Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
It was a dramatic, nice and lovely movie. It's a perfect movie, and I loved to watch it. The movie is a bit long and drawn out, but I loved it anyway
This overly long bio-pic floats along under the conceit of it being an interview with its star, seemingly so that the late rapper can 'narrate' (though there's no actual narration) the majority of the piece without it being a weird posthumous reflection, until it suddenly isn't and the last act plays out 'real time'. This bizarre structural shift only serves to highlight how unnecessary the reflexive flashbacks really were, seeing as how almost everything was shown anyway. When 'All Eyez On Me (2017)' finally reaches its inevitable conclusion, it oddly chooses to have it play out to gospel music. The flick isn't a bad attempt to squeeze twenty-five successful years of life into a single two-and-a-half hour sitting, but that's exactly just what it feels like: a simple effort to shove in all the events that shaped a legacy in nothing more than check-list fashion and, as such, it often lacks the passion and authenticity required to make a film like this really work. Thankfully, there are moments when the feature gets out of its own way and lets the story unfold itself to interesting effect. It's during these times that, even though the unfocused piece never fully connects its dots or gives any significant insight into the man behind the music (which is oddly largely absent or metaphorically muted), it's actually pretty entertaining while riding on the back of a decent central performance. 6/10
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.
