DVD Reviews of What's Love Got To Do With It?
DVD Review: Angela Bassett is Simply the Best
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a must-see. Angela Bassett's portrayal of Tina Turner is phenomenal. She should have won an Oscar for her role in this film. She is truly the star and Tina's story has the ability to empower and save women who are also stuck in abusive relationships. This movie chronicles the career of diva tina turner and her love affair gone bad with ike turner. Anyone who owns a tv or listens to the radio knows how this story ends. Tina finally leaves her abusive relationship and becomes the Queen of Rock and Roll and an international world wonder. Her story is inspirational, the movie is wonderful, the music in this film will have you going out buying every tina album and Angela Bassett gives us a stellar performance as she literally becomes Tina Turner. Im addicted to it. Its one of the best films I have ever seen. Go Buy The DVD today!!!!DVD Review: Riveting!!

The story of Tina Turner is heartwarming. The story line was riveting and the music phenomenal. Loved every minute of it.DVD Review: Compelling viewing
Summary: 4 Stars
Even if you are not a Tina fan, this movie will give you an appreciation of the evolution of a true superstar. It's not just a statement about the music. You experience the grind of the road, the recording studio, and the hell of an abusive marriage. But after all the betrayal and the violence, you have the rise of a survivor. One of the greatest performers of our time. Tina.DVD Review: Tina Diva.
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie because she didnt have to, but she selflessly did so i enjoyed it then i was MAD.So good for you Tina.DVD Review: Non Anamorphic(Enhanced For 16 x 9 T.V.) DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
I really like this film, but it is yet another of Buena Vista's dvd's ready for an upgrade already. It is not properly presented for widescreen t.v.'s. The only thing good about this tranfer is it's in 5.1 surround. There's no special features. I can't wait to buy this film once it get's the dvd presentation it deserves. Powerful and deft performances of the true life story of singer Tina Turner and her turbulent marriage to Ike Turner.
Description of What's Love Got To Do With It?
Experience for yourself the powerful true-life story of Tina Turner -- rock 'n' roll's remarkable and talented superstar. Laurence Fishburne (THE MATRIX) and Angela Bassett (HOW STELLA GOT HER GROVE BACK) deliver winning performances as Ike and Tina Turner -- whose turbulent relationship eventually forces Tina to leave and face the fear, pay the price, and find the courage to believe in herself. Don't miss WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT -- the amazing and uplifting story of one of the world's most exciting, high-energy entertainers!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 (in I, 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
