AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Catherine_Grace_Zeh THE ROSA PARKS STORY, in my opinion, is an outstanding biopic about one of the greatest civil rights leaders of all time. The performances were smashing, the soundtrack was great, and the casting was just right. Anyway, if you ask me, it was cruel that Rosa (Angela Bassett) had to give up her bus seat after a long day at work. I would probably take a stand myself if I were in her shoes. However, she managed to make something out of it. If you want to know what that something is, you'll have to see the movie. In conclusion, if you are a die-hard fan of Angela Bassett, I heartily recommend this outstanding biopic about one of the greatest civil rights leaders of all time. You're in for a real treat and a good time, so don't miss this one.
z_babygurl18 The choir in the movie sounded very good. They should get credit for all the hard work that they put into the soundtrack of the film. They traveled for hours just to make it to the set. they set and waited for long hours, voices drained, and they still managed to sound incredible. they were talked about and criticized, but they overcame all the negative comments and still did their thing. they should at least appear on the credits. they stayed up all night on a school night just to record the soundtrack. that's dedication. the central high school show choir from Tuscaloosa, Alabama should get recognition for their incredible work and their outstanding voices. Mrs. Jocqualine Richardson, the director, does a wonderful job with these young kids.
leighabc123 (Spoilers Ahead!!)Once again, Angela Bassett does a great job portraying a strong black woman! She should have won an Oscar for all of the great roles she played in! I learned a little while watching this movie. December 1, 1955 wasn't the first time Rosa Parks was put off a bus. She was put off the bus in 1941 by an evil white bus driver. She had to walk five miles in the rain to get home! Imagine if Rosa Parks' husband didn't sell his car. We would probably have another person who would be the mother of the Civil Rights movement. It was cool to see Martin Luther King Jr.'s son Dexter play MLK in this movie. His daughter Yolanda King played Rosa Parks in the movie, King.
Heather The performance of Angela Bassett and the other actors in the movie was great. They portrayed the parts of the story that most people do not know. It brought out so many emotions, I could hardly control them. Like Rosa, I'd refuse to leave my seat, rather my sofa], as well.
