Excellent biopic. The music industry has always taken advantage of artists, so nothing new here. Except for the sad loss of Eazy-E, it's good to know the others made out alive.

Before I watched this movie, I heard Easy E's song called "Cruising in My -64." Eric Wright (aka "Easy E") was the main reason why I watched this movie. I was wondering if it is possible to find a decent and honest music manager in…

I would classify this as a "justification film" providing an excuse for minority anger, disrespect for law enforcement, and anti-establishment types. You have to embrace gansta-rap in order to enjoy this period piece.

Straight Outta Compton is one of the best group biopics/period pieces I've ever seen. Production credits for Dr. Dre and Ice Cube, as well as having F. Gary Gray at the helm as director give this movie the depth, grit, and mainstream…

Great movie about one of the best rap groups ever formed.

Although it was entertaining and a decent amount of it was true (with dramatization), I feel as if it dragged on far too long. This movie did not need to be two and a half hours. I did feel the emotion at times, especially at the end and…

I didn't think I would like this movie as I am not a big fan of gangsta rap. I am so glad I decided to watch it. It will give you a deeper understanding of the injustices that black Americans endure. I care more about this injustice…

Great movie! Some things were left out but I assume to leave room for the next movie.

NWA is what happens when raw talent, passion, and vision come together. Straight Outta Compton is the inspiring story of five individuals who possessed those characteristics and rode a wave of success that has made them the music legends…

I definitely appreciate this story being told, but as a movie it was a bit boring near the beginning. I nearly stopped watching about halfway in, but luckily I decided to keep going and then it got a lot better

Basically it's a " made for TV movie "- if you know what I mean.

I was happy to finally see this "N.W.A." bio-pic, about ganster-rap's, dark start, in California. I recommend this to people who grew-up with gangster-rapper's of many sorts, those who enjoy learning about racial-tension between cops and…

So much hatred, violence and mistrust. Love heals, but hate sells better.

The film lags a bit at the beginning and can never shake the feel of a diorama in a natural history museum. The diorama's background fauna in the case of STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON are a lot of big booties. But once the boys of NWA strike it…

This film is fantastic, period. I'll be honest; I couldn't believe how well crafted the narrative is. I've seen my fair share of rags-to-riches stories about musicians and entertainers. They're usually interesting tales, but some are trite…

The best film that came out in 2015.

It's a bit of a fluff piece. I wish they had dug a bit deeper. Music was great, most of the actors were spot on, others not so much.

I know some things about rap. And to call this film an accurate biopic is a stretch. Chronology was changed, events were altered, and the people behind the project looked the most favorable in the end. There were attempts to name drop,…

This movie was not a great movie in my opinion, but some may like it. I think it would have been a better sell for me, if the people that it was about, was interviewed in a documentary style movie. It was not to my liking, and quite…

Agree with LauraSteinert's comment except to add that excessive police force towards minorities in some parts of our country is still rampant and too often deadly. Having watched the film, it makes more sense now on Apple's acquisition of…

Rap is crap and so is this movie. No likeable characters!

Great movie to see where the leaders of the rap world came from - and how they were all connected.

Gritty, violent, and often sad. It was too long in my opinion and I had difficulty paying attention. The music was great though. Once again, the whole coastal rap wars subject came up and you just feel like you aren't seeing or hearing the…

Subtitles are a good size, white with no background Very interesting, a little long but kept my interest. Scary but brutally honest. Would recommend.
