I thought about seeing this yesterday, but I went to see something about white girls living in New York City instead.

I just re-watched Boyz n the Hood recently and it is kind of like an after school special but not necessarily in a bad way. It was a pretty good balance of "hey, check out this hardcore gangster movie" balanced with some heavy handed talk about gentrification, gender roles, AIDS, drugs, and violence. It helps that it had a lot of very talented actors in it as well.

Compare it to Menace II Society which was mostly just "hood movie" with a little bit of a message tacked on so sloppily that most people probably missed the point. The only thing the lead actor in that movie ever did after that was a lovely FMV CYOA game. Retsuprae did a pretty good longplay RP of it that's worth watching.

boyz n the hood sucked a fat dong compared to menace ii society

yeah this was what I was thinking for the last third of the film. there's so much to cover and it's so tonally varied that it might have been way better as an expanded miniseries instead of having a bunch of dropped subplots and really hard gear changes between acts. I know it's a biopic and kinda has to work with what it has, but the film's story and emotional arcs are so all over the place that 2/3 of the way through you start wondering when and how the gently caress the film is gonna come to a satisfying close. thank christ eazy got AIDS or the third act woulda been a total loving misfire

i liked the movie but I agree with all this and was having the same thoughts at about 2/3rds through it

almost felt like the first 2/3rds were done then they realized the poo poo was long as gently caress already and they rushed through the end bits (but again not complaining, poo poo was 2.5 hrs long already)
