Audience Member I just saw this movie for the first time in 2025. And I must say even though the two leads are iconic stars with an accomplished director. The movie fell so flat. I must say even though I finished it because that’s just what I do the movie was garbage. No cohesion no direction to the story just a trifling drunk and a stuck up poet who you never even really get to hear the poetry outside a little snippet. It had promised but failed to deliver. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/20/25 Full Review Cecilia S Poetic Justice (1993) is a movie in my DVD collection that I recently rewatched on Tubi. The storyline follows a woman whose boyfriend was killed and she's struggling to move on. Her girlfriend invites her to join her and her boyfriend on a weekend trip that includes the boyfriend's best friend. At first the couple get along while the girlfriend and best friend fight like cats and dogs, then it becomes vice versa. A rollercoaster of scenarios and circumstances ensue where they hope to finish their trip without killing each other. This movie is directed by John Singleton (Boyz N the Hood) and stars Janet Jackson (Nutty Professor II), Tupac (Juice), Joe Torry (Tales from the Hood), Regina King (The Watchmen) and Khandi Alexander (Scandal). The Billy Zane and Lori Petty drive-in opening movie always makes me laugh. It was also awesome seeing Q-Tip and Tone Loc in this movie. The storyline itself is very smart and well told and paced. The soundtrack and poetry is excellent as is the writing and dialogue. The cast delivers perfect performances and scenarios and circumstances setup a rewarding conclusion. Overall, this is an absolute must see movie and an American cinematic classic. I would strongly recommend this movie and score it an easy 10/10. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/14/25 Full Review thiago s Filme legalzinho, o roteiro é bacana, justice é bacana como a principal do filme, o filme tem partes que são boas com um certo drama, mas isso não faz o filme ter relevância, nem com o tupac, e também o filme parece ser lento as vezes e isso deixo o filme menos legal. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/04/25 Full Review David M This movie is so boring, I only watched it cause Tupac and Janet Jackson were in it but I was disappointed, there's nothing intriguing in it, the script is so predictable and lackluster. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/20/24 Full Review Garrett P While this is a beautiful angle from the collection of John Singleton movies that capture the underprivileged black community in California, there simply isn't enough depth in the story to keep me entertained beyond the witty dialogue. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/11/23 Full Review Jaime 3 An urban love story. Full of pain and loneliness. Janet Jackson is believable as justice. It's an urban cult classic with a memorable supporting cast such as Regina King and 2Pac with lots of memorable catchphrases.
