Movie: There has been a lot of movies out lately that have drawn a lot of peoples attention, but I got to see a preview of All Eyez On Me, if you don't know what the movie is about it tells the true story of the legendary rapper Tupac. Now as you know there is many hardcore fans out there for Pac and to get this movie right was crucial. Now I loved the movie but I think more thought and detail could of gone into it. When creating a movie your audience is going to be hardcore fans and people who may not have an idea of the whole story and watching the movie will give them a clear recount of the story that's being told, and I think All Eyez on me did that well. There is other movies about other legendary rappers like Notorious which tells the story of Biggie smalls and Straight Outta Compton directed by F. Gary Grey. In my opinion I think straight outta Compton is a better movie than All Eyes On Me but not drastically.
Actors: Demetrius Shipp Jr. played Tupac and did a outstanding job in doing so, he sounded like Pac, he looked like Pac, and acted like Pac and I think he was perfect for the role. Biggie Smalls was in the movie and the movie decided to recycle the old Notorious B.I.G from the movie Notorious, which I think was fine although in Notorious Jamal Woolard ( Biggie ) had the right weight for the role because as you may know Biggie was a massive person often being insulted for being fat but in All Eyez On Me, Jamal Woolard had lost some weight since the Notorious movie a decade ago and his weight was too light for the role in my opinion. There was a few horrible casting roles for this movie like Nas, the actor was great with his skill but no where did he look like the real Nas, the same case was also with Dr Dre, not saying the actor sucked but he does not look like the real Dre. Snoop Dogg however sounds exactly like the real Snoop its scary. I thought it was the real snoop doing a voice over or something, and he kind of did look like the real Snoop Dogg. Suge Knight wasn't recycled from Straight Outta Compton, actually the actor who play Suge Knight in Straight Outta Compton just recently got arrested for assault guess he decided to stay in character. Danai Gurira played Afeni Shakur, Tupac's mother and I got to say she did an outstanding performance, you can tell she did her homework and it really felt like it was the real Afeni in the movie.
Story: Tupac has a great story behind him and it deserves to be spread out to the public, I really loved watching Pacs life on the big screen. I really enjoyed watching this movie although he had a magnificent story I feel like there wasn't enough detail and the movie didn't have its full potential like the movie Unbroken was accused for. The thing that bothered me was as an example in Straight Outta Compton parts of the movie thoroughly told what happened before they got famous, during they got famous, and showed some footage on after they were famous, now I'm not saying Straight Outta Compton was a perfect movie because it did have some faults but the way the whole movie was set out was great, but in All Eyez On Me it shows parts of his life before he blew up in the music industry and then straight to " Juice " and Death row and things like that and I think that's was let down the movie a bit.
Feedback: Go see this movie if you are a hardcore fan of the legend or if you are interested in watching his story, I really recommend it to everyone. This movie showed how much of a real person Pac was. In my opinion what really would of made this movie great is if they made Straight Outta Compton, Notorious and All Eyez On Me connected that really would of been great because there is a little bit of scenes that were used in Straight Outta Compton and Notorious, it would of fit well because of the recycled Biggie too. One thing about this movie though is that they made Nas and Snoop look real bad as if they were bad people. I could tell they tried to avoid doing that with Biggie and Suge Knight, but they did make these two look like bad people, not so much Snoop more Nas though. I'm not comparing this to 8 Mile; Eminem's movie or Get Rich Or Die Trying; 50 cent's movie because them movies are about before they got famous not during or after. All Eyez On Me did a good job showing the relationships that Pac had with people at home, family, and people he met. The action shots in this movie were done brilliant; scenes with gunshots and action scenes and things like that. I strongly recommend people checking out this movie on how the legend became who he is today. I enjoyed watching an important part of Hip Hops story, you would enjoy this movie more if you are already interested and love Tupac like me even though he died before I was born. I rate this movie a 7.8/10. If you want check out my Youtube channel where I review movie titles such as this one and others.
