Review of SuperFly (2018)

By Tim Stevens (75) for Comicsverse (74) on 27 Nov 2018

SUPERFLY turns out to not be very good. Despite boasting a director whose name screams, TOO MUCH STYLE, the film looks generic as can be…

Review of SuperFly (2018)

By Frank Ochieng (928) for ScreenAnarchy (469) on 06 Nov 2018

Profoundly sketchy, scattershot and overall unappealing in its uneven boisterous presentation, Superfly aimlessly pounds its congested chest…

Review of SuperFly (2018)

By Ed Travis (116) for Cinapse (114) on 30 Oct 2018

The super heroic version of this tale mythologizes Youngblood Priest in a new era of chaos in which threats to the black community are more…

Review of SuperFly (2018)

By Mario Alegre (61) for Próxima Tanda (54) on 23 Oct 2018

Like watching a two-hour trap video, this Superfly is all foreplay and zero climax. [Full Review in Spanish]…

Review of SuperFly (2018)

By Nate Adams (71) for The Only Critic (71) on 09 Oct 2018

In any case, those shortcomings never take away from the heart of Jackson's performance, which, despite all the ethnic stereotypes seizing…

Review of SuperFly (2018)

By Tara Brady (805) for Irish Times (1,391) on 17 Sep 2018

The clothes are great. The cribs are well-appointed. The fight sequences, although too few, are nicely choreographed…

Review of SuperFly (2018)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 16 Sep 2018

[This remake is] in the style of one of those controversial 'gangsta rap' music videos that celebrate criminal wealth, gun violence and the…

Review of SuperFly (2018)

By Kevin Maher (647) for Times (UK) (2,458) on 13 Sep 2018

Director X...can't seem to differentiate between the strip-club aesthetics of a rap video and the demands of a full-length feature film…

Review of SuperFly (2018)

By Linda Marric (107) for HeyUGuys (1,461) on 12 Sep 2018

An unlikable misfire of a film, with only a few decent performances on hand to make it worth your while…

Review of SuperFly (2018)

By Geoffrey Macnab (1,253) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 11 Sep 2018

The early scenes are so full of bling and macho posturing that you half suspect the film must be intended as a spoof…

Review of SuperFly (2018)

By Eddie Harrison (272) for The List (2,018) on 09 Sep 2018

The aesthetic may have changed with the passing decades, but this superfly guy remains the man of the hour…

Review of SuperFly (2018)

By Abbie Bernstein (403) for Assignment X (330) on 26 Aug 2018

What this film lacks in originality, it makes up for in zest…

Review of SuperFly (2018)

By Hope Madden (89) for Columbus Underground (89) on 26 Aug 2018

It does have style, though, and something relevant to say…

Review of SuperFly (2018)

By Alci Rengifo (87) for Entertainment Voice (75) on 24 Aug 2018

Superfly wants to bank off the title of a genre classic without keeping the spirit of the genre alive…

Review of SuperFly (2018)

By Rendy Jones (321) for Rendy Reviews (320) on 23 Aug 2018

While Trevor Jackson displays an outstanding performance, SuperFly is a technically poorly constructed remake that still glorifies sex and violence…

Review of SuperFly (2018)

By Deirdre Crimmins (265) for HighDef Digest (76) on 20 Aug 2018

SuperFly is an overall fun but flawed entry into the Neo-Blaxploitation genre…

Review of SuperFly (2018)

By Jim Schembri (1,298) for 3AW (1,025) on 15 Aug 2018

[This] full-bodied remake of the 1972 blaxploitation film might not be much of a morality tale but it is a very well-constructed crime drama,…

Review of SuperFly (2018)

By Sandra Hall (505) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 08 Aug 2018

The whole thing plays like a fancy dress parody of a crime movie, except nobody seems to be having much fun…

Review of SuperFly (2018)

By Louise Keller (804) for Urban Cinefile (2,850) on 08 Aug 2018

It's the mood that sucks you in: statement hairstyles, attention-grabbing clothes, plenty of bling, cheesy dialogue punctuated by expletives,…

Review of SuperFly (2018)

By James Croot (201) for Stuff.co.nz (387) on 30 Jul 2018

As with the original, this is not for everyone, especially with its old school leery camerawork, but as late-night entertainment SuperFly is…
