Go see it. Holy **** it’s great. Coogler has yet to make a bad movie and honestly this might be his best. And it’s Michael B. Jordan’s best acting easily. Best of the year so far.

I’m in the minority, I appreciated the film but I was disappointed by it. I felt like every time the film got going it would step on its own toes and kill the momentum. And this film had plenty of moments that were outstanding (including one sequence that I won’t spoil here… iykyk)
The trailers and ads really hype up the supernatural action, but none of that really gets going until about 2/3rds through the movie.
I agree about Michael B. Jordan though, I liked him before but this is his best performance to date.

Saw a theory online about Sammie that ... I either missed in the context of the story, or they just didn't explain well enough in the film. If there was a little more exposition on this, I feel like it would have made the movie infinitely better by giving Sammie's part in the tale more weight:
There's a lot of evidence pointing toward the fact that Sammie made a deal with the devil prior to the events of the film to enhance his musical abilities. In the scene in the car as he and one of his cousins (can't remember if it was Smoke or Stack), he plays a sample of his music much to the bewilderment of his cousin who can't believe how good his younger cousin suddenly sounds with the guitar. It also better explains why the main vampire was so keen on finding Sammie and taking his soul for his own.

Interesting theory. The theater I went to didn't have 15-20 minutes of previews so I missed a couple of minutes as I walked in 5 minutes after the advertised showtime so I was wondering if I missed some sort of prologue.
