THE PROBLEM WITH TYLER PERRY MOVIES| RANT

[@amandaw1878]

I hated Tyler perry movies due to repetition of men being abusive or being absent fathers. Or women being abused or searching for love. I understand it's inspired by the women of his life but there are so much more stories he could tell. But it's the same damn thing.

[@kelviannaepperson3677]

Yes and I also hate that he doesn't care about the quality of what he creates

[@rctecopyright]

Yeah but that's what people been patronizing him for so the jokes not on him tbh. I never hated Perry's stuff but I had my fill back around 2006 or so. I saw a couple of the plays and one movie and I was like ok that's enough. But his audience keeps coming back. I give him props since it took till about 2020 for everyone to come around to realizing the flaws. I still give dude his propers tho

Tyler perry always stays safe and it gets predictable and boring.

[@onyx081]

It irks me when people say he's employing other Black people. Yeah, he's employing Black people in front of the camera, but he's not providing *any* opportunities for Black folks behind the scenes (i.e. writers, directors, producers and just Black creatives in general) And it's not like any of these actors he's "employing" are going on to have big careers outside of his low budget movies and TV shows. If anything it probably damages their careers because every one is pointing and laughing at them for being in such a low budget mess. Black folks really need to raise their standards and stop settling for his mediocre nonsense. There are other Black creatives who we could be supporting who actually put out high quality work like, Ava Duvernay, Issa Rae, Jordan Peel etc. to be settling for such buffoonery

Plus the most pivotal scenes in his movies is something he stole from other movies: diary of a mad black woman(ending from officer and a gentleman): I can do bad all by myself (color purple shug Avery church scene), and so on. If you look at his movies, you can find other instances of scene stealing.

[@imlargessbeauty3166]

😁

[@SleepyTogepii]

Tyler Perry’s colorism is so strange to me. In his plays, I can definitely think of several moments where he had the “villain” be a light skinned man and the good man be dark skinned. But when translated to movies, he switched it? I can’t think of one movie where he doesn’t do that. I don’t understand.

[@lacecocoa6272]

I can care less I don't never see dark skin men speaking about Culvers on when I fix dark skin tone women they always cast our skin women as manly masculine meanwhile light skin and some brown skin women as sweet and damsels in distress so I just do not care but I am mad at the way Tyler Perry depicts black women in his movies

[@SleepyTogepii]

My name is my name in his films, most definitely, always! But his plays, from my recollection, it was the opposite. But I definitely could be wrong. It’s been a minute since I’ve seen his plays.

[@sambeezy007]

Its hollywood the hollywood undertone of the dark skinned man being the a**hole and the light one being the best option. Just like how men in hip hop worship lighter women over darker women

Tyler Perry makes sure his male actors are very muscular. Are they taking steroids? The ladies look a hot mess. The First Lady on the Oval her hair and those dresses are horrible and mostly white dresses. One episode last season he had a scene where four black men was shot in the head, for kidnapping the President’s daughter. And Sister episodes the word Bitch is used constantly. Why is it that all the actors want is sex with so many different men? I will not watch the series again , it sucks. The wigs on the actors are awful. U make are black women look stupid. U need help when u are writing the scripts.

[@DarksideBallerina]

As much as I LOVE bad movies, I don’t watch Tyler Perry movies. They’re very formulaic, to the point where I know how to watch these movies with extended family without commenting much. Watch the set up of the black woman done wrong. Leave and clean the kitchen or nap for a bit. Come back for the last 15 or so minutes to watch the villain get punished and the happy ending. A bad movie isn’t fun for me if it’s too predictable.

[@DylanRomanov]

DarksideBallerina Diary of a Mad Black Woman was the only one I enjoyed and it was the first one I watched. Literally every other movie is just like that one. Like during the middle of the movie I expect someone to die or get sick in the middle of nowhere, then the movie goes from ridiculous comedy to really sad for a good half hour. Then there is a gospel song and everything is okay.

Tyler Perry has the means and the time to actually create great content based around us as black people but he refuses. I encourage other black people to look into black cinematography and film history bc he is not the end all be all and never has been.

I thought maybe he wanted them to look different from real life, but yes the wigs are distracting. I couldn’t get into the last movie falling from grace because of it. I don’t make movies, so somebody please explain the hair thing to me. I needed the 😂.

[@touyaslilblueflame6815]

The movie was shot in 5 days so they had to resort to the nearest local Dollor Tree for wigs 😂

Kmsl.... They tried to pull a Darryl in 'coming to America' except that was his real hair

Tyler Perry is overrated. Madea movies are like Ernest movies. Same lame ass characters. Shit just ain’t funny. It’s just over done. I’m glad it’s a black female seeing the same thing I’ve been saying since day one. His movies are limited.

[@dai5angel]

I liked his old stuff because it made sense. The content was better. If he gives other writers a chance to write for him his work can still be great. I believe when he writes for his own shows and movies, people see that he is overwhelmed with costumes and other things on set. We all can see his work lacking quality content. Watching anything Tyler Perry isn't worth my time anymore

[@LuRenemustdie]

The fact that I’m watching a Tyler Perry movie as I’m watching this video 💀

[@jazzee87]

That man has too much money to NOT be able to get a REAL stylist, but instead he’d rather continue to put these actors/actresses in those hard ass hair hats😂😂😂

[@itzjdub282]

There is certainly a demographic Tyler Perry is reaching because that group is eating it up. I'm not one of them

[@mimiactivities8536]

T. Perry is his own biggest fan. That man doesn't know the meaning of being humble.

[@starbrand3726]

Tyler did NOT direct the first movie Diary of a Mad Black Woman. This is why it comes across better than his other films. Tyler recently went back and tried to fix A Fall From Grace on Netflix. He actually re-edited it and Netflix replaced the old version with the remix. It still doesn't help. Tyler's problem is RUSH, RUSH, RUSH. He brags about making these movies fast. A Fall From Grace was made in four days... and it shows.

[@curtisthomas2670]

I remember he said he could make an entire season of one of his tv shows in a couple weeks

[@starbrand3726]

@@curtisthomas2670 Exactly. He's a good business man, and I admire him for having his own studio, but he's producing garbage. A prime example is Madea Boo 2. That movie cost $25 million to make, but when you watch it, none of that money is on the screen. It looks cheap. Tyler pocketed $20 million and used the other $5 million to makes the movie (if that much) and the fact that it's a terrible movie makes it even worse.

[@lilyflower8991]

If he’s trying to put black people on the map, he needs to understand that not everyone is an actor! There are great black writers out there as well that can make his movies and shows MUCH MUCH better!

[@KolaStyles]

Temptation was a good movie but that ending needed to be rewritten. Why did every character stay the same but Jurnee Smollett was switched out with Candace Coke...Bryce aged with grey hair but Melinda (Brandy) didn’t age at all....even still till this day i cannot figure out why that was done

[@verballynonverbal]

If Jurnee was the marriage counselor, it would have given away the ending. I think that's why it was done like that. Brandy should've aged though.

[@brandonhall4547]

Everything you said was so eloquently put and spot on all I can say is I agree 100 percent with every word you said. So accurate.

[@GAshoneybear]

The one movie that I liked was Good Deeds because no character was black and white good or evil. So many of the movies would have been better if characters had been fleshed out more I.e. Get more and better writers.

[@Kohbruh]

I normally can't sit through something like this but I appreciate your perspective and your delivery. You ain't hard to look at either. Lol. We watchin'.

[@torpedoboy4]

Tyler Perry’s work is like Doritos. It fulfills an immediate hunger (to see Black folks on screen), but it’s not the healthiest or most engaging thing you could consume. But it has its place. If you want that full rich steak meal film experience, you should look at someone else’s output.

[@AJWoods32]

I agree with your list of his better films accept for “Why did I Get Married Too?” and “For Colored Girls”. WDGM2 was trash and so overwrought that I wondered if I was even watching the same cast as the first movie! Granted Angela and Marcus will always be well, Angela and Marcus. But Janet Jackson’s character and her relationship with her husband was so overly dramatized beyond measure it was ridiculously bad and depressing.

[@jamesmccray6488]

Well spoken from a beautiful woman; I agree he's not going to change he will continue to put out garbage.

[@howardbutler3209]

If you've seen one Tyler Perry movie, you have pretty much seen them all. They all start and end the same way.

Good review, Mr. Perry needs another film editor, because there are too many goofs in his movies. Also, 90% percent of the time, the damsel in distress never is rescued by the charming hero. The lady either remains heartbroken or she hooks up with another creepy man.

[@kristenmitchell4483]

Omg the wigs! I can’t get past them. Btw I love your makeup!

[@dannyhughes2680]

The public will let you know when you ain't poppin anymore. Eventually he's going to loose his audience in time.

[@anakin.2956]

I hope Perry watches this vid and listens to EVERYTHING that you pointed out. All on point 100! Especially the wigs rant lol

15:34 someone talked about that exact trope on Twitter and I was like “Madea’s Family Reunion?” And they were like “no Diary of a Mad Black Woman” and I was like... is this a trend for him..?

[@IAMTHEKINGOFME]

16:15 He doesn’t like blk women … women period. He a gay man and that’s why women are always being abused in his movies. Yea he took bits and pieces from his life but STILL. You can tell. One of his plays I think madeas goes to jail… the way he (madea) told that lady as she was coming downstairs that she didn’t like her… the dark skinned wife that was cheating w the friend… that was Tyler talking not madea. Look at his face as he walks up on her. This lady played on the TLC Bio movie as TBozs mom.
