Review of BlacKkKlansman (2018) by Defdog99 — 10 Aug 2018
Wow. Was this movie bad. So yeah the story was fine and Washington has a ton of charisma... but Spike was obviously trying to make a Quentin Tarantino movie. He was aiming for a 70s cop show vibe with blaxpoitation movie references (even going as far as showing 70s movie artwork inside the movie!).
A hitler salute watching a movie (ala Inglorious Basterds)?? Check. Spike should have went with a different style. Quentin is a master of the fine-line of a talky with hyper violence with cultural allusions with comedy.
Spike tried but instead his comes off as agenda instead of entertainment. Mediocre music and sound effects especially the 2nd half. Come on man, its the 70s. He must have rushed it to get it released on the Charlottesville anniversary.
