Watch 8 Mile For Free

The Worst Film Ever

So much average

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I'm not really into watching this type of genre but this one is different I did not get bored while watching the film and Eminem can really act to think that this is his debut film.

When I think of 8 mile I think of the word "Realistic." I wouldn't say "Good" nor "Bad" but realistic.To start, the characters are very realistic, layered, and each one of them behaves in ways you'd expect people in their situations to be like. This is a heavy foundation of the film as you enjoy seeing these characters on screen and how they react to new situations. Also the direction was surprisingly well done. I went in expecting this film to be carried by it's star actor but the direction, especially the atmosphere of the city at night, was very authentic.However, the story is not the greatest. Don't get me wrong, the idea is great and I suppose all boys have at least dreamt about being a rapper, but the film fails to support it's realism in the story. Things happen in this film to inconvenience or convenience the main character, and don't happen naturally. Sometimes there is hinting that these things will happen but that is the most you are given. This makes the films three act structure really forced. Another problem I had was that the film sort of forced you to agree with its opinion. Staying spoiler free, the characters do things, or make some rhymes, and the film sort of says "Yeah that's right, this is cool, and this is right!" without leaving you the space to make your own mind. Final problem, for a film about music, there is quite a lack of music and original songs. There was only one original song, which was "Lose Yourself." It did deserve to win the Oscar as it matched everything in the film and, by itself, is a good song.Overall, I would recommend this film to watch as an example of what a totally realistic film looks like, for better or worse.

spoiler alert this movie is one of the best I've ever seen. it is a must watch is was not to long winded but just enough to make its point it shows how (rabbit) had to work hard through all the criticisms and negativity.i would recommend it for fans of Eminem it was brilliant and i would not hesitate to watch it again

Summary: I am a big Eminem fan (a Stan, mind you). So I watched this movie mostly for the prime reason of Eminem being one of the actors. I did not really have high expectations for this movie. It ended up as one of the best movies I have ever seen. I also ended up watching it a total of 7 times. Not getting bored a single time. I know the movie from the beginning to the end, story line is great. Interesting and mind capturing, great deliverance and all actors were decent to good, excluding Eminem who was a GOD as an actor. One of the very best one.The movie is about this fellow white "wannabe" rapper Jimmy, who is seeking a better live and wants to quit living with his mom. Actors: 8 / 10 - Plot: 9 / 10 - Story line/Events: 10 / 10 NOTE: Some actors were half decent, some very good. So that is why actors get an 8 out of 10. Recommended: YES! Great rap moments, tho should be noted if you're not into hip-hop this will not be a movie of your biggest interest.
