Not a Surprise the Philly Daily News gives 50 Cents Movie a Poor review - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 11-09-2005, 03:13 PM

Movie Critic says that 50 Cents can't act at all, a poorly scripted mess of a movie, not much of a showcase. In other words, this movie is A$$-lol Honestly though, i think it's only for people who listen to his music. I'm sure they won't have a problem with the movie. So to sum it up, if you are not into HIP HOP, don;t go see this movie.

The New York Daily News gave it a negative review too. Ebert and Roeper said there wasn't that much music in it, so it might not just be all about hip hop. I want to see it, but I won't go to the theater to see it. I'm waiting until it comes out on dvd because I don't want to get stabbed.

R U Serious???? Man, I guess the Oscars are not in their future then...

BTW, it's movies like this that I bet Ebert wishes he could kill himself. on a lighter note, maybe he just goes to sleep while he is watching it.

Not sure what you mean, but Ebert gave it a positive review.

Ebert likes a lot of Black movies, seriously. Howard Stern jokes with him about it because Ebert as a Black girlfriend, I think. But yes, Ebert and Roeper reviewed it on their TV show this past weekend and they gave it two thumbs up.

My newspaper gave it a pretty good review. Then again, there's a large hip-hop influence in my area.

I can't stand that hip-hop stuff

This is not so farfetched. Violent reactions to films like this are one of the reasons why certain inner city neighborhoods didn't/don't have cinemas.

On an unrelated note, there is male nudity in this film. Just how hardcore is 50 Cent supposed to be if he is stripping butt naked in a movie? His female and gay fans would probably pay to see it, but the hardcore crowd probably think he's making an A-- of himself.

Truthfully, I don't really get this guy's appeal as an entertainer. Judging from his videos I can't imagine that he has any type of acting skills. He's an extreme example of lowest common denominator marketing, like an urban male Paris Hilton.

I said that half jokingly, but I automatically expected to hear about something happening with movie. I'm glad that so far there haven't been any reports of any violence going on. If we get through the weekend with nothing happening, that'd be a good thing.

I think 50 Cent so intent on making himself look like he's going to be the next Tupac/rap legend. But anyway, I think the story looks interesting. There hasnt been anything out that has really interested me lately besides 40 Year Old Virgin...if I hear good reviews I'll probably see it...

vashti1999 · 11-11-2005, 12:50 AM

Hopefully this link works. It's Roger Ebert's review of the movie. He gave it three stars.
