Not as good as I expected

Rating: Null/10 (22 November 2002)

I am a HUGE Eminem fan...and this movie wasn't nearly what I expected. First of all, the plot was stupid. Eminem's character spends 151 minutes trying to succeed in the rap world. Come On! People say that this is an inspiring film? For whom, wanna-be rappers?
And the relationship he develops with Brittany Murphy's character is unrealistic as well. She said in the movie that she has a good feeling about him. And she had only met him two scenes before she said that. How could someone believe in someone that fast? It just didn't make sense. Do not get me wrong, Eminem and Brittany are really good actors, but the dumb plot and high amount of swearing & violence cannot carry this film. In my opinion, maybe this film would have been better with a more realistic plot, less violence and less swearing (Especially with out any usage of the 'N' word.) Other Eminem fans may enjoy this film, but I didn't think his movie debut was anything to rap about!
