I know nothing about Harry Potter but it looks like the last two movies (two parter like infinity war) were 78% and 96% so that makes sense.

Good answer

The reviews the OP quoted all desperately try to link the movie somehow to the current political climate and one even applauds it as a call to action. Those kinds of opinions should be avoided in reviews unless the movie itself includes it.

Judging purely on the trailer, this is a movie I might have liked to go see.

Knowing how the media and certain political parties will use it to further devide the country with ridiculous comparisons, I hope it crashes and burns at the box office.

Well, you shouldn't hate something just because you don't like how the media reacts to it.
That's the media's fault, not the movie (in your example).

Also, don't give the media so much power in your decision making.

And they also committ violence against whites at a rate 50x higher than whites against blacks once you adjust for population sizes. Drug incarceration rates are based off of economic disparities, not because judges don’t like darkies.



Whatever you need to tell yourself there, fella. Just remember, your great big white ruled country? Yeah, it’s going bye bye.

No doubt, we'll probably have a black president before you know it

t's just an absolute slap in the face to reduce any critically acclaimed movie heavily involving blacks as "White liberal reviewers throwing them a bone to make themselves feel better."


yep. There have been plenty of quality movies focused on black characters. In fact, there are too many to list here.

Ironically, it's being misinterpreted and misused on this board.

There's too much of that going around, and it's not primarily the "Left" that is affected by the media

It may be a solid movie but John David Washington has very limited range IMO.

It's off to a weak start, IMO. Only predicted to make about 9 million this weekend.

His Miracle at St Anne was trashed back in 2008. If it was made now, it would be considered the next Saving Private Ryan
