OPINION Has Ryan Coogler Surpassed Spike Lee?

[IP360]

Culturally speaking as far as impact...Spike still holds that title. But one could make a good arguement for Coogler that's he's surpassed him. If anything, he's the next heir. I think only time will tell to see how his movie catalogs holds up, just like Spike.

This movie sucks

 

[Maywood]

I know we are not monolithic in our views but hearing Crooklyn is trash on a supposedly Black Website… y’all got it

I have to remind myself on here I'm surrounded by a different type of black

Fwiw as a kid, I didn't care for Crooklyn as I was uncertain what it was about exactly but as an adult, is a pretty great film imo

What’s great about it?

The movie is kind of a mess…

 

[grYmes]

I don’t like comparing them. Their styles are so different. Check back in a decade lol.

 

[LexDiamond1995]

Like Coogler a lot


Not even close to Spike yet

 

[Dwayne]

let me see a Ryan coogler movie without MBJ in it first

I’ll give him creed 1 and sinners but he needs more original shit to respect him fully

I’m being generous with creed since it’s a spin off

Right.

Is MBJ carrying?

 

[John Shippuden]

Right.

Is MBJ carrying?

Lmao I can’t tell!!

Black panther 2 was mid…was it because MBJ was in it for like 30 secs?



I need to see more

 

[Chi-Town B]

Lmao I can’t tell!!

Black panther 2 was mid…was it because MBJ was in it for like 30 secs?



I need to see more

It was mid because he was only in it for that long

 

[Dwayne]

BP2 was below mid lol

But together they are Shaq and Kobe so I’m with it lol

MBJ acting skills are elite

 

[John Shippuden]

What’s great about it?

The movie is kind of a mess…

Goes completely off the rails at a certain point

Then the movie is just flat out bad

When they go visit their cousins? for the summer ? I can’t remember

 

[John Shippuden]

It was mid because he was only in it for that long

That’s why I’m saying lol

BP2 was below mid lol

But together they are Shaq and Kobe so I’m with it lol

MBJ acting skills are elite

I was being generous lol

And yeah I don’t mind it if they stay a tandem because I enjoy their stuff and I love MBJ

But I think it’s possible they might be a crutch for each other

 

[Chi-Town B]

I don't think I've seen a movie of MBJ that wasn't from Coogler.
