Ryan Coogler & Michael B. Jordan vampire film "Sinners"
- Thread starter Dr. Narcisse
- Start date
The movie unfortunately fell apart in the 3rd act.
It felt like 15-20 minutes were cut along with the actual last 20 minutes being re-edited for a rushed ending.
Too many things happened.
And this was NOT a real horror movie or a real vampire movie.
But I may owe Mr Coogler an apology for the Black Panther franchise.
Looking more like the bullshyt decisions came from DISNEY with them using him as the face.
I wasn't expecting the lead vampire to be a WHITE LIBERAL CULTURE VULTURE
+ for that to take precedence over the Klan and for the non shilling black characters to REBEL AGAINST The White Liberal and DNC plantation unless they were BRAINWASHED
The Vampire lore was ass and inconsistent because it was just a vehicle to show how Black culture is DRAINED and appropriated because of how powerful it is. That's why as a traditional vampire movie it's
and it's reasonable for someone expecting horror/vampires to be disappointed.
The movie overall is a 7/10 and it's MBJ's best acting performance. The main characters being twins made it better.

Just got back from seeing this in a PACKED theater. It was a hell of an experience. I haven’t felt that for a non-franchise movie since maybe Get Out a few years back. It’s too fresh in my head to do a coherent review, but some scattered thoughts:
It’s very a black story set in the Jim Crow-era South and the movie makes you aware of that. If you want a black-led movie with no heavy emphasis on race or black trauma, you’re not going to find it here. But it’s also just fun. You got vampire horror, hoodoo, blues music and Irish folk dances, comedy and horror. I can’t speak for anybody else, but I never had a problem with these types of movies if you can find a way to have fun with them, and this one does.
In a movie with MBJ, Hailee Steinfeld, and Delroy Lindo in it, Miles Caton was my standout. You’d never know he was a brand new actor in this. Really interested to see if anything comes out of this role for him. I feel like we have a lack of young black actors in Hollywood these days, so here’s hoping he’s a new breakout star.
Main villain was more nuanced than I expected him to be. It’s not just that he has a tragic backstory or that he – being an Irish victim of the British – feels like he can relate to the black characters. And obviously, as the bad guy, he’s pursuing a self-serving goal of connecting to his ancestors by stealing Sammie’s talents for himself. But he clearly sees what he’s doing as a service to the black characters and genuinely wanted to build some kind of community with them. It’d be too much to say that I felt sorry for him when he was killed off, but it definitely didn’t hit the same as when the KKK got killed in the end.
The blues song Sammie sings is going to be stuck in my head for a while.

Overall I loved the film, it's not perfect but it was a blast.

The Native Vampire Hunters were hard. They knew what time it was the entire time. Ryan's decisions and skills are on point with that said I think he should have showed the entire sequence of the Natives hunting Remmeck before he got to house. I'm not talking about a long scene but like 3 minutes of showing them hunting him. So yes this film though works fine as a stand-alone, there is spin-off potential. Smoke and Stack prequel as a Gangster Flick in Chicago in the 1930's and show them robbing banks and gangsters with Capone being the villain. Native American Vampire Hunters, show them hunting other Vampires. People are also calling for a Stack and Mary (Bonnie/Clyde) type film following them throughout history. LOL @ Sinners Cinematic Universe. Honestly I think Ryan is cool with it being a standalone.
Come on Y'all already know the answer to this
.The Vampires come out at night. If the Klan came out night then the Vampires would of course have to turn them. The main characters also had to survive until sunrise. There was no way the movie could have the Klan show up at night for these reasons.
I have a question I need answered but I don't want to read through the thread and have the sht spoiled. Do yaw nikkas feel the movie theater greatly enhances the experience or will I be okay watching this in the dark on my 75 inch at home? Only movies I feel need the theater to enhance is is Michael Bay/George Lucas type shyt but idk

The klan should’ve come at night and been the start of Remmick’s horde. It would’ve made more sense to have a full house of Black people vs. Remmick and his army.
Instead, we got eight people vs. 20+ vampires at the end. Nobody should’ve survived until sunrise.

Then Coogler would have to explain why the Natives bailed at the beginning.
Like another breh mentioned way earlier in this thread. He wanted to get his ideas off regardless of whether it made sense to the overall story or not.
