I don't care what anyone says, I loved this movie. It's about a normal man looking oppression in the eyes and overcoming impossible odds. ...Real enough for me. |

I was going to post a link about this tonight and ask if anyone seriously was going to pay money to see Eminem act as badly as he makes music. Guess that answers my question. |

The title track is pretty catchy though. |

the title track isn't the single, that's "lose yourself." but you might have the soundtrack and be referring to the title track.... *wank wank* sorry |

i give it about an 8 out of 10. i wanted to love it but it had some failings. i still thought it was great and people should see it, even if they're not "eminem fans." here's what i DIDN'T like about it: 1. the movie feels incomplete to me. the ending could have been more drawn out. i still have some unanswered questions about the characters, especially alex (brittany murphy). and as for "8 mile part 2," it's highly unlikely there will be a sequel (even if there were, my questions wouldn't be answered cos they're more like underdevelopment in the plot). 2. kim bassinger should have had more lines. 3. the character cheddar was perhaps TOO cheesy. 4. although the lyrical battle scenes are pretty accurate, i must say that eminem's character couldn't rhyme nearly as well as eminem cerca 1995-8. for evidence of this just listen to any of his many freestyle sessions, especially the 12 minute mp3 between him, canibus, and royce. i don't know if this is eminem's fault for losing sight of what once made him such an amazing underground rapper or if he intentionally did this to show that rabbit is still learning. 5. eminem's eyes were really buggy. maybe i just never noticed before but in the screen they're kinda bulging. here's what i DID like about it: 1. back to the battles, whether or not rabbit is as good as eminem was back in the day, the lyrics and performances were all really good (all the battlers). if i get the dvd i'm gonna mp3 the battle scenes cos i love freestyles and it was really cool to hear eminem rip shot over the beat to mobb deep's "shook ones." 2. the beatdown and gang intimidation scenes were pretty realistic as well. 3. the whole movie (not just the battle rhymes) was pretty funny. 4. it was also well acted by all parts. (however, it's hard to really say "eminem was amazing" because this role isn't too far from his past and present reality. but in that regard i'm sure it was much better than mariah carey in glitter. i'll hold off on my praise for eminem's ac |

i'll hold off on my praise for eminem's acting till his next movie, but i think he did a great job in this role.) 5. it was amusing to see eminem and bjork share a commonality. both are musicians who took breakthrough roles in music-based movies in the last couple years, and in these films they BOTH work in steel factories when they really want to be singing/rapping (bjork of course being the RAPPER). 6. some nice instrumental and alternate mixes of "lose yourself" scoring in the film. 7. good performance from mekhi pfifer; nice to see him performing something besides a "pretty boy" role. 8. it was fun to see kim bassinger's first appearence in the film, buck naked and riding "D". 9. good hip-hop nostalgia for me (the song selections, and posters and stickers everywhere). 10. overall one of the best hip-hop oriented films to date. 11. it shows that eminem has great potential and could perhaps get past his own present bullshit posturing and do something respectable and interesting before he retires at age 30 (which he says he will in one of his recent songs). |

saw the film today....and i have to say it was very entertaining, eye opening, and a showcase for some not 'huge' stars that maybe will get noticed. ie..mekhi pfifer i think the movie tried to deal with too many issues and never really explained or fully explored them, it tried to do too much that way. i also think that the editor cut a lot of stuff out that will more than likely be explained on the DVD, especially some scenes with his mother? scenes with his love interest....they were just left hanging out ....IMO overall i recommend this film.....i enjoyed the battle rap and the soundtrack of the movie....TWO THUMBS UP!! =0) |

Glad you liked it Tits. There were some minor hokey parts but as a whole, I thought the movie was so good that they slipped by my cheese radar virtually undetected. I think the final battle would have been worth the price of admission alone.. I left with shivers in my spine. |

the daughter was a good actress but rabbit's interactions w/ her were pretty hokey. *rabbit kicks the shit out of someone then says "hi baby! daddy's here and he loves you!"* yea the battle put me in the mood to watch or at least listen to some other battles... check out that eminem/canibus/royce one if you can find it, it's seriously good |

Yeah, I was going to ask you about that.. Do you have it available for me to leech off of in soulseek? |

if i were on, yes -- however, to conserve RAM for the DVD i'm about to watch, it's not on. just add "eminem canibus freestyle" to your wishlist. |
