Pretty Good

Rating: 6/10 (11 September 2019)

BlacKkKlansman is what I would consider an overall pretty okay movie. Some parts I really don't like, but there are some parts that I really do love. I find the premise to be very interesting and full of potential. I find the visuals, soundtrack, and editing to be very striking, and these factors are probably my favorite thing about the film. This movie somehow manages to have a serious theme, but has such a fun atmosphere. You can really feel that this is a passion project. My problems come down to the amount of scenes that bring the movie to a halt or are just poorly written. I also have a problem with the last 2 minutes. I'm all for putting current politics into your film, but in execution it didn't do as well. Compared to the vibe of the actual film, the ending feels very violent and almost propaganda. I think it spreads a good message that should be spread, but I think it should have had better editing. Overall, I think it's a pretty good movie, and I could recommend BlacKkKlansman to a number of people.
