This has got to be one of the best films I have ever seen. Angela Bassett is incredible-her portrayal of Tina Turner was excellent. The depth she brought to the character makes you almost forget that she is not the real Tina! Although I have always been a fan of Tina's, after seeing this movie, I walked away with a new and deeper respect for her. One of the most moving and poignant scenes for me was watching Tina walk into that hotel and ask for a room, explaining to the clerk who she was and that she had no money...Even if you don't like her or her music, you can't walk away from this film without having at least an admiration for all she has gone through. Laurence Fishburne was also an excellent Ike. Bassett deserved the Oscar for this! (Sorry, Holly Hunter.) If you haven't seen this yet, buy it, don't rent it. This is one you'll watch over again. Can't wait for the DVD!

I have watched this movie many times since it was released and I love it in so many ways, but every time I watch it, i'm really concerned about the emotional toll on the little toddlers that appear in several scenes. I have a hard time imagining that they were somehow unscathed.

Movie left me wondering... what did she do wrong to deserve that.

What's Love Got To Do With It is a gut-wrenching, excellent film that features one of the decade's most solid lead performances. Angela Bassett is excellent as Tina Turner, she does the best performance of a real life singer since Sissy Spacek won an Oscar for playing Loretta Lynn. Many think that the movie is only about Ike and Tina Turner, but it's about so much more. It's about a woman's strength to sacrifice the life she built with a man she thought she loved to save her own life. One of the best films of 1993.

This is definitely one of the better biopics i have seen. However the 'Saint Tina' mentality and occasionally soap opera quality is a little hard to swallow, and at times makes some scenes unintentionally funny. Not that it was right or OK what Tina went through, but she's made one hell of a career on the back of it. Though i'm not saying she spilled her guts for sympathy or publicity. And while it draws heavily on the 'triumph of the human spirit' i wish that some people would remember that Ike is human too, he's made mistakes just like anyone, but they just happen to have been immortalised on film. and on a lighter note i would just like to add that even in those ridiculous costumes and wigs, Laurence Fishburne looked HOT!

This is a very good movie. It expresses things that most people need help with. It helps people understand how important life is. It also gives a very good example for people to get out and to get help before it is too late. Tina really should have got out of the situation before things got that bad. But if you never seen the movie then I recommend you to watch it its a great movie, it shows you how family do you and how money is the power of almost anything in the world.
