(67)not a bad film
By cheesekake (1282 reviews) from uk , 22 Dec 2012I'm not a fan of rap in the slightest but thought this might be interesting and yeah it was but there was just a bit too much female nakedness and sex life for my liking, as oppose to more emphasis on the music- Was this review helpful to you?

Interesting but average
By gianino (618 reviews) from London , 25 Aug 2012Not bad bit average expecially in the acting. However, some of the MC rapping is quite impressing. Puff D in the movie is so much better looking than the real deal :) It goes on a bit but I was really interested to know all this East coast West coast feud and I think the movie goes into pretty good details, Angela Bassett was the best; great actress and gave an amazing performance- Was this review helpful to you?

Wrong certificate
By a customer , 03 Jan 2012I believe this was a good biopic, the bad thing about it was the swearing at every second of the film, because of this, i found it hard to watch this with the older generation (those that want to watch the biopic) also the sex scenes were at times a bit extreme so i think this film should have been certified an '18' instead of a '15' because of 1) the bad language used, 2) the moderate sex scenes.
Just saying- Was this review helpful to you?

A Notorious 8 Miles
By manonfireuk (299 reviews) from Liverpool , 05 Dec 2011The great thing about this biopic is that you don't particularly have to be a big fan of Notorious BIG to find this a really enjoyable movie. His story is told really well and the actor who plays him has got it spot on. I found it as enjoyable as if not more so than 8 Mile :o)- Was this review helpful to you?

Made by his mother
By Jim-jammery (3 reviews) , 21 Nov 2011Biggie's mother was heavily involved in the making of this film -and it shows. It watches more like a nicely polished version of Biggies Smalls, rather than who I really believe he was. It's a well made film, very well directed, and some excellent performances, but is made by his friends and family who have made it look as though he was always the victim, when we all know that wasn't always the case. Definitely worth watching, but with all that in mind.- Was this review helpful to you?
