Da 5 Bloods is quite some undertaking. By and large Lee succeeds, even if along the way the story hits some cul-de-sacs...

4/5

From its sweeping jungle vistas to its full-fat orchestral score from Terence Blanchard, Da 5 Bloods often feels like an old-fashioned Hollywood adventure. But reality keeps pushing its way through in ways that can't be ignored.

3.5/4

By the end, you'll be spent, dazed, perhaps even confused - but stunned, too, at the audacity of it all and the feeling that it is, so unequivocally, the right movie at the right time.

4/5

Da 5 Bloods slowly graduates from political sub-text to essential text, a crucial, dramatic, meaty Vietnam movie that successfully attempts to redress a genuine historical imbalance in cinema...

10/10

The film is racially diverse with its cast of Black male characters, Vietnamese characters, and French characters. There are some moments of darkness and poignance, but they tend to be balanced with some light comedy and high-spirits.

Da 5 Bloods is an action/adventure picture for sure, but like the best of Spike Lee films it’s one that revels and savagely critiques its genre trappings and inspirations, never losing sight of its own ambitions and fierce moral codes.

The critical appreciation of this movie reflects the political scene in Europe today: the critics say how wonderful it is, just as the governing elites tell us all is well; whereas the audience can see it is a terrible movie where everything is wrong. I love movies, and, I am a very generous viewer. I like to like, and, can usually see something good in a given movie. This movie I could not even finish. It made me feel so sad, especially because I was aware of all the positive buzz around it. Furthermore I really love the cast, but this was a real dud. I got the impression that the cast had a really good laugh making the film, but it just didn't work at all. It happens. What really sucks is the hypocrisy and the lies. That's what's really frightening here.

I really don’t understand the negative reviews. Very powerful movie. Spike Lee isn’t afraid to tell history that some folks would rather you forget.

Could be the worst movie Spike Lee has ever been involved in.

After 1/3 of the movie it totally changed its tone and tried very hard to connect to many topics and characters. Lot of Dialoge seamed improv. But Not in a good way. Good actors though. What a waste.

I was very excited immediately disappointed, the action scene LOW budget, Reminisce parts? If Chadwick(peace) wasn't in scene would've never known time line. Spike couldn't hire Ai specialist to CGI their age? WHT WAS THAT? CIA Couldn't find that gold but umm yea they um yeah no. But aside from that for Spikes to pull a LOW BUDGET like this? Money grab.. I don't normally write reviews, just soooo upset N disappointed
