   Is 'get on up' a good movie?

   • The Times critic Stephen Holden reviews “Get On Up.” D Stevens/Universal Pictures “Get On Up,” directed by Tate Taylor (“The Help”), thrillingly captures the frenzy of Brown’s music, and the forces driving that frenzy, both musical and personal. Like its gyrating, spasmodic staccato beats, “Get On Up” refuses to stand still.

   How is get on up based on a true story?

   • Get on Up is told using a nonlinear narrative as if through James Brown's stream of consciousness, including asynchronous events and frequent breaks in the fourth wall. The film opens in 1993 with James Brown walking through a darkened hallway as an audience chants his name. He hears the voices of people he knew throughout his life.

   What makes 'get on up' a good movie?

   • Watching him perform, and listening to him perfectly nail Brown’s speaking voice are the true pleasures of “Get on Up.” Playing Brown from a teenager onward (Jamarion Scott complements nicely as the younger version of Brown), Boseman is never unconvincing, even in that embarrassing opening scene.

   What is the opening scene of the James Brown biopic 'Get on up'?

   • The opening scene of the James Brown biopic “Get On Up” plays like a bad Dave Chappelle skit. Please beg my indulgence as I describe it. A woman is shown sitting on the toilet, her biological activities intercut with a drugged-out James Brown driving to an office building he owns.

   Aug 1, 2014 · The band scenes are some of the film’s best, and a restaurant scene between Brown and Little Richard is fun for threatening to veer off into seduction. Brandon Smith’s Richard bats his eyes at Brown and calls him “sugar.”. Brown’s complete lack of discomfort is kind of liberating. I went into “Get On Up” hoping for “Sex Machine.”.
