Member Movie Reviews K. K. (GAMER) Reviewed on 11/13/2023... Strong start and then to slow burn and then 120X FF and a quick eject! Film legends James Earl Jones and Louis Gossett Jr. are in this if you are fans!
Movie ReviewsWhat's wrong with these people? Huey Newton | 02/03/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I find it hard to believe those pitiful less that 5-star reviews of this move. Obviously it just went over their heads. This movie is absolutely awsome!! From the opening credits with the backdrop music by the legenday soul/rock/funk band WAR to the very end when Cicily Tyson urges the youths to not screw up what had been accomplished by Daddy Johnny (James Earl Jones) this movie screams to the heart. Either those reviewers have no clue as to what it is like to struggle and live in a ghetto or they could just simply care less. Ignorant. Speaking on things they have no clue about. Anyone who wants a slice of a dream; A beautiful, poetic dream, needs to see this movie. Is it a hollywood masterpiece, filled with explosions, nudity, special effects, and glamor people? No. It is a gut-bucket, poetry, and music-laced ride that will certainly warm the African-American soul and any others who can comprhend where we are coming from." Compelling Roy Williams | College Pk, GA United States | 12/24/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Not often will you find such Great actors as Cicely Tyson, Louis Gossett, James Earl Jones, Glynn Turman ant Teddy Wilson in the same movie....A compelling story, set at the end of the Civil Rights Era, and the resulting transition of the leftover radicals..With the poetry of Langston Hughes, and a rocking soundtrack By War...This Is one of the best movies you can see..." WHERE HOPE AND DREAMS COME AT A HIGH PRICE Roy Williams | 09/21/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Starring James Earl Jones, Cicely Tyson and Louis Gossett., Jr. James Earl Jones is riveting, and Cicely Tyson is fantastic in this wonderful adaptation of the Tony award-winning play about life in the ghetto. Realistic emotions and believable characters make for an incredible and moving experience for all."
