The "black music biopic" is probably going to out gross this 2:1. LOL.

NWA isn't your average black biopic. Whites and Hispanics are going to be all over this.

[shayhiri]

It depends how many black people go to the movies these days. Yeah, it could pull a Tyler Perry.

 

But who cares? (outside of some US suburbs)

[moviesRus]

Riiiight. It's also sitting pretty at 92%.

[Chaz]

And it's not at all culturally relevant, what with cops clashing with black citizens and all. No sir.

[Ethan Hunt]

I don't keep up with MI.

You should at least give Rogue Nation a try and if you like it maybe try and watch the others

[WrathOfHan]

Reviews are pretty much where I expected them to be.

[JohnnyGossamer]

Reviews are pretty much where I expected them to be.

Yep... In the same range as Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes romps. Which, honestly, is fine by me... Just enough of an endorsement to get me to the theater.

If you (in general) have ANY idea how critics work, you would know these are the greatest possible reviews.

[shayhiri]

Ethan, we know that *you* do not have any idea. That is why I emphasized talking generally.

 

The people in this thread who are not Guy Ritchie hating trolls may want to check how terribly unjust the RT janissaries have been towards Master Ritchie with each of his great movies.

 

So this movie here will be great as always - even better.

 Look, critics are reluctant to give glowing reviews to properties like the Man From UNCLE, which is viewed by many as a kitsch old TV series. Critics are afraid if they gush about it, they will seem twee. I know critics self image shouldn't be part of the review process, but it is.

[sambullus]

NWA isn't your average black biopic. Whites and Hispanics are going to be all over this.

Citation? NWA are just as divisive now as they were then. 

[sambullus]

Not much buzz around this. May also be hurt by MI exceeding expectations and being a similar type of spy movie.

a couple of weeks ago a lot of people were saying Mi5 had no buzz or traction with audiences

[TStechnij]

If you (in general) have ANY idea how critics work, you would know these are the greatest possible reviews.

What does that even mean?

[moviesRus]

The same critics have given the last 2 MI films over 90% on RT. Not to mention the Jump Street movies.

[TStechnij]

Yeah. Critics don't have an agenda and I am sure they would want to reward a stylish espionage movie...

Liked for the use of "Janissary."

Does this sound somewhat familiar to you?

 

Yes, this is the Shay's modus operandi.

Liked purely for Portal purposes.
