Mike tends to like movies where characters think logically through problems. He gets miffed when they don't think of things he does and gets hung up on stuff like that.What do they like? Anytime I see people post their videos it's always about stuff they don't like or hated.

That second trailer unfortunately spoiled it. I would have loved to see this completely blind.Just saw this today, and I really liked it a lot! I literally knew nothing about this movie before I watched it. Imagine my surprise when the movie suddenly turned into a fuckin vampire movie! What the hell??I'm sure most people going into the movie already knew that, but I had no idea.
Anyway, awesome movie. Not at all what I expected, but I really enjoyed it. The cinematography was great, too.
That's awesome you went into it not knowing that aspect. Getting that reveal must have been a great moment.Just saw this today, and I really liked it a lot!

I'm glad I was pretty unplugged. I did not see that coming at all! Really cool idea and setting for that kind of movie. I really loved the scenes where the vampires are just talking at the door, and trying to convince them to let them in. They're just chatting like normal people. Reminded me of how I played a vampire D&D game with some friends one time, and how most of us just spoke like average people, not like you'd usually imagine a "vampire" would lol.That second trailer unfortunately spoiled it.

I liked Mickey 17 more than this. Sinners is all concept with poor execution. At least Mickey 17 has some consistency.Mike liked Mickey 17, so ...
Curious if that throw-away line was added due to her specific distant heritage, if she was cast because it sorta fit, or if it was just a coincidence.Hailee's maternal grandfather was Filipino/black. Had no idea. I thought her heritage was JUST white and Asian. But it mirrors the movie character, a bit.

Funnily enough I think Mickey 17 is a flip complaints wise, where as most people think Sinners starts slow but the third act saves it, I thought Mickey 17 started strong but the third act sucked.I liked Mickey 17 more than this.

Loved the movie, saw it in true IMAX and then again in a regular theater.
A lot of little problems throughout, especially in the second half of the movie, but the the first half the movie setting everything up was great. The set-up kept me hooked and I was really invested in wanting to know where the story was going. The production values are insane throughout. There is great sets, costumes, acting, music, dialogue, etc... Everything feels on another level to most movies out there. I had some issues with the story once the conflict started but everything else obscures those issues for the most part.
I inadvertently read about it being horror and having vampires so that was a big negative in the experience (would have preferred to go in blind), but I can't fault the movie for having the twist of being a vampire movie spoiled. The biggest problem was that it had way too many endings.
So we basically get three endings after the first one. They aren't necessarily bad and there is some payoff in each of them, but instead of ending on a high note the movie starts to overstay its welcome.There was a perfect moment to end the film where two main characters are sort of embracing after having killed off the vampires. Nothing more needed to be said or shown. But then we get a church scene, a KKK shootout, and a decades-later encounter.
EDIT: Just googled and apparently there is a post-credit scene I missed. I go to the movies by myself 90% of the times but both these times I didn't. I like to stay behind even when I know there isn't a post-credits scene but out of deference I left during the regular credits both times. Ugh, guess I can look for it on Youtube later.
This film is doing insane numbers domestically. To the point where it has overtaken Thunderbolts worldwide.
Worldwide gross:
Thunderbolts: 286 million
Sinners: 303 million
not surrpised. The movie is very good, and it has the cat lady vampire fandom in floods for an irish vampire lad.This film is doing insane numbers domestically. To the point where it has overtaken Thunderbolts worldwide.

That film needs to be talked about more, for sure.Watched it yesterday. When the first trailer came out, it looked amazing, and from the second i've seen it, it was the movie i wanted to see most. Now that i've seen it, it was very disappointing, and no what i hoped it'd be. I don't know why but i thought/hoped it would be more of a movie with interesting dialogue similar to Tatantino's stuff, where it's interesting to just see actors talk about random shit, but intead it was pretty darn shallow and forgettable.
Warfare, tho, now that was some good shit.
The Substance was my pick for the best film of last year—a storytelling experience so powerful, it reignited my passion for cinema.And since i am new here and have no idea what was popular on gaf in 2024, everyone who hasn't seen it should watch The Substance. Best movie last year 100%
A suit for a wedding?I know what I'll be renting this weekend.
I'd classify it as a "From Dusk till Dawn-like"Saw it yesterday
Good movie, but not great imo.
It's hard to classify it as horror, cause its not scary at all. But I wouldnt consider it an action flick either. Its "fun horror", I guess.
The atmosphere and soundtrack were excellent. That musical scene in particular was amazing.
The movie is built in a strange way, tho. There's way too much world and character building in the 1/2nd acts, but it doesnt seem to do much with them. 3rd act was fun, but it was way too rushed.
Its definitely better than your average movie, but seems like its very overrated, imo
Is gaf buggy today for anyone?
Wife and I thought this movie was pretty bad.
I really don't get the love for The Substance. Wasn't even in my top 5 horror movies for 2024.The Substance was my pick for the best film of last year—a storytelling experience so powerful, it reignited my passion for cinema.
Funny enough, some people are having a similar experience with Sinners.
What about it did you not like?I really don't get the love for The Substance. Wasn't even in my top 5 horror movies for 2024.
Tbh I don't remember all the reasons, but I really didn't care for the super over the top ending. But I did like the practical effects and acting.What about it did you not like?
Rewatched Sinners, and it is indeed great and rewatchable.
It will likely receive a lot of Oscar nominations.
Glad you enjoyed it and that it was worth the wait!Finally saw it on HBO Max... I watched the BASL version (apart from the regular version). It was really good. I understood the scene some on here didn't seem to understand... Sammie's song in the Juke Joint scene. Every scene was great. Great cast. Miles Canton was amazing! The woman doing the BASL (I've seen her before on social media) and she did great!
The mid-credit scene was cool and seeing where the survivors ended up was really good. The end credits scene was sweet. Ryan Coogler made an Oscar worthy film, IMO
