Summary: Maybe I just can't relate...
Comment: I'd heard about this movie from EVERYBODY about how good it was and how much of a classic it was. I'm 24 years old and I didn't see it for the first time until 3 years ago. I'm pretty open to all kinds of movies, but the magic wasn't there for me with this one. Maybe I just need to see it again.

Summary: 5 star movie.
Comment: Menace II Society is a very good movie, that has it all. I would say that it's one of the best movies I have seen in a long time.

Summary: 100% average
Comment: I went into this movie expecting a little Dead Presidents-type drama and charactor development. What I got instead was a very ho-hum account of thug life. I don't know how this director managed to make drive by shootings boring, but he did it somehow. I just never felt any attachment to any of the actors to the point where I didn't give a hoot if they lived or died. The main charactor is sympathetic in one scene, then a total maniac in the next. There is never a common theme throughout the entire film, and every charactor has split personalities. The dialogue is pretty lame and the basic plot of the movie is revenge. This one is getting that one and that one's getting this one back. Just kind of juvenile and boring. I'll watch Dead Presidents again just to get this bad taste out of my mouth. If you're interested in a great thug movie with plot, dialogue, and development that's your answer to this mediocre attempt.

Summary: even if you don't like it, wait until the last scene...
Comment: ...it'll be worth it. i won't go into details, but that chilling image that the hughes brothers crafted was probably one of the best pieces of cinema i've ever seeen. even after seeing a number of times, it still gets me. having said all that though, do check out the movie for its performances, particularly larenz tate's, belivability, and overall message.
