Can we all admit that Notorious (movie) was a complete embarrassment?

[Illuminatos]

I thought it was a good movie.

this could've been a dope movie if they didn't try to portray Biggie as this saint and just kept it gutter and true to his lifestyle but they could never do that with Ms. Wallace having so much input. Lmao at them trying to convince the audience that Life After Death was a positive and uplifting album

Exactly.

 

[bewitched]

Biggie was dope but a movie didn't need to be made. Nothing that we already knew about him was told either.

Again how did the movie portray Biggie as a Saint? He cheated on his wife, he could of been a better father and he actually sold drugs to Pregnant women. The movie didn't paint Biggie as not damn saint, he was just a young intelligent fatherless dude who got overtaken by the streets, found out he had talent and took it to the next level. You dudes making it like the movie had him as some choir boy. Again Gravy did a great job showing the duel sides of Biggie.

there was a man named gravy playing biggie?

as a tupac fan I loved it ... made him look like a straight up menace to bad boy LOL

 

[tybo]

dope movie

 

[sporticus]

Movie is only hated by Pac stans that can't stand the fact that he was a easy impressionable paranoid psycho that likely got himself and Big killed. They wanted a movie that somehow held Big responsible for things history has repeatedly shown he had nothing to do with.

The only thing I liked was the scene when Big warned Pac about the people he was hanging out with, because they was grimy. Pac said in interviews that his people, Mike Tyson, and Big all warned him about them Brooklyn cats, but Pac ignored all of their advice.

Exactly. Just because you show someone doing a negative act doesn't mean you're portraying them in a negative light. Breaking Bad, Sopranos and The Wire show people selling drugs and killing people, but they still portray lots of those characters doing those things as good or understandable.

This. Also, people talking about Angela Bassett's accent in the movie: Voletta Wallace has a hybrid Jamaican/American accent that sometimes sounds a bit "off", so Angela did a good job portraying that IMO.

...but it was more like a made for tv movie....

This.

Best thing about that movie was that it hipped me to who Antonique Smith was:
