i thought Sinners was so overhyped. mediocre performances (great music!) and a terrible plot (why were the vampires forced to ask for permission to enter, and then able to storm the building a few scenes later? was there no better way to resolve that then just forget about it)

loved OBAA (incredible pacing!) but had its flaws too



> why were the vampires forced to ask for permission to enter

Part of well established lore.

> and then able to storm the building a few scenes later?

Because the wife who just saw her husband killed invited them in because she wanted revenge.


> Doesn't pay attention to plot

> Claims plot is terrible

People who complain about aspects about movies they didn't like should all be as forthright as GP in explaining why exactly they didn't like that aspect, so I can decide whether to entirely disregard the opinion.


>terrible plot (why were the vampires forced to ask for permission to enter, and then able to storm the building a few scenes later?

Imagine dinging an Oscar-winning film's plot this loudly, and being absolutely wrong about something easily verifiable.

The shopkeeper's wife (Grace, played by Li Jun Li) freaks out and explicitly invites them all in.

If I was this offbase with a comment, I'd delete my whole account.

IOW, I quote your own comment history: "how does it feel to be misinformed yet opinionated?"
