With visuals as kinetic as its language, Joseph Kahn’s Bodied is an outrageously smart, shockingly funny satire of P.C. culture whose words gush so quickly you’ll want to see it twice.
Worthy is a marvel, transitioning from pasty wallflower to a glowering, unencumbered threat.

best movie 2018, the most fun I've had this year at a movie. Very well written and acted, the script is excellent and really pops. It feels like a movie that should have been made 10 years ago. It has class warfare, insight and amazing vivacious poetry. It articulates hypocrisy, expression censorship, prejudice all in one.
Report
Aside all its hilarious sequences
This is just excellent and inspirational af,
I did remember when eminem said that in the track "The Real Slim Shady", he said "Guess there's a Slim Shady in all of us", welp, now i know the fact everybody can be like him lol. Like Adam, nerd from Berkeley that has beaten the most paranoid man in their hip hop rap battle. Also, now i know the fact the Eminem is the most intelligent rapper at the same time as he became one of the greatest rappers of all time.

If the movie runs long in places, the vibrant performances from Worthy and the rest of the cast help push things ahead to the grand finale, and there are enough dynamo battles from start to finish to keep hungry rap fans satisfied.
Simultaneously entertaining, overwhelming, compelling, and grating, Bodied raises its hand and talks until words mean nothing and everything.
Topics such as race, poverty, masculinity and politics are tackled in thought-provoking ways. It all makes for an entertaining, if not slight, ride that proves Kahn has the chops to graduate into feature films and maybe has a genre classic in him just screaming to get out.
It’s a provocation, and for the most part, it’s an effective one. Yet for a film all about verbal and physical blows, Bodied seems to grow skittish when it comes to landing the nastiest ones, the ones that would call its own ideals into question. It’s just insightful enough to leave audiences wishing that it were more so.
What might be considered devastating or dead funny here will be highly subjective, but none of it captures the wit of producer Eminem’s “Slim Shady,” which rolls under the closing credits.
This film has alot of improvements from 8 mile. But don't mean to compare, The Producer is Eminem himself, that's why Everybody who's cast that are rappers in the film killed it.

The Performance of every rapper in the film is all time great and satirically funny!

The humor in this movie is just on another level. Joseph and Eminem are genius people.
