I love this movie so much. I am so happy they showed us their story, but of course there's always gotta be people who hate. If its not your style then why go see it in the first place? Like they said any publicity is good publicity :)
LOVEDD IT!! Felt so liberated afterwards!!??
Great movie, one of the best for the year! Just shows you with hard work no matter where you come from you can make it, follow your dreams.
Sheer Brilliance! i personally had the same smug attitude as Tom Brokaw, NBC News Anchor, towards NWA's artistic lyrics and expression. After watching Straight Outta Compton, i now recognize NWA as creative geniuses reflecting the darkness of a margenalized and stereotyped group.
Violent - too much crappy rap - women degraded - this movie STINKS.
Fantastic movie! I don't like profanity; however, it was not gratuitous but simply reflects the way people on the streets and in these neighbourhoods speak. I'm not sure why some individuals keep referring to the movie as a musical which it clearly is not. Although familiar with a lot of the music, I was not that familiar with NWA and I still got a lot from the movie. It speaks of social and economical injustice as it relates to power, racism, breaking stereo types and is so much more than just a movie that you watch and leave the theatre thinking that "it was entertaining." I strongly recommend seeing this movie and keep an open mind as well as comparing many of the themes to what is still happening in society today.
great movie, got watch!!!
Best song: A B*tch Iz a B*tch.
