Once I saw the "All Eyez On Me" movie, it was all filler but no substance. And that's why this movie bores me to death. The acting was great, though both Jamal Woolard and newcomer Demetrius Shipp, Jr.

stole the show and deliver solid performances of two of the most decorated and storytelling iconic rappers ever, 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G. I just didn't like the Jada Pinkett one in the movie because trust me, she didn't act like the star who I know and loved today.

It's just the characters that is totally messed up big time (not Biggie and 2Pac). The story... What story? It's like every 2Pac fan knows that he influences on what can happen if people doesn't change for a better life when it comes to violence, gangbangers, etc.

and showcasing that 2Pac is not your ordinary auteur of rap, but he is a definitive hero in all of us and after his career cut way too short during the controversial battle between East Coast and West Coast rappers started to turn heads and all led to one of the worst tragedies in the Hip-Hop landscape and still remains unsolved to this very day.

And that's why I lost touch with a forgettable script only if you could master the art of rap biopics if used properly in the vein of "Straight Outta Compton" (one of the most talked-about biopics of all time) remembering the good times and the bad times N.

W.A has been going through from humble beginnings, contract issues, The LA Riots of 92, Ice Cube and Dr. Dre went seperate ways and done solo careers altogether, until "Eazy-E" Wright succumb to AIDS and that's how you make a biopic that is very edgy, raw, and exquisite.

As for "All Eyez On Me," this didn't quite fit the picture. I'm also pissed off at the end of the movie where they didn't mention about 2Pac's mom and widow, Afeni Shakur, who passed away last year due to cardiac arrest at 69.

For a movie that somehow trying to reminisce the late rapper's rise to superstardom and his ability to make peace not war is very insulting. Releasing the movie to theaters just came after 2Pac's posthumous 46th Birthday and now a member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2017 is that nobody doesn't want to pay a ticket to see this movie, always listen to his music and spread the message to everyone why they still listen to 2Pac every time his messages will inspire a generation.

"All Eyez On Me" is the worst movie of 2017 (so far).
