Shaft in it's own curse. Do we have to make a part two of everything?

Samuel l Jackson, great actor should learn to say no to a movie every ones in a while would be good for him and us.

Where to start? Shaft feels like a comedy and makes a complete fool of itself. While the original one (that for me is the year 2000 one) had some actual weight and a story (racism based murder), this time around it's all a joke. The story doesn't hold up the actors don't really connect and the characters are empty vessels.

The occasional joke is funny, but young shaft jr being like he is in the move is just sad. Shallow jokes with a hollow cast of actors.

On the positive side of you appreciate a good urban soundtrack, the movie did that right. To keep it easy just find the soundtrack on spotify and leave the movie for what it's worth and that is not spending your time on.
