Stop blaming Anthony Mackie and blame the script!!

Most of the people on this board are saying they didnt like ANthony Mackie's portrayal of Tupas but l havent seen one that blames the script for writing him like this. IN all of Tupac's scene we see him all rowdy and unlike the Tupac we know. there was no other opportunity for Tupac to be Tupac in that script except for maybe when he meets BIG for the first time. I really feel they *beep* up his character and in order to make BIG look innocent they messed up Tupac's character. It is the scripts fault

I've been saying the same thing. You can't blame Mackie for bad casting. Although it is true that Tupac was rowdy. He was notorious for getting himself into confrontations. He was one of the many rowdy rappers that Suge Knight brought into Death Row. I didn't even think his performance was bad. It just wasn't the right actor for Tupac.
