Summary: The Real Story
Review: I've been collection all Tupac's doucmentery movies and books to know the exactly story of Tupac's life but I didn't got it, Cause all of the other movies were people talking about how he was killed or fans yelling and crying why he died so fast, but in "Tupac Resurrection" it's the real story of Tupac Amaru Shakur since he broned till he died with his own voice and real scenes about his life like when he got shot, high school interviews & some lawsuits.
In the end if you like Tupac you must watch this movie!

Summary: Best Tupac Documentary.
Review: No question, this is the best Tupac documentary out there. There are alot out, such as Thug Immortal, Thug Angel, 2Pac 4Ever, etc. but this definitely beats all those. Produced by his mother and other people who were close to him, this documentary informs you about his life before stardom, during it, and everything in between; and the best part is, Tupac, himself, is narrating tha whole thing!! There's also a alot of bonus footage of Tupac, and several interviews with people who were close to him like, Jada Pinkett, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Treach of Naughty By Nature, etc. Although, Suge Knight does not give an interview for tha film, there is some footage of him speaking about Pac. This is a must have film for any fan of Tupac... you have to have it, your collection is simply incomplete without it. I strongly reccommend this DVD to everyone, even if you're not really a fan, it's still really interesting. Get it!!

Summary: An incredible story told by an incredible person
Review: This is an incredible movie that is the most accurate documentary on Tupac's life that was ever made. This is because Tupac himself narrates the entire thing. You actually feel like you are witnessing his life as you watch it through tons of interviews and video clips all put together to tell the incredible story of one of the most influential people in American history. He was a true genious, and you realize as you watch the movie that he was just ahead of his time. He had so many good ideas. His music will live forever as will his story.

Summary: To Many Critics, To many Opinions.. Not enough understanding
Review: This movie was flawless. There wasn't a single mistake nor error. I know that is a disappointment to maintstream Hollywood, but it's true! Yes there is finally a great movie about the most Controversial rap artist of our time. There is finally a movie that shows how wrong, biased, and down right evil the media was towards Pac during his life time. They tried to reduce him to nothing but a low-life, trouble making, hood star with tattoos. Just because they were threatened by the truth in his lyrics, and the realness of his actions. Let's keep it real, Tupac represented a whole mass of youths in urban ghettos all across the country, if mainstream media accepted Pac, then they would have to accpet all of us, gangstas and thugs included! and you know they are not having that! With that being said, it's not suprising to hear some of the negative reviews previously stated. Some people would love to keep Tupac Shakur in that negative depiction of a thug life screaming maniac with out hearing his side of the story. Well this movie dismisses all of that. We hear the story coming straigt out of his mouth. We heard why he did certain things, how he felt about it, and his opinions of his own actions. If you watched the movie you saw that he was caring, intellegent, beautiful, charismatic, charming, misunderstood and incredibly talented. Don't get me wrong.. He had his faults as well.. But he didn't have faults because he was Tupac, he had faults because he was HUMAN, not only that but he was only 25! Let Pac rest in Peace! He was already his biggest critic. If you're going to tell a story about him then tell all sides. If your going to scream about him being a thug, then also scream about him being politically conscious. If your going talk about him being in trouble with the law, then keep it real with yourself and others and talk about how almost everyone with the last name SHAKUR is either dead or in jail from their political practices. This movie shows all of that.. The good and the grimy, the real and the romantic. It is a most have for any fan of hip-hop, urban politics, and future film makers.... until next time
PEACE

Summary: Tupac R.I.P
Review: this movie/documentory is one of the best i have ever watched. people who have learnt about tupac or have heard bad things about him, this movie will clear your mind and show you the real tupac shakur.
this movie was mostly recorded before tupac passed away. you can see the struggle that he had to go through as a young black man comin frm the ghetto. for all you people that think tupac was a very bad man, just remember he was a loving father.
he did live by the Thug Life rules and he was an Outlaw, but this and his music were his way of telling the world how he felt, and his thought reflected on what he did.

Summary: Documentary about a murderer
Review: Tupac killed my cousin Nigel, for that I can never forgive him.
This documentary only tells good lies about Tupac making him look great when you should really see the truth about how he murdered and beat up people he dealt crack to. This is the worst movie of all time, and it will not compel the African-American race to believe in awful people like Tupac.

Summary: Review of TUPAC RESURRECTION
Review: While I am a very big fan of Tupac Shakur, I will present this review based on the movie itself and not "what an AWESOME rapper" I think he is or print my own half-baked theories on how he is really alive. I have noticed that pretty much every review has offered very little detail on the film. With the countless amount of DVD's and other product floating around, is there really a need for another movie based on the life of Tupac Shakur? Well, this movie does offer something that none of the others have before and that is narration by Shakur himself. Courtesy of old audio interviews and soundbytes, Tupac tells the story of his life in a way that few others could. From his birth as the son of a Black Panther to his final days in Vegas, Pac goes into detail on it all. Though commentary on his fatal shooting is clearly actually that of his first shooting at a New York recording studio, there are still some very eerie moments here. He talks about his days on Death Row Records in the past tense even though he was there until the day he died, he predicts his own downfall many times, and speaks candidly on a number of subjects that will really surprise you. The inclusion of Shakur's music is another thing that helps seperate this from a lot of the other documentaries on his life. To be able to hear the man himself speak on some of his best and most controversial recordings while they play in the background makes a huge difference. "Resurrection" really plays like a companion piece to one of Pac's albums. It provides all of the visuals to go with the stories that Pac tells in his complex rhymes. It isn't just a story about rap music though. We're not spending exhausting moments of time in the studio or on concert. This isn't about Tupac the rapper. This movie much like the artist it depicts is bigger than just its contributions to the world of rap music. The film spends most of its time examining the man himself. Going into depth about the controversy surrounding him. It gives him the microphone and allows him to fire back at the hypocritical politicians and Black leaders who try to dismiss his music as "gangsta rap" without even attempting to listen to the message behind it. It allows him to speak in great detail about the real horrors of the ghetto. He talks about his experience in prison and how it nearly destroyed him inside. He give us his side of the story on his sexual assault conviction, his NY studio shooting, and the beef with Notorious B.I.G. and Puffy. At times, "Resurrection" makes the mistake of pointing us away from things that don't show Shakur in the best of light. Well, it isn't exactly a "fluff piece" but there were some details that seem conviently absent. There is a moment where Pac talks proudly about being happy to work with Dr. Dre on Death Row but the movie never makes any mention of their falling out after Dre's departure from Death Row. Pac's feud with Biggie is the only one that actually gets covered while there were several others that at least deserved an honorable mention. For those Pac fans who are still pondering whether this film is worth the price of admission given that you probably have seen or heard every interview and own every DVD, it is. Granted there were a handful of times where I recognized the source of the audio in his narration, it didn't ruin the film at all for me. Seeing this one movie makes all of those other Pac documentaries seem like a waste of money. Pac's story finally gets the respect and attention that it deserves. "Resurrection" is a very unique film that really educates the average fan on the history of its subject. This film would honestly be best suited for those who no little to nothing on Shakur but continue to dismiss him as some "loud-mouthed thug". Sadly, it is that very ignorance that will keep them from ever even giving the movie a chance. With this film, I think Afeni Shakur has done something that I feel she was never able to accomplish in releasing all those posthomous recordings and that is to paint a portrait of Pac that really fits him well. I don't like taking quotes from other reviews, I think Roger Ebert summed it up pretty well when he said "Even if you don't intend to ever see a rap documentary but might have in it you to see one. This is it." This film might not convert you into a Tupac Shakur loyalist but if nothing else, it will give you a better understanding of who he was and why so many young people of all races view him as such an important figure.
