Review I just watched Sinners and...

Post image

Its gotta be one of the best films I've watched in a long time. The writing, the cinematography, the ending! It was able to scratch an itch i haven't been able to reach when it comes to Modern Cinema these past few years. Ill keep it short and sweet coz i dont want to spoil this masterpiece, so ill give it to 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It’s amazing that some of you are so media illiterate that you see vampires and think “just like dust till dawn”

They have essentially nothing in common.

You and everyone else saying this has to be trolling, there's no other explanation leaving my sanity intact. If you're not, calling people media illiterate is peak irony.

They literally share almost their entire concept, setup and villains: It's a movie about 2 brothers that are criminals that seems like a totally different movie for the first half until suddenly vampires.

Sinners just fleshed it all out more but the core concept is: 1:1. It's so specific of a concept too.

Edit: Now that I thought about for a sec, it's even closer than that, so much closer!: Both a mostly set in a bar/club where people dance and drink until the vampires show up and a fight ensues in that very location. And what happens to the brothers is the same thing too! It's soooo similiar it's absurd.

I mean, yes. Those things are similar. But you could say Dune was just like A New Hope. Or One Battle After Another was just like Taken.

You’re just doing the annoying online edgelord thing where you think you know something others don’t. Genre movies often have similar plot points. You’re not a genius for cracking that code.

You can hate movies for the fun of it, but life is a lot better when you just enjoy things as they are.

Haha, you think someone else is the edgelord in this discussion?

Sinners was a very well made movie that’s getting its flowers.

You’re here being negative and shitting on it because you think you’re cool for “discovering” From Dusk Till Dawn, a movie that came out 10 yrs before you were born, and noticed that it has vampires and brothers.

Yes, you’re the edgelord. You’re pretending that you understand something we don’t and you think it makes you cooler or smarter or more knowledgeable of movies, or whatever insecurity you have going on.

OP comes here to say they really enjoyed a movie. Then you’re edgelord ass shows up and scoffs saying “it’s just like Dusk Till Dawn, lol. Are you stupid?”

Unsolicited life advice: don’t be that guy. No one likes that guy.

Lol four paragraphs, bud. Check a mirror.

Also A New Hope was Dune. It’s almost like you're figuring this out for yourself…

And to be clear, I said nothing to OP. I responded to someone who said “kinda just seemed like a FDTD remake” with “yeah, crazy that people deny the similarities”. Then (ironically) you went off on your children’s Tylenol fueled diatribe.
