Summary: Simply Powerful
Review: In the beginning of the film we get to see what kind of person Caine is. He is a man of natural values. He has above average intelligence but his upbringing was so tragic and misguided that he could never live up to his potential. That really is the whole point of this powerful film.
Menace II Society is similar to Boyz N The Hood, particularly when comparing Caine to Tre Styles. But Caine represents a much more average man from the ghetto. He did not get the loving parental support that Tre was fortunate enough to have. When Caine was very little he saw his drug dealer father shoot a man over a miniscule matter, he saw his mother OD, and he saw his mentor go to prison.
These are the burdens in Caine's life he could never escape that followed him through his life. He graduated high school with little intention of what to do, only to hang out and make money selling drugs. Days after highschool he was shot by people stealing his cousin's BMW, he killed the people who killed his cousin, and arrested for car jacking
In every event, we see a glimpse of regret in his eyes, not so much with his crazy and dangerous friend O-Dog, who could care less. Caine describes O-Dog as society's nightmare "Young, black, and doesn't give a f---." O-Dog uses a video tape of him shooting two Korean store clerks at parties and brags about it. O-Dog is clearly a man of no values who is pissed off about the life he's been given.
The point of the film is simply that if Caine was given the loving support that Tre in Boyz N The Hood was given, than he probably would have turned out fine. What a powerful movie.

Summary: What Happened To Tyrin Turner?
Review: The acting was wonderful, but the movie wasn't so stimulating. My mistake to expect another " Boyz In Da Hood " because unfortunately Menace doesn't live up to the hype it produced. Not my number one pick at all and about 10,000 steps behind the king of urban gang films " Boyz In Da Hood ". Tyrin Turner and Larenz Tate did fine jobs. Jada Pinkett was as bland as ever. The supporting casts were better than the top cast any day. They had a lot of familiar faces that popped up. What ever happened to Tyrin Turner? I remembered him from the Rhythm Nation video and since Menace haven't seen him since.

If you like gangsta flicks, this is cool but it doesn't compare to John Singleton's Oscar masterpiece.

Summary: The Best Hood Movie? By Far.
Review: "I'm gonna mess with this O.E." "You drinking that Ides?"
Probably one of the best scenes in Menace II Society, Cain and O-Dawg are buying a beer at the corner store and trobule springs when the Asian clerk makes fun of O-Dawg. Not all hood movies have as good as characters as Menace II Society or plot lines too. You do not really have to follow to much in this movie and it is not conufsing. Menace II Society is a powerful movie, but there is a little bit of comedy in it too. The only question I have and this really bothers me is, Why did someone have to come out and make fun of this classic along with Boys N The Hood and other hood movies ?(Juice, SOuth Central)Whenever I talk to someone about Menace II Society, they always say, "Oh yeah, Don't Be a Menace To South Central?" And I just shake my head, "No! Menace II Society!"

Summary: ANOTHER WELL-DONE HOOD MOVIE
Review: THIS MOVIE IS ABOUT A YOUNG MAN [TYRIN TURNER] WHO LIVES IN THE WATTS SECTION OF CALIFORNIA. DESPITE THE FACT THAT HE KNOWS RIGHT FROM WRONG, HE IS TOO CAUGHT UP IN THE GHETTO LIFE TO GET OUT. DARK, VIOLENT, AND EXTREMELY PROFANE LOOK ON LIFE IN THE GHETTO. VERY STRONG PERFORMANCES FROM EERYONE INVOLVED. THE HUGHES BROTHERS MADE THIS FILM AS A RESPONSE TO ''BOYZ N THE HOOD'', WHICH THEY THOUGHT WAS SOFT AND MORALISTIC. WHILE IT JUST CAN'T COMPARE TO ''BOYZ N THE HOOD'', IT'S A GREAT MOVIE IN ITS OWN WAY. IT REALLY SHOWS THE VIEWER WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES COULD BE FOR TRYING TO LIVE THE THUG'S LIFE. THIS MOVIE FEATURES APPEARANCES BY MC EIHT, YO YO, TOO SHORT, AND POOH-MAN. GET THIS ONE NOW IF YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE IT!

Summary: powerful
Review: After watching Dead Presidents I new The Hughes Brothers had some
talent.So i went and watched the movie that was called their best
and that was Menace to Society.This movie was great all the thing
s that I loved about Dead Presidents were in this movie execpt
a heist,and war scenes.It had great acting,directing,and flawless
screenplay.Tyrin Turner was excellent,Jada Pinkett was good,and
I loved the appearence by Samuel L. Jackson but Larenze Tate
was the shining star.Larenze Tate played a ruthless,foul mouthed
,gangbanger and did a great job.loaded with graphic violence,and
non-stop foul languege and racial slurs not to mention drug abuse
this is just like Dead Presidents and that means it apeals to a
certain taste.But it is a 5 star movie with a great story to tell

Summary: This Movie Iz Crazy
Review: Im am a 14 year old and I want to talk about the Movie Menace II Society.Menace II Society is the tightest Movie I ever saw since "Boyz N The Hood" & "South Central".It all started out as a young boy name Caine (Tyrin Turner) telling a story about surviving the streets for good.My favorite Scence is When Caine & O-Dog(Larenz Tate) was in the liquor store when these two got evloved in a murder by O-Dog kill the korean grocer and also killed the korean lady while O-Dog threatens to get the video tape from her.In The Movie, They mention O-Dog as "The American's Worst Nightmare" and They also mention that O-Dog is Young, Black, And Don't Give A [care]. They also have a cool soundtrack with MC Eith(Streith Up Menace) and all other cool artists.I Recommend this movie to everyone.If U love hood movies and u have not seeen it yet, nows it the time to spend your money and buy this classic.On the internet, they also mention the "Director's Cut"(which is Unrated and the orignal verison is an R-Rated Movie).So if you Moviegooer and u have not seen that movie yet, now's the time to get that movie.One more thing,The Directors Allen & Albert Hugues(From Hell,Dead Presidents) did an good job on this movie.

Summary: Menace....
Review: One of the best black films of out recent history. The best of black youth getting caught up in the street life. Very real images and very real situations Kane faced in this movie. The brother that directed this back then had a great vision for this movie. This and Dead Presidents are very solid movies. Enough Said.
