Good movie, though expected more

Rating: 9/10 (12 November 2002)

I thought this movie was good. However, the story moved a little slow. I was expecting the movie to show more of "Jimmy's" life after he "made-it". I was also expecting a lot more rapping and/or battles. POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD!!!! The ending scenes were my absolute favorite part of the movie (when he battles at the club) and there should have been more like it in my opinion. BUT hey, I didn't write the screenplay, nor COULD I HAVE written a better one, so who am I to criticize. All and all I would have to say that I really enjoyed myself. Eminem (as controversial as he may be) is very talented as an actor, and is especially talented as a musical artist. I think many people may swear off this film simply because many of his lyrics can offend so many types of different people. Hey, everyone has a right to their opinion, right? Even if you HATE Eminem, I'd say give this movie a try before you bad-mouth it. This is a totally different medium and deserves to be viewed without bias. 9/10
