So, i didn't know it was bout the square white dude. I thought this was more about more seasoned battle rapper. I don't know kind of made me think of the great white hype. It's like a movie about Eminem but about a new white guy. Only one Eminem. Ok, only person i think is doper than Em is Lil Dickie. The acting was cheezy. This could've been a channel cbs tv series. It says 2 hours and i only got to like 25 minutes of it. I forced myself to get that far. I like Em help battle rappers get some acting time. This just wasn't strong enough. The main characters were to corny and cheesy. There's nothing hipped about this. Maybe this movie is more appealing to people that aren't minorities. It's just garbage. I give it a 3 cause 1 isn't right. 3 for all of the people that got involved. The director and light work and studio overdubs for the movie(production team). Nothing else gets any stars. This just was made to get some money but then i think. Hmmmm why would it be 2 hours long? I didn't it make it pass 20 minutes. I love Em's movie 8 mile, but this is like ppshhhhhh. Sigh Whatever. Ya'll can fake like this is hot but no no no no. Dialogue isn't strong enough. I can't explain. Watch it and you'll be putting 3 stars up too.

I wasn't overly impressed. The sound wasn't the greatest and therefore couldn't understand some of the words they were spittin'. Also a few cringe worthy moments especially near the end. If rap battling includes making fun of people with serious illnesses then it ain't for me. It was funny and super cheesy at times, which I laughed out loud at. Don't take it too serious, it's campy and fun, but not great or a 10, I've given out maybe 8-10x 10's ever.

The rapping skills are acceptable, but the movie itself is just another youtube originals failure

"My name is" Oh my goodness !! my rating for the movie was around high 6 ,, up until the last 30 minutes where i felt i'm on a crazy emotional roller coaster ,, the rapping ,, in first half it was good and steady but not that "8-mile" rap final battle level .. even though i loved the battle with "Prospek" at the beginning ,,, the rapping in the second half it was explosive, emotional and Soooo thrilling ,, i watched the whole thing with subtitle "As you do :D" and it still felt fast and connected and well rhymed bars. "That little love tap, That was real touching ... But i just murdered my own friend, so you should know that i don't feel nothing" Aside for the rapping "stressing on the last unbelievable 30 minutes" Joseph Kahn did one amazing job on the Directing !!! man the camera movement , the pauses , the monologue were just on point ,, with each zoom-in you just feel the excitement and thrill of "Adam" thinking what to say next .. In Joseph Kahn style of Directing you can see so many diversity you can even a smell a breeze of Quentin Tarantino in some close-up scenes . "I mighta lost a tooth but ... F#ck it, I just beat you for the crown". I gotta go back a little bit before going to the casting,, Eminem was in the whole thing as a producer but i actually felt some bars sees his style in some way , and i do appreciate ;) -- and not forgetting the comedy in the screenplay was high class,, and that nervousness added a lot to the drama/comedy mix. So the cast ,, first time seeing that Canadian boy Calum Worthy on anything,, but OMG !!! ,,the last couple of scenes alone just say a lot about how he will turn out to be in a couple of years, his facial expressions are out of this world ... Jackie Long was amazing too and same goes for Walter Perez and Jonathan Park (who was really funny). "Megaton vs Adam". Finally ,, the story is really good and the rapping is even better than i expected "Noting that i'm not a rapping expert and all" ,, but the last 30 minutes a lone makes watching the whole 2 hours movie 10 times worth it ... do it .. recommended.

On day six of 2018, music video and indie film director Joseph Kahn, and writer Alex Larsen (Kid Twist "King of the Dot") presents a street spoken word battle rap film that surpasses it's producer Eminem's 2002 "8 Mile". While this in-your-face, loud (sound track by Eminem ft. dr. Dre and music by Brain Mantia and Melissa Reese), fast moving and at times crude delivery in dialogue film may not be everyone's cup of tea, the performances, relevant dialogue, comedic tone, interesting special effects and the opportunity to peak into the underground world of battle rap should to be missed. Where "Hamilton" introduced history to the live stage, "Bodied" brings rap to the big screen. Enter young college caucasian grad student Adam (Disney "Austin & Ally" star Calum Worthy), smack in the middle of a competition trying to explain the language spoken within battle rap to his equally out of place girlfriend Maya (Rory Uphold - "HelLA" TV). Doing his graduate thesis on "battle rap" and the use of the "N" word, Adam knows the lingo and all the players. Quickly he befriends lead battle rapper Behem Grymm (Jackie Long "The Comebacks" 2007) who takes him on as a reluctant protege. Once in, Adam realizes he's got it in him to battle rap, combining his his smart boy eduction and historic knowledge of the craft. Making a terrific reappearance on the big screen is the mature Anthony Michael Hall ("Sixteen Candles" 1984), as Adam's well respected literary professor and father. The film is also filled by many of today's battle rappers, who also coached the films stars in the craft. This is a well made indie film, packed with comedy and drama, that will surly be a huge stepping stone for its director, writer and especially it's main stars Calum Worthy and Jackie Long. You will want to be one of the first to see this film. "Bodied" was screened at the Palm Springs International Film Festival 2018.

So as a white kid growing up in the 90s all I did was listen to rap music. I was picked on and bullied for it as it was not the 'done thing' and constantly called wigger. My passion was genuine and I embraced the culture and still do. So.... I had minimal expectations here. I was expecting 8 mile revamped. How wrong was I.... This movie touches on some really key stereotypes and misconceptions about rap in general and more importantly the appropriation of black culture. Storyline was basic but it paved the way for thought provoking dialogue and I would suggest if you don't get what I mean then this movie was not made for you. Since eminem every white kid wants to be a rapper and this is movie is a satirical take on that uneducated enthusiasm. The underlying emotion after watching this is embarrassment. For all the millennials that think they 'get it'. This movie is about race and perception masked in satirical humour. A must watch for any real rap fan.

The acting is terrible, the white nerdy kid and his girlfriend are about as obnoxious as it gets. The rap is mediocre and forgettable. Anyone giving this a 10 is fake.
