The moment they get money the movie starts to kinda suck. A very generic white washed history. The Easy-E AIDS thing turns EAZY into some Dickens cretin coughing on everything, was waiting for him to start walking around with a lil' crutch. Ice Cube's son is his own father in some Back to the Future shit. They just suddenly become popular and it feels lazy.

Does a decent job of covering pretty much all of the tragic NWA story...all except that part where the white 13-year-old living in suburban Oregon took his "Eazy Duz It" cassette to school and had it confiscated by his band teacher when he tried to listen to it on his dad's walkman behind the bass drum. Fuck the police.

The first hour of this movie is a cliche, but mostly fine biopic. The rest is a vanity piece for the two surviving members (who matter) and a lazy tribute to a dead guy. No amount of titties and ass can save superfluous scenes of Eazy-E coughing and Dre realizing people from Compton are dangerous. Also, I'm pretty sure there's a scene towards the end where the exact same footage of Paul Giamatti is used twice in a row. I assume the editor didn't notice because the whole movie is redundant.

There is no question in my mind that, if there were an Oscar for "Best Ensemble Performance", the team of Jackson-Hawkins-Mitchell-Brown-Hodge-Yates-Taylor-Giamaatti would take a steaming shit over 99% of the competition. They are goddamn pitch-perfect. I love the pace of this movie, taking a reasonable amount of time to tell a multi-year story. This is one of those embarrassingly-near-perfect gems that there is sometimes very little to say about. It all feels self-evident. Just see this movie.

Fantastic biopic featuring the NWA that showcases a great script, some stellar acting and an amazing soundtrack. I get that Easy E, Dr. Dre and Ice Cube were the biggest names involved, but it would have been nice to have a little more focus on MC Ren and Yella as well, it seemed like nothing really happened with them, they were just there hanging around in a bunch of scenes. Also would've liked to see more of the struggle to make it big, and less of the rich and famous partying.

Interesting biopic about the meteoric rise of ghetto rap. As unappealing as the music is to me, this movie was fascinating. Alternately hard-hitting or sugar-coated. Personal faults & dodgy, corrupt business practices destroys the group. It was very informative & worth watching but sometimes a chore to endure the near continuous barrage of angry or enraged characters. Acting performances were good, as was the production quality. Quite heavy on verbal violence, and light on balance.

A burnished little piece of myth-making that palliates every member of NWA, excuses all mistakes, and redacts a whole mess of unpleasantness. There are glimmers of something intrinsically interesting, particularly in the early parts of the film, where the eponymous rappers felt removed enough from their younger versions that they allowed the film to show their clumsiness. The second act onward is little more than marketing.

There are well done scenes, like the confrontations between the police and the group (especially at the concert in Detroit), and some of the early scenes of getting the band together. However, the film is ultimately hurt by following the traditional biopic structure, where everything is reduced to the major events. Unsurprisingly, largely because of their involvement in the production of the film, Ice Cube, Dre, and Eazy-E (EE's GF is a producer) are shown as the best versions of themselves.

This is an incredibly enjoyable movie about the rise and fall of N.W.A., complete with great drama, fantastic acting, solid music, surprising relevancy, and even a bit of humor. It could've been longer, and it could've avoided some biopic clichés, but those are afterthoughts when looking at the whole picture. Straight Outta Compton is a visceral and powerful film that is absolutely worth the trip to the cinema.

A timely biopic that parallels current unrest over police brutality and such, but it suffers from its glossy veneer and nostalgic, routine story structure far too much for me to truly love it. I loved learning about the start of NWA and the performances were all pretty great actually, which I think is a credit to how committed all the actors were to respecting their roles. However, this film can't escape its more maudlin moments and is far too digestible for a story with so much grit.

'Straight Outta Compton' doesn't deviate from the tried and true biopic formula (especially in its latter half), and the producers have made sure that the record is polished enough to fit their current images, but there's enough power in the performances and (admittedly) topical subject matter to make the picture well worth seeing for fans of hip hop and the uninitiated alike.

Hagiography, no doubt, but the music is good and the first half is a lot of fun. Some legitimate commentary on police abuse. Devolves into sentimentality towards the end. My score is higher than this movie deserves but scores are just numbers and if you like rap music (and you fucking should) this is worth a matinee. Fuck the police.

When it has to be emotional, it hits hard without becoming a vanity project. It moves along at a brisk pace, covers a lot of ground, and is never boring. The music benefits greatly from hearing the N.W.A tracks in a theatre, because it makes it feel larger and more important, and I have to give it up to the actors who portray N.W.A, because even though they're newcomers, they brought this wonderful script to life in a convincing fashion. Any flaws that exist here are slight and inconsequential.

I fucking hate rap. Nothing about this movie changed my mind. Nothing about this film made NWA more approachable to me. Nothing about this film redeemed these guys in my eyes, or made me understand where they were coming from. In fact, I had trouble following the general narrative of this movie. I don't know, maybe I'll never get it because I'm a white guy raised in small town America.

Engaging enough whilst it sticks around, but in no way exceptional or really memorable. The performances are mostly good, with the central trio of Jackson Jr, Mitchell and Hawkins holding the film together pretty much all on their own. The self congratulatory tone throughout grates somewhat, and the high levels of fan service coupled with minimal character development mean that all the main protagonists come out smelling a little too much of roses. Energetic, but nothing special.

I was hoping to learn more about the rappers' personalities and how they managed to become hip-hop icons, you know, the stuff that would make this an interesting and informing movie....But no, suddenly they are highly successful after recording one line without any practice! What follows are some who-gives-a-shit disputes about contracts and money and a lot of self-advertising by Dre and Cube.

Starts off strongly, and the director captures emotions perfectly. It is definitely a heartfelt movie with drama, humor and a great soundtrack of course but it just seems to fall short because of how rushed it seems. It does capture their careers but it just seems to move on way too fast. I'm glad this did the numbers it did but I feel like it would have been better as a mini series.

Music biopics are usually 50/50 for me; the formula often smacks so heavily of the old VH1 'Behind The Music' specials. Perhaps my expectations were a little low, but this was really fun and entertaining, even if the true nitty-gritty reality got painted over by Hollywood's giant antiseptic please-everyone brush.

When a film takes on a real life story with grit, emotion and raw power you expect nothing but straight realism. The moments created for this to appear more Hollywoodized is what stops it from becoming one of the best films of the decade and just another above average biopic. It does a phenomenal job of recreating a young N.W.A and the era they grew up in, but the omissions and changes to character structure are too big to ignore and that stops this film from being the best film of 2015

Has more energy and vision than your standard Hollywood biopic (and that soundtrack certainly doesn't hurt) but by the end it fizzles out a bit into more conventional territory. Smart and exciting throughout its lengthy runtime, but just falls a step short of biopic greatness.

Like with most biopics, truth is a lot stranger (rather more fascinating) than fiction, though apparently it is a little stretched. It might be a tad too long but the actors are fantastic and if you like the music you'll enjoy this. The thing that hit the most was that 20+ years on not much has changed in terms of racism and their message is still as relevant as ever.

In that, the movie wants to do more than simply inform us of racial inequality and persecution. It does that, certainly. But it also equates these rappers' struggle to scream out obscenities and threats with the fight for justice and civil rights. So is chanting "F--- the police!" really the moral equivalent of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech (as Jerry Heller insists to this day)? Straight Outta Compton will leave lots of people thinking that it is. (pluggedin.com)

The hip hop version of Inside Llewyn Davis. Judged perfectly by not trying to be another Boyz n the Hood socio-political melodrama. Focused on the music and the business and so much the better for it. Didn't like the celebrity look-alike contest with Snoop and Tupac towards the end. The character sanitization issues were inevitable - the film portrayed the group as a bunch of good lads in hard times, which mostly worked but perhaps made some a bit too angelic

A really strong cast and great concert cinematography are the strengths of the film. It starts out with a nice balance of Compton attitude with a Hollywood sheen, but gets a little more Hollywood and cheesy toward the end. Solid summer film and it's interesting to see these guys lionized, even if it's not a perfectly accurate historical depiction.

Rest assured you see real niggas in this and not the fake sanitized niggas Hollywood is used to pushing onto whitey mainstream. It's not perfect because key members like MC Ren were reduced to sidekick status. This film does an amazing job at capturing the pure chaos and atmosphere of that era in CA. The casting is impeccable and O'Shea Jackson Jr is great as his dad Ice Cube. This is right up there with Boyz n' the Hood/Menace II society in its hood rating. Giamatti is hilarious as Heller.

I'm a pale Canadian who doesn't listen to rap at all. 99% of the songs in this film were the first time I'd heard them -- I know! I'm that white! So I went into Straight Outta Compton with high demands: make me care! Make me care about your rapping and your gangster streets, SOC! And... well... this is one of the best films of the year. It eases into a wild and kinetic energy with only a few fleeting moments of narcissism. The acting, cinematography, editing -- all impeccable. Happily surprised!

After NWA's first record came out, Hollywood caught on and at what seemed like a monthly rate released a flurry of hood films--pictures whose stories mirrored conflicts heard in hip-hop records. So it's great that this film rivals those movies in its coming-of-age depictions of things like brotherly love or police brutality. It ambitiously squeezes in all the big hits in nearly 3 hours, yet is never boring. It does the group justice & is a fun watch for anyone familiar with the era.

F. Gary Gray comes so far out of the depths in crafting this movie of grand visuals, staging, and camerawork, that I think we can probably give a nice chunk of the credit to Matthew Libatique, Darren Aronofsky's regular cinematographer. But when you combine that DP hire with Gary's sharp and deliberate casting, I'd say that he succeeded in accomplishing what should be the primary goal of any great director: surround thyself with greatness.

Straight Outta Compton is very impressive on a technical & immersion critique. Its performances and cinematography are home runs and that alone makes the atmosphere of this project feel pretty enthralling. However, with little research, the lack of authentication and exclusion of complete character representation is somewhat disappointing, and that’s unfortunately what many of these type of projects devolve into, and while this is a very solid watch, it doesn’t reach its full potential.

While it’s a little bit rushed and overstuffed (could’ve worked great as a limited series), it’s incredibly entertaining and impactful. Everything works, from Gray’s direction, to the screenplay, and to the performances. I’m usually wishing movies tightened up their runtime, but this is one of the ones that I would’ve gladly taken a longer runtime for (apparently there is a directors cut, which I definitely plan to check out).

This could just have been called NWA: Some Stuff that Happened, as there’s no real focal point and therefore just feels like a collection of incidents from the era. The timeline jumps forward a lot to get everything in and means certain scenes are charged with emotion without any real understandable build-up, not least the finale which appears out of nowhere and then just chucks the credits in your face when it’s done. Even still, SOC is quite enjoyable for its duration and never gets boring.

I like NWA. I like Ice Cube. I like Dr. Dre. So despite being extremely skeptical about biopics, I watched the 2 1/2 hour NWA/Ice Cube/Dr. Dre origin story. It's a pretty good film for about 25 minutes, and then it slides off into biopic mediocrity. The amount of lame biopic clichés on display is ultimately exhausting though.

Although it suffers from the usual setbacks of most biopics about musicians, this film does a fantastic job of making you feel for the characters and see the world from their perspective. The performances are amazing and the entertainment value exceeds many other films in its genre.

Need to read up on the culture more before I can speak to the accuracy, but a rock-solid biopic regardless of truth. Also taught me how to pronounce Suge Knight.

Despite the 2h40m runtime it feels a bit rushed at times. Still it's a very nice biopic, soundtrack and acting too.

I really don't know much about the subject matter (not sure if that helps or hurts my experience) but this was super engaging to watch... Also, the cinematography was AMAZING. Matthew Libatique is one of the modern film photography masters.

This film really took me back, it was like seeing the other side of the coin and filled in some blanks. This movie is like a time machine, it really rolled some huge moments in my life into a few hours, with a dope ass sound track.

Straight Outta Compton is a well acted and generally interesting film that's perhaps slightly too long for the level of depth it reaches

Its important to remind people where their music came from, and it accomplishes that to an extent, but the movie itself isn't anything special.

This film had attitude. I loved it. I must admit, I have a secret love for rap, at least really excellent rap. This movie takes you down the winding path of the group N.W.A. You get to see the triumphs and pitfalls of the music industry. You get to see Paul Giamatti, the whitest guy I know, handle a group of hardcore men from Compton. Which he doesn't do a good job, plus who needs that guy anyway? I love, love and love the music in this film. It makes me want to go out and buy the soundtrack...

It's tough to make a great biopic when two of the subjects are producers of the film. It's tougher still when you have enough source material for three films, and STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON often feels rushed and overstuffed despite its 150-minute runtime. The result is an unsatisfying, sanitized Cliff's Notes version of a pop culture watershed, and the movie seems more concerned with defining the legacies of Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, and Eazy-E than in honestly telling their compelling stories.

One of the best Bio-Pics I've every seen. While it doesn't go too deep into any part of their lives it manages to touch on every part part of their lives as artists from 1986-1996 and they manage to keep it entertaining the whole time.

should have cut out the last half the film and it might have been ok.. And Ice Cube, what a fall from grace. From ghetto-journalist to how high.

The soundtrack and the performances are what shine in this overly-full bio-epic. Too much fan service and an excessively vilified Surge Knight bring the second half to mediocre territory.

Solid Oscar bait style with a subject that probably didn't appeal to Oscar voters. It's a bit of a hagiography and the editing could use some work but it's entertaining and a perspective we don't see enough of in film.

Biggest problem I had was when the film hit story beats purely for fan service, e.g. a classic track seemed to magically be created to perfection in seconds after an obligatory misstep. Aside from that, it's clearly not 100% historically accurate, but it captured the spirit of the group, their message, and the events that saw them become the most influential rap act of all time.

Mostly unconcerned with explaining anything to the uninitiated, this is a fast-paced biopic that, when it doesn't lean too far into becoming a vanity piece, is very entertaining.

Why weren't more black people nominated for Oscar's? Because they made hamfisted, tv-movie level stuff like this. Near 3 hours yet the surface is barely scratched on any of the characters, to the point MC Ren and DJ Yella might as well not have been portrayed at all. The script needed a few more edits, F. Gary Gray is a sloppy director and the film often felt like it was drifting off course. An okay but highly forgettable by the numbers biopic, nothing more.

The rise and fall of N.W.A., from their beginnings in 80s Compton to the death of Eazy E (Jason Mitchell) in 1995. A long, uneven look at how clashing personalities and money disputes brought an end to one of the most influential rap groups of all time, with some strong performances (Mitchell, Corey Hawkins as Dr. Dre) and truly vivid sequences...and a rather shaky script with decided issues in terms of characterization and focus. The good parts, ultimately, just barely outweigh the bad ones.
