My personal ranking of the Shaft films: Shaft > Shaft > Shaft
Jeremy CrabbA royal insult to a blaxploitation icon, Shaft sees former Fantastic Four ruiner Tim Story mucking up another beloved property to deliver a horrendously regressive and wildly tone-deaf disaster of a belated sequel peppered with obnoxious characters, tired jokes, uninspired…
Dawson JoyceJul 1, 2019Of all the movies named Shaft, this one has the most characters actually named Shaft. (Also, did I misread the other Shafts, or did they suddenly turn this relatively serious — or at least straight-faced — franchise into a comedy? Either way, Roundtree is still so cool…

At least I chuckled a bunch.
sofyanJun 13, 2019Letterboxd is going to absolutely hate this and that is probably why I liked it
wumboJun 14, 2019There’s almost nothing that I liked or enjoyed in this movie... I also found it extremely hard to pay attention due to never really caring about anything that was happening.

So finally get to watch this movie after being buried on my Netflix queue since it got released. Unfortunately, this got so much negative reviews and a bad reception I never felt inclined to give it a watch, though I was still somewhat intrigued after having so fond…
Rafael "Mister Movie" JovineJun 28, 2019Is it just me or does this feel really dated? Not going to say I don't enjoy hanging out with Samuel L Jackson though.
hamfruitcakeJun 14, 2019🚫42% YouTube review - Click HERE 2019 list - Click HERE Shaft is an unnecessary movie, directed by a director that just can’t seem to find his groove. Samuel L. Jackson is the only thing that keeps this film going. The movie has some fun to it and it (at times) manages to…

Despite a few laughs, it’s a film that panders to a general audience with the funky musical score of a blaxploitation flick but none of the heart, spirit, or outrage.

By the end, when the three Shafts hit the streets in identical long coats like something out of The Matrix, the message is clear. Rough justice is back to stay. Women are out of the picture, except for sex. Dinosaurs again walk the earth with misogynistic and homophobic impunity. These are the laughs, folks. Don’t be surprised if they stick in your throat.

You occasionally sense the presence of an interesting movie struggling to get out of this hyperactive action comedy — or even just a better Tim Story action comedy, something like “Ride Along” or “Ride Along 2.”
