Undescribable Perfection
... View MoreHighly Overrated But Still Good
... View MoreAlthough I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
... View MoreI enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
... View MoreMe myself I don't really like rap or hip-hop. But it's nice to know what these men went through on the road to fame and success. Yeah it was a rocky road and they're not the best or Perfect People but they still are people who had real life stories to tell. No they're not my heroes, they are still people which perspective. I recommend this movie to anybody with an open mind who wants to see a portrayal of what it was like to grow up in this situation.Don't mind the one star ratings they're just spam
... View MoreI've seen a lot of people saying that the acting is artificial, but I completely disagree. Well chosen actors, well written screenplay. But there are few things that they didn't mentioned. For example Arabian Prince was also a member of NWA. They also didn't mentioned Snoop dogg & Dr.Dre dissing Eazy-E and Eazy-E dissing them back. But it doesn't really matter. If you're not familiar with the artist that was mentioned on the movie, it probably won't impress you that much.
... View MoreDre and Ice cube are producers and so one can see the the way they whitewash certain aspects of their early lives. Having said that, the movie is done reasonably well. Ice Cube's son is pretty good casting as he resembles and sounds like his dad. The highlight of the movie is Jason Mitchell who is great as Easy E. JAson Mitchell deserved an acting nomination as he is one of our emerging great actors and has a very engaging screen presence as one can see in this movie and the TV series Chi. Paul Giamatti is good, but i wish they showed just a little more nuance in his shady character in the second half of the movie.
... View MoreAs a movie, it's great. The casting was spot on and the actors are perfect. It keeps you on the age of your seat for the first 1hr 45 mins and then winds down from there. It has some humour in it and shows the human side of them all. They all have their flaws, but they have qualities that outweigh them. I loved this as a movie. 7 is a high score for me and I would have given this movie an 8 if not for the last hour of the movie. The portrayal of Eazy-E struggling seems very disrespectful to me. If Eric were alive, would he have wanted himself being portrayed that way? He had a good solo career, he was working closely with Bone Thugs n Harmony who were nowhere to be seen. It skipped his rap beef with Dre and his diss records to Death Row and Suge Knight. He even ends up bagging up cannabis to sell and make ends meet. It's very disrespectful to a man who isn't here to see that his legacy get's shown tastefully. He was a very proud man and would want to come across as stronger. When Future generations watch this movie they will think Eric was a struggling solo rapper who couldn't function without NWA. The truth is he wasn't doing too bad financially, he had a successful solo career that was only slowed down due to his deteriorating health, and was helping many up and coming artists. He was still being paid for every record Dre sent out for the time he was under contract with Ruthless.Despite it being a very good movie, it isn't the best biopic due to their portrayal of Eazy-E.
