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...... (...)

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: Eminem - Enjoyable by anyone with an open mind
Review: I am here to debunk the myth that Eminem's music, and now his movie, are works solely targeted to- and appreciated by- people who are uneducated, misogynistic, "too young" to know any better, or otherwise have something "wrong" with them. This college graduate personally found this movie to be compelling, realistic, and unexpectedly humorous. The stunningly grim backdrop of urban blight within Detroit sets the mood for a story of a young man with very little going for him besides his talent as a rapper. Battling the demons of poverty, violence, a dysfunctional family, and above all a lack of self-confidence about going on stage, Eminem's character (Jimmy Smith Jr.) refuses to give up. Determined to find a better life someday, he draws upon inspiration from friends, his love for his baby sister, and a beautiful stranger (played by Brittany Murphy). Jimmy finds not only the confidence he needs, but also a sense of responsibility and the realization that to make it, one has to do it themselves. But the victory is bittersweet, because even though he climbs to the top of the local hip-hop scene, he still has much farther to go. Eminem demonstrates not only that he is a far better actor than most of the modern musicians-turned-actors out there; he has a quick wit and a mind for humor and wordplay. Much like several of his songs, this movie contains many moments of verbal jousting, and quick rhymes and humor that will leave you laughing as well as thinking. The controversy surrounding this movie has very little to do with the film's merits itself, and very much to do with Eminem's negative public image and the sometimes violent lyrics on his albums. With another actor in the lead, there would undoubtedly be far fewer negative reviews, as many of them seem to draw their substance not from the movie itself but from skeptics taking an opportunity to insult Eminem, his reputation, and his fans. Clearly, the main appeal of the movie and the story it tells is to people who already have an appreciation for rap and hip-hop. But anyone who goes in with an open mind will enjoy this gritty film about a young man struggling to get ahead, and life in an often-misunderstood world.
