Tupac Shakur was one of the most dynamic personalities to emerge in popular music in the 1990s. Unfortunately, the movie based off his life, his success, and his ultimate fate is pretty bad. It's well intended and Demetrius Shipp Jr. does such a good job playing Tupac that he is the sole redeeming thing about this long drawn out and pretty dull movie.
At two and a half hours, it more than overstays its welcome. It follows a pattern. Tupac faces an unfair or racist situation, he raps about, he feels better. That's it for over 140 minutes and it is not a fascinating means to keep audiences' interest.
