Movie critic hatin’ on Notorious movie

 

 

Epic biography of rapper Christopher Wallace receives tough review from movie critic.

 

The Notorious movie received such highly acclaimed praise from hip hop fans that it was only a matter of time before a “professional” movie critic attempted to bring the film down to size.

 

A film review recently published on MSNBC questioned the historical accuracy of the flick by stating,

 

“The honesty of a movie diminishes when any of the subjects of the film are still alive.”

 

“Notorious,” may have one of the most stacked decks of any recent cinematic biography; two of the main figures in Wallace’s life — his mother, Voletta Wallace, and his producer, Sean Combs — aren’t just characters in the movie; they’re also producers.

 

So as you can imagine, “Notorious” presents Mrs. Wallace as hard-working, honest, courageous and loving, and Combs as driven, ambitious, intelligent and devoted.

 

I suppose we should be thankful that there’s no scene in the film that shows either of them rescuing a busload of orphans during a mudslide.”

 

 

The critic continued blasting the movie by exploiting what he considered “annoying parts” of the film.

 

“What’s most annoying about “Notorious” is that whatever bad thing that Biggie ever does gets paved over by the end of the film.

 

…the movie smooths over some of the uglier facets of the east coast-west coast feud that eventually cost both Tupac and Biggie their lives.

 

…Bassett, on the other hand, could play this kind of role in her sleep, and at times you suspect that’s just what she’s doing.

 

“Notorious” is an entertaining look at an influential artist, and many of Biggie’s fans will probably enjoy it; just keep in mind that, looking at who produced it, this movie is more infomercial than documentary”.

 

Despite some harsh criticism, Notorious did relatively well in theatres during its first weekend by raking in more than $20 million dollars.  Said one fan, “You can thank Lil Kim for that…all her drama made people want to go see it”.
