Black Lightning Audience Reviews

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

daijahcheaney Despite the past work from D.C. Comics this show is a beautiful marriage between D.C and CW. It captures the realms of black fatherhood, the struggles of the black community, sexuality, feminism, and so much more. It also manages to do a stellar job at depicting a black superhero. I believe most of these negative reviews are done by white people who don't like seeing black people be truthful whether it be in art or in reality. If this isn't the show for you so be it but to give this show anything below a 3 star rating is obsurd and distasteful. I enjoy this show more than Luke Cage and I'm no comic connoisseur but I know what I like and I definitely like black lightning. The actors do a great job of potraying the characters and the writing is good. If your wondering about the show please watch and don't let negative, racist people mislead you. I was once that person that passed on this show numerous times but now I'm glad I finally am in the know about this great piece of art.

heydiddlediddle007 The acting is horrible, dreadful. The youngest daughter is so annoying she almost single handedly ruined it all. Just all around a yawner

imrijt Ok first i thought the show was a bit corny, but the more i kept watching it the more i came away impressed. I think it's a great blend of heroism and social awareness. The acting is wayyyyy better than Luke Cage! I recommend this show absolutely, you might just need some time to let it grow on you.

beverly-gibson Great characters, well written, great acting and was a pleasant surprise! I don't understand the super negative reviews. This show is really good!
