What's Love Got To Do With It?

Man, everytime I see this movie it gets me moving. I have seen this movie so many times and it stills get to me.
Angela Bassett, as Tina, and Laurence Fishburne, as Ike are both great in this film. Ms. Bassett plays Tina with all the charm and sex appeal of the real life Tina Turner. Laurence Fishburne gave a amazing and effective performance as Ike, at once both repellent and charismatic. This movie focuses on their relationship to the Tina Turner we know today.
Tina naturally took the lead musically in their Ike and Tina Turner Revue once the mike was handed to her. This became clear that Tina was the one for which the fans were clamoring, Ike did not take lightly to being second fiddle, and their relationship became disoriented and abuse, with Ike easing into the role of abusive husband with ease.
The movie moves on by Tina finally having enough, she divorced Ike, taking nothing from the marriage except her children and her show business name, the name she earned. From there, she went on to rebuild her life and career, becoming the world renowned rock and roll diva she is today. Ike, a substance abuser, ended up in prison for narcotics possession and fell into relative obscurity, little more than a footnote in rock and roll history. This is a film well worth watching.She is truly a strong woman.

This dtory was painfully honest and heart-breaking. It hit all too close to home. The abuse, the jealousy, the violence, the drinking, the drugs, the women were all scenes replayed from my life. After all that's said and done comes the apolgy and the declaration of love. Like Tina, I have to ask, "What's Love Got to do With it?"

I rented this movie before but thought it was so good I wanted to own it. Angela Bisset did a wonderful portral of Tina Turner. I would recoment this movie to anyone.

This a good movie. It's one of my favorites because I'm a Ike and Tina Turner fan. When I used to watch the movie when I was younger it used to scare me to see the abuse,but now it doesn't. It makes me stop and think that this really happened to Tina. Angela Basset and Lawerence Fishburn did a good job in the movie. And Angela was good at doing Tina's moves. Anybody that hasn't seen this film should see it. Everytime it comes on I watch it.
