most overrated/underrated hood movies?

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

1. Very good movie. Sam was great in it.

2. This movie is super tragic with a very rewarding ending.

3. One of my favorite spike Lee films. Errol fukking Barnes still scares me to this day! Delroy Lindo steals the show in this one.

Dudes hating on Belly...

The main story is mids. It would've been better as a TV show

I can't hate on it off the strength of Ox and Method Man characters

There are scenes in that movie that are eternal - but not really the ones with Nas and DMX in them

Most Overrated

Belly - paid in full - baby boy


MOST UNDERRATED MOVIES

1. 187 - Samuel L was goat in this classic

2. Lockdown - Master P and Clifton Powell

3. Clockers - one of spikes most underrated films

I don't even consider Clockers a good hood movie; that's a good movie period. One of those movies that I'll watch no matter where I catch it at.

Shottas is pretty terrible just random violence for the most part, but not sure if yall would count it since it's not really an American film.

This bullshyt right here is abhorrent writing AND acting



before you ride out on your enemies, you take a knee in public and pray?? Breh, i know a lot of sanctified gangstas, but WHO THE fukk is praying to god that "you know nikkas ain't perfect" before running up on the opps

Omar Gooding was laughable as Sweatpea.

It is visually stunning too...hype really deserved another shot at a movie or at least cinematography for a big budget film

As a kid all my older cousins talked about belly. I thought it was gonna be on some legit Scarface/good fellas type shyt. Watched it as an adult and wow it was a let down. Nas is awful but DMX is slightly entertaining.

Hype Williams did as much as he could with stylish direction and cinematography, but the acting and writing is just awful. T-Boz & Taral Hicks discussing relationship problems, and Nas’s “I got shot” followed by T-Boz’s “oh my god” is some of the worst acting I’ve ever seen. Nas’s narration is bad too.

belly is overrated

underrated
the wood & fresh

Fresh was solid and Sean Nelson gave a brilliant performance.

He’s good in The Wood too. I wanted to see more of him, he’s a talented actor.

Omar Gooding was laughable as Sweatpea.

Baby Boy was supposed to be silly though. It's painfully obvious. The scene where Ving Rhames character was jumping like a frog humping aj johnson's fine short ass is the movie's vibe in a nutshell.
