Rating: 5 stars
Summary: awsome action
Review: the great parts are the sex scene

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: stylistic and powerful
Review: Denzel's always incredible performance and Sayeed's cinematography are beautiful. This is one of Spike Lee's best movies, although sometimes meandering plotlines weaken it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Spike Lee's "He Got Game"
Review: Spike Lee scores a game winner with "He Got Game." He portrays a high school basketball player going through the recruitment process. Ray Allen plays the lead role as Jesus Shuttlesworth and does a great job. Denzel Washington plays his incarcirated dad who also has a say on where he wants his son to go to school.
Spike Lee does a great job going into the details of how money, sex, drugs, and women can influence a young mas decision on where to go school. I give this movie five stars and would recommend it to any sports fan especially one that loves basketball. Other movies compared to this one would be "Above the Rim" which you could purchase as a set from Amazon.com.


Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie...
Review: This movie is very good, i am a huge spike lee fan. Ray Allen is great in this film...when i first saw this i had no idea who he was, and would of never guessed he was a basketball player. And to the post that said "he might consider Milla Jovovich if you were coming out of prison too"...your crazy, she's hot.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Spike's best.
Review: I think this is Spike Lee's best. I've seen all his films and this is the only one I can watch over and over. Aside from most of his films this one doesn't seem to force a message. It also appeals to a larger audience than his other films.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Touching father and son story
Review: I didn't pay attention to "He Got Game" when it first came out, since I'm not a big basketball fan. Boy was I pleasantly surprised when I did see it.

I think it's one of Spike Lee's best movies. "He Got Game" covers lots of issues: interracial dating, black stereotypes, the college athlete, corruption in college athletics, the politics behind sports, the incarceration of Black men, and most of all, a father trying to make amends with his son.

"He Got Game" is loaded with symbolism, each time you see it, you will pick up something new (the kids names: "Mary" and "Jesus"; the last basketball shot, etc.).

Most of all, I recommend this movie to you because I find it touching, and felt emotions that I certainly did not expect from a Spike Lee movie. My suggestion: see it for Father's Day!
