Movie Reviews

User Review - 6/10 by Chris WWatch this on Netflix with subtitles on. The plot has potential but is poorly executed. Most of the screen time is talkin' and walkin'. But the best part is definitely the description of the music in the subtitles. Not that it saves the movie or anything, but it does add an extra star or so of amusement.
User Review - 6/10 by Real GJohn Evans' 1974 Black Godfather has been deemed a classic Blaxploitation film. However, compared to other films of it's time, most notably Sweet Sweetback and The Mack, Black Godfather is a tamed version of Blaxploitation. It carries the familiar themes of the genre, black guys being good, strong, etc., the cops being crooked, the whites are the villians, the women are mere objects. The violence is relatively tame also for this genre, there is not much graphic violence. The storyline is tight, predictable, but tight. There is, of course, the obligatory sex scenes, the obligatory full frontal nude woman scene, the bloody wound scene, all staples of the genre. The reason I rate this film so high, comparatively speaking, is beacuse of all the films I've seen in this genre, this is one of the better ones. If comparing to your standard Hollywood film, this rating would probably be lower. The genre doesn't work for all people, but for those who are fans, this film should keep you entertained.
User Review - 6/10 by delysid di enjoyed the film but i wasnt exactly blown away by it; not as good as truck turner
User Review - 4/10 by Shawn WCareer criminal JJ (Perry) sets about uniting black hoods and militants under his leadership so he can drive the mafia from the black neighborhoods and take over their criminal rackets in the name of black liberation and money for JJ. "The Black Godfather" is a 1970s crime drama/action film of the blacksploitation school, with all the stereotypes that implies. Nothing that happens and nothing that is said is any surprise--except perhaps for the drag-queen assassin with the blowgun--and my guess isthat you've seen what this film has to offer done better elsewhere. Plus, it's short on drama and action, but long on talkie bits espousing black power, coming from a guy who ultimately is just looking to enrich himself. (At least there's the counterpoint in the form of a thug who truly is devoted to the concept of black empowerment.) The one thing this movie has going for is is a cast of actors who are better-than-usual for movies of this type and in this budget range. Despite the movie's sluggish pacing and cliched story and characters, these excellent actors manage to keep the viewers engaged. (In fact, I don't think there's anyone who appears in a speaking role who didn't deserve to be in a better movie than this. Black Godfather Starring: Rod Perry, Don Chastain, Jimmy Witherspoon, Damu King,and Duncan McLeod Director: John Evans
User Review - 4/10 by Bill BDon't let your mouth overload your ass. JJ is a black crime boss that is slowly taking over the entire neighborhood. One of the drugs creeping through his neighborhood is heroine. When JJ does some digging, he discovers the source of the heroine is a rival crime boss in a small corner of an area he doesn't control. JJ decides to extend the reach of his gang and squeeze the heroine dealer out of business. The heroine dealer will not go out quietly. "You pimp everything and everybody in the neighborhood." John Evans, director of Speeding up Time, Blackjack, and the upcoming The Accident, delivers The Black Godfather. The storyline for this picture is fairly straightforward and not overly imaginative. The action scenes were okay and the script was fairly clever. The acting was below par and the cast includes Rod Perry, Tony Burton, Damu King, and Jimmy Witherspoon. "I'll fuck you for it." "Close your eyes and pretend it's me." I watched this off Netflix as another potentially interesting Blaxploitation film. I found it just okay with some nice characters and action scenes but a cliché plot and direction. Overall, I recommend seeing this maybe once but it definitely isn't a classic addition to the genre. "I'm the man that recognizes talent." Grade: C-
