Following positive social media reactions, the first full reviews for Black Panther director Ryan Coogler's Sinners are in (via FearHQ.com), and they're even more glowing.

Though some write-ups do point out issues with the Jim Crow-era vampire drama (the lengthy run-time, an overstuffed third act), we haven't come across an entirely negative verdict yet, and the movie is currently sitting at a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 37 reviews.

Pretty much every aspect of Sinners is coming in for praise, from the performances to the script to the score/soundtrack, and many critics are hailing the film as Coogler's best work to date.

The RT Critics Consensus reads: "Thematically rich as a Great American Novel and just plain rip-roaring fun, writer-director Ryan Coogler's first original blockbuster reveals the full scope of his singular imagination with unforgettable panache."

You can have a read through the reviews at the links below.

Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers (Jordan) return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.

“You keep dancing with the devil, one day he’s gonna follow you home.”

Written and directed by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Coogler, Sinners stars Jordan (the Black Panther and Creed franchises) in a dual role, joined by Oscar nominee Hailee Steinfeld (Bumblebee, True Grit), Jack O’Connell (Ferrari), Wunmi Mosaku (Passenger), Jayme Lawson (The Woman King), Omar Miller (True Lies), Miles Caton, and Delroy Lindo (Da 5 Bloods).

The film is produced by Zinzi Coogler, Sev Ohanian and Ryan Coogler. The executive producers are Ludwig Göransson, Will Greenfield and Rebecca Cho.

Warner Bros will release Coogler's Sinners in US theaters nationwide starting April 18th, 2025.

@AllsNotGood - you ain't even watched the movie. It is allowed to be good. Man, black people just don't win in your eyes.

I'll be watching.

Well it triggers the politics of the reviewers; they know to give it a good review or risk being branded as racist.

@Pictilli - And what if the movie is actually good. It's only 37 reviews up so far. I'm sure that percantage will change.

@NoDaysOff - could be...but reviewers will exaggerate how good it is to signal hard about their politics.

@Pictilli - And why is that your belief? Because I'm guessing it's more opinionated than fact based.

Because I'm sure alot of people could say the same about Nolan's movies. They've all had rave reviews but the flaws are often less than spoken about.

@NoDaysOff - because critics pretty much always do this for politically charged products.

@NoDaysOff - dude, I’m REALLY stoked to see this too, don’t get me wrong, but 100%?! come on. We know that’s because people are too afraid to say anything negative about a black film in the historic south. Again, I think this looks frigging awesome... but I REALLY doubt this is a flawless film.

@Demigods - there's only 37 reviews (last i checked).

I would be suspicious too if that was still the case 150+ in. But imagine if a film actually managed that and he was white or Asian, what would be the excuse then? Nah fam. I'm sure the movie is dope. Black or not all of Coogler's films have been upper tier.

@Pictilli - Black people can make quality films that draw deserved praise. You sound like a mediocre individual who's used to falling back on accusing others of bias because it's happened that he doesn't get what he wants when he wants it. Sorry that's happened to you.

@NoDaysOff - It wouldn’t happen with a white or asian film unless it was pandering to the very left leaning critics.

Again, I really think this is going to be awesome. I’m not saying it’s a bad movie or that this shouldn’t have a 90%+ on RT. I just think when you see 100% by more than 5 people, that’s some politically motivated nonsense. Acknowledging that isn’t a bad thing. If there was a seemingly VERY clearly right leaning movie that only Fox News commentators reviewed and it got 100% for the first 30 reviews, I’d be saying the same exact thing, but with a bit more vitriol.

Personally, I think BP was mediocre, at best. Nothing new (besides black people), not all that inspired, horrendous CGI. Not all of Coogler’s films have been upper tier, but that’s my opinion. It’s okay to disagree.

But I do think that this will be upper tier. I’m stoked to see it. Just this type of critical reception has me rolling my eyes is all. Its just annoying. Can we just get a legit review without trying to prove how much of an ally you (not you, but directed at the->) [frick]ing nerd ass critics are. Stop with the great white savior complex.

@Demigods - Its important to note that a 100% on rotten tomatoes does not equate to flawless film. It quite literally means no has rated it as poor. Remember..by rotten tomatoes own metrics your review only hits rotten if you scored it as below 60%

@BlackStar25 - Yep! Totally forgot that for a second. Someone pointed that out and I haven’t deleted my comments because I think we can have some solid dialogue about the topic and the movie, but you’re 100% right. I screwed that up. Appreciate the call out btw!

The warped reality some of you live in 😂😂😂

Anyways!

Coogler hasn't missed yet, so I'm down to watch!

@JurassicClunge - I’ve enjoyed everything he’s put out there that I’ve seen, but I don’t think his movies are the masterpieces that everyone makes them out to be. I think he’s great visually, but his stories have lacked imagination for the most part IMO.

I’m really stoked to see this and I do think this is going to be pretty [frick]ing awesome... but a flawless film? C’mon. Get [frick]ing real. Critics never do that shit for vampire films unless there’s some politics motivating it. Especially right now with he orange dick head censoring “woke” art.

@Demigods - i get what you mean but I haven't come across a single person that says his films are flawless.

Also you have to remember that RT is a like or dislike ranking so if you thought the movie was a 7/10 or 6/10 it's still counts as a fresh we leads to a perfect score. Metracritic systems are usually far more accurate 👀

@JurassicClunge - that’s right! totally forgot that part! Good call. My bad. Completely forgot that RT was all or nothing type reviews.

@Demigods - yep it's pretty misleading 😅😅
