Die Another Day is a decent Bond film. A bit too long, but it was entertaining nonetheless.

Anyways, 8 Mile was a movie that I wanted to see anyways. I'll just say it's not what I thought it would be about, judging by the Trailers it seamed like it was going to be mostly about Freestyle Battle, but there was only one real scene for that and it was the end, very dissapointing. To me it seamed like a lot of filler and very little movie. He had that whore in there that he did who they said was his girlfriend, she was just there and didn't really play a part in the plot. The good thing is that they left it open for a sequel which I think has a lot more potential than this one had. If it was based on a true story, well, that's a completely different issue. As far as it all adds up, it's a movie that you'll have to see more than once to really enjoy I think, but I think once was enough for me. Watch the last 15-20 minutes of the movie and you've seen 90% of everything good in it.

The acting was fairly decent, Eminem was much better than I thought he'd be. just too bad the movie wasn't great. I probably could have written a better script myself. First off, I would have cut out a lot of the crap (with the slut, the house burning, the job, etc...), and focussed mainly on the rivalry between Free World and Eminem. Had him go to the Battle at least 3 times in the movie, and maybe have him actually record the song. I would have also put a lot more beats in the music from actual Eminem songs, and had him play more Tupac music =P

Overall I'd give it a 2/10 (5 being an average score)

Question, are there REALLY places in the US that look that crappy? Or did they film the movie in some third world Indonesian country?
