not as expected

Rating: Null/10 (29 June 2005)

I liked this film but i think it felt like it was on for too long because some bits seemed to drag. To be honest i didn't really know about ray Charles's life before i watched it and although he didn't have a nice childhood really, with becoming blind, losing some one close and being sent away, he didn't end up really being a nice person with the drug abuse and cheating on his wife and i don't think he really deserves all the attention although a very good musician.He went from rags to riches which is something to be proud of but there's a lot of other things in his life he cant be proud of. It was at times a moving story and Jamie foxx did an alright job as playing ray i think he is better off as a comedian. I like watching films based on real lives and true events and i didn't find it interesting, but it was not as good as i expected at all.
