It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Yes. Even though this 1993 bio-picture was a somewhat exaggerated retelling of 22 years (1958-1980) in the turbulent life of famed pop singer, Tina Turner - It was still, without question, certainly well-worth a view.Packed with plenty of brutally-fierce drama, and high-energy musical numbers - Both actress, Angela Bassett, and actor, Laurence Fishburne gave convincing, top-notch performances as a pair of dynamic performers and ill-fated lovers whose repeated head-on collisions with each other could only lead to one final conclusion.All-in-all - I recommend this picture, highly.*Trivia notes* - Angela Bassett's singing was all dubbed by Tina Turner.Director, Brian Gibson died in 2004.

This is maybe a first time I heard about Tina Turner and her songs. In short,the film was very interesting.Acctualy,Ithink that every biography is interesting. The first scene is cute and catchy.But,for the beginning of the film,we see that her childhood was not happy.And that will form her adulthood. So there is one interesting dimension of film:the wounds from childhood.Then we skip few years to the very important moment of her life:the first touch with Ike and The kings of rhythm.The acting is amazingly good.I felt every characters feelings. The most interesting is Ike:he is charming but violent,from the beginning he want's to dominate to others.Because of a lession that film gives and extraordinary quality of the film,it is useful to watch it.

This film is truly extraordinary. This is one of those films that you will not forget about. Angela Bassett portrayed Tina Turner perfectly in this movie. Whether you were a fan of Tina Turner's music or not you will feel some type of respect for her and what she went through after watching this film. She lived a life that not too many people were familiar with. This movie teaches you so much about her and what she went through and that celebrities aren't always as happy as they appear to be and that behind the scenes anything goes. Tina's husband Ike Turner, who was played by Laurence Fishburne, used and abused her in the movie. He initially got her started and made her a big star but he controlled all aspects of her musical career, and her life! He became obsessed with her and would beat her a lot. After years of being in this domestic violence filled relationship Tina finally came to her senses and left her, it took a lot of years because she was very gullible. This movie is so interesting and it will keep viewers captured all the way to the end because they want to figure out how it will end. Will she fight back? Will he kill her? Will she kill him? These were questions that were going through my mind as I sat and watched the film. This is one of my favorite films and although the movie reveals Tina's constant struggle with Ike, ironically the movie had it's funny moments. This is a must see. Excellent film 10/10.

What an incredible film!An inspirational tale of an amazing woman who triumphed against all adversity and quite insurmountable odds to become a truly great star of popular music and also found great spirituality...Quite amazing performances from Angela Basset and Laurence Fishburne. As in so many of these kind of movies, the performances distill the essence of the people they portray so that they are almost more their roles than the people themselves, if that is possible.What more can i say...?I recommend this highly.
