the script was lacking. John should have used other writers input. everything else was aight

tupac and janet's movies were already at a high point.and they were both very good actors especially janet.you obviously dont know good acting and a good movie when you see one

Janet was amazing in this movie. She also was and still is so hot!

OHH GIVE ME A BREAK,
THAT USHER SONG "JUST CALL ME A MACK" WAS MY FAVORITE SONG, AND I LIKE IT BETTER THAN ALL HIS OTHERS IN THE NEW MILLIMIUM WHICH WAS WACK, BUT I ALSO LIKED "MY WAY 1997".

Worst John Singleton movie of all time??
Clearly you have not seen
2 Fast 2 Furious

Wait
what??

If you thought this was a bad movie you seriously dont know what real acting is and what real movies are!!!

I'll place it below Baby Boy and Higher Learning, though those were awful too. Hustle and Flow was a great movie, IMO but it was directed by Craig Brewer. Not Singleton.
The Point of a Journey is not to return.

Worse Singleton movie? Therefore meaning you put this below Baby Boy, Hustle and Flow, High Learning?
Please.

Easily, this is the worse John Singleton movie of all time. It had no real message, a poor script (a litany of "F U's" between Janet and Tupac) and some pretty bad acting. I'm surprised this pathetic movie got a "5" rating.
All the world's indeed a stage and we are merely players, performers and portrayers.

How about you know what the hell you're talking about before you go running your mouth like a motor. lol
Trying to boost music star careers? This movie didnt come out in 1982. This is 1993, and Janet Jackson had just came from her highly successful 4th album ("Rhythm Nation"), why would she need a career 'boost' so to speak? Janet is an experienced actress since she was a child (with Good Times, Fame and Different Strokes) where as the movies you mentioned above [in an attempt of comparison] the stars had not. You thought this movie was called "Poetic Justice" but instead it was a love story? Oh, well, I think the title underneath that clearly indicates it was a "Street Romance" should of told you otherwise.
Also, I dont see why some people say Tupac was "so much better". Oh yes, because there was so much to his role lol Give me a break. Singleton even said himself in his commentary that 2pac just acted as himself.
Janet always smiles. And its annoying. Okay. Now I'm convinced you're on something. First of all, she's frowning and looking pissed off for about 70% of the movie, lol Second, if the scene requires you to smile, than thats what you have to do. WTF, that was a lame argument.
She resembles Michael Jackson sort of. Well I would HOPE so since he's her brother. Janet is goregeous and so beautiful in this movie, I dont know what the hell you were watching. Nobody could make doo-doo braids look so good lol (But even if you disagree, what the hell does someone not looking good have to do with the quality of the movie? That's a little shallow isnt it?) And if anyone was looking awful it was Regina King.
Speaking of which, Regina and Joe Torry we're great and so damn halarious as Iesha & Chicago. You're not supposed to take it THAT seriously. Perhaps the problem is that people are expecting too much out of it lol
AGREED

Well, it was sort of a movie trying to boost two music stars careers but failed miserably. Such as Get Rich or Die Tryin, Kazaam, and In the Mix are examples. Maybe they weren't as decent as this movie, but this movie was annoying and cheesy. Janet Jackson is such a bad actor. Tupac is mediocre, but Janet is down right awful. Her face is messed up and she always smiles and it makes me want to punch her in the face. She resembles Michael Jackson sort of. I thought this was called "Poetic Justice," but instead it was a love story.

So a hood movie cant have love?
A love movie cant be hood?
LOL.

One of the best hood movies? Watch Boyz N The Hood. That was a way better hood movie. This wasn't even a gangster movie. It was a love movie.

How does someone face not match a face of a movie actress? That doesn't really make any sense. Poetic Justice is one of the best hood movies ever made.
