8 Mile. Actually a good movie?

[medjay]

When I first saw the trailer for this months ago I knew it would be a cold day in hell before I actually paid money to see Emenim acting.

Well, now the verdict is in and the critics are pretty much unanimous: It's terrific! I still can't believe it but I'm actually thinking about going to see it.

Who woulda thunk it?

 

[Cibo]

Aye, very good

Eminem is saturated with drama. I'd be more suprised if it flopped.

I had no doubts that it would be a hit. But a fine piece of cinema as well? Maybe this is one more sign of the apocalypse.

Even if he sucks, I'd watch Kim Basinger.
She's a good actress.

I've wanted to see it since I first heard about it. Unfortunately I didnt make it to the movies today, but I plan to go soon. So far I've only heard excellent reviews.

 

[Cibo]

Yup, it is a good movie...If I were you I'd go early because tickets are selling fast.

I went to the very first showing at my movie theater and it was almost packed...and that rarely happens on the first showing.

8 Mile is pretty much a parody of Eminem's life (or so I heard) It should be a very good movie

 

[Cibo]

He said it's loosely based on him...so only a couple things are true about his life in the movie.

Actually the story of "8 Mile" was created well before Eminem hit it big.. I'm not sure if the details of a rapper from Detroit was in the original plans, but with Em it sounded like a good idea..

i saw it today. it's a good movie. i was impressed.


*edited b/c i see the person above me said basically the same thing so i'll add a little more....the story was good, the acting was good.

 

[babyboo]

I saw this movie at the first showing opening day and I enjoyed it very much. I certainly recommend it to everyone here at Lit.

So I finally got around to seeing this movie and guess what? I liked it! Yeah, yeah, the acting and story were good but that's not really what impressed me. What I liked was the fact that it was the first film in a long time to offer an honest, non-stereotypical portrait of Hip Hop and it's culture. None of the gang-banging, drugs or any other negative stuff generally associated with the genre. Kind of refreshing.

Also, it brought back a lot of memories. I've attended and participated in more M.C. battles than I care to remember and this film got all the details right. Pretty impressive!

hahahhahahahah

I had a choice between 8 Mile and Femme Fatale...saw Femme Fatale instead. It wasn't bad at all, but maybe I should have seen 8 Mile. I was never an Eminem fan, but he's starting to grow on me...

Instead of posting yet another thread about this movie.

I decided to dig up this one.

My Freaky went to see it Friday night with his children, and then him and I took my kids Saturday night.

I liked it. And will definitly be buying it when it comes out on DVD.

Anyone else go to see it this weekend?

 

[Spinaroonie]

Spoiler: He saves Hogwart's

THE realism..a guy from DETROIT
8 mile.
the invisible border....get it

I thought the storyline was a bit cliched. It was a reprise of every underdog overcomes the odds and makes good movie I ever saw. It was like the Rap Rocky.
But having said that, it was actually pretty good. Eminem did a decent job with his role.
I would say it was worth seeing.
