By far Spike Lee's best self penned film. It is a seething, angry, work of art, that upon it's release seemed a little dated.(my opinion) Today, aided by over two decades of distance, it is the raw and potent film I believe Mr. Lee intended it to be. I re-watched it in response to the Ammo book of the film. There are a few problems, the color pallet, the cartoon-y characterizations, still, it is well worth a look.

I was not engaged during the first half (or maybe the first third?) it was all yelling and arguing, but then as the set comes into dawn and everything is cooling down the climax kicked in and I was all wide awake like I just drank some energizer drink.

Terrific opening credits and memorable climax. Other than that, quite disappointing and riddled with incredibly annoying characters. Meh.

Show this movie to young children and old people and both severe and flighty undergrads. Break the film down, pin its references, chronicle its quotable lines and memorable shots. Make movies or politics or both in part because of this film. Whatever you do, do the right thing.

Everyone discover this movie as a teenager? 'Cause that should be mandatory. Opening credits Rosie Perez dancing to Fight the Power is a rite of passage.

A majority of this film is somewhat neutral, but the 3rd half is intense. It really gets your interest

Good to know we will always have a film like "Do the Right Thing" to show that Haggisses and Iñárritus are just presumptuous index pages.

I saw this in a Manhattan movie theatre when it first opened. It is one of the quintessential New York movies.

As soon as the opening credits begin, I fell madly in love with Rosie Perez and her funky-fresh dance moves.

My expectations of this movie over the past 20 years were way off the mark. I liked Do the Right Thing but I felt like I was watching 2 different movies. The first a series of slice-of-life vignettes and once the shit hits the fan... absolute madness. Spike Lee's visual style is pretty great even if this felt like a student film with a big budget. Also Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis were fantastic.

A film that lures you in with vibrant colors and fanciful dialogue, only to tear you asunder with its powerful, literally explosive climax.

As relevant today as when it was released mores the pity. A powerful film, a story we should all watch and remember.

Amazing. I loved this movie and all of the different shots, such as the mug shots, and the narrative throughout the film. Shocking, twists and turns.

I wonder if there is a film today that serves as a greater testament to the state of humanity.

I wasn't expecting something this good. I don't want to talk about anti-racism themes, I just want to say it was as well-made as a masterpiece. Yes, this film is very well made. It flows flawlessly.

This to me was Spike at his best, capturing the hostilities that break out on a burning day in Bed-Sty. Colors are wonderfully lush and add to the oppressive atmosphere he creates in this movie. Performances are excellent, especially Danny Aiello as Sal.
