Watch Feel The Noise For Free

Perfect cast and a good story

Great Film overall

The first must-see film of the year.

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

Wow. I am surprised at how tough the reviews are as well as how low the score is for "Feel the Noise" on IMDb. In fact, it's rated so low that it can be found on the website's Bottom 100 list! Owch!! However, after seeing it, I just felt that a lot of people are being really, really rough on this little film. Now perhaps my perspective is different from most--after all, I'm a 45 year-old White guy--hardly the typical viewer for this reggaeton/rap movie!! However, I saw some things about the film that I liked--though I'll also admit it had a few shortcomings.Perhaps one of the biggest reasons I enjoyed the film is that I've been to Puerto Rico a couple times--the last time being just a few months ago. A lot of the scenes in the film were very familiar because I saw the same places when I visited. It's funny, but the basketball court and cemetery near the two old forts in San Juan really are NOT that close to the neighborhood in which the family lives--but I can understand a bit of artistic license. I also liked hearing the music. While I am FAR from a reggaeton fan, I sure heard a lot of that music and it was nice to hear it again--it's hard to hate that infectious beat.The story is about a young punk from New York that nearly gets himself killed for hanging with the wrong crowd. Overstaying his welcome, his mother sends him to his estranged father in Puerto Rico to live--at least until the heat dies down--otherwise, he might be a dead man. Once in his new home, he forms a quick relationship with his step-brother and they find a common bond through their love of music. Eventually, they create their own demo tape--a fusion of reggaeton and rap. The two guys and their lady friend eventually are discovered by a record producer and things look great. But a few problems develop along the way--the girl's ex-boyfriend is nuts and the producer is not quite as nice a guy as he seems. Will they make it or die trying? The film is not especially deep. The main characters could use a bit more depth and likability. However, the story is fast-moving and never boring and the music very nice. I particularly liked the ending at the Puerto Rican Day parade in New York. Light and enjoyable fluff.By the way, I was unfortunate enough to have seen this on VH-1. There were tons of commercials and I think they cut the heck out of it, so perhaps the version I watched was a bit different and had a different flow than most others saw--though this wouldn't account for THAT big a difference in scores.By the way, this is about the third or fourth film from the Bottom 100 I have seen that's about Black culture with Black actors that made the list but seemed MUCH better to me--too good for this infamous list. A couple other films I felt were unfairly maligned were "I Can Do Bad All By Myself" and "Phat Girlz". All three were decent entertainment. Sure, they had a few faults...but not anything THAT significant.

Feel the Noise was a joke. It earned a 5 because of Zulay Henao's hotness. I agree with other reviewers that this movie had no real plot or a decent script. I felt like I was stuck watching a long music video. Nothing about Feel the Noise was remotely believable. Omarion's character is wanted in NY by a Supreme McGriff type syndicate. The syndicate goes as far as trying to shoot him. He jams to Puerto Rico to hide out. When he comes back the syndicate threatens his mother. After all this build up Omarion ends up fighting one of the syndicate to make things okay. WTF? A NY crime syndicate tries to shoot him then decides a school yard street fight is good enough. LAUGHABLE nonsense. Westside Story had more urban action than this POS. Stay away unless you want see Zulay Henao who is a fox.

It is riding high at number 11 worst film of all time. Deserves to be bottom 10! Reminded me of Eraserhead. You sat there watching this load of crap hoping it would turn into a goose, let alone a swan. But never did.With gas prices at $3.50 I wish I had the money to blow on producing such nonsense. At least it arrived in the mail! Avoid at all costs! Garbage. I am already wasting my time trying to fill in ten lines to describe a waste of 1.5 hours of my life. yes, CC is only value.No music, no dance, just time ticking by.

Once in a while a Movie comes along that really stirs you. Inspires you to go out and realise your dreams. Or at least makes you glad to be alive. Unfortunately,this was not one of those Movies. I did make it through to the very end. Though this was mainly due to the batteries in my remote control having died and me having a bad leg. It was so instantly forgettable that when my partner came home and asked me what i'd done all day i was able to recall the ironing and clipping my toenails,but any semblance of having watched a Movie had completely disappeared from my mind. I only remember it now to write this because i've just had a phone call from the video store telling me it's overdue.
