Purely Joyful Movie!
... View MoreThis is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
... View MoreThis is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
... View MoreThe movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
... View MoreNot sure where to even start. Acting is not good. Saw a couple of parts where an actor looked away from what was going on and directly at the camera instead! Now for the main so called actor, rapper. For one, his acting is laughable. And two, he is also hard to even look at. Not exactly easy on the eyes. He might think he's a pretty boy, but he's a legend in his own mind only.
... View MoreThis movie is great, as far as entrainment value is concerned. There's a point (about 12 minutes in) where you just start laughing at how bad the movie is. The story is horrible (it doesn't seem to flow), the acting is terrible, and the set design is the worst I've ever seen in a movie! It's like The Game and the guy who played Omar on the Wire (because that's exactly who is character is) decided to make a movie one day during a smoke session, and viola!Highlights to look out for. -The Mehican drug lord who always refers to his cocaine as 'coca' -The blunt props that you can tell are just normal cigars (or cigar props) -The referral to every woman as bitch and of course the lesson passed down on why not to be a 'rat-ass snitch' and why snitching is bad. Oh and how could I forget the dea agent (whose like 40 years old) falling in love with The Game, I didn't see that one coming.Seriously though, watch it, especially watch it if you're an aspiring film maker, as it will motivate you to say, I can make something way better than this crap. But as far as entertainment value goes, 10 out of 10, it's funnier than most comedies I've seen in recent years. Hilarious movie! watch it!
... View MoreAfter reading all of these commentaries, I now comprehend the reason why I fell asleep on it. While the originial "Belly" wasn't exactly a rated "A" movie, it at least had a bit of realism. This movie appears that it was titled as a namesake in order to gain an audience. Now as far as Shari Headley.....Damn, does sistah gurl need work that bad? I know she's been out of the game (no pun intended) for quite some time, but to make an appearance on a "C" (I'm really being nice w/this rating) rated movie w/displaced acting is pitiful. Although I loved Michael K. William's role as Omar on "The Wire," he could have sat this one out. Oh yeah...and the walk-on of "Snoop"......was a semi "Wire" reunion really necessary for the drug game effect in this wannabe gangsta flix? Gimme a friggin' break! This was soooooo not worth my time viewing. But hey, at least I got a great nap outta it.
... View MoreThe title of this movie should have been a give away of what was to come. Belly 2: Millionaire Boyz Club. There was a made for TV movie called Billionares Boys Club in the 80's. Changing billion to million and boys to boyz doesn't cut it. Belly by Hype Williams is a crime classic hands down. Belly 2 is nowhere close to the original. The Game is a talented music artist, not an actor. On screen he doesn't seem comfortable. Check out his role in Street Kings for further proof. DMX and NAS in the original Belly have a presence. Us movie fans can't see what is happening behind the scenes, but it looks like every director pushes The Game to act over the top as a criminal. They might as well have him wear a hat and shirt that screams I AM A GANGSTER! It doesn't fly with movie fans. DMX and NAS had a subtle edge to them in Belly. If this movie was not called Belly 2 movie fans may have not expected as much. It was not close to the original.
