Sorry, I don't think your skin color has anything to do with it.
It's not that nobody cares because they are black girls...
The thing is, he is famous, he has money, he has power, he has fans, connections,
and a lot of people probably think they are after the money.
Some girls saw R Kelly as a chance to become big too.
They let him do whatever he wants on hope for better days.
He has money and some people are buy-able. Also to shut people up.
It's a heartbreaking documentary! I'm shocked...
What shocked me the most is that he gets away with this, he should be locked up for life.
He destroyed the lives of so many people. the young girls are not to blame here.
We need justice for those victims.
It saddens me to see how naive some people are to this day and want to believe that he is innocent.
I can't believe the people that still support him.
There was one girl Jerhonda Pace that went to his trial, supporting him.
She knew, and you can tell me everything but this girl was after him. Sorry!
R Kelly is for sure a predator a disgusting pedophile and he made a lot of innocent victims.
But her story didn't add up to me.
After this documentary I watched some more interviews she did, and sorry but I don't believe some things she is saying.
I hope there comes justice for his victims.
For a man to use his position and power to abuse women and enslave minors for his sexual pleasure is disgusting and evil.
He got away with this for way too long!
I'm trying to understand what I just watched. I mean, this is undoubtedly terrible in every way, but it's also... kind of great? I'm not sure.
The whole thing screams low budget and at times it doesn't look much different to a student production that you might see on YouTube. The acting is very mixed and the special effects would have looked dated 30 years ago. The first episode especially makes these issues extremely clear with some awful quality greenscreening and amateur CG visuals.
And yet, this web series knows what it is. It fully embraces its cheapness and decides to have fun. Of all things, the writing is actually fairly good, even hilarious at points. It feels like the people behind this had a lot of affection for the original Critters series and wanted to make something that could stand with them. They obviously didn't have the resources for that, so they were forced to do what they could.
From a story point-of-view, this is surprising. It goes into some new territory and does so with a smile on its face. The first few episodes don't suggest just where this is going to go (and their low quality in comparison to what comes later is a bit of a stumbling block). One of the biggest changes is that the Crites are far more intelligent here than the ones we saw in the films, and I ended up really liking that. They are the stars of the series and are given a lot to do, as well talking to each other a lot (via subtitles), and most of what they say is genuinely funny.
A surprise celebrity voice performance towards the end works far better than I would have expected it to.
The Crites are realised through puppetry just as they were in the movies, and they look about the same as they did back then. That is to say, kind of cheesy but also surprisingly charming. This is gorier and more adult than the film series (which mostly got away with '12' ratings here in the UK) and also a lot sillier.
I very much doubt this is going to have much of an audience given it's method of distribution, lack of publicity and extreme low budget. I think only big fans of the Critters movies will get anything out of this, and fortunately that includes me. This isn't good by any means, but damn it, I had fun.
