المجتمع الأمريكي للسحرة السود

The very premise of the movie would suggest it's going to be a comedy, maybe something that addresses racism in a way that everyone can still enjoy. Something akin to "blazing saddles" would have made this movie worth watching. Instead you are left with a movie with a million logic gaps, no real humor, no action and nothing close to witty dialogue. Feels more like somebody took their inspiration from a 4 year old complaining about things they don't understand and making suggestions that do not make sense. If I could give this movie a negative star rating I would, instead I'm left giving it a 1 star rating as that is the lowest rating I can give.

great Comedy

nice

sick

wow

فيلم جيد!

I'm really shocked ANYONE at ANY POINT thought this script was a good idea. It's one of those films that makes you uncomfortable - not due to the tropes they included, but because of the fact that this is just lazy lazy LAZY writing! Any sort of movement forward has been pushed back by decades thanks to the 'brain trust' that came up with this garbage. It's 2024 - we're better than this, aren't we? The premise of this whole film is insulting to our people - in ALL regards. The fact that it bombed at the box office is of no shock - nor should it be to anyone who saw it. Thank goodness we have American Fiction; at least that spectacular film made its point w/o being ridiculous .

An uncomfortable and dated premise about a secret society of magical black people whose job it is to keep white people happy for the sake of preventing "white rage." Granted, I get what the filmmaker was going for as the references from history make clear. But even a lighter touch by the filmmaker and many humorous moments can't help the overall idea from being pretty cringe. What saves this film is Justice Smith. After being recruited by the society due to his lack of confidence and low self esteem, we become thoroughly engaged in the character. After being sent to help a frustrated exec at a social media company, he falls hard for the man's female work friend, complicating his mission. Justice Smith is such a natural actor. The audience easily roots for him. The chemistry with his love interest was strong and the character arc was incredibly satisfying. See it for the well written characters, strong acting, and palpable love story and pay less attention to the rest.
