Sorry, this movie sucks

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Blistering performances.

I must say that i'm a big fan of Tupac and i really like his music. But this movie is just bad. In my opinion it is the directors fault. All Eyez On Me had many intentions to be a very good movie but the director had to ruin it. The whole movie consists of random scenes combined. And it is so complicated that literally after the movie i was confused. I already knew the story of Tupac and the movie was supposed to (perhaps) clarify some things but instead it was confusing. If you want to learn the story of Tupac i suggest you just read his wikipedia page (which is more articulate) rather than spending 2+ hours watching his (bad made) movie.

Tupac's story is legendary. He is the King of Rap without a doubt. The movie tells his story. Good acting by newcomer Demetrius Shipp.

I watched this movie hoping to hear some good music and see the Biggie vs. Tupac Rivalry. Instead Politics and racism run rampant during the 2 hr 30 min movie, way too long. Def not fun and def not enough music. Plenty of social issues and half truths that are partially explained . My rating is that it def blew my buzz

I just got done watching this movie on HBO and it had my attention through the entire thing. It was engaging, well acted and produced. I guess my expectations were not as high as other reviewers. I didn't expect angels to sing and have Tupac delivered unto me by Charlton Heston-like narration. I expected a biopic about a talented young artist who had a lot to offer who was killed when he was way too young. That's what this movie is about. The movie doesn't romanticize Tupac and the lead actor looks and acts so much like him it's eerie. They show Tupac was in part responsible for sowing the seeds of his own death. I remember that time and there was an incredible amount of anger and hate in Rap music, the East Coast vs West Coast rivalry and with the gangs. When Tupac was killed a lot of people thought, well, that's the thug life. This movie shows that Tupac, despite his prison stay and public posturing, wasn't really about that life at all. He was an artist, who had incredible talent, sensitivity and range. This movie captures that. I liked the movie and will watch it again. As for the haters I really don't know what they were expecting.
