Critics Consensus

Despite Demetrius Shipp Jr.'s fine lead performance, All Eyez on Me is mostly a surface-skimming, by-the-numbers biopic of a larger-than-life icon.

Simran Hans

Observer (UK)

Demetrius Shipp Jr bears an uncanny resemblance to Shakur but doesn't quite possess the star quality to outshine the script, which is leaden and flatly expositional.

Rated: 2/5

Its reverence and sketchiness gets between the viewer and the subject.

Kevin Maher

Times (UK)

How they managed to make a movie about a guy who went from poverty to fame to prison to fame again, before being shot five times and surviving, and then being shot four times and dying, into something as compelling as a tax return is anyone's guess.

Rated: 1/5

Mediaversity Reviews

All Eyez on Me attempts to reconcile an iconic figure with his very complex life. Its important commentary on race, however, gets overshadowed by technical problems.

Rated: C

Structurally the film has problems, but the movie finishes strong with Boom doing a good job of building some tension in the final moments leading up to the fatal Las Vegas drive-by shooting.

Rated: 3/5

It's a closer call than you might think, but All Eyez on Me sells Tupac's life short.

I like the idea of a documentary movie but this wasn’t it, especially for a name title as big as Tupac. They could’ve done better and at least made the transition scenes a little more artistic and unique to the movie director. News flash, you need more than just talented actors/actresses.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Wow. This was terrible. Seems like they spent more time trying to cast actors that looked like their real life counterpart than finding actors that can embody their persona and actually portray the person. There's better acting in video games. This movie makes Tupac look like a complete moron.
