Sinners

I had huge expectations for this, I thought it was going to be blockbuster of the year, I was hyped.

I think it fell short, I really wanted to like it but I couldn’t.

This is personal taste but when the different generations come during the song it just threw me off.
And I hate that it did because we had spent an hour and 20 minutes to actually get to the part where we knew it was about to go down, and then the music piece happened and it threw me off.

Micheal B. Jordan was awesome, and honestly, the whole cast was shining, but even with that, with characters dying off, I wasn’t feeling a thing, it was kind of emotionless, no real depth in the characters.

I also love blues, but it’s unnecessary to have a song play every 15 minutes, I know what they were trying to do, it didn’t really work in my opinion.

It’s shot beautifully, I mean 55mm is something else, very well made, production wise.

I think the story lacks a bit.

And for the grand battle, it just kinda came and went. Again, major characters dying off and couldn’t feel a thing.

Also in that last battle, extras popping in and out, you see them for the party scenes, then they all kinda disappear, and then they’re back to get killed off. I mean…

Finally, did I really need an end credit scene, idk, it did fill some questions I had but honestly, it could’ve been resolved during the actual scenes, instead of having a 7 minute post credit scene, it felt more like a chore than a treat to have that sprinkled in there.

Obviously this is my opinion, lmk if you liked it or not, if you did, please comment on why, I wanna see if I missed something, since it’s getting really good reviews.

Thank you for reading!

Omfg like there’s no way to explain how great the whole movie is the visuals the writing and the timing of the whole movie was so good omfggg no I can’t listen to anyone who has it’s bad

unpopular opinion but this movie has a happy ending.

smoke ended up w annie & their baby in heaven.

stack ended up w mary. he wanted to be w her but he was scared she would be killed due to being with him (bc of race). now they can live happily together w/o the fear of dying

Cool plot & good concept, but if you remove the background music unessential to the plot, it becomes boring and slow.
I think if they'd remove it, the live music would stand out as edens and it would get better tension build-up.
This uses the background music to mask bad writing

I’m cautious of anyone coming into my house now.
I like how this included old tales of garlic etcetera as well as adding new spices into it, meshes you excited to see how they attempt to ward off evil and not give in to temptation 🧛🏻 🚪 🙎🏿‍♂️ 🧄
