There was a time I liked Samuel L. Jackson but the press clippings went to his head and he essentially played himself in every movie with the same attitude that finally wore very thin.

The last movie he was really good in was 1994's "Die Hard" picture.

Sam's mouth and ignorance have done him in so I am not surprised that this latest film flopped. It would have been better starring the original Shaft star Richard Roundtree. A better actor and star than Jackson.

They need to make a Homo version of the film and call it “Bent Shaft.”

[Bayard]

People are getting sick of Hollywood retreads.

They better start getting original or they will continue to have these major bombs in the box office.

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

You see, that new “Shaft” movie is a baaad mutha.

Shut your mouth.

But I’m talking about new “Shaft”.

Then we can dig it.

[dfwgator]

Isn’t he a bit old for that role?

[RegulatorCountry]

Surprised they didn’t make “Shaft” a female, that seems to be the go-to for Hollywood retread flops.

[Telepathic Intruder]

They should cast a white Shaft in the spirit of diversity.

[nickedknack]

Shaft receipts petered out, and the box office numbers went limp. The flaccid results will disappoint moviegoers and the producers.

He’s been type cast as a member of the comedy team of Jackson, Lee, and Barkley.

Box Office: 'Men In Black,' 'Shaft' And 'Late Night' All Bomb On Friday

My assessment is this: There are actors and there are personalities.

A true actor can play any part/character and make the audience believe.

A personality plays the same part/character in every roll.

It is difficult to find true actors in the 'cult of personality' environment. There are few truly great actors.

What?

[dfwgator]

Shaft Goes Limp!

[wardaddy]

Only time I ever liked Samuel L Jackson was when he took a Lucchese bullet in the head

Loud mouth low IQ toad

No one can replace Chef. RIP Issac Hayes.

Sam needs to go public on his hatred for Trump and white people.

That will help.

[rktman]

Yeah, Richard Roundtree he ain’t. Foul mouth racis’ angry POS,

[jmaroneps37]

But it’s okay because he hates Trump a d America
What’s in your wallet asshole it looks pretty empty. Ha ha ha.

Shaft... where the son of Shaft is an MIT graduate computer nerd? Do they make any movies now without a black computer nerd? (I rewatched The Martian last night, I like it despite Matt Damon, and yes, there is a black astrophysicist computer nerd) And this is a sequel to a remake .... Originality twice removed. Hollywood? I think their self-imposed strictures of political correctness are killing any creativity.

[Carriage Hill]

Jackson is an out-and-out racist.

[CapnJack]

There's only one Shaft suckka ... you dig!?!?!?!
