Thanks for posting in a thread which doesn't interest you at all.
Had a great time watching this last night, though there were a few minutes that I didn't really pay attention to. Some guy kept rapping along with the movie, dancing in the aisles and lighting up Black N Milds in the theater. So security showed up and there was a little bit of yelling back and forth before he finally got up and left. And then someone yelled, "Fuck the police!"

When Pac died almost everyone who was with Suge finally realized that he was dangerous to be with. Snoop practically had to change his ways from being a hardcore gangsta crip to being a little family friendly just so he can avoid all the drama. This movie's portrayal is pretty accurate to many documentaries that describe Suge's mafia tactics and lifestyle.

I don't usually watch movie review shows but that was hilarious.

You right about that. Eazy-E's actor acted his ass off and I was thinking the same thing about Ride Along 2.

These are the kinds of shenanigans I expect at a screening of the NWA movie. I'm sorry I won't be able to see it this weekend.
These dudes are the shit, most youtube reviewers make me want to scrape my urethra with a rusty screwdriver, but these dudes are the truth

They all came from Spill dot com. They're one of my favorite movie reviewers.
That doesn't reflect badly on Walt Disney though. It's not the same as dre beating on woman. If Walt was the one doin the beating they might be comparable.
These guys are fucking amazing.

Can't wait to go see this in a couple of days. I think one of my main draws will be to hear some of the music I grew up with in a huge theater with amazing sound. And I don't know much about the people behind the music so this will mostly be new to me. Glad to hear impressions have been positive.
Wait, the Spill guys are still doing reviews? WHY AM I JUST FINDING OUT ABOUT THIS?!
Anyways, just got back from it will probably end up in my top 10 this year. I felt like the script flowed really well and was one of the strongest parts of the film, but the thing that really surprised me was the acting. I thought everyone absolutely nailed their role. It was amazing from a collective and individual standpoint.

Man, that dude was crazy. With the way they had him in the shadow, I was half thinking that they just used cgi for that part.

Are we getting a DJ Quik spinoff as part of the CCU (Compton Cinematic Universe)?
Was surprised how strong he came off at the end.
Between the last meeting with Jerry, uniting with Cube, and finding out he had AIDs. He acted his ass off.
Its a shame they didn't keep it as an Easy-E biopic, but still great.

I didn't know beforehand that he dies of AIDS so I was figuring like cancer or something similar due to all the couching going on. Speaking of which, I wish they hadn't telegraphed that as much. It was a little bit too obvious IMO.
Great movie overall though. I will say that.
After the Coolio movie of course...
Yea thats the only thing I wish they showed they wasnt shown, but it was a great movie I hope its more deleted scenes in the bluray will buy that day one too
I don't know what you expected them to do. You don't just get HIV, then die without showing any symptoms.
Will we get a cameo from Cedric Ceballos ?
Why increase security for shootings when you can do it when all those black folks are coming out to have a good time
Pac recorded a lot of music, I wouldnt be surprised if he did record Hail Mary earlier but didnt use it until makaveli and not on his first Death row album

Great movie although I feel they didn't know how to end it. Second half a lot weaker. Lotta fun watching it in a packed movie theater, crowd loved it.
Puff don't fucking play,
I would love a Biggie X 2 Pac movie directed in the way this movie was, but Puff would never let it happen most likely
Start from each other their starts and have it lead up to the climax
lol
Eazy E dying of AIDs wasn't a secret or something. It's an integral part of his legacy. Of course they're gonna show him getting sicker toward the end.

No no, I get it. I guess it's a general movie trope that bothers me.
maybe when all parties are dead.

Just saw this today, it was a pretty great movie. I do agree they could have went into more detail and some stuff was glossed over, but the runtime of the movie is already quite long, it's likely they realized this and decided against it. It's still an enjoyable viewing experience in spite of that.
Are ypu suggesting we kill Puff Daddy?

Nah fuck that I can tell you what I expected. Like in ol' review boy posted I think they could've been more smooth with that shit, you know subtle. Show it through tenseness in the muscles of the throat, coughing without it seeming as a prod like lay it out in small doses without in the middle of a convo. You know be creep on that shit ya feel me?
Can't wait.
