Better than most people think

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Ok I think it's fair to say that straight outta Compton was a huge success when it came to the cinemas back in 2015. It portrays rap group N.W.A which consisted of Ice Cube, Dr Dre, Eazy-E, MC Ren and DJ Yella. I want to start by saying if you haven't seen it you must. The acting, soundtrack and violence made this movie brilliant and portrayed life back in the 80s when the police were corrupt and seen all blacks people as threats and not treated as equal as whites were. You have to understand that since this is a huge Hollywood movie there will be some tweaks made and changed to makes this movie as much as a drama as they could. Now I know people are saying they weren't heroes but they never were meant to be heroes. They are displayed as lyrical geniuses who stood up for what they believed in and expressed how they felt on tape recorders, vinyls etc. They went from having nothing in life to being millionaires who could party and buy whatever they like. Also people seem to not understand the sexual part. Back in the day of rap, all these rap groups and companies had woman who were referred to as hoes. Who basically they could sleep with or have anything done to them whenever they like. That was a huge factor back in the day. Sure it was bad and made woman look bad. But that was a huge concept in rap and it still is to this day.But I still think this is the best movie ever made. Full of drama and entertainment, good music and emotional scenes. I'd say forget the bad ratings and watch it yourself and gather your own opinion on it.

I would have given this film a better rating if the Dre/Dee Barnes incident had been included. Maybe a 6 for authenticity or something. I've been in South Central at midnight--and places in L.A. just as dangerous. So I've brushed shoulders with those who have been marginalized and have not looked to Jesus for their salvation but to drugs, sex, and money/power--all of which fail every one of us in the end. Anyway, this film should be Rated X even if for the one scene alone that shows actual cunnilingus and very possibly coitus, though the latter could have been simulated. But the Dee Barnes attack by Dr. Dre was never mentioned, and this is wrong. It should have been. It's an important part of the picture. Without it, the NWA crew are mostly made out to be good guys battling White America. But as rapper Sevin of HOGMOB so adroitly puts it, "It's not a skin issue, it's a sin issue."

Straight Outta CamptonRunning for 166 minutes, Straight Outta Campton offers enough material especially after the first act and the perfect depiction with historical accuracy and genuine portrayals of real time characters. Its all the razzle dazzle as expected and also genuine emotions running within it to connect with a familiar story and still keeping it interesting. F. Gary Gary is excellent as a director he gives enough space and executes each and every frame perfectly with the help of amazing screenplay that allows enough range and space for the actors to flaunt their talents. But in the end, what itches is the overlong stretched script especially its first act which could have easily been edited and helped to boost up the script a bit.

When you think of rap you think of biggie , 2pac , nwa and not to disappoint after having to follow notorious which was the bio movie iv seen in years but straight outta Compton has blew it away it was incredible i think what made it the movie it was was the people who played nwa members eazy e , dr dre ,ren ,yella and to top it off ice cubes son played a younger cube overall it was 10 outta 10 would of gave it 11 if i could
