Ok!!! Here is my opnion on this movie:

K, this movie is almost an autobiography of Eminem's life. I suppose that's why he's so belieable in the movie. He's been talking about his life through his music for almost 5 years.

The story line to me is pretty boring and not original. If Eminem wasn't playing "Rabbit" I don't think the movie would be getting as much play. I wouldn't go as far as saying Eminem is a good actor, cuz an actor is supposed to go outside of themselves and Em wasn't going too far.

I think the best part of the movie is the freestyles. Not Em's best, but still pretty dope though.

It's almost an autobiography of his life in that he is a poor struggling rapper, from detroit. but in real life he was pissed off at everyone and everything, in this movie he plays alot more of a good guy, secondly his mom is only a bitch to him when he interfers with her bf, and the one time she gets hammered. Em's mom was (at least according to him) always fucked on something, treating him like shit, and he barely lived with her. kim bassinger's character loves her son, and does what she can for him. i thought his acting was very good personally. but that is just my opinion and i respect yours.....
also i agree with your last statement about the freestyles, some of the rhymes he spits are relly dope, but some of em aren't that great. but you also gotta remember that he isn't rhyming about his usual stuff, like gay-bashing, women killing, fans pissing him off, etc. actually he does the opposite.....

fucking priceless!!
Ya that was one of the best parts!! Hahahah. Eminem and Kim Bassinger did great acting jobs. Brittany Murphy was pretty good too...and the little girl was adorable, I felt so bad for her.

There was tons of younger people in the theatre I went to too..I dunno how they got in cuz they ID u and then check your tickets at the door..:P Meh wutever..

i thought the movie wasnt too bad. you pretty much expect whats coming up next cuz it was his life story and you hear about it in all the songs he sings just like tim said.
i thought the best part were the freestyles, those were pretty good beats.
i'm not 18 yet and i got ID'ed and i still was able to get in, which was weird cuz i was a little scared that i would've gotten rejected

JuNgLe~BuNnY,

I am glad that you are one of the fans of 8 Mile who has actually has a good review on the movie. A lot of people will say its a great movie and wouldn't be able to say why.

Let me ask you this? If they took out Eminem and put him in another movie role before 8 mile, do you think he'd be able to pull it off and get respect? Also, what if they got someone else to play Eminem, would the movie be as good?

And to let everyone know. You must be 18 to watch 8 mile. If you are not, you must be accompanied with a guardian that is 19+ and you must sit within arms reach. If you try to grab some random person to be your guardian, they better be sitting beside you. The theatres do not give the rating to the movie, the movie board does. Most of the theatres will be doing crackdown on major days (Friday,Saturday,Sunday & Tuesday) cuz there are major fines if underage people are let in. Also, a lot of workers love to catch underage people cuz honestly its an ego trip and also its funny to see people argue.

Next time you come to Silvercity Coquitlam, come and say hi. I'm the asian guy running around with a headset. You can't miss me. Ha Ha!

to answer your first question i honestly don't know, also whether or not he got respect is everyone's own opinion, because alot of ppl will probably say he didn't gain their respect, and i personally already had respect for him.
Obviously the movie wouldn't be as good if it was someone other than eminem, but that is just my biast opinion, its the same as me saying that any movie with eminem would be just as great as this one.
on a more serious note tho, yes i think it would've bin just as good if someone else was cast, as long as he is a good actor. movies have a lot to do with the actors in them, obviously, but if the storyline, etc isn't well written then theres not much the actors can do to make it much better.
well with the prices at silver city i doubt i'll be going there anytime soon, but next time i do i will be sure to look for you.

ahhh that makes sense, but it was a pretty long movie already (almost 2 hours) and maybe this opens the door for a sequel??

my review:

eminem played a really good part...as did everyone in the movie except for brittany murphy...i really really didnt like her in this role...it seemed like she was forced to say some off the lines...she wasnt beleivable....she couldnt dance...she really really bugged me in the film.

^^^Same here. It was one of those movies that inspires you to get up off your ass and work towards achieving your goals.
