All Eyez On Me (Blu-ray)

I have to admit, “back in the day” the only thing I knew about Tupac was what I saw on the news and in the tabloids. While others – perhaps diehard fans – have dismissed this movie, I found it to be a good introduction and motivated me to dig deeper into his career and personal life. I didn’t realize his parents were so politically involved, nor did I know Tupac attended a fines arts high school, and later made several respectable films. He was obviously a bright and talented person. Yes, he came across as controversial, but maybe it was more for how he said things, and not what he said. In other words, some of his valid messages may have gotten lost on the messenger.As for the film, I thought Demetrius Shipp did a good job. His resemblance to Tupac is uncanny and there were a few times I had to remind myself that I was watching Shipp, not Tupac. For me, the movie helped shed light on many events in his short life. Particularly revealing – how accurate, I don’t know – were the scenes with his parents. His upbringing sheds light on why Tupac become the person he was. The portrayal of East and West coast rap stars of the day seemed well thought out and well cast. For example, the actor cast as Suge Knight was a good call (imagine a bio-pic about Suge!).Tupac seemed to be one of those whose light burned brighter and faster than most. Like a comet, it lights up the sky for a brief time and then is gone. In his short life, he saw many things and did many things. Diehard Tupac fans might know all the deficiencies of this movie, but for those who want an introduction to the man and his motives, this is a good place to start. It certainly opened my eyez!

Great movie about one of the greatest voices of the last century, and the voice of his generation the iconic Tupac Shakur who left this earth in Sep 1996. I'm sure he's happy with what they did here as the movie showed his life as best as possible without ever really crossing the line in anyway in any biased direction. I don't get some of the backlash it got as a fan of Tupac since he rose up thru the concrete to super stardom in Juice, and for his music with Digital Underground, and than his solo career which lasted a short but prolific period.They had only so much time to tell his life story and in the time they had they did a fine job in my honest opinion, and to be real his life was so complex I was blown away they captured as much of it here in this movie. His life was a movie which would make for a hell of a long standing movie series or show if you want to tell the entire tale. But for now this movie will do fine, and the acting, directing, and editing was as flawless as could be.The actor picked with the impossible task of recreating Tupac did for his first movie ever a remarkable job, and after a few minutes it's like you're looking at Tupac himself. Actor Demetrius Shipp Jr. who's father ironically enough produced for Tupac for his "All eyez on me" double cd was someone I was skeptical on early on since he had no acting in his background, and his online videos which leaked of his audition were less than convincing really like I said he was great. The man stepped it up, and he got Pac down from look to expression to body language... It was again like having Tupac back in live action on film. I welcome his next movie, and will be keeping an eye on his career as it should be a great one.Oh , and having Money B from Digital Underground along with The Outlawz involved in both the movies production and playing themselves in the movie was both epic & awesome. The entire cast again did a great job... Special stand out in the cast other than Shipp Jr was Dominic L. Santana who played Death Row record owner Suge Knight he was big, imposing, and every bit as suave as the real man himself. Great job all around I thought, and this made my top 3 list of movies of the year.THUG LIFE, Outlawz 4 life!

Demetrius Shipp not only portrays the likeness and mannerisms of the public perception of Tupac, but he presents the rap icon in such a believe manner that I was completely drawn in and forgot it was a movie at points. I had an incredibly hard time wrapping my mind around the scenes including "Jada" and found the actress' portrayal of her unbelievable and distracting from the overall greatness of the movie. The subplot following the post-incarceration life of Afeni Shakur is inspiring and tear-jerking. All-in-all, "All Eyez on Me" was fabulously entertaining.

Knowing that this a Benny Boom film who's primary a music video director not a major motion picture director it was what I expected coming from him. Was it great, no. Was it terrible, definitely not. I thought the cast was very good especially Shipp, nobody can ever play Pac perfectly well enough to satisfy everybody that's impossible, but he did a great job. I was overall satisfied because it showed me a 2Pac that I knew, I didn't know him personally just through his music and interviews like so many of us. I would have liked to seen more of a complete view of Pacs life, and yes there were many things left out and some things were added just for the movies sake and I understand how that works. At the end of the day it was entertaining to watch and held my undivided attention. I enjoyed it and I'm gonna watch it many more times in the future, and as I do I know it'll get even better.

Ok but not great at all. Demetrius Shipp Jr. who portrayed Tupac did an outstanding job. Played the part to a tee looking and acting just like Tupac. But the directors ruined it by not going all out like they should've. It feels like a movie that was just enough to get by so they could get paid off of Tupac's name honestly. The one good highlight of the film was showing how easily manipulated Tupac was by "so called friends" who didn't really have his best interest at heart and him not having the right guidance in terms of being quick tempered, angry and being such a loose cannon which ultimately in the end lead to his downfall. It's ok for those who never grew up on Pac in his prime on top of his game but sucks big time for die hards like me who really felt the passion of his music during his time and mesmerized by his persona.

If you loved that time in Hip hop with 2Pac and Biggie this is an essential must see.

I enjoyed this film as I knew little about Tupac's early beginnings into the world of rap.

Great film a must see

Came quickly, good product

Total worth watching
