   Is 'get on up' a good movie?

   • Magically, unexpectedly, most funkily, Get on Up feels fresh and crisp as the Godfather of Soul's keenest moves. It's stirring scattershot stuff, made with a fine eye for period detail and an evident passion for the music, which remains the driving force throughout. Get on Up is a thoroughly entertaining drama with Boseman shining at its center.

   What makes 'get on up' a good movie?

   • Watching him perform, and listening to him perfectly nail Brown’s speaking voice are the true pleasures of “Get on Up.” Playing Brown from a teenager onward (Jamarion Scott complements nicely as the younger version of Brown), Boseman is never unconvincing, even in that embarrassing opening scene.

   Is 'get on up' a good biopic?

   • A biopic that dares to put a few extra wrinkles and curves into its narrative. In Get On Up, a great deal depends on the lead actor Boseman, who ably captures something important about Brown's outer and inner being. [T]his show ultimately belongs to [Chadwick] Boseman.

   Is 'get on up' a good song?

   • Probably not, but “Get On Up” makes an admirable, fitfully successful stab at the life of the brilliant but volatile funk-soul legend who wore at least as many personalities and personas as he did nicknames and honorary titles.

   What is 'get on up' about?

   • In “Get On Up,” we have a chance to see this remarkable actor in full bloom, whether he’s giving life to Brown’s signature dance moves — the ones where it seemed as if an electrical current were passing through his body — or burrowing deep into the performer’s tortured, little-boy-lost soul.

   What is the opening scene of the James Brown biopic 'Get on up'?

   • The opening scene of the James Brown biopic “Get On Up” plays like a bad Dave Chappelle skit. Please beg my indulgence as I describe it. A woman is shown sitting on the toilet, her biological activities intercut with a drugged-out James Brown driving to an office building he owns.

   Aug 1, 2014 · Like most biopics, “Get on Up” plays like a greatest hits album of its subject’s successes and failures. A life as rich and complicated as Brown’s would require an HBO series. Here was a man who wrote civil rights anthems and suffered through a Jim Crow South, yet who considered former segregationist Strom Thurmond a grandfather figure.
