in retrospect Larenz Tate performance as O'Dog is overrated

If you want to see WOAT acting go back and watch New Jack City. Wesley Snipes nailed his character but the rest of the cast was awful. I can no longer take that movie seriously.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Caine was the worst actor in the whole damn movie...just

I watched again recently.. I have to agree

Yep... and the movie Menace 2 Society is overrated. Boys N the Hood was a better film.

The movie Menace to Society was a little too cartoonish... it was way too extra. You can tell that the filmmakers of Menace 2 Society watched Boyz N the Hood and was like... "We making a movie way harder than Boy N the Hood... it's going to be some real hood shyt".

When the Hughes brothers made Menace 2 Society they were clearly trying to outdo Boyz N the Hood... and they FAILED.

Nah we loved M2S just as much if not more because actually it is a bit more realistic than Boyz n the hood...let's not be a revisionist now...if u didn't see this movie in 1993 then u don't understand how we felt about this certified classic....bad acting and all

Wax was the most believable nikka in the movie....

“Ay homie, you need some help”?

Umm no

He was the corniest character and did the most over acting

Stop please. Both Kaines and O-Dogs performances were critically acclaimed. If there was anything to have issue with, it was the movie itself which is tough to say because it's so beloved.

 

[I Really Mean It]

Umm no

Overacting? Do you know who MC Eiht is?

 

[BrothaZay]

Overacting? Do you know who MC Eiht is?

Yes. A rapper. Someone who acts for a living

Had to neg you for this one.

His character isn't SUPPOSED to be believable. Its supposed to shock you into saying "there aren't really murderous teenage black boys that carry themselves this way...are there??" The movies was written meticulously to blur the lines between the heros and villains. By the end we don't know if O-Dog is our loyal best friend who would back us up no matter what, or the reason we're knee deep in shyt to begin with. And he sold that role 100%.

Overall it's nowhere as good as Boyz In Tha Hood in hindsight. Still one of my favorite movies of all time don't get me wrong. I just feel like Boyz In Tha Hood is a level above

Boys was directed much better and had better dialouge but it had NO depth. The movie was basically a poster that said "Gangs cause every problem. Be good and you can win" with some "Fatherhood is good" mixed in. Tre was pretty close to morally perfectct which is hella unrealistic. There's never any doubt a

Caine on the other hand was heavily flawed and MUCH more realistic. The crazy thing about Menace is that you could have directed that movie from like 6 or 7 different perspectives (Ronnie, O-Dog, Ileyna's cousin, Chauncey, Stacey, A-Wax) and they all would have been COMPLETELY different movies. That's what real life is.

That nikka killed that shyt

Now we got lames in here micro critiquing Menace 2 Society 25 years later?

That movie in real time hit the spot, period.
