I've heard grumblings about the Muddy Waters character portrayed by Jeffrey Wright wasn't skin tonally correct, but hey, it's only a movie! Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Read MoreSince I grew up in that era, I enjoyed the trip down memory lane. What I didnt like -- constant smoking, foul language, and difficult to follow, especially in the beginning. It was also difficult to understand the actor who played Muddy Waters. Often I would replay his lines and still not know what he said. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Beyonce's storyline might have been the only disappointment to me - since I know that Etta James has more story than was shown in this film. Overall though - it's as good as any other biopic I've seen recently. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

I like the fact that this is based on a true story - it gives a small insight into these musicians lives through the eyes of their manager.. Great singing and makes me want to download some new itunes songs! Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

I felt the actors really captured the essence of the real people. I had heard some musid and things about Muddy Waters and Little Walter. It was good to learn more about them. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

The movie was hard to follow at first and sometimes the voices went low. It just skimmed the history and exaggerated a bit to make the movie, I guess. The acting was decent but Beyonce cannot act. ... Read MoreThe movie was hard to follow at first and sometimes the voices went low. It just skimmed the history and exaggerated a bit to make the movie, I guess. The acting was decent but Beyonce cannot act. Since she's playing a singer, not much of a stretch, and not as painful.

Not worth your time. Who needs to sit through two hours of drugs, booze and swearing. I would rather listen to the music. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

My wife and I enjoyed this movie as a fictionalized rock and roll history lesson, but we could have done without the excessive profanity. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes
