58 Year Old, White Republican's Review

Rating: 9/10 (6 February 2016)

So, what am I doing reviewing something like Straight Outta Compton? First, I am a lover of everything about movies. I watch all genres and love finding a diamond in the rough. Also, I've been involved in the theater for more years than I want to admit. I look at performances with a keen eye. Finally, I'm a writer. I look for the entertainment value in a piece of work. These things compel me to comment.
The haters of this movie need to get over the facts. This movie is not a documentary. Entertainment writers write to entertain. They are not required to pigeonhole the fact into a boring account of details. They make movies exciting by adding conflict at each and every turn. They write in extremes in order to entertain. Stop tearing down this movie over details and facts. If this is what concerns you, watch documentaries.
I personally loved this movie. I was entertained. I enjoyed all the conflict. I enjoyed the storyline. I enjoyed the acting.
I feel Straight Outta Compton should have been nominated for an Academy Award, not because of racism. It stands on its own two feet as a solid piece of work.
