If it weren't for the magnetic, utterly watchable central performance from a prolific Chadwick Boseman, Get On Up would be a miserly, unapologetically sterilized biopic.
With an unforgettable Chadwick Boseman in the starring role, Get On Up offers the Godfather of Soul a fittingly dynamic homage. Read Critics Reviews

Aug 1, 2014 · Reviews 1. Discussions 1. 70. Written by r96sk on October 25, 2020. A chronicle of James Brown's rise from extreme poverty to become one of the most influential musicians in history.
Get On Up is at once the most unconventional biopic I’ve ever seen, and a shaggy composite of all of them. The only real difference is James Brown – but what a difference James Brown makes. Chadwick Boseman dazzles as “The Godfather of Soul” in a performance more Oscar-worthy than Jamie Foxx’s Ray or Will Smith’s Ali.

Get on Up. In 2007, Jamie Foxx won Best Actor for his subtle performance as Ray Charles. Boseman exceeds that solid standard. Incarnating James Brown in all his ornery uniqueness, he deserves a Pulitzer, a Nobel and instant election to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
