I need to see Sorry Baby and Weapons but this and Friendship are my favs of the year so far

 

Haven’t seen the shrouds or sorry baby yet

 

Yeah Sorry Baby was great too

 

I need to see more movies

 

Evergreen post

 

still need to see this. might blind pre-order the UHD once my next AAA24 credit comes in

 

Materialists was pretty good but nowhere near how much I enjoyed Past Lives. And I thought Sinners was not good, despite enjoying the theater experience. It has been somewhat of a quiet year for movies so far but I feel like it’s usually the second half of the year that pops off

 

Why was sinners “not good”?

 

I don’t want to enrage the fans. I’ll just say it was too Marvel-coded for me

 

Uh what? You can’t just say some insane shit like that and not expand on it.

 

And yet I just did

 

Weird

 

Speak on that!

 

The inclusion of a post credits scene is about the only similarity I can draw. But I've seen like 3 Marvel movies so what do I know?

 

Sinners was okay but probably the most overrated of the year

 

I get that I’m the odd one out and I don’t love being dogpiled, so that’s why I’m not sharing my full review. Different strokes

Overall thought it looked great and felt like a blockbuster, great theater experience as I said—but i’m definitely not an action movie guy. The vampire and shootout stuff did not work for me at all. The music stuff felt severely undercooked. The twin thing didn’t make sense to me. The Irish thing didn’t make sense to me either. Neither did the flash-forward! I could go on but I won’t. Just not my thing!

 

oof

 

Take it to the sinners thread you dingbats

 

i won't pile on bc there's no reason to but the take about the music part in particular is just wild to me

 

This is why I held off

 

You could say it’s the worst movie ever made and I’d read through your points. No need to be a shy guy about what you didn’t like!

 

I mean what does any of that have to do with the MCU? Getting this vibe

 

I don’t get the MCU comparison necessarily, but I also didn’t love it. Had some baby’s first horror movie vibes and the cgi fire/gore stunk. I will say that the music scenes were very easily my favorite part

 

A friend actually texted me the other day to say the music aspect of Sinners was derivative, which yeah, I truly don’t get.

 

It’s perfectly fine to not enjoy a movie just back up your criticisms of it. Also not understanding something doesn’t make it bad. Not sure what there is to understand about the twins or the “Irish thing” that you wouldn’t get just from watching the film?
