Here is what people are saying about the What's Love Got To Do With It
 "One film to not miss!" | 2009-07-12 |

For years I have tried to avoid biopics for the sake of 'some truth, alot of fiction'. This film, endorsed by Tina herself, is one of the best films in the biopic arena. Tina even makes an appearance at the end.
Fishburne & Bassett were superb choices to play Ike & Tina, and the quality of the film itself gets kudos for actually looking as if everyone cared about the whole project, unlike other biopics that look hastily done in order to make a buck.
There are a few disturbing scenes of brutal violence, so second thought when showing this with children present.
Overall, the quality of the DVD is excellent. I was pleased to see this again after viewing it in the theaters during it's initial run.
5 stars! |

I first saw "What's Love Got To Do With It?" in theatres when it first came out in June, 1993. It has been the only movie that I have ever seen where I was very disturbed by the graphic violence and abuse that the film depicts. I knew Tina Turner experienced a very abusive relationship with her husband and mentor Ike Turner, but I had no idea she went through the hell that she did. The movie does contain it's share of violence, but the movie had to be honest in its portrayal of spousal abuse. It is not easy for most of us to watch a man beating his wife, but this is the truth of what Tina lived through. How Tina managed to survive is amazing in itself, as she left Ike Turner in July, 1976 with thirty six cents and a credit card to her name. The message in the film is clear: have faith in yourself and be strong and you will survive anything.
The movie is based on Tina's autobiography "I Tina" that was released in 1986 to critical and commercial success, and if you think what you see in the film is bad, reading the pages of "I Tina" is even more harrowing. There are many incidents that occurred between Tina and Ike that were never dramatized in the film but are in the book. There were times that Ike would beat Tina so bad he would break her ribs, her jaw, and force her to go on stage and sing. The most disturbing part of the book and film are the scene in which Ike would beat Tina, then rape her.
The movie is very hard to watch, but this is what the queen of rock and roll went through. She endured 18 years of hell with a monster who cared more about his drug addiction than his own wife. Tina is an example for all of us to look at. She survived to tell her own story.
The DVD comes in widescreen with the trailer, and unfortunately no bonuses are included.
Both Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburn, who play Tina and Ike, were nominated for Best Actress and Best Actor Oscars. Whitney Houston was chosen for the part of Tina, but had to drop out because of her impending pregnancy. The producers then cast Angela.
The title of the film is derived from Tina Turner's #1 pop song "What's Love Got To Do With It?" that she released in 1984 in which she won multiple Grammy Awards for.
A remarkable story of courage and survival. |

| 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!!!! |

| 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. |
