S F Malcom X directed by Spike Lee is a top tier bio pic. Great film making, style, tone. Three strong and very entertaining acts led by the incredible performance of Denzel Washington, who becomes this character. You can never look away for 3 hours it's so captivating. I am just going by what I see in the movie, not the book it was adapted from. Tomato scores from the pros and audiences at 90 which seems about right. It's a must watch for me, highly recommend. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/25/24 Full Review Jonathan G One of the best biopics I've seen. Ever. Spike Lee's "Malcolm X" is raw, triumphant, and monumental. Definitely Denzel's best role I've seen by far, and Spike's direction of this is also amazing. The 202-minute runtime never drags, and the writing in this is just phenomenal. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/24 Full Review Eugene L Absolutely riveting performance by Denzel Washington. He IS MALCOM X. Embodying his style his speech and his attitude throughout the entire movie. And what an incredible story is told in the finest and most thrilling, uplifting, hopeful, conflicting, sad ways. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/24 Full Review Alysha S 4.35. The plot moves along perfectly -- despite the film being three hours and 20 minutes long. Denzel Washington gave another strong performance. The way he projects conviction in his acting and the way X expressed conviction are similar, I imagine. And they even somewhat look like each other. The conflicts and X's story itself are intriguing. And the questions he asked are important. The costumes, lighting and shots also are strong. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/24 Full Review Alec B One of the great American epics and perhaps one of a handful of biopics where covering most of the subject's life works to its advantage. Washington gives the performance of his career here. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/10/24 Full Review Alec C Reveals the journey of Malcolm X, from hustler to hero, with empathy and a lot of emotion that leaves us gasping! We witness how Denzel channels Malcolm's inner turmoil as he experiences the evil of racism and the hypocrisy of society. By the explosive finale, we feel a piece of us die as we witness the downfall of one of histories most outspoken of leaders!
