Unbiased Honest Review

Rating: 5/10 (17 August 2015)

So I just saw Straight outta Compton and I have mixed feelings. On one hand, I did enjoy the movie and felt like there hasn't been a genuine long drama for a while. I think we need to bring more of these back. On the other hand, there were a couple of things wrong I thought. So I'm going to go ahead with a pros and cons.
Pros: The story was told wonderfully. Again, we as a society have been so numb to dramas because we are so used to seeing non stop action, explosions, and comedies. I for one appreciate a good drama. I enjoyed the story for the most part I thought the acting was great. Ice Cube's son was perfect at representing his father. To be honest, I hate rap music, but did enjoy everything they performed I did like how the friends who split up and fought ended up making amends.
Now the Cons Despite enjoying the story, I thought the movie could have been about 20 minutes shorter I will say this without getting political. I want to say first that the cops portrayed in this movie were terrible. They were absolutely awful and should be stripped of their badges. With that being sad, they do not represent every cop. So to write a song called F*ck the Police and demoralize every cop is ignorant and immature. Lets see what happens when we take every cop off the street and see where our society goes with no law. Thats all I'm gonna say on that It's bothersome also that these "role models" live such disgusting lives. They cheat on their wives like it's nothing. A wife should be cherished and loved. And on that note, I feel as though there was unnecessary nudity. It didn't advance the plot and we already know they lived in such debauchery that I felt it unnecessary
These are my thoughts. It was cool to see the background behind Ice Cube and Dr. Dre.
