My recommendation, do not pay to go see this movie at the cinema. Someone needs to pick this back up and do a movie that actually fits his legacy, I'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 can't imagine how annoyed Tupac fans are feeling that this is by far the weaker of the free. Although the acting wasn't too bad and mostly the script was shabby, I've always thought Romany Malco would be a better fit for Tupac since he has a stronger on-screen presence and more acting experience. Perhaps the next director who picks this up should remember that. It'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. People know he wasn't perfect, he was flawed, he was paranoid and he had a hot temper to go with it. One of the biggest things I noticed was that Tupac was almost too perfect. The controversial sexual assault scene did not go the way he said it went so I'm wondering how much more was fiction. It barely touches on his younger life, glosses over the main bits and moves on way too fast. They said John Singleton was trying to defame Tupac with his script, I'm starting to wonder if they lied.
