Very Cool!!!
It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
How can you read along in that tone and not feel like you are making fun of your own race of people. The time would arise when someone would need to get the people to do something to save themself and due to this mind tripping experiences it because a cause of grudge management. Testing because of a on screen Kiss and setting up a vicious murder on anyone only sways you all to another world of failing at your predestined goal. Make better sense and stop with the whining and finger pointing and all things could become fruitful for you and your generations down the line. The work is only good enough for you all to become more arrogant.
This is one of the greatest movies. the greatest romance movie to. Tupac performance is so great. he proves he can do different roles every time he acts. this is probably john singletons 2nd best film next to boys n tha hood of course. Tupac just gives a thug from the streets performance to a romantic performance. the movie is fun to watch especially when tupac and janet get in to arguments.
Poetic Justice is a great movie. It's not the follow up that wasn't as strong as it should have been for someone of Singelton calibar but it's still a good movie. Jackson and Shakur made their mark in this movie and keeps your attention. Check this out with Sineglton's other films in the ghetto trilogy, Boyz N The Hood &Baby Boy.
Now, honestly, if you werent born and raised in L.A. you probably wouldn't be able to relate to this. However, I was born and raised in L.A., and all of the characters speech, slang, and laid-backness reminds me so much of people I know, including myself. It especially reminds me of being a teenager in high school, and all the boy drama and fights where all we did was swear at each other. It's very easy for me to identify with, and I think as long as you're from Los Angeles, you should be able to relate to this film.
