Good Movie...really good movie...about something I don't really care all that much about. I'm a metalhead, and most metalheads barely recognize Rap as a music form. I'm not that hardcore and recognize rappers for what they are. Today's street poets.

I have heard of N.W.A., and of course Ice Cube and Dr. Dre, but not much more than that. Never really listened to any of the songs etc., but in the course of watching this movie I started to care a little more about the people and where they were coming from. I still don't like Rap mind you...but I can recommend this movie to anyone with an interest in music history.

great movie. a must see!! basically nwa history

A very fun and faithful biopic. The performances were good all around Jason Mitchell as Eazy-E definitely stole the show. I enjoyed the movie but I wish they had spent less time glorifying their protagonists and more time focusing on the social issues such as issues with the police. As it was it had a few powerful scenes showcasing police brutality, but I feel it should have focused on that more. As it was it felt like a nice biopic, but it could have been more powerful if they spent less time showing parties and more time showing issues. Overall it's fun and well acted, I enjoyed it.

Positively surprised! I can't vouch for the historical accuracy but it was a great as a film - nice shots, the right amount of humour, drama and action. The way they put in the music was brilliant and I liked the private story mixed with the political - because rap is political.

After the two excellent "8 Mile" and "Notorious B.I.G", here we go with this new movie about Dre, Cube and Eazy-E. The great soundtrack and the good acting performance make that movie really dope!

Very good movie , well acted. Story does not let up from start to finish.

An incredible biopic about one of the most influential rap groups of all time. The movie tells the story of N.W.A., their struggles, and successes, and it's a must-watch for any fan of old-school rap. Jackson's performance as Ice Cube is exceptional, and he brings his father's story to life on screen with authenticity and passion. The film's focus on the group's background and how they became successful despite the odds stacked against them is truly inspiring. It's a great movie that captures the spirit of N.W.A. and the era they represented.

Very Hollywood and polished, with the story based on true events rather than being a retelling, but still every bit as fascinating.

It's an entertainment movie but it's Dre propaganda, really.

I LOVE THIS FILM AND IT IS ESSENTIAL FOR ALL HIP HOP FANS :)

That's all I have to say really, definitely check out the directors cut when you can but the theatrical version is definitely slicker and the directors cut extends some scenes that don't need it but add some laughs and also emotion.

Absolute classic! Love the origin story. Casting, movie plot, etc. all was perfect!

The most gangsta movie of all times
If you love hip hop music you'd love this movie for sure.
Great cast ; great story and I've learned some stuff I didn't know about NWA.
I highly recommand this movie

This movie is everything that _Bohemian Rhapsody_ wasn’t

Quality film.

I thoroughly enjoyed 'Straight Outta Compton', it had me gripped all the way through. That's despite me having little to no knowledge of N.W.A, I knew of their name and of Ice Cube and Dr. Dre but basically zilch about their actual story. I couldn't comment on how true it is to history, but as a film it's fantastic.

You have great performances from O'Shea Jackson Jr., Corey Hawkins, Jason Mitchell and Paul Giamatti. Mitchell impressed me most as Eazy-E, while the casting of Jackson as Ice Cube - his father, of course - was a masterstroke. All the cast do very well, in truth.

I love how gritty the film is too, it feels real - at least as real as film can get. There is some neat cinematography in there, while the music is entwinned nicely. The pacing is almost perfect, aside from a few moments in the middle. I also rate how it all ends, in terms of the story but also with the end credits. There's heart in there.

well, this is my Christmas movie.
y'all better remember the name Dr. Dre.

Real good. (Adding extra words)

The film is almost a documentary about the history of the NWA.
I really liked it.
