Huge Respect

The one reviewer on here gives the movie 1 star because the movie does not show that Aretha was a b*tch , the other gives also 1 star because the movie does not show that Aretha had great humour. It is getting more and more tiresome that people think its ok to rate a movie like this as terrible and just worth 1 star. It says enough of those people though.

Respect is a bio-pic of a singer that struggles at the beginning of her career to follow her own path, her own voice. It ends in 1972 when Aretha recorded a gospel album, live at a church service. When she finally earned and gave herself that respect.

Jennifer Hudson is amazing, at times she sounds exactly like the Queen of Soul and her acting is at times absolutely great.

Respect is a great movie about the Queen of Soul and if you like her music, this is the movie for you. I suggest you don't listen to the people who before they see a minute of a movie decide to trash it just because its one of the 'big' movies. Its not fair, just give it a chance, I personally promise you, you won't be disappointed.
