Posted: 1/31/2009A review of Cadillac Records by Overtshrug55
I object to people picking at acting deficiencies and such in the face of such an important subject that rarely is spoken of or dealt with. Let's face it: This is where rock 'n roll started, and familiarity with some of this astonishing talent can only enrich a music lover's life. Penny-ante criticism, while approrpiate in many mainstream "award-winning" films, has no place here. This is good stuff.

I really enjoyed the movie...Beyonce' did an excellent job, I'm very happy for her. Don't listen to the credits see the movie for yourself.

I'm so glad my brother suggested that I see this movie. If you really want to be entertained by a great story and some tremendously powerful acting see this movie. Anyone that gives this movie a less than above average rating has something other than the movie playing into their opinion. Seriously it's a sad fact that this movie will not receive the viewership it deserves because of some old American sensitivities. Pahleese, get over it and give credit where it is due. THIS IS A VERY GOOD MOVIE

Posted: 12/11/2008A review of Cadillac Records by 2LEGIT2QUIT5
From the moment I sat in the theatre I couldn't wait to see this film...then it started and my jaw dropped. Why? Because this movie is terrible. The director is trying to cram 3 or 4 life stories into 2 hours and it was all over the place. I had more questions than answers and the movie was extremely rushed. With caliber actors as Jeff Wright and Adrian Brody, I wasn't upset with their acting but with the script and the fact that they signed on to portray Waters and Chess...but we are in a recession. Beyonce...all I can say is some musicians have true acting talent...she would not fall into that category. She was Beyonce with a foul mouth and a bad wig. This movie needs to be revamped and the fact that the final cut was what was sent to movie theatres should have the director hanging their head in shame. Great actors - Beyonce + bad script does not = OSCAR. "Beyonce needs an OSCAR for playing Etta James", come on. I can sing "At Last" does that mean I should get an Oscar too?

Your critic is out of sync with reality. This movie was thoroughly entertaining from beginning to end. First, it was a great history lesson highlighting Blues, Rock N Roll, legends, as well as sharing a little of the 50's, 60's and early 70's Chicago lifestyle and eras. Each actor did a marvelous job portraying their characters. Cudos to all of them, their performances took you right there. Bravo to: Adrian Brody as Leonard, Jeffrey as Muddy, Columbus as Little Walter, Mos Def and Chuck Berry, Howling Wolf character, and Beyonce as Etta James, even Cedric the entertainer as narrator explained the story. Everyone I know that saw this movie absolutely loved it. I wouldn't mind seeing it again and highly recommend it to music lovers and nostalgia lovers. Great Show!!!

Posted: 12/7/2008A review of Cadillac Records by MsPraise66
I think this is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. I was really impressed with the movie overall and really enjoyed learning the history of this era. This is one of those movies that I'd actually go see twice and would definitely recommend it to my family and friends. I thought Beyonce's role was played well also and what I enjoyed most is she wasn't in the movie the entire time (yeah). This movie is a must see.

Very good movie. At least 4 stars. Good Performance. Adult scenes maybe too much for some... and they seem to love showing guns tucked in pants (era thing- I guess). MSN should consider selecting critics that can relate to the movie.

This movie is pure entertainment, it could have been longer, certainly the material was there but Cedric the entertainer was the voice over and simply told you what you were seeing. Mos Def is so talented and apppeared too briefly, he has a sense of humor, irony that reflected the changes that were coming. Again Beyonce is candidate for an academy award, she can sing and act. I recommend it if you want to be thoroughly entertained. An excellent show that was very much enjoyed.
