The personal critiques are unnecessary...the movie is good!

Rating: Null/10 (20 November 2002)

Okay, I just saw 8-Mile tonight. I've read the comments, and I think that alot of you need to put aside your personal problems with Eminem and review the *movie* not him! I went with a friend as a joke, and wound up loving it. It's harsh, funny, sad, intense, touching and everything that a good film should be. I don't really like rap, nor do I care much for Eminem (although he is hot...sorry), but this was a good movie, end of story. I loved the unsanitized feel and the human touches afforded by the director. My only problem was "What happened to...?" his sister, his mom, his girlfriend, his other friends. Walking off into the ether is interesting, but frustrating. Think what you will of Eminem as an artist; he's a kickass actor who did nothing but give it his all. And his all was great!
