wow a lot of racists in here.

I personally think his movie will be good, it's obvious he lived the stuff.

As opposed to many that say 'i would have', 'i could have', etc.

Why do you guys wondering about this think it's bad? Have you watched the film yet?

Someone at another forum I visit posted their thoughts on the movie, having attended a press screening. They said that most of 50's lines were nearly unintelligible and that in one scene he has his mouth wired shut and you can't tell the difference in his lines.

They're probably just afraid of being labeled as racist.

...or they're probably scared sh*tless.

Yeah, cause if two white guys give an honest two thumbs down . . . 50 cent, the NAACP, and all of black america will riot and kill people. blah. that sucks :(
So does your reasoning Cletus. Stop posting!


LOL

Maybe its just a decent movie. Like damn one the best actors in the business started out rapping. I ain't no 50 cent fan and won't be seeing except when its on hbo like 2 years from now, but maybe its a decent film. Man talk about drinking the hateraid.

True. His wife is black... and he always gives thumbs up to any black comedy.

In a matter of minutes I checked and pick out a couple of popular black comedies, Johnson Family Vacation and Friday After Next and both got thumbs down. So there is two of the more popular ones and he didn't like either one. So I am sure there are many more.

Hence two thumbs up for fiddy


No idea how you came to that conclusion. Doom: 1 star, Waiting 1.5 Stars, Legend of Zoro: 1.5 Stars, G: 2 stars, etc...

One thing that you can say about Ebert, he is a sucker for hot women, he especially likes Angelina Jolie, seems to always gives her movies 3+ stars.

all I have to say is many highly rated films just suck.

I am a professional making a nice amount of coin, me and my associates tend to agree...not that the poorer people can't choose a good movie, but it comes up.

I think 50 cent is a great celebrity.
