Summary: Pretty good ...
Review: You know, ... this movie really WAS like the hip-hop version of Purple Rain. Not that that's a BAD thing per say, I liked Purple Rain; but that does explain that weird feeling of deja-vu I was getting wile watching the movie.As for the movie itself, it was pretty good, I was chuckling at a couple of points though. The movie is so close to being an autobiography that I had a hard time suspending my disbelief and realizing it was fiction. I felt it almost turned into a parody in the moments where it was "glossed-up" (such as the scene in which Em is defending a gay co-worker). I just felt like I just kept waiting for the Slim-Shady persona to make an appearence and put an end to all the political correctness I kept seeing.

Summary: Almost a groundbreaking movie
Review: Im not going to say much, but I will say this. Eminem has proven himself as an actor. Beyond that, he was proven his skill as a lyricist to anyone who is not really an eminem fan. Maybe Im mistaken, but this film trodded in uncharted territory. For years my friends and I had been infatuated with freestyle rapping (...). The movie made a solid story out of something that most of mainstream America doesnt know about. Lastly, this movie is the first film since the original Rockie that made me want to leave the theater and just let loose. The end is triumphant and pure cinematic genious. I could (and have) watched the movies final 15 minutes countless times over and over and over and over...... (...) --This text refers to the DVD edition

Summary: Not Bad
Review: That film will be the one to watch to see how it does at the box office. This film's opening weekend and end numbers can't be taken too seriously since he is the flavor of the moment and his fans are going to rush to the theater to see it the second it comes out. With me?.Ultimate street brawls is better at streetbrawls.com That said, the movie is hardly new or original. We've seen this movie a hundred million times before. There's nothing wrong with that, but some people go overboard and say what a great meaning it had. How fresh it was. There's nothing fresh about it. Eminem's acting isn't totally bad, but it's nothing to make anyone take notice either. The name of the character might be different, but it is obviously him. How hard is it to play yourself?. What acting talent do you need to be you?. He doesn't overly embarrass himself, but he doesn't do much of anything else either. It was a pretty basic role that anyone could do. Oscar nomination?. What a laugh!. The only trophy he'll be seeing for his 'acting' is an MTV Movie Award. The rest of the cast aren't too bad

Summary: Eminem's acting debut is a must see !
Review: This DVD is phenomenal. Eminem's performance as a struggling rapper is both gritty and truly compelling. Despite knowing that the movie is loosely based on Eminem's life doesn't take away from the credibility of Eminem as an actor. He pulls off the leap from rapper to actor with such ease that from the opening scene to the very end you don't see Eminem as himself, the greatest rapper to enter the thralls of popular music since Tupac, but as b-rabbit a struggling rapper trying to make a name for himself. Unlike, Em's critic's I feel that this movie is a must see for anyone not just his fans, but for all fan's of great dvd's. If you miss out on this dvd than in my opinion you are missing out on one of the best dvd's to come out in 03'.

Summary: surprisingly good film
Review: 8 Mile is a good film, despite its formulaic plot. Its well acted, has good dialogue/plot progression. While Eminem's lyrics have been called everything from clever/intelligent, to stupid, sexist/homophobic they are essentially the McGuffin of the film. True they are in the film, but film largely explains why they are the way are. Making 3+ paragraphs of repetitive comments about the stupidity of its target audience as a reviewer of this film has, accomplishes nothing and only makes sense if you read said reviewers 4+ paragraph expose of the finer points/faults of the live action Scooby Doo movie. It would seem said reviewer in trying to show us all his intelligence would pick a film other than Scooby Doo.

Summary: Regardless of the "controversy" this is a great movie
Review: I saw this movie at the theater and was blown away. Emeniem did a wonderful job in this role, and proved he truly could act. As one of the earlier reviewers stated, anyone who likes this film is a stupid illiterate person, so I guess I am one of those people. Yes, this film does contain alot of profanity and explicit sex scenes, but truthfully, if Emeniem wasn't in this film, no one would care. Many are looking for a reason to put down his movie. 8mile is well acted, rapped, and written. 8mile is a far better movie than most I have seen this year. Weather or not you agree with the way Emeniem raps, you should see this movie. It cannot be denied that he is one of the most talented artists of our time, and all though his lyrics can be controversial at times, many of his songs are great. I am a woman, and if you listen closly to his "bad songs" he will say at the end that he is kidding. America is a country of free speech, so why start sensoring now? Anyway, I say give this movie a chance, you may be surprised of how much you like it, and for some of you a chance to glance into another way of life.

Summary: Great Movie!
Review: I only gave it 4 stars because I didn't feel it was long enough and I had a fear thing going on. Those factory scenes really made me nervous. I listen to Eminem and while I obviously don't agree with everything he says, I think he's great. I thought this movie was just another rapper trying to make it on the big screen, but when I watched it...WOW! I think he is as good an actor as he is a rapper. Of course if you don't like Eminem to begin with, your opinion of him won't be changed. I don't expect people to understand or agree with me, but the movie is quite awesome. I, however, won't be letting my kids watch it until they are much older.

Summary: Great Movie
Review: I thought that this movie was really good, Eminem made a great debut as an actor. I hated how people said that the movie wasn't very good before they even watched it, cause after the movie
they were eating their words. So yes this movie had a good plot and some good actors.
