boxington 06/11/20 9:40:32 PM #3:	I like a bunch of his movies, but he has a couple that are some of the worst movies ever that I've ever seen from a director of his caliber - Da Sweet Blood of Jesus (easily the worst vampire movie that I've ever seen) and Oldboy (maybe the worst remake that I've ever seen). and idk how I feel about Chiraq. --- b-bb-box <cite>boxington posted [p:940534129] in Spike Lee'...

boxington 06/12/20 4:07:15 PM #25:	so, I thought that the movie was alright. maybe I wasn't in the right mood, but for some reason, a group of old black Vietnam vets going through Vietnam and its jungle for lost gold wasn't as compelling as I thought it would be. there's a lot of others stuff going on, but I won't spoil anything. and like I've said before, a lot of the dialogue was really heavy-handed. I didn't think that it was bad, by any means, but it isn't amongst Spike Lee's best, IMO. I'd probably give it a 6.5-7/10. --- b-bb-box <cite>boxington posted [p:940573389] in Spike Lee'...

Case and point, look at Star Wars...and especially look at Dave Chappelles Netflix standup ratings... This is the one thing i hate about media--like movies, games, and music these days. Sometimes trash gets praised because its ''woke'', and excellent things get overlooked because they didnt suck off the right people and/or pander to the correct ''audience''. Then, sometimes things are just excellent because they are, and are recognized as such. Theres just seemingly no consistency between reviewers anymore. That being said, i've liked all of his films...only one i didnt like was his remake of ''Oldboy''...and thats just because it didnt seem like he understood what made the original good, so he focused on different things for his remake that were unnecessary, or just didnt need to be done, while other things went unnoticed. So, since oldboy is the only one i didnt think was too great (and it was a remake)...id surmise to say that this one is probably good. --- ASUS B-150 Gaming MoBo\| Intel CORE i5 6500k @ 3.5GHz \| 32GB DDR4 \| 2TB HDD \| 600w PSU \| nVidia GTX 1080Ti 11GB GDDR5-X <cite>N3xtG3nGam3r posted [p:940673389] in Spike Lee'...
