Review of Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005) by Wesley W — 14 Feb 2014

Not really as bad as critics think it is. In my opinion, the consensus isn't very good because it only says that this isn't good because it is too similar to other films and that wasn't really what the problem was here.

I like 50 cent's music but several parts of his story here just wasn't interesting enough to make us care about what was going on half of the time. The film also wasn't very memorable or rewatchable.

At first 50 Cent's acting wasn't very good but I thought he got a little better as the movie progressed. Terrence Howard gave a good performance here and he add humanity in the scenes he was in.

Therefore, this film wasn't 16% bad, it was just an average drama that had good parts, but in the end, it isn't something that you will beg to see again after it is over.
