lets talk about Get Rich Or Die Trying the movie.

i love 50, but he should have another dude play him. film had a great director in Jim Sheridan, who made his name with one the of the goat actors daniel day lewis. the script was written by the creator of boardwalk empire. i felt it even had a nice angle on a story. how close the rap game is to the street game. we always know that has been true, but we needed to see both those angles together. we know a lot of rappers been extorted etc. i even liked some of the cinamatography.

had joy bryant

viola davis


what brought this film down was 50, the worst actor since nas.

imagine chadwick boseman playing 50's character. shyt, these rappers need to just swallow their pride and let a real actor play them.

8 mile was horrible but white privelage gave em a pass and critocs acted like that dude could act.

is there any thing about that film that you liked or was it just horrible.


i watch the trailer and it had so much potential.

I have to agree that 50 was the worst thing about this movie...it would've been decent if not for 50; its still light years better than that garbage ass Notorious movie though

 

[Mike Otherz]

nvm

the fake ja rule

I honestly felt that the movie was pretty decent, kinda underrated.
Of course, no way in hell would 50 let someone else play him in the movie, he was just starting in his Acting career. Why give someone ELSE that shine?

For some of ya' older fellers, what was all the hate from the black community towards the 50 Cent, and in particular towards this movie?

 

[KENNY DA COOKER]

Any film with BILL DUKE in it could do no wrong

That scene with him playing "fat cat" meeting 50 at The cemetary was epic

I thought the movie was dope for what it was, 8 Mile too. Both solid 7-8/10

 

[tonyclifton]

Saw it again last night. It's averaged at best

Pacing is all fukked up and fifty has the acting skills of a rock with eyes painted on it


Still entertaining for what it is though. This wasn't meant to be a top tier movie

 

[Yehuda]

I think it's OK. Like poster above me said it wasn't meant to be a top tier, Godfather type of movie.

 

[SpacelySprockets]

at the hate, the movie was far from bad

 

[The God Poster]

Avg movie, lets talk bout the soundtrack being top 5 tho

at the hate, the movie was far from bad

it wasnt bad, but that shyt could have been better. coul dsay that about every movie though. 50;s acting. when joy bryant pulling his braces out at the end my dude cant du many expressions of emotions, he basically got one look

 

[Positive Posting]

Dope movie, Idk What Yall Talkin bout.

 

[NoHalfWay]

The movie was good

I don't fukk with cacinem much either but 8 Mile was good too
