So incredibly dissapointed

Rating: Null/10 (11 November 2002)

Ok...I cannot believe what garbage this film was. Before I go off, let me clear something up. I love Eminem. he is an incredible talent...with music. i was so looking foward to this film...u have no idea. kim bassinger was horrible. plain and simple. im not gonna rag on britney murphy all that much cause she was good for what she had to work with....meaning the script, not her co-stars. the script was so bad. so many holes. i did not buy eminem and britney's relationship at all. just casted bad...not just murphy, but some of his friends were also casted poorly. what was up with that M.C. Bob? it's like...of course they would throw in a freind thats an idiot. why wouldnt they. they want the regular joe to laugh in the theaters. i didnt fall for that gimmick. that scene with M.C. Bob and the gun (u know what one if u saw it)was so bad. it seemed just put in there to wake us back up. i dont want to give exmples cause im not a spoiler. although u really shouldnt see this anyway. no, wait...see it at least for the ending freestyle battle. that was some great rapping. I mean this film did have its moments, dont get me wrong. some of the shots were beautiful. camera work was fantastic.
makael phiefer was awesome. he was the best one in it...eminem comes in a cool second....and its his first film! dissapointed in Curtis Hanson....he was a solid 2 for 2 with L.A. Confidential and Wonderboys.....my god! wonder boys! what a flick! anyways....yeah...i was expecting great things.......its not that my expectations were that high, but c'mon. those who say its the best (i.e. "best inner city film ever", "best rap film ever".......best film ever") then i say this to you. watch more movies. if u liked this film, all you did was buy into the hype. If you liked this film, you know nothing about good film. sorry Em, nothin but love man....but i cant help but feel i wasted the 10 bucks i saved just for this film (im a broke college student) yes movies in NY are 10 bucks.
