he has more misses than hits, but i’m not gonna scrutinize a black director unless its tyler perry
This.
Only movie I disliked of his was Chiraq. Not wasting my time watching a remake of Oldboy though.
I regretted watching Chiraq straight up
Spike got HITS
a lot of his films have suffered from lack of funding and he's had to compromise his vision b/c of that more than most of his contemporaries

I saw it in the theater. Was heated I even paid matinee price for it.
Do The Right Thing, Malcolm X, and 25th Hour leave a lot to be desired OP?
25th hour deffo leaves some to be desired tbh
Change Spike Lee to Tyler Perry and then we gonna have a hell of a conversation
Do The Right thing, Malcolm X, Inside Man and Blakkklansman Out now
Da 5 Bloods was great too
Change Spike Lee to Tyler Perry and then we gonna have a hell of a conversation
Lol most the black movies on Netflix sadly have been horrible
No. He's had some misses but his catalogue is filled with classics and good films. Across different styles and genres.
All the niggas saying he has so many misses still have yet to list em 😭
I already know that he has 8 straight solid-great features until Girl 6 (which I haven’t seen but know it has poor reception) so the idea that he actually has MORE misses than hits is big time CAP
And without knowing what films people actually think are misses, I can only assume that people are either talking out the ass or assuming that a black director can’t be as consistent as Spike is (which is really the only reason this conversation was even started in the first place)

It's cuz he's a black director that makes movies about black people so they think he's only good as far as black directors go.
Spike has several legitimate classics tho. Misses sometimes obviously but he's who he is because of the classics. Been around for over 30 years so its not like the misses are even that big a deal. Def not the one to be targeting when Tyler Perry still exists dropping completely awful movies
I seen all these posts about spike having more misses than hits and said hold up let me go check the filmography on Wikipedia. I went down the list and literally only about 4-5 joints I can say I do t really rock with and they were all pretty much recent joints.
Red hook summer, sweet blood of Jesus, Chi raq, she hate me, and Oldboy. Pretty much anything after inside man and before blackkklansman
Spike Lee dropped a amazing film in 2020
A lot of directors y’all call “goats” ain’t dropping heat today still
