Are they upset b/c he’s not in a dress? OUR ppl can be sooo closed minded.

I am going to support Tyler Perry. He played a serious role in Why Did I Get Married. He was okay in my opinion in Good Deeds as well. So since he is always helping others, I will spend my money on this man.

I kept waiting for him to bust out a “hallelujeer” or a “mor-ting”

The movie was good and I enjoyed the story line. I do believe that Tyler gave it his best shot and while by no means did he fail his performance was not Oscar worthy. In HIS movies and HIS plays he seems to adlib a lot which I think is a natural thing for him to do, it really felt like he was compelled to stick to the script which really didn’t allow him any room to better develop the character. There were certain scenes that I just expected more. I do think in time he will perfect this and feel more comfortable becoming the character v. sticking to the lines as written word for word.

Funny part is after seeing the movie my husband and I both said great movie but we would have loved to see Denzel or Jamie in that role… I am still very much so a supporter of Tyler so I am excited about seeing him grow.

C’mon people. Tyler is Madea. End of story. I don’t care what role he plays, I see Madea. I saw her in "Why Did I Get Married" when he was arguing with his wife about the birth control pills. I say Madea in "Good Deeds" when he ws eating pizza with the little girl in the pizzaria. Sorry, Madea makes a cameo apperance in all his movies. She keeps popping out. LOL

i haven’t seen the movie yet , but i plan on it…i also liked him in good deeds
keep up the good work tyler:)

I thought he did an acceptable job, and I certainly understand him wanting to get out if his comfort zone, but the whole time I was thinking Samuel Jackson or any number of trained actors would have carried the role better.

I really enjoyed the movie Alex Cross and i loved Good Deed. So im not sure why all the negative comments. He has learned to seperate the two from Madea to being in main stream. I pray that he continue his sucess and looking forward to more future roles from him. Give the brother sum slack. Im not sure what you may been looking for, but apprently whoever picked him for the role saw something in him (Greatness) Love you Tyler an you keepin doing you boo, blessing xoxoxo…..

I believe he did an excellent job in both Good Deeds and Alex Cross. I was already tired of him doing shows like Madea. In order to show his talent he has to show diversity. Yes, I guess one has to get used to him being serious. However, I see growth and once I see growth I will continue to support. Continue to be successful and let the haters hate.

I saw the film and it was bad as a whole. Tyler Perry wasn’t horrible but he wasn’t good either. I saw the movie for free and still felt like they owed me something when it was over.

Mr.Perry is lacking one thing to carry this role…"TESTOSTERONE"

I’m in the minority, but I actually think Tyler did a great job. In "Kiss the Girl", Morgan Freeman played Alex Cross. So that dispels any notion that Tyler didn’t fit any description of Dr. Cross in the books. My only critique is that the movie didn’t focus on Dr. Cross, as the previous movies did. In "Kiss the Girl", the producers/writers focused on Dr. Cross’s intellect to solve the case. Here, that wasn’t the case. Overall, still a good movie.

I haven’t seen it yet but i bet Madea has a stronger presence than Tyler Perry! Oh, that’s sad.

Finally, Tyler Perry is steping out of the box, and making serious movie, now I can be happy for him, that’s all I wanted in the first place for him to take on serious role,and hopefully win an emmy

Saw it, HATED it. I like Tyler, paid full price and legally purchased every DVD he released, even own the HORRIBLY corny ones that he’s not even in and have a Tyler Perry official DVD shelf in my entertainment room. He’s not good, AT ALL, at serious roles that require him to pull at the people’s heart strings, he can write those feelings and casts GREAT actors to fulfill his vision, he’s great at writing and casting, but him being the "MAN" and making you feel some kind of serious way is a FAIL every time. Good Deeds was HORRIBLE, and the good deed done by the right performer would have pulled at the heart strings but with Tyler and old boy over acting and being overly angry at black women, it was a "please go off, I want a refund" situation. Even when he does short spots in the madea films as the family lawyer it’s BAD acting, he’s not even believable in a 5 minute scene as a family lawyer, he’s just not good outside of his madea comedy, and the comedy was BAD in the last movie(witness protection was a RIP-OFF). It’s not a big deal, so what he can’t do everything, writing is a great gift, that’s the same problem Ashanti and Keri Hilson have, not being satisfied with their GREAT writing skills and wanting to be the face of their work. Man SIT DOWN and stop trying to be everything in the industry, dramatic acting is not for Tyler, mildly dramatic acting isn’t even for Tyler, again, his family lawyer role is corny and STOP NOW with the attempts to be sexy, that was a FAIL in both Good Deeds and Alex Cross, remember in Good Deeds when he changed it up and put on some jeans and starting dancing, That was better than every scene in Alex Cross and that’s not a good thing. Sometimes when you favor an entertainer, even when they funk it up, you credit them as doing good just because their your fav, Martin Lawrence has funked up a lot (A LOT)of movies and I still was like, "well, he did good on some parts." And I see some folks doing that for their fav. Tyler Perry. Anybody who says beyonce lacks emotion and acting skills could look to her as a warning against seeing Alex Cross, because she and him are on the same skill level of bad acting. When you go see a GOOD performer in a movie you feel them and might even cry or cheer for them as if it’s a real victory, you get lost in the story, but Tyler doesn’t have that, the whole movie I was fully aware I was sitting in a cold theater watching the end result of some bad script work and some horrible directing, I didn’t get lost not a one scene, not even the ones where violence and tragedy struck, it was like yeah ok actor, next line please, next scene.

I guess he has to be toting a gun to respect. Real actors? Like who rappers, racist?…Girl gone!

Stop Cooning for the ghetto!

At the end of the "DAY" or "ANY DAY" Tyler Perry will not be loosing any sleep or money over folks saying what they want him to stop doing. People need to stop complaining and worry about their own lives, he done told yall one time "KISS MY BLACK A**!"
Do you Tyler people will never be satisfied life is to short.

I’m sorry I don’t but any of this it was good stuff. I saw that trailer and my girlfriend tried to get me to see it and I said no. I like Tyler Perry but after I heard him utter that line about meeting someone in hell I perished. I enjoy change I enjoyed his cameo in "Star Trek". I really liked Why Did I get Married he was great in that. Now with that said I just don’t believe him in this action man role. Looks forced is all but hey everyone has different quality they look for. To each their own.

Wow, I’ll wait till it comes out on DVD….
