I watched Sinners again and ...
yeah, I'm not much of a fan.
The first part is great, but for me it all goes downhill when it goes all vampire. I'm still not into the singing vampire thing (although some of the music is good) and the past-and-future bit is a bit ridiculous.
Generally, I find it all a bit too preachy and sentimental, and I don't find the ending particularly deep.
I have to stress I don't dislike the movie, I just don't think it's one of the greatest movies ever.
It's OK.
@mrbitterness Well there are circling vultures(?) in a lot of the backgrounds which must be AI.
Yes, the future part doesn't work for me.It's quite a good scene with the random musicians appearing but it feels out of place.
Also, the point is that Sammy is magical in that way, but I feel like the movie is more interested in other characters, like the witch woman. And she is a more interesting character.
I think also the money dilemma could be stronger, which is the reason why they consider letting the vampires in. And I think the KKK trap being revealed by the vampire isn't the best reveal and there should have been other things to reveal it.
@lydiaconwell I liked it fine until they flashed into the future with the musicians. completely took me out of it.
Also I felt like the backgrounds whenever they drove through the fields, etc. in the daytime had a very artificial cgi/ai feel that I couldn't help but notice. didn't have the atmospheric impact it should've had when I think back to other movies in similar settings.
