, but it’s not “wack”

Most people in here aint seen it. They're judging it by the trailer.

The trailer is fukking up that movie's money. That trailer is a huge deterrent from seeing it.

I saw the movie by accident. I definitely had no plans to see it.

But I did see it. I was wrong. It's a solid popcorn flick. I would watch it again.

It wasn't an orgy of negative stereotypes like the trailer would have you believe.

But again, the quality of the movie is not the point of the OP.

I'm talking about how the cac reviewers are thrown for such a loop by the lifestyle of a rich Black drug dealer.

"There are naked women! People get shot! They have so much money, wear nice clothes, live in nice houses and drive beautiful cars!" :picard:

The fact that they're caught off guard by that speaks to how they feel about Black people achieving status.

It's like how the bummy kid comes to school one day with some dope ass kicks on and nikkas go on and on about it. It's not the kicks, the fact that HE got em that sparks the conversation.

They should as hell liked American Gangster.
Also it looks like a decent amount of the top critics like the film. Why focus only on the negative reviews?

Because dude clearly has an agenda and is trying to create a narrative to fit

Did you seriously compare this shyt to American Gangster?
Rich black drug dealer, naked women, people being shot, wearing nice clothes, driving nice cars.

Put the Superfly remake in the hands of a good director and you would see it review better than what it is.

It's okay if you like movies that the majority of critics don't. Them not liking it doesn't mean they are upset to see black drug kingpins :mjlol:
