Editorial Review:
A sort of fairy-tale sequel to Prince's enormously successful Purple Rain, 1990's Graffiti Bridge finds his purple highness not only singing and acting, but writing and directing, too. His performance suffers on all fronts. The film isn't a disaster, but it's safe to predict completist fans will make up most of its viewers. In the earlier film, Prince (known as the Kid) was fighting for his place on stage. This time he's fighting to keep his club safe from the money-grubbing hands of his musical rival, the Time's Morris Day, now a nightclub mogul. Day embodies spiritual, sexual, and economic corruption, while the Kid stands for salvation through music and a more redemptive form of lust.
The graffiti bridge conceit--a metaphor for a place of rejuvenation and artistic inspiration--is intriguing. Unfortunately, the bridge itself is merely a prop in a Paisley Park soundstage. Where Purple Rain was a movie that set new standards for lensing musical performances, Graffiti Bridge feels like a music video masquerading as a movie. Lucky for us, Prince cast the honey-voiced poet and performer Ingrid Chavez as Aura, part muse and part angel to both Day and the Kid. Her beauty and charisma ignite every frame she graces. --Michael Mikesell

I love my Prince! I am the biggest Prince fan that I know. He gives excellent concert. I loved Purple Rain and Under the Cherry Moon but this movie, no way! I think that this must have been one those you need to make 3 movie obligations and Prince did like Marvin Gaye, just put something out to fulfill that obligation. I do like the songs but dang, this was just a bad movie.
Rating: - BURN THAT BRIDGE!
Welllll here we go again...you know..I suffered through the viewing and loss of two hours of my life with Under the Cherry Moon, and then I saw this..Some actors can sing, and some singers can act..but I didnt see that singer in this film. I think whoever directed this movie was drunk, and they should have fired every single person in this film, starting with the "purple one". You know..atleast in Under the Cherry Moon, you got a bonus, a poorly acted death scene where Prince throws himself on the ... Read More
Rating:  - Purple Rain, continued
Most people slept on this, and its one of the best soundtracks Prince has done. Buy it!
Rating: - I Love Prince
I am truly a Prince fan. I think he is one of the greatest. This movie was not the best. Prince has so much soul, energy and life to his music. It might be a little different, but it makes him unique. I will continue to support his music and his movies. If you want to see something new and different then you should get this. I enjoyed it.
Rating: - A Prince fans unbiased opinion
When I first saw this in 1990
at age 14 it seemed somewhat "cult like"
It grew on me
The more I looked passed
the cheesy acting and
followed the story
the more I enjoyed it
The same will happen 2 U
Give it a chance
