Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Is it Oscar-worthy? No. Is it an alright gangster flick? Sure.
Look, I don't exactly think Hype Williams was aiming to outdo the 'Godfather' movies when he made 'Belly.' For me, however, it stands up there with 'Menace II Society' and 'New Jersey Drive' as interesting slice-of-life flicks.
Both 'Menace' and 'Belly' trip up on their grandiose ambitions of portraying gangsters trying (or being led slowly) to turning a page on their lives, but are certainly entertaining in the process. I prefer to think of 'Belly' as a series of scenes set to music, ... Read More
Rating:  - Belly...A great street fable for the new millenium
I've owned this movie since it's release and I too like many others who have written negative reviews here, didn't get it. At first glance, I was annoyed by the lighting and somewhat unrealistic story. Then, after each viewing things once fuzzy would become clear. The point is not to get too wrapped up in the surface things. The dark lighting of Sincere's crib was to make you focus on how he and his girl interacted and not what was in thier house. Hype had a lot of tricks that you really need to peep. ... Read More
Rating:  - You have to be a hip hop head to understand this film
Belly is by far one of the best ubran films ever made. The plot about two hustlers is brilliant and true to life. The slang and dialouge is something you have to be from New York or the east coast to understand. The people who don't like Belly didn't undersatnd the film or the message Hype Williams wanted to convey. Don't hate in this movie until you've really seen it and anaylzed it. Extra points go to out to Hype Williams for a amazing opening cinematography seqeunce and his top notch commentary on the ... Read More
Rating: - Film class, First Class
Unfortunately many minds heard and saw Hype William's Poster for Belly and assumed it to be just another "hood" film with an all-black cast most of America can't relate to, and won't go see.
However, this film takes place in Manhattan, Queens, NJ... and other areas many of us live. It is also shot by Hype Williams in an extraordinary way. Camera tricks, and lighting give this films aesthetic a pop. The plot didn't wrap properly but Hype attempted to infuse a solid lesson to a strong audience ... Read More
Rating: - Highly disappointed
I was highly disappointed when I read the reviews for this product giving it anything less than five stars. Before you watched the film, you should have known what it was about. That's why there are MOVIE TRAILERS. Watching the film for myself, I knew what to expect. For me, it was all that and more. Yes, it was based around drugs, violence and sex, but it was so realistic as to what's going on in today's society, minus women killing their children, teachers having sex with children, rape and other everyday ...
