Yeah. Perry's movies are REALLY good when you watch them with an audience that gets him and his style. And like I said, I'm surprised "I Can Do Bad All By Myself" got such a low score since I really enjoyed it. But watching them by myself, it's hard to take them seriously. I liked a lot of the older films like Superfly, Shaft, and The Mack, too. They were just so damned cool. I probably wouldn't like them as much, now. Stll, as a kid, I wanted to be Shaft so badly!
I guess, like any review, you have to take the reviewer into account. If they aren't the intended audience, how can you relate to their review? I'm not forgiving Perry's work. i'm just saying that they have their audience--and to them (not me, unfortunately), the movies are just fine. They make a lot of money for a reason.
