Props to F. Gary Gray for bein versatile, and makin flicks that aint always about racism and brooklyn. Dude can make, Friday, Set It Off, and The Italian Job and have them all be bangers. THAT'S diverse subject matter.

    Just because you make versatile flicks doesn't mean they are better. He hasn't made anything close to Do The Right Thing, Malcolm X, 25th Hour, or Inside Man. So therefore he is not better than Spike. Like his movies though.

    Italian Job was better than 25th Hour and Inside Man. Do The Right Thing and Malcolm X are overrated.

    Nope.. Spike Lee >

    Its only seems that black people.. should be DIVERSE.. no one says ? about scorcese. or M Night sham.. ? out of there.. and he has made plenty films more recently.. and he made films that otherwise wouldnt have been made.. Making what you feel should be said/ scene is not a bad thing.. He made films on his own dime.. own creative controll.. thats power.. I like F Gary Gray also.. but .. fallback

    LOL! Spike Lee created universal classics - Do The Right Thing, Malcolm X, Jungle Fever. Calling him versatile compared to Lee's work is a joke too. Dude made one cult classic (Friday) and that's it.

    The Italian Job was a bag of ? , and compared to the original it's a load of ? . Just because he made Friday doesn't mean he's automatically on a level with Spike Lee who has made countless great films

    Every Spike Lee film is the same, and he tries to cram too many ideas into one movie(She Hate Me, Girl 6, etc.). F. Gary Gray can make a "Friday" and then turn around and make "The Negotiator" with Samuel L. Jackson and Kevin Spacey. Can Spike do that? Miracle At St. Anna sucked! Law Abiding Citizen was a solid movie.

    F. Gary Gray has done a stoner comedy, action movies, and a movie about women criminals. Spike makes movies about Cosby show, bougie people and how much better they are than black people in the lower class and how evil the white man is. That ? gets boring after awhile. He even tried to cram a "messsag" into Inside Man. WTF?

    You're just spewing out your opinion...

    The general consensus on this thread (yours) is that Spike >>> FGG

    What was there to like about it? I honestly can't think of one thing.

    Did you like it, or do you think it wasn't trash?

    I liked it.. what would qualify as trash?.. and i mean if it was "trash" hes made more than enough gems to make "trash"

    Um idk the whole deal with the kid .. and the last soldier were the major part of the story .. i like it


    what as trash about it..? I have seen worse movies. I think he has a pretty good record from trash.. to class movies

    Score was ? .

    Editing was ? .

    There was no miracle. Only a coincidence.

    Nazis baynetting children. Get the ? out.

    The ? child with the gentle giant was ? .

    Story got bogged way down and just dragged on forever.

    All Spike Lee's racist ? combined with glaring historical innacuracies.

    The obly redeeming white character was a ? ? officer that gives dude a pistol at the end.

    ? Ice Slop scene. The ? is ice slop?

    For the record... I didn't like Miracle At St. Anna's... even though he was paying homage to those soldiers

    I didn't like Inside Man either...

    25th Hour has being his last till ? IMO... that looked like a real joint

    I'm looking foward to the new NO doc...

    Okay "racist" isn't the correct term, but goes out of his way to subtle statements about not so subtle statements. No way did white officers ? on black soldiers like that one officer did in the beginning, and the young black female lawyer replacing the old white male
    lawyer. I always thought it was common knowledge Spike Lee hate d white people.


    Oh yeah, look at my name... look who spike lee has fired shots at before...


    and I think he could have done a far better job paying homage to black soldiers in WWII. He should have made the movie about black soldiers... Not stupid Italian Partisans... And adumbass Massacre and a ? statue head with an autistic kid sprinkled in.

    If you believe this than you don't know anything about movies or what constitutes a good quality movie.
