Overlong, overindulgent, unfocused at times, and heavy-handed. Lee has a supreme connection to this material, and the movie can be powerful, but its ability to absorb me in its world is lacking.

Boy... What were those first 45 minutes? And why turn X's contradictions into a banal hero's journey. (Really, he learns about his own ignorance because he sees a white boy in Mecca?! Give me a break.) And what is this cheesy montage doing in the end? As I said, boy. I don't know. It's kind of an achievement to turn such a fascinating figure like Malcolm X into an action figure for virtue.

In light of recent events, Spike Lee's biopic about Malcolm X rings much different. It becomes clear even in the opening minutes that Malcolm's ideals held later in life still have not been realized, but this film seeks to tear down the false image held in the minds of many Americans in an effort to portray Malcolm as a man who changed many times throughout his life and whose final stances were much more in concert with the mainstream civil rights movement than some might think.

Spike Lee is a great filmmaker. Denzel Washington delivered a phenomenal performance. The movie not only tells the story of Malcolm X, but also the history of the Nation of Islam and the history of blacks in America. Very impressive!

Like most biopics, aims to tell too much story, the price of which is superficiality of treatment. Despite a lot of dumbing down, the filmmakers still try to introduce a bit of complexity, but seem unsure of their view of the figure they are portraying. Crane shots indicate a wish for grandeur, but this director seemingly cannot avoid clunkiness. For my money, a more focused, thoughtful and intimate film on Little's prison transformation could be very interesting, but who's capable of making it?

The vibrant colors of Do the Right Thing, the melancholy coolness of Mo' Better Blues, even the intimate closeup shots of She's Gotta Have It all come together for what can only be called Spike Lee's opus. The intricately woven match cuts in the montages are some of the most powerful I've ever seen.
