Summary: 8Mile Review - I loved it!
Review: The first theatre we went to see 8Mile at, we got there at 8pm and the 9:40 show was already sold out! We went to the other side of town and got tickets and it was worth the trip! I think eminem was a natural in this movie and it doesn't even seem like he's acting. I think i could have done without the 5 minute sex scene in the factory but other than that i liked it alot. It was a well written movie and it makes u really feel for the main charactr, Jimmy. The ending kind of left u wondering, but u kind of figure out what happens. So overall i think it was a great movie and even if you're not a fan of his u would enjoy it.

Summary: Feels good...
Review: I saw the film yesterday, alone. Being a 50-year old woman, it was hard for me to find a friend willing to go see 8 Mile. I think Eminem is an incrediblly gifted wordsmith. While not liking every single thing he does, I think much of what he writes is brilliant and misunderstood by judgmental naysayers.The movie is great and Eminem brings to the screen the intensity and humor he brings to his writing. His is a flawed character - what human being isn't? - in a working-class world with working-class values and a drive to better himself. The battle scenes are great and he truly shines there at the end. I find that many people who dislike or judge his work have never heard it - they've only heard other people judge it. The movie is getting great mainstream buzz and I wouldn't be surprised if, after seeing the film, it brings Eminem new listeners willing to have a more open mind. He deserves the respect of being heard and seen before being judged. There's a great talent here, and the film was a pleasure to watch.

Summary: Impressive, Entertaining
Review: Eminem had a lot to live up to in his first movie 8 mile. Some were comparing it to other celebrity flops (Mariah's Glitter, and Britney's Crossroads) But the only similarities are the striking resemblences to the celebrity's own lives, (tho all claim that they are not their stories) That's were the simlitarities stop. 8 Mile is well acted, entertaining, humerous, and sad at the same time. All actors and actresses do excellent jobs in the movie. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars, is because despite all the raves about Em's acting ability, being an aspiring stage actress myself, I can tell you that it doesn't take much to play a character that basically is yourself. As soon as I see Em' playing a mentally ill or rich snob, I'll be screaming praises too. Anyway, he does do a fabulous job acting as himself, and the movie is definitly worth your 4-9 bucks.

Summary: The Longest, Most Boring Rap Video Ever!
Review: If Amazon.com had the option of give NO stars I would definitely use it. I went to see 8 Mile at a local movie theater and was praying for it to end. It was so boring, and the plot was horrible. Don't people find it offensive at all. They used horrible words toward gays, fowl language, and I just can't sit comfortably watching a movie that is based on MAKING FUN OF PEOPLE! Yes, Eminem can act, but I only thought his abilities came in when he had to be mad, and trust me the world has already seen the mad side of Eminem. Also, I couldn't understand the sense of humor in the movie. ... It was long, bloated, and boring. If you love rap, and understand the cruel humor, then this is a movie for you.

Summary: WOW!
Review: This is the first time I've ever seen a movie on opening night, and it was well worth the wait and trouble. I'm extrememly lucky to get tickets, practically all the theaters in the entire area have been sold out! Jimmy Smith, Jr., a.k.a. Bunny Rabbit (Eminem) lives in inner city Detroit, with his alcoholic, yet highly interesting mother, played by Kim Basinger; and his younger sister, Lily, who is absolutely adorable, and Rabbit's only obvious weakness. He dreams of making it big, along with his group, 313, including Future (Mekhi Pfipher) and his buddies, including the hilarious, [silly] Cheddar Bob, and the politically active Iz. Jimmy works in a stamping factory, where he meets Alex (Brittany Murphy), an ambitious woman with dreams of modeling, whose only real wish is simply to leave Detroit and escape to New York City. "All I need is a plane ticket." Future resides over rap battles at the shelter, and, having faith in Rabbit's skills, invites him to rap. After we open with Rabbit choking on his lines, he is invited once more. Soon, we are faced with a dilemma, because Rabbit must choose between making it on his own through his talent at the battles, or his friend Wink's supposed connections at a record company, who promises to give Rabbit fame if he meets with a record producer. Eminem is an impressive actor, though he isn't exactly stretching to meet his role. However, compared to the "Glitter trauma" that affects so many singers who aspire for the big screen, it's an affecting debut. "8 Mile" is rated R, based mainly on the language, of which the affect wears off after the first 15 minutes, but also for some graphic sexuality, including Jimmy walking in on his mom, and making love with his girlfriend in the factory. This was an impressive movie and I was glad to have seen it, I would reccommend it to anyone over the age of 15.

Summary: People are reviewing this fil who have seen it
Review: For all your idiots out there who gave this movie 1 start and have not even seen it what kind of review is that. Americas top critcs have gave it a sold B overall. Rober Ebert,Rollingstone,Time,and New York Post have given it a solid review. As far as Eminem not being able to act you people could not be more wrong. He steals the show with his acting and on stage battles. The cast, film and especially Eminem's on stage battles are excellent. So please dont review this if you have not even seen it.

Summary: I have a whole new respect for Eminem--see this movie!!
Review: This movie helps us to grasp just how difficult Eminem's struggle was to get where he is. Although it is only semi-autobiographical, it lets us see a slice of his life before he was famous, and how hard he worked for what he achieved. The failures he experienced and persevered through helped me to see him as much more human than we think of him in his celebrity. The acting is surprisingly good, as is the story line, and it does not depict the shocking raunchiness that people find offensive in his lyrics. I recommend it to anybody who wants to see a movie about beating the odds, and for anyone who wants to deepen their understanding and respect for Em as a person.

Summary: AMAZING
Review: I just got back from the movie and i gotta say that the movie was OFF THE HOOK. Em was amazing, the music was tight, and actors such as Mekhi Phifer, Brittany Murphy, and Kim Basinger also deliver amazing performances. You don't need to like Eminem or his music to appreciate this film.
