I cannot believe this...

8 Miles is actually getting excellent reviews.

see for yourselves:

77% approval rate! o_O


I don't think very highly of Eminem, actually I despise the little worm. When I first heared he was making a movie I compared him to Shaq in Kaazam, but if word of mouth is as good as reviews are I might have to see this one.


Scary.

He's an angry white rapper.....playing an angry white rapper....doesn't seem he like he would have trouble with that! :lol

[ReaperFett]

I will admit, from the clips I've seen he does actually seem quite a capable actor. It isnt a film I'll go see, but I will make sure I see it the moment its on rental.

[Jedi Master Carr]

I debating on seeing it all. I dislike him greatly and don't think I want to see it in theaters maybe video. I am still shocked it made 20 million on the first day, I think a lot of that was fans going out on first day I think Saturday and sunday will be lower totals. I was at the theater to see another film and 8 Mile didn't looked packed, the SC2 though seemed to be selling out, I think that is because families go to the theaters mostly on Saturdays.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I want to see this movie!! It looks good to me...or at the very least intruiging. I don't like his "killed my girlfriend and stuffed her in the trunk" songs, but some of his music is actually *really* good.

Besides, Kim Basinger is in it too. I likes her.

[Quadinaros]

Lil, it also has alot in common with Purple Rain. :p

Actually I saw 8 mile last night, and I thought it was a good movie. And I can say I don't like Eminem, and I really dislike rap music. The main reason I saw it is because I'm a fan of director Curtis Hanson. But it was a really interesting story to an unhip white boy like me. I'm glad I saw it. :cool

[Sanis Prent]

Well I (the minority) am an eminem fan, and I love his music. The movie looks good, but not enough for me to spend money on, so I'll wait for it.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

OH NO PURPLE RAIN! :eek

Thats it I take it back I'll wait for video so I can throw popcorn at the screen.

No wait..the difference between them is that..*gasp* Eminem might actually be able to act!!

[ReaperFett]

Prince might have been able to too :)

Despite the good things I've heard about this movie:

A) I really, really don't like Eminem.

B) I'm not interested in Hip-Hop, the time rappers have to do in jail or anything else of that nature.

Which makes it hard for me to justify spending the money on it. Especially since there are other things coming out.

[Dutchy]

$54.5M estimated weekend gross. That's a hell of a good opening.

[JMK]

I don't care at all about Eminem, and I don't foresee ever seeing this movie. Ah well.

[dbn]

Big fan of hip hop and rap, and really enjoy eminem a lot!
Needless to say I cannot wait to see 8 mile, and very happy to see the out come at the box office. I really had not a clue it would be that big of an opening--I thought it would make that much in its whole run. The question is now--can it make over 150?

I second that emotion.

[Xazor Elessar]

I went to see "8 Mile" last night and it was a very very excellent movie! It was directed well and the acting was really great! ;)

I am a huge fan of Eminem! I love his music and his overall F-U attitude. The movie gets its point across well and the music for it is awesome too! :D

*Skips away and waits to buy it when its released on DVD* :D

[Lilaena De'Ville]

OMG you and Charley have something in common!!!!!:eek

*faints, a la Scully in Monsters Inc*

[jjwr]

Maybe it'll be a decent film, what really annoys me though is all these singers/rappers/etc who do movies where they're singers/rappers/etc.....I mean thats just lame! Act as something else...please!!

Ok I'm done now :)

[Sanis Prent]

Well...it will be excusable if this is his only one. He could be like vin diesel though, and wind up playing only one part -- Vin Diesel.

[BUFFJEDI]

I have always disliked M&M. He's a loud mouth punk that tries to act tough, I'd -itch slap the bleach out of his hair. Anyone that sings about killing there wife/girlfriend and calls there mother a whore(true or not) is a slime ball. I will never understand his appeal to anyone. BUT he has made Millions (only due to others REAL talent) and he'll make more.I don't get it but ohh well:\

[JMK]

Where's the justice eh Buff???

[Daiquiri Van-Derveld]

Ive not seen it and probably wont until it comes out on video but for those that I talked to who had watched it, they all said that it was really good and that Eminem did a great job in it.

[Figrin D'an]

I'll consider seeing it if the reviews continue to be positive. But, not until video, if not until it hits the movie channels. It just isn't high enough on my film priority list to warrant spending the money on it.
