Jan 3, 2018 I didnt like it when I first saw it, then when I rewatched it many years later I enjoyed it. Its not a bad film, pretty entertaining. Nothing groundbreaking but its pretty good for a hip hop film.
Jan 3, 2018 I thought he performed quite well for someone who had never seriously acted before, much less as a lead part in a major film.
Jan 4, 2018 8 Mile is an average movie. When I saw it in theaters, I thought it was the s---. Soundtrack is 10/10 though which was also written at same time as TES, so I wouldn’t be hating on the movie too much because it was a reason we got those songs.
Jan 4, 2018 Nah, great movie. Great lead performance from Em and all the main characters, good atmosphere created and they did a great job of applying... (especially back then) the obscurity - or seeming obscurity - of rap battles / battling to a broader performer, struggle type thing.
