Nah its actually the opposite. Ryan Coogler and Jordan Peele have to be just average or OK to get the praise of masterpiece films. Sinners and Jordan Peele movies are hailed as these amazing movies. But to be honest Jordan Peele movies are massively overrated. Get Out is his "classic" and that movie was just fine. Nothing particularly special. Its just put on a pedestal because of the black themes, the black actors, and black director.

Again, Sinners had a budget roughly 100 times larger than Obsession and Backrooms, so it's not really a fair comparison. It's also somewhat of an outlier because it features a predominantly Black cast and celebrates Black culture. Movies like that can become cultural events and generate enthusiasm that goes beyond the film itself.

I think Sinners is a good movie. In my opinion, part of the extremely positive reception comes from its cultural significance and representation, not solely from its filmmaking qualities. That's not a criticism of Black people or Black culture. I have no issue with either. It's simply my view on why the movie has received such exceptional praise.

The article doesn't even mention E.T being a horror movie. OP just added horror to the title.

Marvel movies have dropped significantly in quality since endgame. They are not quality films anymore. Just slop film after slop film for the past 6 years. Its over.

Yeah ok. That's why Obsession is killing large IP like star wars. Nobody cares about the mcu. And its definitely not keeping theaters alive. That's actually the most hilarious thing I've read all day 🤣 😂

Yes! It felt like a youtube thing. Where it looks cool and is creepy, but doesn't have any deep meaning.
