It gets surprisingly emotional after a while, which adds up to the important premise that hate has to end at some point. But what showed me that this movie is better than I thought it was at first, is that it works on so many levels; there's a message for kids, parents, politicians, artists, etc.

It doesn't matter how many times you watch it, it's still just as powerful. Singleton shows off just how skillful he is at storytelling with this amazing debut. The themes of responsibly and the struggle of day to day life are masterfully crafted.

1 / 2 directing & technical aspect 1 / 1 story 1 / 1 act I 1 / 1 act II 1 / 1 act III .5 / 1 acting .5 / 1 writing 0 / 1 originality 1 / 1 lasting ability to make you think -.5 score, +1 intense / 1 misc 7.5 / 10 This is a weird one to rate. The story was great, and it got more and more intense as the movie went on... but it was filmed like a Hallmark movie. Fishburne, Gooding, and Ice Cube were awesome as expected, but the acting was immensely lacking from everybody else. Not to mention the score sounded like it was out of some family Christmas film. There were also some horribly cheesy lines, and a lot of unnatural dialogue throughout. I think if a great director and writer remade this movie while changing as little as possible, it could be one of the best ever.

This film is very much a product of its time. It has important things to say, but sometimes it just comes out and says them instead of making them part of the story. A bit too on the nose at times.

Rick, it's the Nineties. Can't afford to be afraid of our own people anymore, man.

John Singleton really isn't my thing. I mean, the movie came out in '91 but didn't get much exposure out in the country where I grew up until it was on HBO. However "Poetic Justice" DID and when I finally came around to watching "Boyz n the Hood" I had extremely low expectations.
