About
You’ll probably enjoy Black Dynamite’s fast, loud parody of 70s blaxploitation action if you like over-the-top humor and genre nods; Not for you if messy plotting or deliberately exaggerated tones bother you.
Pros: nonstop comedy; bold genre love; standout lead performance | Cons: plot feels messy; characters may feel disconnected; jokes may not land
