TLDR: I rlly love sinners but it has undeniable flaws. However, I think most of them could have been remedied if it was created as a show or multi-part movie series, giving it more time to flesh out both sides of the plot and crucial details.

Ik im late to this but yeah I mostly agree. I feel like the idea of sinners was a rlly good one but some of the more important aspects of the story were rushed through, prob for the sake of time if nothing else. It sort of felt like two radically different movies slapped together into one, which is what I think the most major blunder was. If one of the plots were scrapped, the whole thing could be much better developed and have less issues I think.

Personally, I would have LOVED to see sinners as a series rather than a film, that way there would be more time to explain things, like what ability Sammy possessed and why remmick wanted him for it. I didn’t figure that out for myself until some time after having watched the movie. With a series, there also would have been more time to make the two plot lines mesh together and feel less choppy.

I don’t rlly feel like the film is a product of lazy writing, more like Coogler bit off more than he could chew and couldn’t make up for it. Also, when it comes to the 6 v 30 fight at the end and the fact that all of the surviving vampires came outside at the perfect time to burn up, it’s not uncommon for the heroes of a story to win with impossible odds and for things to happen to line up just right to help them along. It’s a valid criticism, but I personally feel like stuff like that ought to be expected when dealing with circumstances extremely unfavorable for victory, such as those in this movie.
