Summary: Entertaining, not enthralling...
Review: I have to admit; I was disapointed.The movie *was* entertaining. It *did* show what it set out to show. It gave all of the Eminem fans a guiding light as to how he got to be where he is now. How much of it was actually based on his life? Who knows, who cares... Well, if it was a good flick, why then am I disapointed. 8 Mile did nothing spectacular. Eminem, from what I seen, played Eminem. Does it take any acting skills to play yourself? Nope. Am I saying that Em can't act? No way, but this movie certainly has no grounds for me to say whether he can or can't. Also, Mekhi Phifer was extremely disapointing in this movie. He just seemed to be there, which isn't what I would expect from someone who has proved he can play a totally awesome role (see "O"). I went into this movie hoping something in it would justify paying the theatre admission costs. It didn't. I left feeling robbed, as there was nothing spectacular about this film. Entertaining, yes, but not moving. When you see as many films as I do, you expect a picture to move you, in some way or another. Else it is just another movie... as this was, for me. So.. aenh. Will I buy this on DVD? No. Would I recommend you see it? Yup. In theatres? Nah, save yourself a couple bucks and rent it when it comes out on DVD. ******* (7/10 stars)

Summary: Eminem in 8 mile
Review: WOW! That's my opinion about 8 Mile. I will admit, in the beginning I was a little skeptical about seeing 8 Mile..considering Eminem is a rap superstar. But I let my cousin drag me to the theatre to see the movie. To my surprise, 8 Mile is now my favorite movie. It captured me in the very first scene. Not only can Em rap like none other, but his portrayal of
"B. Rabbit" in 8 Mile will leave a lasting impression on everyone who sees it.

Summary: Surprisingly GOOD!
Review: Now, I am a fan of Eminem's music, but I really wasn't expecting much from this movie, boy was I wrong. Eminem's surprising acting abilities coupled with a great supporting cast, including his mom played by Kim Basinger made the movie a success! I highly recommend this movie, though I would definitely adhere to the rated R review. The language is exactly what you'd expect with some surprises thrown in. There is no nudity, unless you count Eminem's butt! Enjoy the show!

Summary: the best out of all the movies i've seen
Review: aiight this movie is the best that i've seen out of all the movies i've seen this year. the movie is about rabbit(eminem) and his friends trying to get into freestyling but he ends up choking on stage ad gets booed off. and then he keeps making new freestyles throughout the whole movie and at the end he ends up succeeding and he got the freestyles and he ended up being the champion of freestyles for rapping the best. and at the end he starts walking off the lose yourself starts and then movie ends. but in the middle of it one of eminem friends ends up having a gun and then he puts it back in his pants without even knowing the gun was loaded and he shot his dong. it was the best movie ever i recommend u go see it all of u cuz if u don't u'll be said u missed out. its worth seeing again.

Summary: He got a message, dawg
Review: Three years ago, an artist who needs no introduction combined his love of scatology with my favorite type of music, rap. The result? Let's just say that for the next two weeks, I temporarily forgot that I was past the age where I could laugh at jokes involving private parts and not get concerned stares. (And let's face it, what's underneath our clothes is funny.) Thankfully, "8 Mile" is just like an Eminem album -- effortlessly articulate, witty, and remarkably sophisticated. In short, a masterpiece. So what's it about? Well, Eminem plays a downtrodden Detroit machinist with an artistic side -- he raps. He thinks if he can turn his daily conversation into an album with a sluggish bass that people will buy it and pretend like he's a genius. So he goes around rapping, builds a local following and gets a record contract. Oh, and he also lives in a trailer park with his mother, who's dating one of Eminem's old schoolmates. But it's all good! And there's almost two hours of this thing. After it was over, I felt like I'd been tied to the back of a speeding pickup and drug face-first for "8 Mile." I have to end this review now, because I'm going to go see the movie again -- for the fourth time! I've never seen anyone who behaves or sounds like Eminem, especially the guys I stood behind in the ticket-line. Go see this movie. It will inspire you.

Summary: Who knew Eminem could act as well as he raps!!!
Review: I've always enjoyed listening to Eminem's music, but I never believed that I would enjoy watching Eminem follow other rappers footsteps and try his thing on the big screen. However, I was intrigued by the trailers for 8 Mile. Yes, the movie's plot is highly familiar: A kid, down on his luck, tries his best to make a life for himself. He uses his talent for rap to try and make it out of the trailer park home that he lives in with his deadbeat mom and her drunk boyfriend. Along the way, he is met by many obstacles, but he persists and makes it. We've all seen these movies before. What grabbed me in the trailers was the fact that you could see Eminem's acting ability just in those couple of scenes chosen to wow the audience. I vowed to see this movie when it hit the theaters, and two days after its release, that's exactly what I did!
And I was definitely not disappointed! Marshall Matthers (Eminem) plays Jimmy Smith, Jr., known to his friends as Rabbit, and known to the local rappers as B-Rabbit. All Jimmy wants to do is make it big doing what he loves most - rapping. Even on his way to work at a Detroit factory, he works on lyrics for his songs, praying that one day he'll create that killer demo tape that will launch him into stardom and out of his mom's trailer park home. Eminem plays this role with such intensity, you almost forget that this is a rap star and not a seasoned actor. Mekhi Phifer convincingly portrays Future, a friend of Jimmy's who also is the MC of the local rap battles. He believes in B-Rabbit even though his last turn on the stage was tragically disappointing. Kim Bassinger is great as Jimmy's screwed up mother and Brittany Murphy shines once again as Jimmy's girlfriend.
The storyline may be old, but it is so skillfuly done, that by the end of the movie, you find yourself rooting for B-Rabbit. Not only did I enjoy watching the down-and-out-punk-makes-good story, but the soundtrack is awesome. And the rap battles! They didn't look rehearsed at all - looked totally improvisational! Meaning: they were "slamming"!
My advice: see this movie - you won't be disappointed!

Summary: Although I have been a fan.....
Review: I have been a love struck fan of Eminem since '97 when i was 13, So i might be bias, but I will never forget this movie for the rest of my life. Whether you love him or you hate him, you won't be able to take your eyes off him on the big screen. Is there anything he can't do? With its hardcore message about stick with your dreams no matter how poor, lost, or miserable life is, you can hit it big if you stick with it. Co staring in Brittany Murphy from movies such as Clueless and Don't Say a word and Mekhi Phifer. Its amazing, a truly must see.

Summary: BEST MOVIE I'VE SEEN THIS YEAR.....
Review: ....First of all, let me begin by saying that I am one of the biggest movie buffs in the USA and I am a real critic and I keeps it real and tell it like it is. This movie, 8 Mile, was da bomb...this movie was the best movie I've seen this year, in the movies that is! Eminem proved not only can he rap but can act too. They said when he first came in to the rehearsals, he was horrible...terrible...couldn't act if his life depended on it but after some people worked with him, other fellow actors and director, he made his first BIG SCREEN debut performance, very impressive. I don't think he quite beats Tupac at this, you know, rapping and acting thing but he comes in second place to Ice Cube as of right now. Ice Cube is still the better rapper/actor out there but Eminem is coming up. The reason why I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because the movie ended...I didn't ever wanted this movie to end. When I was sitting in the movie theatre, nobody moved. You know how sometimes people get up and walk around, go the bathroom, get something to eat (things they should have done before coming in there anyway), they all stayed in their seats until the credits started to roll. Not one person was dissappointed after this movie went off. Everybody was laughing and cheering and clapping throughout the whole movie and that's a good sign. I was really enjoying the battles with Eminem against the opposing team. The last battle Eminem did blew me outta my F'N seat...it was spectacular. It was a wonderful movie and I recommend you go and see this movie or wait until it comes out on video and buy it, you will NOT be dissappointed. Forget all the negative remarks and reviews this movie is getting...Take it from a real critic...this movie is worth seeing....TRUST ME!!

Summary: Wow
Review: I don't know how to put into words the excitment i felt after seeing this film. If you have read about Eminem aka. Slim Shady aka. Marshall Mathers, then you would see how wonderfully well this depicts the vision you might see while reading his auotbiography. He is a great inspiration. What most people have to do is look past what you think he depicts, and read between the lines.And as far as his 15minutes dieing out 2 years ago. Don't think so...This man has a lot going for him..His a real person who is not trying to be someone he isn't. And I give him all the credit in the world...And what a great actor!!..See the movie, you'll enjoy it till the end, and go home inspired..
