Pros: An inspirational message, the cinematography and symbolism. Cons: Haven't you watched this movie before under a different title?
It took me a long time to finally see the movie Belly. I wanted to see it when it first came out, but all my friends were “sick of those urban movies.” I have never been the type who can go to the movies alone, so once the movie was out of the...
Pros: Some brilliant visuals from music video director Hype Williams Cons: Bad acting, bad writing, bad everything else
If you've seen any of Hype Williams' music videos ("California Love" and most of the Busta Rhymes and Missy Elliot catalogs), you know what kind of visual tricks you'll be in for with his film directorial debut, Belly. Some Batman...
Pros: Don't rent it and that will be your only pro Cons: unrealistic, unbelievable, boring story line and horrible acting
Let me start off by saying this movie was horrible. Did I say horrible. It gives hope to whomever has money they can just go out and make a movie. The intention of this movie was to give an insight into the drug world to attach to the thug appeal....
Pros: Good Soundtrack, . Cons: Violence , Disappearing Plot, No positive influences
Banned by the Magic Johnson Theatre's for portraying a negative image of black men, Belly is Hype Williams' (known best for his hip-hop video genius) version of a "Black Goodfellows".....
Pros: Hype Williams made it Cons: flashy, BAD acting, no plot
Hype Williams is major in the music video industry, he gives us (well he used to anyway) innovative and provocative videos that often are bigger than the songs. So when I heard he was making a movie, I thought "Wow, I've got to see it." And I...
Pros: Slick production, nice camera work Cons: The story is crap, the acting is crap
After reading some of the reviews recommending this trite, pretentious, poorly-executed piece of poo, I decided to write my own.
You may be familiar with director Hype Williams, who has directed some of the greatest hip-hop videos of the 90s. His...
Pros: cinematography was beautiful Cons: film needs subtitles because it is difficult to understand what is being said
I actually fell asleep during this movie. There is very little positive to say about this film except that the gangsta’s had nice cribs and phat cars. And: all the rap artists performing in this movie (Nasir “Nas” Jones, Earl “DMX” Simmons, Tionne...
Pros: Deep meaning behind the name Belly. Cons: The only white people are ploting to kill black people.
I have seen the movie four times and only the last time I finally understood the meaning behind a lot of killing, drugs, sex and random scenes. It is just a bunch of old friends who are stuck in the "Belly" of the Beast and the beast is the...
Pros: The commanding presence of DMX; striking visuals. Cons: A less-than-coherent story.
The feature debut of hot hip-hop music video director Hype Williams serves up what one would expect from that fact: music stars in the cast (rappers DMX, Nas, and Method Man; singers Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins of TLC, and Taral Hicks) and, most of...
This movie was more than I expected. I thought it was going to be another "Boyz in da hood" but it wasnt at all. Anyone who would put down a movie that tries to make black people better themselves by beleiving not only in themselves but in...
Pros: The storyline Cons: The ending was not that good
First off, let's understand, DMX,and Nas, are new actor's, never done anything before, and yet, these two actor's shine in this movie, along with method man,and the rest of the cast, allright to the movie, think of scarface, for the 90's, but that's not...
Pros: good plot, and videography Cons: acting wasn't great
Belly is an epic tale of two friends who grew up together, and started their life of crime together. One, NAS, wants to start a family and settle down but his friend, DMX, keeps him caught up in the crime world, until DMX has a revelation and "sees...
