Editorial Review:
Tina Turner, that dynamic diva of pop/soul/R&B from the '60s to the '90s, sings like a woman whose life story is every bit as rough and tough as her voice. And What's Love Got to Do With It, based on her autobiographical account (in I, Tina, written with Kurt Loder) of her years under the iron fist of her abusive husband and musical partner/Svengali Ike, is further proof of what we've always known about Tina: She's what you call a survivor. The movie is sort of the Disney version of Tina Turner's story--a glossy but thoroughly enjoyable, old-fashioned showbiz biopic with laughs, tears, great music, and outrageous (but faithful) period decor, costumes, makeup, and hairstyles. Our Heroine triumphs not only over the rigorous demands of her career in the music business, but finally manages to bust out of her troubled, violent marriage as well and become her own person. This is a movie that'll have you shouting at the top of your lungs: "You go, girl!" --Jim Emerson
Experience for yourself the powerful true-life story of Tina Turner -- rock 'n' roll's remarkable and talented superstar. Laurence Fishburne (THE MATRIX) and Angela Bassett (HOW STELLA GOT HER GROVE BACK) deliver winning performances as Ike and Tina Turner -- whose turbulent relationship eventually forces Tina to leave and face the fear, pay the price, and find the courage to believe in herself. Don't miss WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT -- the amazing and uplifting story of one of the world's most exciting, high-energy entertainers!

Rating:  - What's Love Got To Do With It? A lot, it turns out
This was a very dramatic movie, that was overall pretty good, but like Ike Turner, it got a little heavy handed at times. As a biography it ranks up there with Walk the Line, but perhaps a slight notch below Ray.
The opening scene with the young Anna Mae Bullock (Rae'ven Kelly) singing in the church choir was priceless. She showed great potential and promise and energy--as a rock and roller, not a holy roller! As the choir director escorted her to the door, pulling her by the ear, you ... Read More
Rating:  - Tina Turner Rocks!
I enjoyed watching this film as it gave me the insight to one of my favorite legends. Due to what Tina has endured, it was impossible to watch it a second time. However, this will be in one of my all time favorites, as it had a happy ending! Isn't that why we all go to the movies?! Thank you.

Rating: - Great movie but poor special features.
After reading Tina Turner's "I Tina" book, and watching the movie, I can say that the director did a very good job to adapt 45 years to just two hours. I can also say that some important facts of the book were worth to add to the movie. But well, in overall it's very good how they did it.
Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne did a very good job also as Tina and Ike Turner. Not for nothing they were nominated to an Oscar. Angela Bassett won the 1993 award for this work.
