Chadwick Boseman better get an Oscar for this shyt because he literally BECAME James Brown in that movie. He had the look, the walk, and the fukking dance :wow:

For you dumb nikkas thinking this is going to be like 42 :camby:....this is about James motherfukking Brown and that dude deserves an Oscar for this. Real talk...:banderas:

I enjoyed the movie. I thought homie did an OUTSTANDING job as late great James Brown! I thought the narrative could've been a little better, I didn't really like how the movie bounced to different time periods back and forth. But overall it's a pretty good flick, but my man's acting was the main attraction!

Why they release this during the summer?

Is it just me or did this movie release with no buzz?

such a moronic decision to release this the same weekend as a marvel blockbuster :snoop:

its up there with releasing dragon tattoo on christmas

This should have been more like an october movie

might see it tomorrow though :mjpls:
