I'm not the type to binge watch a show or follow each episode to the finale, but this show is something different. The concept of average Black European young adults with super powers works. It's very grounded so it doesn't come off as corny or as your typical comic book super superhero. It is a lot going on at one time since you are following the journey of 5 lead characters and their supporting characters, but it all ties in together. The music score alone can stand on its own. I would not say it is without flaws and you may have to watch a second time to grasp every single detail, but bravo to the execution of the show. I really hope that it gets picked up for a second season.

I was so excited when I saw the trailer for this movie that I went back and rewatched the entire 3 part trilogy starring Caesar. When I left the theater for this film I was so disappointed! The new characters are forgettable and under developed. Didn't even know the protagonist's name until 45 minutes into the movie. That's how uninteresting he was. He was weak, made bad choices and just not compelling compared to Caesar. My girl and I feel asleep during this unnecessarily long movie as it's plot and storyline are very mid. We took this movie's failure to hold up against its previous 3 films very personal. I just hope the sequel will be stronger and the characters are as interesting as the previous. I could have waited for this to hit streaming. I will say the VFX was great, but that's about it.

As soon as the trailer dropped I was interested and after watching the movie it did not disappoint. I was slightly upset that they went a a comedic route, but it blended so well with the dramatic scenes. I think if this was a serious drama film it would have had a bigger impact. I must say if you're going into this looking for the typical story on the last days of Jesus then you may be disappointed. This is a 3rd person viewpoint on the last days of Jesus in a very grounded yet done in a satirical way. I also enjoyed the underlying political messages between race relations. LaKeith did amazing, the cinematography was on point and there were some great directorial decisions.
