Summary: top draw movie.
Review: I am not a big fan of eminem,I don't even own one of his albums! I went to see this film coz my mates told me it was a sweet movie!
I went with no real expectations of anything special at all,I even doubted his actin ability! But once I had seen this movie, I realised what my mates were chaffin on about! It was so good! Yes he really can act, and not only that he can act extremly well! A very strong performance and an excellnt script. The rapping battles were excellent! The stuff they come out with(especially eminem) is hilarious, and also extremly clever!
i don't really want to say anything more about the movie except that you must see it. As long as the swearing doesn't bother you(if it does then T.S. coz thats the way people like that talk!)

Summary: Eminem delivers an outstanding performance...
Review: This is a movie that anyone can appreciate. Even if you are not a rap fan or a fan of Eminem's, it won't matter. I took my sister to see this movie and she is not a rap fan or a fan of Eminem's and she loved the movie and said it was so different than what she expected it to be. This movie will inspire you and will touch your heart. Eminem gives such an outstanding, touching, and vulnerable performance that you can't take your eyes off him. I also thought it was good that the movie addressed certain issues, like explaining the reason why Jimmy and his friends set that abandoned house on fire. When things like that happen in real life, all we see on the news is that a bunch of kids set a house on fire, or did this and that. If you haven't seen the movie yet, make sure you rent or buy the DVD/Video. You will not be disappointed. It will make you laugh and it will make you cry. I can't say enough good things about it. I'll admit that Eminem was the reason I went to see the movie, but what's so wrong with that? We all enjoy seeing our favourites on the big screen! This is no different.

Summary: Best of the musician vanity films
Review: These kind of movies have a formula, and "8 Mile" follows it religiously. Hose off the Detroit grit and the cliches are all there: the struggling talent; the quicksand of home life; the 'friend' with connections offering a fast track to success; the relationship subplot; and, of course, the climactic musical number that secures both moral and professional glory. So don't be surprised if you feel like you've seen this one before. But you will be surprised to find that Eminem can act. I mean really. There isn't a single moment when you see through him, which is more than can be said for plenty of A-list Hollywood stars. I was stunned. Less impressive are the tortuously correct scenes where the one-time bad boy rewrites his own history by drawing a distinction between being gay and being 'a faggot'. Yet despite such lapses, Scott Silver's screenplay forges a careful path between the irritating extremes of rap/hip-hop culture - its pseudo-intellectual ramblings on race politics, and the black fetishising of white wealth - to tell a story which is actually pro-family, pro-work and pro-individual effort. It's almost Protestant. But it still doesn't resolve rap culture's inherent contradictions. To wit: if living in 'the 313' - perfectly captured by director Hanson in all its horrific squalor - is so great, so 'real', then why is everyone, including our hero, so desperate to get out? And the villain's main crimes are to have a banal real name (Clarence), and to have gone to a private school. But where do you think little Lily will be headed the moment big bro' B Rabbit (with the no less banal real name of 'Jimmy Smith') makes his first million? Don't try to resolve it, because you won't. Just listen to the lyrics. Eminem's closing track, 'Lose Yourself', makes the argument in 5 minutes better than Silver's screenplay does in 110: it's all about seizing opportunities, about having enough faith to take a chance on yourself. As a story about that kind of moment, "8 Mile" works better than most in the genre.

Summary: Eminem can act too!!
Review: I was so impress by Eminem acting job in the movie that I saw it 3 times the opening week. It is a great movie, based on Eminem's life and the story is well written. I was a little dissapointed by the endding, but overall the movie is great.
The "rap battle" parts are very good but a little explicit.
I hope that the DVD have a few extra features.

Summary: Good Job Eminem!
Review: Eminem did a very good job. He really does have talent and he's one of the few musicians who proved themselves as good actors, joining Mandy Moore, Shane West and of course Jennifer Lopez. This movie's great and absorbing unlike Britney's Crossroads.

Summary: An Excellent Film.
Review: When an Ambitious song-writer/rapper named Rabbit (Eninem) tries to make it on his own without the support of his hard-working poor dead beat mother (Oscar-Winner:Kim Basinger). Hanging out with his friends-Future (Mekhi Phifer), the generous, high-spiritred rap-contest organzier and Mc. The dreamer Sol (Onar Benson Miller). The Scolding Activist (De'Angelo Wilson). The gun-toting doofus Cheddar Bob (Evan Jones). His friends do give him the courage, he needs. Everything changes when Rabbit meets a couragerous woman (Brittany Murphy) and when Rabbit finally takes a stand with his hidden talent. Directed by Curtis Hanson (The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, The River Wild, L.A. Confidential) and Extremely well written by Scott Silver (Who wrote the awful-The Mod Squad) makes this film a Real One of a Kind. This is a excellent incendiary Hip-Hop fable. This film is somewhat loosely based on the life of Eninem-a.k.a. Marshall Matters. Eninem and Phifer are the stand-outs in this film. Basinger & Murphy gives also fine performances. This flick also has a great Hip-Hop/Rap Soundtrack. DVD has an sharp anamorphic Widescreen (2.35:1) transfer and an strong-Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound (Also in DTS). DVD has Behind the Scenes footage, Never Seen Before Footage, Music Video and more. This was an instant Box Office Hit. It's also One of the Highest Grossing films of 2002. Do not miss this strong film. This Recieve an Oscar for Best Original Song. Super 35. Grade:A.

Summary: Eminem Displays Talent in New Film
Review: Eminem, probably the most controversial rapper today, who is best known for his highly disturbing lyrics, stars in the first motion picture of his career, 8-mile. Eminem plays Jimmy Smith Jr., a young white rapper trying to make it big in a black dominated area in Detroit near 8-mile road, the barrier that seems to keep him from accomplishing his goals. He struggles trying to deal with home life in a trailer park with a near psychotic mother, as well as earning respect as a white rapper. He attempts to gain recognition for his talent by competing in battles between rappers of the street, he being the only one who's white. The movie seems all too familiar, being somewhat based on Eminem's real life. Kim Basinger plays his mother, Brittany Murphy his "sort of" girlfriend, and Mekkhi Phiffer stars as Future, the DJ of the battles. As all movies do, this one too has its high and low points, but overall 8-mile is a fairly good film, taking critics and moviegoers all over the country by surprise. Eminem proves he actually has acting ability and shows he doesn't qualify to be put into the "singer trying to act" category. He shows depth and emotion in his role with a performance that goes far beyond his otherwise annoying self. Kim Basinger also nails the role of the mother, giving a truly great performance in the film. The film is mostly dramatic but also contains comedy with a few strong, humorous lines delivered throughout. Some downsides are the excessive amount of vulgarity, seeming like every other word out of every characters mouth is a swear word, as well as some pointless scenes in the film that should have been left on the cutting room floor. If vulgarity is hard on your ears, stay as far away from this film as you can. However, an unexpected but highly energetic ending seems to make the whole movie worthwhile. The film goes beyond most people's expectations of what they believe it would be, showing talent as well as a solid plot. The movie is a must see for Eminem fans and anyone who enjoys rap music or entertaining, high intensity films.

Summary: theeee movie!!!
Review: I think that Eminem did excellent job this duty on the film is sewn on him.The premise of 8 Mile is that Eminem plays an aspiring young white rapper nicknamed Bunny Rabbit. Bunny Rabbit just broke up with his girlfriend and moves back into his mother's trailer. He is known to be the most talented rapper from his circle of friends, but froze onstage at a rap battle at the movie's opening. The movie supposedly mirrors much of what happened in Eminem's real life.summarily- I think that Eminem desorve a lot!!!!
