All Eyez on Me: A História de Tupac

Damn!! Had the so called pleasure of seeing this so called Biopic of Tupac today, and well as you can see by my rating and the title it is not good. But do not think i am a hater, I love most films. And for the people who know me, they know how much I admire and love Pac. So it was incredible disappointing to see this garbage. It baffles me how even the actors involved were okay with this. This film has just bunch of random scenes, which have no connection to one an another and no introduction to lead them in, it was like the writers, and i do mean writers! because there was 3 decided to put random scenes and then were like "How are we going to connect them? what will be their part in the overall story" and the director replied "Who cares, we will show the audience the progression from Tupac from child to adult and have it in between interview with him, trust me it will look cool" But it didn't. Not only that, but some of them were not introduced or had any real meaning to the story, while others were complete lies. Jada Pikett-Smith came out and said every scene involving her was a lie and never happened! What?! Gotta be joke, right?... Nope, its true. She came out and publicly said it. I cant believe that after such great story telling biopics like Notorious B.I.G and N.W.A we get this piece of trash! I'm sorry but this movie was terrible. They made Pac look like an idiot. its that simple, he listened and agreed with people in the film from first contact, his actions and rise to fame were overlooked by him acting like a spoilt brat. his charisma and portrayal of thug life, gangster type was non-existent as he coward back from any real decision in the film. Do yourself a favor and watch Tupac: Resurrection 2003 documentary then this film! It is much better.

I just got done watching this movie on HBO and it had my attention through the entire thing. It was engaging, well acted and produced. I guess my expectations were not as high as other reviewers. I didn't expect angels to sing and have Tupac delivered unto me by Charlton Heston-like narration. I expected a biopic about a talented young artist who had a lot to offer who was killed when he was way too young. That's what this movie is about.

The movie doesn't romanticize Tupac and the lead actor looks and acts so much like him it's eerie. They show Tupac was in part responsible for sowing the seeds of his own death. I remember that time and there was an incredible amount of anger and hate in Rap music, the East Coast vs West Coast rivalry and with the gangs. When Tupac was killed a lot of people thought, well, that's the thug life. This movie shows that Tupac, despite his prison stay and public posturing, wasn't really about that life at all. He was an artist, who had incredible talent, sensitivity and range. This movie captures that.

I liked the movie and will watch it again. As for the haters I really don't know what they were expecting.

Clearly attempting to capitalize off the success of Straight Outta Compton, All Eyez on Me is a decent biopic that glosses over and ignores what made Tupac a legend. Focusing mostly on his rap career, his rise to fame, his conflicts with Biggie and Bad Boy Records and his untimely and still unsolved murder, it glosses over his activism, his poetry and his captivating artistry. Tupac was an incredible human being who died too young and this film doesnt do enough justice to his legend

As a Tupac fan, i really wanted to like this film...John Singleton/Antoine Fuqua where are you? Its worth a watch, but if your looking for answers and or clues this movie doesn't really have it. The Biggie & Tupac documentary's are much more informative. Props to Darius Shipp JR, he definitely looks the part but he doesn't sound Like Pac and imo he moves/carrys himself different too.

RIP 2PAC

The hype about this movie was unreal. Things like "We will make Biigie's movie look like a cartoon" were flying around everywhere....

What a colossal disappointment. To have the life of such a person and character like Tupac and mess it up this bad, takes a special kind of bad. I thought that a small scale studio would have done a better job in exploring some unknown past but instead it focused on all the mainstream points of his life trying to shove a song anywhere they could.

The whole movie had zero flow, nothing seems to connect to the previous or future scene. It just feels like a mash-up documentary that someone made on Youtube and threw in a few Tupac songs.

The point of the movie was to make people discover and appreciate the personality, vision and spirit of Tupac. To show that he was a visionary and more than just another "rapper" from the block who cares about money, ice and women. Tupac was like shown as someone who is only hungry for glory and needs to settle some score instead of reaching out to people and connecting with them through music.

I can't really find one good thing about the movie except the Tupac's mom who only felt like a real person. The rest of the cast is flat out trash with no previous experience acting anywhere.

If you are a fan of Tupac, avoid this garbage at all costs...
