Wow, what a magnificent film!! It was really intense, engaging, emotional, and sad!! It will make you dance the whole time!! The music was so amazing!! The film did an excellent job on directing the life of James Brown aka The Godfather Of Soul!! The screenplay was outstanding!! The cast was absolutely incredible, especially Chadwick Boseman!! He gave an electric performance of James Brown and it was his best performance of his career, one of the best performances of the year and of all-time!! He deserves an Oscar nomination, or even a win!! He was that amazing!! Viola Davis also gave an Oscar worthy performance!! The director (Tate Taylor, who also directed the movie "The Help") did an excellent job and is his best film since "The Help"!! If you like James Brown, I assure you that you will not be disappointed!! If you are not a fan of Brown, than don't bother!! This is the best biography since the film "Ray"!! This is absolutely a must-see!!
