`rudy ray moore`’dan haberdar olmamı sağlayan film.gerçekten çok yönlü özel bir karaktere sahip bir alt kültür figürüymüş.hayatını anlatan dolemite is my name, gerçekten bu yılın izlemesi en keyifli filmlerinden birisi olmuş. uzun zamandır pek sesi çıkmayan `eddie murphy` çok güzel bir oyunculuk performansı çıkarıyor.filmin görüntü yönetimi ve müzikleri dönemin atmosferini yansıtmakta oldukça başarılı olmuş.

Haven't seen a pure banger flick like this in quite awhile. Eddie Murphy will rightfully be at the center of the praise but the whole cast is euphoric.

Ed Mahogany. Murphy as Rudy Ray Moore is so likable that the film suffers from a lack meaningful conflict. The weird intrigue of Tommy Wiseau's background or Ed Wood's inner conflicts are pretty much replaced with barreling forwards. The initial battles to rise as a comedian and then comedy album star make the entire film segment feel redundant since he's been overcoming odds from the get go. Still fun to watch and great performances all around. I'd rather watch this arc than Edgar Allen Poe's.

Doesn't quite reach the atmosphere required for being great, but it's rather well written and Murphy shines in the lead.

This is what I wanted out of The Disaster Artist, it digs into the character more. This is less of a farce and more a celebration of comedians, musicians, thespians, writers, and uh, martial artists coming together to produce a cultural touchstone for Black America. Although for being a feel-good movie, it prefaces Rudy's success with a moral wrinkle that he essentially lifted his act from beggars and never *really* had to answer for that.

Super fun biopic in the vein of Ed Wood (yes I know it's the same writers). I laughed a lot and loved to see Murphy and Snipes in their purest forms. You do not need to have seen Dolemite to enjoy it but it will probably make you want to watch it after.

Eddie Murphy's still got it, as proven several times during the course of this funky biopic. On most fronts, "Dolemite Is My Name" delivers the goods, from the production value to the soundtrack - excluding Wesley Snipes' caricature of a performance and the fact that the movie seems a bit too lightweight for its own good, without the pathos and character depth that would make it compelling.

A hell of a cast spearheaded by one of Murphy’s best performances. Halfway through the film, there’s a moment when Moore has a reaction to a weathered picture while rehearsing lines for the next day. This is, unfortunately, the one semblance of character growth we’re treated to. The film is fun, but also devoid of much interesting conflict.

A funny fun biopic. The stakes never feel too high, cause most conflict gets solved instantly, but its just fun to see Eddie Murphy perfectly casted and back in his prime. The supporting casting is equally hilarious, especially Wesley Snipes, a huge surprise to me.

Fun love letter to Rudy Ray Moore and Blaxploitation films of the 70's. It's great to see Eddie Murphy and Wesley Snipes actually give a damn and acting in something like this again. It's a pity that there doesn't seem to be room for this kind of smaller film in the theaters anymore, so kudos to Netflix for providing the budget and platform for it. The screenwriters have specialized in this kind of biopics and while this is a solid addition, it doesn't reach the heights of their "Ed Wood".

With few real obstacles for Dolemite, this entertaining biopic borders on nicecore, but it's an enjoyable watch and, while Snipes tries way too hard, it's an impressive comeback for Murphy.

“Dolemite Is My Name” is the return of Eddie Murphy as Rudy Ray Moore and Dolemite. The film was written by the same two writers who wrote “Ed Wood”(1994), another good film about a terrible filmmaker who made bad movies. “Dolemite” also reminded me of the film “The Disaster Artist”(2017). This is the making of the original “Dolemite”(1975) movie and it’s fun. “Dolemite” is really funny with great acting by Murphy and a show stealing performance by Wesley Snipes.

Murphy is on fire here and it's wonderful to see him back at top form. He's ably supported by a cast that includes Keegan-Michael Key as the screenwriter, Wesley Snipes as director/co-star D'Urville Martin, Craig Robinson and Snoop Dogg. The film is written by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, who have written a few flicks about eccentric outsiders, most notably "Ed Wood". This film is an extremely filthy spiritual cousin to that masterpiece.

As noted by joel-w-m, it's a little too breezy, so much so that it keeps it from being what I'd consider "great." But that doesn't mean it's not a hell of a good time with a wonderful, inspired performance by Murphy, who is clearly in his element here. It's pretty funny as well.

This isn't gonna win any awards, but damn if I didn't have a good time throughout all of it. Essentially it's The Disaster Artist set to Blaxploitation. The cast is stacked with black actors from Murphy, Burgess, Epps, Key, Robinson, and Snipes to cameo appearances from Snoop Dogg and Chris Rock. Probably a little too conventional, but thoroughly charming none the less.

Very entertaining movie. Seeing Murphy and Snipes having fun and not phoning in a bored performance is wonderful. Probably the best Netflix movie.
