WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

andrejhribernik I will be brief!You will either love it, and by that I mean "you will really love it", or you will hate it, which means "You will really hate it!"It's one of those movies that makes you for a strong opinion.For me, I LOVED IT! Best movie ever! Thanks Michael Jai White for this amazing masterpiece. It is so quotable!I actually met a lot of girls, talked about the movie and before you know it, I was rewatching it with them =)Ok, ok, back to the review. No spoilers! Just watch the movie! and thank me later!

Ben McKenna Black Dynamite is the most fun I've had with a film in a very long time! A spoof made up of genius comedic writing and acting.Whilst some context is needed going into the film, once you understand the layers and the intentions you can find so many laughs in a short run-time. The film within a film adds even more comedy, a few technical errors on top of the already hilarious camera work. As well as the on the nose soundtrack.A very interesting style of comedy and film making, I recommend this one to anyone who wants a good laugh. I could definitely dig it.

lightman Black Dynamite is one of those hidden gems that once you'll discover, it will automatically be added in your "top 10" & "must see on a weekly basis" lists. You're probably wondering why I sort of contradict myself by calling it one of the best comedies of all time, and not scoring it a 10/10, but instead giving it a solid 8. Well, I tell you, just like "The Man" tells Black Dynamite at the climax confrontation: "there's a perfect, reasonable explanation".By now, you're probably familiar with the fact that BD spoofs the blaxploitation movies, in a similar way Airplane did with the disaster films. While both films enormously succeed at it, there is a tiny difference that separates a Black Dynamite from becoming a classic like Airplane.SPOILERS:The reason why Airplane is such a classic, and Naked Gun is so toe-to- toe with it as well, is because the ZAZ team focused on capitalizing every single key moment of the film and seized it to make a joke out of it, whether if it was relevant to the plot of the movie or not. Let's take for instance "Naked gun":One of the most recurring jokes of the film is Frank Debrin's driving. In one film while parking his car, he crashes against some garbage cans, leaves the car on "Drive" and starts shooting at his own car thinking someone else was aiming to kill him. In another one, he crashes against a park meter, boosting all its coins. None of these jokes were relevant to the plot, nor it had any relation whatsoever with the characters. The same thing happens with Airplane, like the scene in which a passenger asks Elaine for "something light to read", to which Elaine offers a pamphlet of "Great Jewish sports legends". This is where Black Dynamite misses its mark and fails. It seems that either the director or the writer were a bit shy or timid with the approach of going full-throttle on the spoof/satire/comedy approach. There are parts of the movie where the plot gets a bit too serious, and you can see several missed chances and opportunities to capitalize on potential scenes that could have been hillariously funny.The dialogs could have been wittier, the clumsiness could have been squeezed even more, and even the intentional errors could have been more frequent and deliberate. Some of the jokes fly too fast and may be lost unless you pay close attention; sometimes you don't catch them until a second or even third viewing. An example of this is the scene where Chicago wind dies. If it was me filming this, I would have kept him talking to the rear mirror way longer, and have him drive the car through more curves without looking at the road, only to fall of the cliff the instant when he actually turned and started looking at the road. Or when Black Dynamite's brother is shot, when one of the shooters approaches him and says "he's dead"; well, you just shot him like 6 times from 5 feet away, of course he must be dead! But I would have taken the scene a bit further and have him shot like say, 50 times, and then go ahead with the "he's dead" line. That would have been way funnier and easier to catch by viewers.Still, even with all of these missed chances, Black Dynamite made it to my top 10 & "must watch at least once every week" lists. The jokes never get old and the absurdity of the ridiculous situations will always bring a smile to your face, just like the title of my review. 10 out of 10 in my heart 8 out of 10 objectively speaking

The-Plague 'Black Dynamite' is a satire combining elements of martial arts films along with movies featuring a strong black lead character such as 'Shaft.' The story follows Black Dynamite (Michael Jai White) as he searches for the man who murdered his brother, pursues a love interest, and discovers a government plot to bring down the black man. While this is not the first movie of its kind, following 'Undercover Brother' and "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka,' I think it is however superior.This movie, which is crammed with hilarious catch phrases and one liners is also filled with realistic stunt work. Professional writer/actor Michael Jai White just so happens to be proficient in ten different styles of martial arts, so when the director wanted a fight scene to look realistic White had no problem making it happen. White himself puts forth a notable performance combining just the right amount of cheesy lingo and badassery. Prior to this movie he starred in 'Spawn' and a few low budget action films, but I think that 'Black Dynamite' is what ultimately solidified his status as a respected actor/writer even with the movie's lack of financial success.Despite his numerous contributions to the movie, Michael Jai White does not completely steal the show. 'Black Dynamite' is full of well known actors including Tommy Davidson, Aresnio Hall, Nicole Sullavin, and Mykelti Williamson who played Bubba Blue in 'Forest Gump.' The supporting characters, dawning names like Creamed Corn, Chicago Wind, Bullhorn, and Tasty Freeze all have their own personalities and quirks thus adding dimension to this retro movie satire. Although, as I mentioned before, it is not the first film of this genre, but the script and acting make it completely unique. I recommend that you to grab some chicken and waffles, avoid the Anaconda Malt Liquor, and watch this movie. Never fear, it's alright, you won't be disappointed with 'Black Dynamite!'
