Recently had an opportunity to see the Tupac biopic through an advance media screening. Won't post any major spoilers in this comment (well, we all know how it ends!) but I will say that I was very pleasantly surprised. After the initial trailers I had some skepticism about whether or not the movie would do 'Pac's legacy justice. In my opinion, they succeeded there. The movie provides a well researched overview of his entire life, not just focusing on the height of his fame (eg: Death Row), but other periods including his attendance of the Baltimore school for arts; his affiliation with Digital Underground, etc.

Demetrius Shipp Jr does a fantastic job as Tupac, nailing many of his signature mannerisms, inflections, etc. Acting across the board is generally solid, with the actor portraying Suge doing some good work also. If I had one criticism, it would be that I preferred the cinematography of, say, Straight Outta Compton over All Eyez. Benny Boom does an accomplished job as the Director, but the movie has the visual "sheen" of a Notorious, whereas Straight Outta Compton looked a little more gritty in places (more befitting the subject matter.) It's a minor complaint and one that doesn't detract from the overall enjoyment of the film. Looking forward to seeing it again next month.

Blood$:
I have faith that the movie will be dope and do 2Pac's legacy justice, but yeah I kinda figured the cinematography wouldn't be quite there with Straight Outta Compton as that was some next level shit lol
