Menace To Society is a better movie than Boyz N The Hood

[Obtain Knowledge]

Menace To Society has aged a lot better than Boyz N The Hood has. I think Boyz N The Hood captured a certain era and time really good but now it seems rather bland. Menace To Society as a movie plays out a lot better than Boyz N The Hood although I think Boyz N The Hood does still have a good story to it. But overall, Menace makes for a much better movie.

I gotta disagree. IMO Menace To Society is poorly written; the internal dialogue of the main character just sounds so cheesy to me. I'm not denying it's a decent movie, it just feels so generic at times...

Boyz N The Hood is a great film on all levels though. The only thing that hasn't aged well is the cheesy ass original score, thanks to those saxophones lmao. You can tell Menace To Society and subsequent films were trying their hardest to replicate Boyz N The Hood, and it rarely worked as effectively.

Overall BITH is better in every way.

I enjoy the acting much more in Menace than I do in Boyz N The Hood. The acting in Menace seems much more realistic and relatable at times, almost like it's not even a movie. The narration of the main character is neither here nor there to me, it's ok in my opinion.

Without question Menace is a better movie. I thought this was well understood and accepted.

You should add a poll.

M2S feels more real and is grittier than Boyz.
Looking back at Boyz it is very episodic at times and a lot of what happens in the film is telegraphed in such heavy handed ways.
PLus I think the Hughes Brothers are better directors than Singleton.
Still love both movies though.

Preference really.

 

[Taadow]

Yes imo. Why?

Because Menace was that real chit. With the fucced up, abrupt ending and all.

Agreed, for me at least, Menace > Boyz

To me, Menace captured more of the mindset of some (not all) teens today. Young, wild and don't care. Alot them don't have a "Styles" in their life, getting raised by grandparents, thinking robbing, car jacking is the only to get money. Prison life. It's no different in 2012. Plus, O-Dog is a legend in hood movies. Only one who can compare is Bishop.

RG3 looks like he went to high school in 1978.
