“They said John Singleton was trying to defame Tupac with his script, Iu0026#39;m starting to wonder if they lied. It barely touches on his younger life, glosses over the main bits and moves on way too fast. The dialogue is boring. The controversial sexual assault scene did not go the way he said it went so Iu0026#39;m wondering how much more was fiction.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOne of the biggest things I noticed was that Tupac was almost too perfect. People know he wasnu0026#39;t perfect, he was flawed, he was paranoid and he had a hot temper to go with it. This movie skips all of that. Itu0026#39;s too scared to show anything that may put him in a bad light, but fans of Tupac accept his flaws and respect him regardless. Perhaps the next director who picks this up should remember that. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAlthough the acting wasnu0026#39;t too bad and mostly the script was shabby, Iu0026#39;ve always thought Romany Malco would be a better fit for Tupac since he has a stronger on-screen presence and more acting experience.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSomeone needs to pick this back up and do a movie that actually fits his legacy, Iu0026#39;m not even a big fan of rap music or Tupac, but if the Biggie Smalls movie and NWA movie got such great reviews and actually did a good job, I canu0026#39;t imagine how annoyed Tupac fans are feeling that this is by far the weaker of the free. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy recommendation, do not pay to go see this movie at the cinema. It doesnu0026#39;t deserve any box office plaudits. It needs to bomb to put the people behind it to shame.”
