You articulated my heart. I felt like I went to the theater to find a lip-synching Debra Wilson - "Mad TV" parody, with a Whitney soundtrack.
Truth!
Yep! Lol. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Or the lady on mad tv playing Whitney..it was tough to watch..
@Terris Davis you're right Mad TV.
Debra wilson could of did it bettet
Honestly, I see what you're saying about the looks. Unlike the other public figures, artists that you mentioned, whitney's looks were a major part of her stardom, talent and general appeal to society. Tina Turner, for example, her looks weren't as much of a "thing" as whitney's, which is why having someone who looks within the same category of beauty as whitney is important ALONG with superb acting.
Thanks for the review.
Yes, exactly! Thanks for watching/commenting!
I think it should’ve been a series
Possibly. Yeah, they could have taken their time that way. Thanks for watching/commenting.
Your absolutely right! They missed some highlighted moments. For example they didn’t show when she won her first Grammy award in 1986 that was pivotal moment in her career.
Yes, exactly. Thanks for watching/commenting.
Yeah they did miss some stuff but they have documentaries for that
I could tell by the previews that it was basically a notch above a lifetime film.
Yep, pretty much. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Well, it felt like a tv movie
@@wildonez3076 100%. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Me too! I was already telling people it looked like a made for tv movie. I didn't want to be right, I wanted to like it, I really did. It was also so rushed.
I think when it comes to biopics of icons, they have to cast phenomenal, very accomplished actors. Ie Denzel as Malcom x, Angela as Tina. You need someone who can hit a performance out the park.. no matter what they look like. If their acting is excellent, u won't even notice the looks
100% Thanks for watching/commenting!
I have seen the movie, and Naomi did win me over. She really did study Whitneys mannerisms and body language. She did her best and i think it did not look bad. The movie was amazing and brought me to tears so many times. However i agree that they could have shown more details and meaningful moments of her career.
Hey, I hear you. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching/commenting. Appreciated!
I haven’t seen the movie. Whitney Houston was an anomaly. She broke the mold. Her well deserved status had several components at play. When I heard they were doing a biopic, my initial concern was whether I’d witness all of the components on screen without it feeling like a parody or cosplay.
For example, would I’d be convinced that they’d accurately capture Whitney’s stunning looks (absolutely gorgeous & modelesque from head to toe…those eyes, that smile….), multifaceted personality (confidence, wittiness, humor, mystique, elegance, charisma, kindness, hood/around the way girl/woman, etc), and mannerisms (mesmerizing stage presence). I wanted to see that “it” factor / global star quality Whitney possessed.
I also hoped we’d learn new details about her life. Such as her perspective on her music & work ethic that led to being the greatest singer of all time. Inside details that not only humanized her (what was she like aside from being an artist), but also gave us a greater glimpse of her genius as a vocalist…a premier vocalist…the VOICE.
AND - I was hoping we’d experience unheard versions of familiar music from the 80s and 90s (even later), or audio from performances or tracks previously unseen or unreleased. AND I wanted an answer to why 80s Whitney or early 90s Whitney didn’t record a Christmas album! 😤 (that always bothered me, lol.).
Nonetheless, IF I go see the biopic, the motivation will be hearing Whitney’s voice in the theater again (i.e The Bodyguard, The Whitney Doc, etc). Hearing her voice on that audio system is RIVETING.
Thanks for the review, bruh! 💪🏽
Yeah man, I was hoping for much more myself. And yes, one of the only things that made the theater viewing worthy was hearing Whitney's voice in the system. As I mention though, really just had me waiting to get home to listen to and watch her videos! Thanks for watching/commenting. Appreciated!
I agree with you with regard to Whitney being so iconic that much more attention and care should have been taken on a biopic. Everything they've done on her life has been very underwhelming. I really hope that someone gets it right.
Yes, let's hope one day they do her justice and make a memorable film. Thanks for watching/commenting!
@@THATGUYTALKSMOVIES you're welcome and I subscribed to your channel.
I totally agree that the fact that she looks nothing like Whitney was a horrible casting to choice.
Yeah, pretty much. Maybe they were in a rush. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Definitely seems like an impersonation
Very much so. Thanks for watching/commenting!
They definitely needed to do more cast searching for this role. Whitney had one of the most beautiful faces I’ve ever seen. Although the acting was okay, her character wasn’t even close to capturing her essence. The person for the role would have to capture those breathtaking closeups and her beautiful feisty spirit!
Exactly. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Whitney Houston was one of the most beautiful people in world. They definitely needed to cast someone with model looks. The one's who played Clive and her mom were spot on.
Exactly! Thanks for watching/commenting!
I already know this is not the movie. Thank you
I hear you. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Whitney Houston was a beautiful Black American woman with amazing voice, her smile light up the room and she was an actress. RIP 🌹 Sister Whitney
100%! Thanks for watching/commenting.
Yes I Am Still Missing My Dear Sweet Angel Mama Whitney Houston 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Yes, yes! Thanks for watching/commenting.
The chronology, timing of it all was OFF! As a HUGE Whitney fan knowing her career inside out. From hair,makeup wardrobe to certain LIVE performances were Mish moshed into wrong eras of Whitney's illustrious career. Examples when they showed Whitney recording How will I know video then jumped to first hearing Whitney singing you give good love on the radio...her recording Where do broken hearts go for the Debut album....Her IYBT wardrobe performing in My love is your love era...just a few instances that was completely confusing and extremely frustrating. Naomi didn't look like Whitney, but she did encapsulate her mannerisms, Whitney's demeanor. I agree the script was not fleshed out enough to really capture Whitney's essence. I was just glad to hear Whitneys voice blasting through the theatre speaker. The crowd I watched with was hyped when she performed the AMA performance at the end. It's the closest thing to a live Whitney experience I'll ever encounter and for that alone, I'd go see it again!
Yes, the chronology was all off. 100%! Thanks for watching/commenting!
You do know the first cut was FOUR HOURS right ? They had to cut a LOT
@@luckylanksy363 Well, thank goodness they cut it.
I agree with your review.
Can you imagine if they did an Alicia Keys biopic and they overlooked her aesthetics? And you had her fans saying "..it's OK she doesn't look like her, but she's embodying her...", "....it's OK she doesn't look like her, but she sounds like her...", when Alicia like Whitney is RENOWNED for her looks AND talent?! Come on now! I'd be looking at those fans sidewards.
Oh wow, yep. Good comparison. Thanks for watching/commenting!
This will hit streaming in less than a month.
Yep. I should have waited. Thanks for watching/commenting.
I really hope it comes out on Netflix very soon! Thanks for your movie review! I’m not able to go to the movie theatre bc of health issues.
I grew up listening to Whitney’s amazing voice and music! ❤️❤️❤️
@@anitakos1375 Hey, yeah I'm sure it will be streaming soon enough. Hope you're well. Wishing you all the best. Thanks for watching/commenting!
@@THATGUYTALKSMOVIES Thanks so much for your kindness! 💕 take care
I seen it and will see it again soon and yes i did cry several times😥
I hear you. Thanks for watching/commenting.
Amazing movie. A must watch
Thanks for watching/commenting!
This is Gonna b so Informative🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Monday😀….
You Are So On Point with everything you said💯🧨🔥👏🏾✊🏽
Appreciated. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Totally felt the same way, I thought to myself, how can it be this long but this rushed! Every time I would be glad that they were getting to something I was excited about, and they would rush right over it.
Exactly. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Yesss you read my mind
Thank you very much for this great review! I feel the urge to add two things. I was missing the love that Whitney was oozing, when watching the documentaries on her. Just look at the very last scene in ‚Can I be me‘ when she sits in a car, first she has her eyes closed then she opens them and gives us a smile. It was like saying, I love you all❤️
When I went to see the movie, I didn‘t know that Whitney was singing, and I was thinking, in the middle range Naomi sounded like Whitney, but those beautiful high notes didn‘t sound like her. Then I learned it was Whitney singing, so I went to see the movie once more. But still I had the feeling something was not right. I only learned yesterday that they were doing remixes. I was disappointed about that. Anyway, I am happy that we are reminded about Whitney’s amazing legacy, and being inspired to listen to her angelic voice 🎼🎙❤️
Yes, definitely feel you on this. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Nice video! I like how you talk.
Thanks. Appreciated. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Narada Michael Walden produced the song, "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" as well as "How Will I Know". Some of his best anecdotes of Whitney's brilliance in the studio was simply left out of the biopic. Side eyes....
Yeah, it is what is. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Your review is spot on, brother! My sentiments exactly.
Appreciated! Thanks for watching/commenting!
Agreed!
Whitney deserved better than this.
We’re gonna need someone to come in and do her justice.
Exactly! Thanks for watching/commenting!
I always say that most of us saw Whitney's rise and fall in real time and we can see her most iconic performances, award show appearances, and interviews right on UA-cam. It's not like 1972 when Diana Ross played Billie Holiday and a lot of people didn't know a lot about Billie and you couldn't just look at UA-cam to see Billie, so a lot of people didn't know that Diana was so different from Billie. It's really time to stop it with the Whitney movies for a long, long time.
Exactly! Thanks for watching/commenting!
Totally agree 👍
Thanks for watching/commenting!
I really liked it and glad I went this cinema to watch but I never thought to deep about it, so if you want to watch on the big screen DO IT
I hear you. Thanks for watching/commenting.
The movie reminded me how sad it was that everyone expected 40-something Whitney to be 20-something Whitney, rather than accept her new voice as the voice of a woman who had grown, and hurt, and changed over time, like the scars on a lion's face. It was still a beautiful voice but she was accused of ruining it, as though she had damaged a piece of public property.
Not even Whitney Houston could live up to Whitney Houston. Might she have lived without that pressure?
Overall, I liked the movie. It didn't venture to speculate on her inner turmoil, which after Blonde I actually appreciate. It simply told the story as it played out, non-judgmentally and with appropriate sensitivity.
As to whether it should have been in cinemas, hey, some of us are happy for a movie we can bring our mothers to.
I remember Whitney’s I guess final TV appearance on Dancing With the Stars, and she was a sad mess, because her vocals sounded so terrible. Then the world saw her final performance at that pre-Grammy party shown on social media. I haven’t seen this movie yet, because I want to hear what people think about the movie.
Naomi looks more like Brandy than Whitney.
Agreed. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Diana Ross didn’t look anything like Billie Holiday, but she captured the role brilliantly. Paula Patton favors Whitney.
Exactly. Thanks for watching/commenting!
I am 55 yrs old and was in my late teens when Whitney Houston came on the scene in 1985 (actually I knew her already since 1983 from duets she did with Teddy Pendergrass and Jermaine Jackson and TV spots she did on one of my favorite soap operas) I was and still am obsessed with her. To be fair Naomi Ackie is a pretty woman and got many of Whitney's mannerisms down when she mimed the live performances. However I am sorry - all I kept thinking was how much more stunning it would have been with a young woman who was as statuesque, slender, and willowy like the real Whitney was. Whitney was NOT a big ass, thick thighed girl. She was slender with long willowy arms and legs. A tiny waist and a beautiful apple shaped, curvy, yet slim ass. Look at her gorgeous slim, perky bottom in these tight pants in this video: ua-cam.com/video/SkdMFmBsHgE/v-deo.html And also that gorgeous face - she had delicate features, high cheekbones, oval shaped face, gorgeous mouth with pouty, full lips - not fat lips. Go watch "You Give Good Love" video to see that gorgeous face and mouth I am talking about!! ua-cam.com/video/dY7PmX6Oz58/v-deo.html I cannot help but be very partial to the real Whitney's true beauty because I was there when she first captured the world. You have to understand - Whitney Houston was a once in a lifetime or generation talent. Lots of beautiful women sing - but not like that - and a lot of the women that can sing DO NOT look like a supermodel. But Whitney was the jackpot - a gorgeous young woman who can blow the roof off with that angelic, clear, sweet as honey voice. That is why she was so magical - She did have it all. Sadly Naomi Ackie did not. But she tried her best.
Very true! Indeed. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Hey👏🏾 It’s nice to see you posting again ❤ Welcome Back!
Naomi is gorgeous too she just doesn’t look like Whitney, she looks more like Heather Headley. I think they should have gotten actress Shannon Thornton to play her.
yes she resembles Whitney
Good point. Thanks for watching/commenting!
I completely agree. And this is not at all an insult to Naomi because I think she is pretty. But Whitney was stunning. So I wish they would had went with some other black actress with stunning looks. And that is important because Whitney's looks was part of her appeal. Naomi, to me, looks so much like the singer Brandy that it's crazy. I can see her doing a Brandy biopic and hitting that role. As a matter of fact, when I first saw the trailer, I thought it was actually Brandy. The resemblance is uncanny.
Plus from the trailers, I didn't see that she really had the essence of Whitney. Her voice wasn't bad, but everything else about her I don't think there was much there.
Yes, she definitely favors Brandy! I agree 100! Thanks for watching/commenting!
I’d say that Naomi is beautiful in her own right. I think it is more about the script and details missing. She was given this script and had to work with it. I feel they could have added more details and nuances to the story and recreated more memorable memories of Whitney like an Arsenio appearance, her close friendship with BeBe & Cece, more details about the massive movies she was in.. her loving on newer generation artists like Brandy and Monica - which all speaks to her spirit and who SHE was versus just the highlights.
Yeah, absolutely. Naomi is beautiful on her own. Definitely a bad script. Thanks for watching/commenting!
The first cut of the movie was 4 hours, The studio got involved and Kasi Lemons didn't have FINAL CUT
@@luckylanksy363 I can't imagine 4 hours worth. And whomever had final cut, made a true mess of a movie overall. Thanks for watching/commenting.
Thank you for speaking facts about the miscasting of Naomi.
This review was more honest than anything else I’ve seen!
Most appreciated. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Naomi looks more like brandy.
Yes, she does. Thanks for watching/commenting!
I totally agree 💯👍 with what your saying
Appreciated. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@THATGUYTALKSMOVIES Your welcome
You look like Shemar Moore.
Lol. Used to hear that way back in the day. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Exactly what I said she did not Capture the essence of Whitney Houston And her features were over exaggerated Whitney Houston had very keen features she was beautiful
Naomi Ackie is an immigrant. That's why she didn't do well in Whitney Houston Bio. They should have picked Brandy. Brandy is a black American citizen, singer and a actress and everyone know her. Naomi Ackie is unknown actress.
Naomi killed it
@@luckylanksy363 : no
I saw this film and was very much looking forward to it as I am a huge Whitney fan. I left feeling somewhat disappointed overall. I thought the casting was awful for most of the characters and I don’t think Whitney’s story was told as well as it could have been. Avatar runs for 3 hours so why couldn’t this film considering Whitney was a true icon and we are unlikely to see another great artist like her in our lifetime. She was a truly gifted, talented, beautiful lady ❤
I love the film!!!
I hear you. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching/commenting!
I agree 💯
Appreciated. Thanks for watching/commenting!
I appreciate your review... new subscriber
Many thanks man. Appreciated! Thanks for watching/commenting/subscribing!
My guy 100%!!!!!!
Appreciated!! Thanks for watching/commenting!
Loved the Movie! Loved Naomi!
I hear you. Thanks for watching/commenting!
I think Naomi looks more like Debra Wilson from Mad TV than Whitney Houston.
We needed something as "The Crown". Early days, 80s, 90s and 2000s... Three seasons! As for someone stunning, I'm sorry but I don't think there is someone that can appear on a stage with her pajamas and still get a standing ovation... That belongs only to WH.
Exactly! Thanks for watching/commenting!
Hard to find a good review on this movie. Great job!
Yeah, is what it is. Thank you! Thanks for watching/commenting!
I went to the theater to see it as well and I was so disappointed...
Same here. Thanks for watching/commenting!
I loved it. In order to respect her legacy, the movie can't dive too much in to things that could not be proved. Naomi was great.
Glad you liked it. I hear you. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Say it louder what he said exactly word for word is exactly how I felt about the I Wanna Dance With Somebody film 🎥
Appreciated man. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Your review was so point on...
Naomi looks like Brandy!
My opinion, they should of gone with Deborah Cox, almost the same likeness , slender body frame and height, Deborah sounds so much like Whitney and she's done her music before and Deborah Cox is a pretty woman. My opinion!🤔
I hear you. Yeah, wow, Deborah Cox could have easily been a better choice. Good point. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Oh yeah! Deborah Cox, can also act. I think this was a money grab, continuing to exploit Ms. Whitney Houston. My opinion!
Naomi looked like Brandy at some angles. She looks more like back in the day Stephanie Mills. Especially the lower half of her face.
@@Nah.ImCool Pretty much, yes! Thanks for watching/commenting!
The Bobby Brown character was actually good casting if they’d picked the right Whitney.
Negative Ashton WAS WRONG FOR BOBBY
I thought the only characters that resembled the actors were Clive Davis and possibly Robyn Crawford. Very disappointing casting in my opinion.
I agree with it being rushed. I wish they showed more of a breakdown with Whitney’s big awards and performances besides the AMA’s where she had to overcome something and control the crowd like @ Nelson Mandela's 70th Birthday Celebration (1988), A Benefit Concert for The United Negro College Fund (1988), That's What Friends Are For: AIDS Benefit Concert (1990), Welcome Home Heroes with Whitney Houston (1991) and Classic Whitney: Live from Washington, D.C. (1997) Maybe showed her baptism in the other country showing more of her religious background. Kinda like in Selena. Why on earth would they cast Naomi to play Whitney? Her looks alone played a HUGE part of her startup being a model and the 1st brown girl to grace the cover of Seventeen. Was that even mentioned in the movie? Whitney was a sculpted tiny girl in the 80’s and early 90’s before she became plus size before she passed. I currently reside in Newark, NJ where Whitney is from and there are so many girls who look like her and can actually hold a note. Someone else could’ve captured the Whitney isms if that makes sense. Naomi wasn’t terrible but I wanted more. However, singing home did make me cry because Naomi did give Whitney especially singing over her vocals. I liked the movie but didn’t LOVE it.
Yeah, absolutely. I hear you on all of that! Thanks for watching/commenting!
Agreed! Thanks for watching/commenting!
They should have used a Black American actress. They keep bringing in British actors to play our icons and it falls flat. They are researching the people, but they don’t have the connection.
Yeah, I hear you. Thanks for watching/commenting!
YES … I saw it last night and said the same thing . Naomi is a nice lady but to play Whitney Houston … No …. I left disgusted at that alone .. I am a huge Whitney fan … I was upset at who ever casted Naomi
Girl shut up
I think they just just didn’t choose the right scenes to cut and put together because some of the scenes went off and pasted at wrong times….like why we get 15 minute scene of people throwing stuff but only 15 seconds regarding Whitney pregnancy
Yeah, poor editing was definitely an issue as well. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Well, never seen it but to support a black film maker would be the only reason I would go see the movie but just off the appearance of the actress and I didn't really feel anything but I heard many things from viewers that it was a cash grab and what support that is the main character being a foreign actor which foreign actors are cheaper to higher so their better on the budget but if their a good actor/actress maybe they can ad some depth to who they portray and be a great money grab or Oscar contender so thought your review was very honest and keep doing what you do friend and be the best at what you do.
Yeah, it is what it is. Appreciated Jamie. Thanks for watching/commenting!
I’ve been a fan since the 80’s when I was a little girl, and I was around to see Whitney’s growth, and I feelthe movie was rushed and they just skimmed over random parts of her life. This was not what I was expecting, and why on Earth would they cast a British actress to play an American woman!? No wonder she couldn’t pull it off.
They should make a 25 season series of Whitney’s life where they cover every era of her life, that don’t only include all important milestone music and moments and interviews/ performances that we already know and have seen before, but show us something that we never knew before, more behind the scene moments as well. We didn’t learn anything new with this movie.
They need to actually cast someone who resembles her more (I mean I know it’s hard to find another who is as beautiful as her, but they never even come close). A woman who carries herself the same way Whitney did, who can capture Whitney’s essence and embody the true spirit, persona/personality, characteristics, mannerisms, speaking voice as her.
Whitney had more class and was more articulate than they portrayed her in this movie. Plus Naomi over-acted, at times it just seemed like a parody of Whitney. 🙄 And what I also noticed that Naomi’s legs were too thick wearing those leggings, Whitney was much thinner (in a good way). And the guy who played Bobby Brown looked like a stick figure compared to the real Bobby. The cast was all wrong. The only thing I liked about the movie was how they used Whitney’s real voice for the live performances. The only voice who came close to sounding like her was when they used the vocals of Debra Cox in the 2015 “ Whitney” movie that Angela Basset directed.
Wow, yeah, you make a whole lot of great points. Thanks for watching/commenting!
although i haven’t watch it, but totally agree with the points especially the presence of whitney is has to be top , obviously those who decide the casting of whitney, not a fan like us… we know every details and depth of her from speaking to singing
Exactly. Give it a watch once it's available on streaming. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Well the guy on the Hulu series didn't look like Mike Tyson but it was excellent.
I hear you. Thanks for watching/commenting!
I think the script let it down
100%. Definitely part of the problem. Thanks for watching/commenting!
I'm Going To Support The Movie I Wanna Dance With Somebody.
I agree, i saw the movie and was disappointed! Never really felt I was watching Whitney. Movie had no emotion for me. Naomi didn’t do a good job at playing Whitney, i was relieved at the end when actual footage of Whitney was shown.
Yeah, very unfortunate. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Merry Christmas 🎄🤶🏾🧑🏾🎄🎅🏾🦌⛄❄️🥶
Merry Christmas! Thank you! And Happy New Year! Thanks for watching/commenting!
Saw the movie and there’s too many big events to narrow down into one movie. It felt like the more I saw, the less importance or value each moment and event got. The 80s, early 90s, late 90s, 2000s all could’ve been their own movies.
Very true! Thanks for watching/commenting!
Lets' be honest. Naomi is not beautiful enough to play Whitney. Whitney was known for her beauty as much as her talent. It's the elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about.
Let's be honest you don't have a man
@@luckylanksy363 Oh my god. What should I do? I don't have a man! How will I ever survive!
@@tradingguy1004 Whitney dragged In Living Color for having Kim Wayans portray her. Whitney did not want ugly women portraying her.
@@tradingguy1004 lol you do not know Whitney. She would agree.
Um...that's what everyone is talking about. They are saying that she's less attractive than Whitney. 😒
I agree , In this tape of movies you need to ether have good voce or have a similar looks . We all know when it was Whitney and when it wasn't . Sad
Absolutely! Thanks for watching/commenting!
God you people are all ridiculous. It is a movie. Naomi did a phenomenal job portaying Whitney. Seriously…
I haven’t seen it yet but I do plan on going to the movie theater and seeing it I might go see it on New Year’s Eve weekend with my best friend and I think it looks very good and I hope it is better than the movie about her that they had on lifetime in 2015 I didn’t think that biography was very good I thought that the woman who played Whitney in that movie on lifetime I didn’t think she was very good at all and she didn’t look anything like her and also they focused more on her drug addiction then they did her music career but this movie looks like they focus more on her music career then on drug addiction
Hope you enjoy. Thanks for watching/commenting!
THIS WAS JUST ANOTHER PAT HOUSTON CHECK!!!! Oh, And Clive too👎🏾💯
No Shade To Naomi... Just Keeping It Real.
YA-YA Was The Closest To Whitney For Me Out Of All 100,000 Whitney Biopics Out Now Telling The Same Exact Storyline.
Let Whitney Houston REST IN PEACE!!!
I hear you! Thanks for watching/commenting!
Whitney Houston will always be known for breaking the mold. She's like Frank Sinatra(SHE DID IT HER WAY.) Vacate all the negative and give Whitney home style to her. Praise the talent. She didn't play with the craft.
Yep, Whitney most certainly broke the mold! Thanks for watching/commenting!
I would tend to agree with this review. I am a big fan of Whitney and would have liked to seen an actress who looked more like Whitney then Naomi and as was mentioned in this review, had to do with casting. I did like Tamara's and Stanley's performance. I would have liked them to go in to more depth with her drug use and marriage to Bobby. The movie was basically a highlight of her more well known hits/performances which you could watch on Netflix. Naomi's performance and the movie wasn't bad, but I would not say it was not great. I just was wanting to see a more of a in depth movie of Whitney's life instead of a highlight of some of her performances with fillers in between.
Yes, pretty much. Thanks for watching and commenting! Appreciated!
To me it was a great movie 🎥 I just watched it however, I understand what you mean also it was pg-13!so my kids wanted to see it so they couldn’t show juicy parts in her personal life.
I hear you. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Most of Them scenes with Whitney and Bobby were made up
Yeah, they seemed very contrived for the sake of it. Thanks for watching/commenting!
A lot of those scenes were fake.
I saw an interview with Clive Davis he said they saw 1000's of girls! BUT! naomi ackie's screen test was amazing! so coming from someone that knew Whitney Houston most of her life and been around her, they must have saw something in this girl that she could pull this off. I haven't seen it yet, but I already know they didn't tell the real real true stories.
Yeah, well, casting is tricky and I'm sure Clive didn't exactly have full control over that decision, in spite of his input. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Sure. It's also possible that he slept with her or something. You don't know what went on regardless of what he said. Just seeing the trailer, no. Remy Malek also no. These biopics are just being made now to boost the sales of the songs, it's not about the artist which is why the movies are just so shallow.
Finally! Somebody tells it like it is! I wish they stopped this lame attempts to make movies about the unique Whitney. Just stop everybody! Whitney was one of a kind. Just enjoy her music and respect the fact that she is gone. I miss her so much!
Appreciated! Thanks for watching/commenting!
It's like a made for tv movie, it was okay, I thought it would be better.
Same here. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Who is receiving the profit? Who am I supporting because she left behind none, I love Whitney absolutely! But something in me said no-go..... Who is telling her story!?
I hear you. Thanks for watching/commenting!
At 6 minutes Rami Malek didn,t look anything at all like Freddie Mercury with being of shorter height and having bigger eyes with the eyes being of a blue colour. Freddie Mercury had somewhat slanted eyes.That is my take.
Yeah, it wasn't perfect for sure. I always thought Sasha Baron Cohen would have been better. (almost happened.) Thanks for watching/commenting.
@@THATGUYTALKSMOVIES That being said Rami Malek wasn,t bad at acting and imitating Freddie Mercury at all. I am not sure Sacha Baron Cohen does serious acting , he seems to do comedy even in les miserables.
It was enough we have already seen enough drama on public display
I hear you. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Ol girl didnt even have the upper lip sweat
All I can say is people that comment about how bad she was one can’t sing and two need to stop talking about how bad it was
I hear you. Thanks for watching/commenting.
I just saw the movie at home and I was totally disappointed 🤦🏽♀️
Glad you didn't pay for it. lol. Thanks for watching/commenting!
I went to see the movie and it was WONDERFUL
I hear you. Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching/commenting!
These immigrants came over to America and playing our talent sisters and brothers in the movies and messing up just like Whitney Houston bio, Harriet Tubman bio, Aretha Franklin bio played by Cynthia Enviro and the Black American producers and a directors in Hollywood had to do it over again and Fred Hampton. Don't forget Will Smith played in Movie Emancipation with an accent. The movie Emancipation was about a black American man named Peter who was an enslaved at Louisiana in 1863 and was whipped by Gordon. Black Americans didn't have an accent in 1800s, the African accent was gone. Slaves beginning in America 1776 until 1865. In 1863, black American men went to civil war and won 1863. That's when black Americans were freed only in Texas in 1863.
Diana Ross and Billie Holiday
Great movie 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
2 definite favorites of mine for sure! And, my true favorite....Ella Fitzgerald!!! Thanks for watching/commenting.
This was a great film idk what y’all problem is. There is no way you can fully capture the elegance and poise of a person like Whitney Houston. Naomi Ackie did an excellent job
I agree.
I hear you. Thanks for watching/commenting!
I went to the movie theater to see this as well. Ashton Sanders did not do a good job as Bobby Brown.
Yeah, not at all. Thanks for watching/commenting!
This movie was great
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching/commenting!
The biopic was definitely rushed missing a broader picture of her life/career.
When I first saw the previews and the casting, I was definitely disappointed, but she won me over. She did fairly well with the mannerisms. As a fan, I'm not sure anyone could have come close to the true Whitney. Personally, I didn't want someone singing her songs; I appreciated the lip syncing. Now, The casting for Bobby B was AWFUL!
Yeah, some poor casting indeed. Thanks for watching/commenting!
rami malek as mercury was AWFUL
