I just watched this movie last night and over all i walked away thinking "wow that was a great movie." I really enjoyed it. There are so many great songs and the story moves along well. it hopes from person to person and their story. It was very exciting. And the supposed love affair between Etta James and Chess, whether it be true or not made the story just that much more interesting. Beyonce did a great job in this film. I had tears in my eyes as she sang "I'd rather go blind." I'd never heard of most of the artists before i saw this film but I bought the sound tract and it is excellent. I know this movie isn't in very many theaters still but if you can try to go. I'd give it 5 stars.

I've seen the trailer for the movie... I am really excited to see this one... I am sure it is gonna get Oscar buzz considering it has Oscar winner Adrian Brody and will surely be entertaining who love these kind of music making movies.

I'm a movie buff and a music lover and I can hardly wait to see this movie. As a native Chicagoan I grew up in the area where chess records was located. Beyonce has blossomed into a first class actress and absolutelty does Etta James' " At Last" justice. From what I saw from the trailer this may be her academy award winning performance. I hope that it is! Go Bey! You are triple threat! I wish you continual success in your career.

One of my favorite things at the movie theater are the trailers, I want to see what's coming that I might "see at the theater, rent or only see if I have absolutely nothing else to do or cable it out". Well, well while waiting for SoulMen to come on the trailer for "Cadillac Records" comes up and I get to see first hand the most horrible thing... Beyonce playing "ETTA JAMES!!!! REALLY? REALLY? Was there no one else to play ETTA. When I first heard she would play ETTA I kringed. Without a doubt in my mind I knew she was the wrong person to ATTEMPT to do ETTA any justice. Was she the only person that you felt would sell this movie? I can think of at least 5 other women that could have pulled this off with both looks and the voice. Oh yah, I heard her version of "At Last" and it sounds like typical Beyonce. As a movie goer, in my book this is a NEVER EVER SEE IN MY LIFE NO MATTER WHAT. I'm sure my not seeing this movie won't make or break it, but as a ETTA JAMES FAN. This is WRONG!
