Director John Singleton is certainly not looking to kiss and make up with the crew of ‘All Eyez On Me’ – the biopic of rapper Tupac Shakur (in theaters now). As fans know, Singleton was originally on board to direct the flick before conflicts with fellow directors and producers over the film’s content caused him to dissociate from it and vow to make his own.
Recently taking to ‘The Big Tigger Show,’ the legendary director was quizzed on his thoughts on the critically panned film that celebrated a #3 box office opening this past weekend to the tune of $27 million in the U.S.
Joining an onslaught of negative reviews afforded the film, are you curious to hear the tongue lashing he lent ‘Eyez’? Hear it from his mouth inside:

As fans know, the “Aaliyah” movie Singleton is referring to is ‘Aaliyah: Princess of R&B’ – the unauthorized biographical account of the songstress’s life produced by Wendy Williams.

First of all, I don’t get how theses people get the audacity to make these movies when they are unauthorized by family. Tupac’s family said no, now why would you go against their wishes. A lack of respect and understanding when it comes to privacy. With Aaliyah’s movie, I saw wendy in a different light .A vile person if this is how they disrespect the famikys of these deceased celebrity. The fans are going to support it but I refuse to even though I love tupac.
Families
Well i saw the movie personally and i loved it i mean everyone is entitled to their own opinions but overall it was an amazing movie for me.
I didn’t love it, but come on. NOTHING is worse than that Aaliyah movie.
I respect John Singleton talent and opinion even though he look Komodo Dragon-ish
