Am I Missing Something?
Absolutely the worst movie.
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
I think people should pay attention to my review because I am a young adult, a teenager who lives in New York and can relate to a few topics in this movie.Three things that I thought were good from the movie were the dialogue, the actors especially Tupac as an actor and Omar Epps and the places where the movie took place.This movie accurately shows the teenage life in New York because it shows how kids be skipping school, spending more time in the streets than home and how their day one "bros" be switching up on them and how they deal with their situations in the hood. One thing I think it was bad it was the play and the role of the Spanish dude Radames because he over did some stuff, and the way he talked and how hard he tried to be tough.
This movie was a complete disappointment to me. Granted, I was born in 1993 and never got the witness the 2Pac era. From everything I read, 2Pac is a very intelligent and self educated man, but his acting in this role doesn't impress me. He is basically portraying the gangster image he portrays in his rap music. He didn't have to go too far out of his bubble. The plot was very basic and I was vastly disappointed. It's the kind of plot that has been reused so many times, except this one doesn't have any added elements that will keep you watching until the end, EXCEPT for Tupac Shakur (because of how influential he was at the time). There are far more superior gangster movies out there. Don't be deceived by this cast. Some names will make it very appealing but in the end, it will not be worth it.
A movie about 4 childhood friends from a "'hood" in there late high school years. Basically one of the guys in the clique lusts for "juice", in other words, respect and power. He lusts for it so much, he does some pretty crazy things... things that make you really dislike the character. Tupac Shakur, he plays this role. He did a great job acting, played the character very, very well.This movie never had any bad, boring, plain or corny moments to it. Throughout the whole movie was full of substance.This movie might not be for everyone however... but if you like 'hood movies, then this is an easy rec. If you like any drama movies, this is an easy rec. If you just like comedy movies, then I wouldn't recommend this to you. But, being me, I love the urban hood drama movies... and this one was one of the best was I've seen, 10/10 stars.
To start off, I am a huge Tupac fan, and watched this and Poetic Justice back to back. Those are very far away each other on the love story to horror movie equilibrium, and Juice won by a ton. This movie does a spectacular job of not portraying Tupac as the stupid rap star who wants to act, like T.I., Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre were portrayed in most of their movies. This movie has spawned many classic quotes for me, and shows just how tough the street can be for kids who have no idea what they are doing. This movie has a lot of symbolism, and has a very nice ending that ties well with everything that happens throughout. For being young guys, the four main stars do very well with making their character come to life. 10/10, this movie is a classic to me.
