Hip hop Rocky

Rating: 8/10 (2 September 2006)

Eminem is the best rapper alive, if not of all time. This opinion may make people see me as biased towards this film. If it helps, I thought 'The Wash' was garbage.
This movie is well made and gives the rapper a great showcase. This isn't your average 'rapper wants to be a movie-star but can't act' movie. This rapper can act and he is surrounded with a great supporting cast to tell a story based somewhat on his own life.
This movie will appeal to more than just hip hop fans because of it's story, but if you are a hip hop fan, you're in for a real treat. Especially the climactic rap battles which had me on my feet cheering.
I think it will be appreciated better by more mature viewers rather than young teeny-bopping rap fans.
8/10
