Menace II Society

Pros: Powerful. Fairly authentic. One of the best stories ever told onscreen.
Cons: Poorly planned action sequences. What a horrible ending.

Everybody has an area of interest or expertise. For example, after I watched Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I was swept away by the romance and the magic and convinced myself that I had finally ...

Pros: great acting and directing
Cons: sometimes exploitative

There was a period during the early to mid 90's when black movie makers were making films that displayed the destructive mentality being bred by poverty and overtly disparate social conditions in low income black neighborhoods. This trend was set by the...

Pros: The greatest urban movie ever produced
Cons: --Unknown to the Human Brain--

No folks, I'm not dead. I did not get swept up in the Hurricane nor did I quit Epinions geniuses. I simply took a long-needed 1 week break from the site. Damn, it seems like everybody's either quitting, or taking breaks, and I can't seem to figure out ...

Pros: Very well-made film about a very important subject.
Cons: Very depressing.

I remember first seeing Menace II Society in the theater when I was about 14 or so. At the time I had been reading a lot about life in America's inner cities and this film was one of the most accurate depictions of the cycle of violence, drugs and irrespo ...

Pros: The greatest film of all time. Big enough pro for you?
Cons: Absolutely nothing. Nothing at all.

Now as a lot of people well know, yesterday marked the seventh anniversary of legendary gangsta rapper Tupac Shukur’s death. Now when contemplating on what product to review, my first reaction was to review one of Pac’s albums in order to ...

Pros: Everything except the cons
Cons: Choppy ending, poor soundtrack

I feel that my writing style is becoming very stale, half–hearted, and extremely boring, thus it is ready for a change. In this review I will show how the true NaSty one writes. Coming fresh off my controversial Kanye West editorial ...

Pros: Plenty of profanity and hardcore gangsters
Cons: 1 hour and 43 minutes make this film too short to fully enjoy

Pros: Non stop action
Cons: Graphic Violence, Harsh Language

Menace 2 Society has to be one of the most graphically violent movies that I have seen. Unfortunately, it is also one of my husbands favorites. With that being the case, I have watched this movie more than I care to say. Each time that I see it, I...

Pros: strong characters, good acting, intense plot
Cons: lots of profanity, violent

This was such a great film! I mean, sure, it was problematic and violent and the profanity was probably far too excessive for most people, but the point is, the Hughes brothers made a powerful film with Menace II Society. Based on its subject, there...

Pros: Action, Its hardcore thuggish
Cons: not for old people or young children

To start thing out, I saw the movie for the first time when I was about Twelve years old. I had never seen anything like that in my life. Anyway, This movie starts out around the time of the Watts Riots. They show a little footage and set the first...

Pros: Exciting, Realistic, Breath-Taking.
Cons: Too Short.

I have saw a lot of these "black" movies, as I am a huge fan of them, and I can honestly say that Menace 2 Society is the best in my mind. It tells you like it really is in the hood, and even though Boyz N The Hood may be more famous, Menace 2...
