Summary: Eminem rocks!
Review: Let's just say yes I am an Eminem fan but he really blew me away in 8 Mile. He has talent as an actor and a musician and he could go a long way in movies if he chooses his roles carefully. I think he did an excellent job and many others agree.

Summary: Great movie!!! Cut Eminem some slack!
Review: When i first saw this movie i thought that it was great, and for people to say that he has no career in acking, that is just bull. This movie (from my point of view) is trying to tell us what it is like to grow up in Detroit, and how hard it is. Some please (if your a decent person WITH a heart) show Eminem so respect for his movie, it was very good, and yes it was better than "Glitter" and "Crossroads" (and people are still giving Mariah, and Britney credit, so do the same with Eminem.

Summary: Really Good, but not Great
Review: 8 Mile is a romanticized biography on Eminem. There may not be an introduction in the movie stating 'based on a true story,' but for anyone remotely familiar with Eminem, the similarities between his life and the movie are obvious. B. Rabbit (Eminem's name in the movie) has a bad life. His home and his family are trash, he's just been dumped by his girlfriend, and he can't get his rap career going. The movie is - of course - about his realization of these things, and what he does to change them. I enjoyed 8 Mile. It's no revolutionary step forward in urban drama, but it's a darn fine movie. With 8 Mile, Eminem has taken another step toward universal acceptance, if not admiration.

Summary: an excellent movie
Review: I saw 8 Mile at the Cinema Grill, so i was able to have a meal while watching the movie. It was what I imagine a drive-in to be like. It was the perfect setting to watch 8 Mile .The premise of 8 Mile is that Eminem plays an aspiring young white rapper nicknamed Bunny Rabbit. B 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. While i know that Eminem is an incredibly talented rapper, and enjoy the radio versions of his singles, I'm not a big fan of the conent of his albums. So why did i want to see this movie? It is directed by Curtis Hanson. Having Hanson at the helm raises the quality level of the film and eases much of my skepticism about how good this movie really could be. After L.A. Confidential and Wonder Boys , i knew i had nothing to fear. I was not disappointed. 8 Mile is not merely good, it is excellent. Eminem may never make another movie, but in 8 Mile he is the real deal. His acting is fantastic and he lends credibility to B Rabbit when he must rap (and rap well). This is his first movie, and he is being asked to carry the picture. He does. The movie is gritty, and from all reports, accurately represents the feel of the 8 Mile area in Detroit. The movie is fairly fast paces and simply put...this is one of the best movies of 2002.

Summary: Great actor, Great film, Great story!!
Review: To start of with I am a big fan of his music. I thought that this movie really showed what his (Eminems) life was like growing up, why he did what he did. He found other ways of dealing with his troubles like rapping, instead of killing. I think that he was a great actor, I mean he had already gone through all of this in his own real life, so all he was doing was showing what it was like on film. The whole movie was great from the battle scenes to the home life. It also had some comedy in it. I hope it wins many grammies. I loved this movie and I would see it a million times. I am going to buy it on DVD when it comes out. I recommend for all fans and nonfans to go out and see it, maybe you will change your mind about him as at least a person.

Summary: the best movie ever
Review: Eminem is one of the rappers i dislike, basicaly i hate rap mostly. But if u are an eminem fan or not, u should see this movie. The whole point of the film is following ur dream, and it will come true one day. But for jimmy rabbit who lives in detroit and in a trailer park with his mom and little sister. Everyone thinks hes a low life who lives on the streets. And when he gets booed of stage, and chokes in the beggening at the first battle, everybody sees him as a loser and scared. But at the end people realize that he can freestyle better than anybody livin in 313, which is where he lived, and at the end he walks away like hero, and after that everyone loved him. So rent this movie, you will find it interesting.

Summary: I'm not a fan of his music....but the movie?
Review: I highly enjoyed it. Okay, so it's somewhat formulaic in the sense of that person who overcomes ajbect poverty to succeed when most didn't believe in them. Family troubles, job troubles, gang troubles...how does one ever get somewhere in life when all you have around you is bad luck and bad times. But don't we as movie goers enjoy seeing that? The personal accomplishment in being able to overcome what's in your way and get somewhere in life? That's why I enjoyed 8 Mile. I thought the lyrics in the battle scenes were excellent, the gritty look and feel of Detroit was well portrayed (some excellent wide shots in parts), the comaraderie between Em and his friends and watching what kind of trouble they get in on a Friday night...all enjoyable moments. I do wish the relationship bewteen Em and Murphy's character was a bit more developed...it just didn't seem to real....but hey, it's a small gripe considering her role in this film isn't that large. Playing yourself most of the time is a pretty easy thing to do and Em performs very well. You certainly don't need to be a fan of rap music to enjoy this movie (I personally can't stand it).

Summary: ...
Review: Not much to say about this movie. It has no plot. I thought this would be good since Eminem starred in it. Instead, I found myself staring at my watch and almost falling asleep in my theater seat. When it was finally over, I asked myself, "Is that all?" ...s. It was so good it could win some awards. I had some justified trepidation about my almost 13 year old seeing, but wild horses couldn't have kept him from going. Of course, I couldn't be seen going in with him. He had to do it with his friends. So I went in alone and sat between other parents. One was sitting with her two boys, ready to tell them when to shut their eyes during the "too sexy" scene. When that scene arrived, it was not graphic, showing naked erotic zones. But it was clearly quick, shallow sex. I winced that my kid was watching it as I watched this mother sitting next to me trying to get her twelve year olds to cover their eyes. She didn't succeed. They half heartedly covered half of one eye. I couldn't resist saying to her, "You can feel your grasp on them slipping away." And I looked around the theater- the biggest of the megatheater's 24 rooms and saw a totally packed house, filled with kids mostly under 16. This is a story about a kid who starts our so afraid to sing in public, in a free style "battle" he pukes all over himself before going on stage. He's broken up with his pregnant girlfriend, given her his car and has to, oh so embarrassingly, go back to the trashy trailer where his alcoholic, ... mother lives. 'Tis not a sweet smelling rose we watch here, but more like a coral reef, filled with beauty and sharp edges. Eminem does a superb job playing the lost kid who finds himself and his integrity. The music is rap throughout and this child of the sixties, who used to diss all rap, has learned to like the sound. I'm a liberal, who, when I heard about Eminem, and his attitude towards gays and women, thought little of him. He makes that up in this movie.... to an extent. It's worth seeing this. The third act shows Eminem facing his truth-- something the democrats could learn from, after last weeks political annihilation. Now, after seeing 8 Mile, I'm ready to go to a real battle of rappers. I still felt uncomfortable about my almost 13 year old seeing this. There was a lot of violence, profanity and three sex scenes that suggest the act. One with Kim Bassinger (probably a body double) and two with Brittany Murphy. Considering the setting for the story, the language was consistent. The sex was.... appropriate for an R rated film. The problem is, with the protagonist being a star whose fans are mostly under 16, they should have and could have cleaned up the script a bit, without hurting the story. At 57, director Curtis Hanson (also directed LA Confidential and Wonder Boys) is old enough to be grandfather of the kids in the audience. Overall all, though he's done a brilliant job on the story.
