Amazon.com essential video:
Tina Turner, that dynamic diva of pop/soul/R&B from the '60s to the '90s, sings like a woman whose life story is every bit as rough and tough as her voice. And What's Love Got to Do With It, based on her autobiographical account (inI, Tina, written with Kurt Loder) of her years under the iron fist of her abusive husband and musical partner/Svengali Ike, is further proof of what we've always known about Tina: She's what you call a survivor. The movie is sort of the Disney version of Tina Turner's story--a glossy but thoroughly enjoyable, old-fashioned showbiz biopic with laughs, tears, great music, and outrageous (but faithful) period decor, costumes, makeup, and hairstyles. Our Heroine triumphs not only over the rigorous demands of her career in the music business, but finally manages to bust out of her troubled, violent marriage as well and become her own person. This is a movie that'll have you shouting at the top of your lungs: 'You go, girl!'--Jim Emerson

Rating:  - Angela Basset's arms are dyn-o-mite!
What's Love Got To Do With It? is the biopic of singer Tina Turner. Angela Basset received an Oscar nomination for her fearless performance, she is a powerhouse! Laurence Fishburne is at his creepiest playing Ike Turner, Tina's manager and abusive husband. This film is a bit much at times but the performances cancel out the soapy plot. Check it out sometime!
Rating: - Feels a little like condensed soup...
There is a growing problem with biopics of this nature.They either feel overly stuffed (since these performers lives were really so rich with color) or they feel a little too airy since everything tends to get glossed over too quickly.With `What's Love Got to Do with It', the former is most definitely the case.Instead of feeling as if we really get to know Tina Turner we are left wondering who she really was.This isn't to say that the film is a failure, but it is to say that the film never ...

Rating:  - What's Love Got To Do With It? A lot, it turns out
This was a very dramatic movie, that was overall pretty good, but like Ike Turner, it got a little heavy handed at times. As a biography it ranks up there with Walk the Line, but perhaps a slight notch below Ray.
The opening scene with the young Anna Mae Bullock (Rae'ven Kelly) singing in the church choir was priceless. She showed great potential and promise and energy--as a rock and roller, not a holy roller! As the choir director escorted her to the door, pulling her by the ear, you ... Read More
Rating:  - Tina Turner Rocks!
I enjoyed watching this film as it gave me the insight to one of my favorite legends.Due to what Tina has endured, it was impossible to watch it a second time.However, this will be in one of my all time favorites, as it had a happy ending!Isn't that why we all go to the movies?!Thank you.
Rating: - Go Tina, Go!!
