Pros: Jamie Foxx, music, good direction and story line Cons: none for me
I can only surmise that it is both frightening and a privilege for an actor to be asked to portray someone so well known that almost everyone in the world is familiar with them. It would also, no doubt, be both a burden and a joy. An actors duty is to ...
Pros: This movie is perfect to learn Ray Charles' history with. Cons: it's a biopic so of course everything is dramatized
I finally was able to see the biopic “RAY” with Jamie Foxx in the lead role as the late-great Ray Charles, and let me tell you: it is most definitely a must see for every music fan and musicologist! Jamie Foxx fit the part ...
Pros: Good script,good direction,Foxx's performance - spot on! Cons: Some may find it too long.
Covering a biography of an American Icon would be easy if it were shot through rose coloured lenses and showcased during a Movie of the Week. This film portrays the real struggles in chilling reality that faced Ray Charles in his early years. No ...
Pros: Jamie Foxx is Ray Charles! Good script, able directing from Hackford Cons: None
I normally avoid watching movie biographies of celebrities and politicians; Hollywood has a tendency to take liberties with "biopics," often whitewashing pasts (The Glenn Miller Story) or exaggerating heroics (PT-109) to make the movie ...
Pros: Phenomenal cast, excellent depiction of a musical legend; brings a tear to your eye Cons: Nothing for me
Wow! I finally made it to 300 reviews. This is quite an amazing feat and it seemed only fitting that my 300th review be on this movie. I hope you enjoy! You know sometimes when a movie or song or anything seems to be getting a lot of hype ...
Pros: Excellent work on one of the most unique pioneers in American music history... Cons: Jamie Foxx wins the Oscar by default...
I'll admit that I went into this one loaded for bear, specifically Jamie Foxx. Especially after watching the Extras feature on the Collateral DVD and hearing his co-star, Jada Pinkett-Smith, ramble on about what a great mime he was (as opposed to ...
Pros: Great performances and entertaining musical sequences. Cons: Too broad in scope. Movie's script lacks conflict
Ray leaves me with one of the most unusual feelings that I've ever encountered while watching a movie. I feel like I saw a great mediocre movie. Ray, of course, is the biopic of Ray Charles, told from the time he heads out to seek fame and fortune ...
Pros: One of the best biopics ever made. Cons: Not a thing.
Over the past few months many people have hailed the movie RAY as something spectacular. Critics loved the film. It did well at the box office. And it also won Jamie Foxx the Oscar for best actor. The question is did it deserve all of this attention? ...
Pros: Foxx. The music. Cons: The finish wasn't quite right; neither was the ratio.
If you're one of those dweeby girls who is going to see this movie just for Jamie Foxx, turn around, and never read one of my reviews again. I condemn you. Anybody who goes to see a film about the great Ray Charles just for Jamie Foxx simply doesn't ...
Pros: Jamie Foxx, Well done biography, provides insight to Ray Charles Cons: seemed rushed in parts, didn't provoke an emotional response from me
When I first heard that Jamie Foxx was going to be playing the role of Ray Charles, I thought to myself that it would be interesting to see if he could pull it off. As time went by, and I learned how much work he was putting into the film, I began to ...
Pros: Jamie Foxx, and the entire cast Cons: Too long. Focuses too much on the more insidious parts of Charles' life.
If anyone ever needed a reason to see why an Academy Award for "Best Actor" was handed out, then Ray is the film to see. Jamie Foxx's portrayal of music legend Ray Charles is absolutely brilliant. Foxx has every single detail about Charles down ...
Pros: Wonderful performances, great soundtrack, great insight into Ray's life Cons: Some unanswered questions (probably deliberate though)
Ray, a biopic of singer Ray Charles, is one of the most eagerly awaited films of the year (or in the case of us Brits, the following year!), and it doesn’t disappoint. What it does do (for people like myself who have basically no knowledge of ...
Pros: Very realistic heart wrenching film. Cons: None
This is the BEST movie I've seen in a few years. I was skeptical to hear Jamie Fox ,a very talented comic, was to portray Ray Charles. I was very pleasantly surprised by the talent and dedication and seriousness that he played this part. After only ...
Pros: Ray Charles' music and accomplishments. Jaimee Foxx's acting and accomplishments. Cons: None.
This movie was just excellent. It's really a toss up between this movie and The Aviator for the Best Biopic of the year. I felt compelled to write this review prior to the Golden Globe ceremony which is this weekend to get us prepared to hear "and the ...
Pros: The music and Foxx's incredible imitation ability Cons: Ending left too many unanswered questions
The fact that Foxx is nominated for this film speaks a great deal already. I watched this movie twice in the theatre and it was well worth it the second time around. Being 24 years old, I would have never predicted that Ray Charles led such a fast and ...
Jamie Foxx stars in this biopic of legendary soul and RB singer Ray Charles. Skillfully edited and with a keen eye for period detail the narrative wea...More at Family Video
