I agree. And I respect the fact that everyone isn't going to agree on what is or isn't a good TP movie, and that's fine. The larger point is - like everyone else in Hollywood - TP has the ability to make movies for us to like or dislike. I think the thing that gets us in trouble is because TP's movies are (mostly) black and involve a mostly black cast or audience, that each one HAS to be good. And I think that is due to the fact that there are not a lot of black movies being made and we automatically expect the few that do come out to be great each time...which isn't going to always happen.
TP should be appreciated rather than criticized. He brings black actors to forefront. What I really want him to do is be the bad guy in a movie. Like how Denzel in Training Day.
