Title: Get Rich or Die Tryin
Post by: acgrundy on August 31, 2009, 11:54:53 PM
Is this movie supposed to be somewhat based off of 50's real life?

It was a piece of shit. Honestly Notorious was better, but even that was a piece of shit. Now a better one would have to be 8 mile. That's the whole reason Get Rich was made. lol IMO though It goes like this


Get Rich - 4

Notorious - 6

8 mile - 9 (still some fuck ups I thought, but over all it was good.

8 Mile has holes in the storyline for me. And Em is not a particularly good actor.

Ok maybe not holes but I just felt like it was missing something. Come to think of it, it is just the ending which seems a bit lacking for me. Both 8 Mile and GRODT both had poor endings.

8 Mile is easily the best movie named in this thread.

Notorious > Get Rich, but not by much.

Yeah, it was kinda hard for Em to fuck up playing himself in a movie about his life.

I loved 8 Mile.  As for 50's movie, I honestly forgot it existed until this thread.  Still don't want to see it.  After 50 came out with his second album and then thought it was going to take over the whole rap industry, I lost any interest in the fool.

I can't stand 50 as a rapper, but as a man I respect what he has done with his life.  I thought the movie was decent.  I haven't seen notorious, and I only seen 8 mile once several years ago...I liked it.  Neither movie is even close to classic, but both were entertaining.
