Well shite. I haven't watched it in 15 years.

Four Brothers, Nope and Training Day definitely have racial components. I haven't seen the rest.

But that's still like 90%+. Seriously.


Then I misunderstood. Movies like King Arthur aren't racial though.

The story set up.....black twins ..who are WW1 veterans that became rich in the Chicago underworld return to the Jim Crow era south to start over and open a bar is actually a cool starting point. I think there is an interesting story to be told with that premise that doesnt involve vampires and would 've preferred that movie.

I sort of agree with you. If the movie had perhaps not been as extremely hyped up as it was, and I just saw it randomly on tv, I might have liked it better. But seeing it with the mindset of it allegedly being one of the best movies of the year, I was a bit perplexed. There were a few scenes that if they left out then the movie would have been better. Those scenes were so fricking cringe though, they were hard to get past.

This board was always going to have a problem with this movie, but it’s not remotely reflective of actual popular sentiment.

I don't have a problem with the movie. I just don't think that it is that good of a movie.

Finally watched it on a flight this past week.

It was enjoyable for what it was but it’s not better than a cheesy vampire flick like Abraham Lincoln the vampire slayer.

How the frick did this win any Oscars?

I like Michael B Jordan but him playing the twins was no acting feat. He just played the exact same character twice lol. They weren’t different in anyway.

Then the story itself is stupid. Randomly throwing in future imagery of twerking and rap music?

KKK not being relevant to the story but having them show up at the end just so he can kill 20+ of them?

Irish vampire doin little dances in the middle of a corn field? Lulz
