2.5/4  Musical biopic okay but fails in many ways.
This musical biopic which is I suppose the first one of them is okay but not great. It follows Ray story very closely almost too closely actually. It just shows him play and keep playing meeting various other famous people, and singing som... (read full)

2.5/4  Same 'ol song
Jamie Foxx well deserved the Oscar for this movie. I personally am quite sick of watching movies about all these tormented stars who are so brilliant but behind the scenes they coke up. It's just not interesting anymore. But as for Foxx's ... (read full)

2.5/4  Ray Quick Review
All of these biopics seem about the same. Walk the Line and Ray are almost identical in story and execution. Fox gives a perfect performance as often I thought I was listening to Ray Charles and watching him as well. Forgettable but OK.

This is a very well done rendition of Ray Charles' life with an outstanding sound track.

5/5 "Ray is first rate"
  by Scott N. Burton (Fairfield,CT USA)
Ray Charles (1930-2004) was one of the most revered figures in the history of rhythm & blues music-Frank Sinatra was once quoted as saying that "Ray Charles is the only genius in our business"-That's high praise indeed-Jamie Foxx's portrayal of Charles is outstanding-He nailed everything to perfection-The soundtrack includes these all-time classics:"Hit The Road Jack","Unchain My Heart" & "What'd I Say"-Foxx definitely earned his Best Actor award-If you're a Ray Charles aficionado or someone who enjoys vintage R&B music,this movie's for you.

5/5 Stellar Performances Of An Extraordinary Life! Vivid HD Quality!
  by Lost Soul Critic (Charleston WV)
I'm pretty new to this rating products thing on Amazon. I don't fancy myself a real movie critic either, it was just a fun pen name. So, when I'm reviewing a movie on HD or Blue-Ray; I try to give an opinion to people who haven't yet seen the movie. As well as to people who have, and just want to know if it's worth re-buying it over in a hi-def format. This is one of those movies I watch on a regular basis, even though I know exactly what's going to happen. Because it feels like visiting an old friend. ABOUT THE HD-I feel that any movie that you want to watch repeatedly is worth owning on HD or Blue-Ray. If...you have a TV that is capable of showing the difference. The one thing I was hoping for was that the vintage footage from the late 40's and early 50's would be sharper. No. And thinking on it it shouldn't be. The hi-def format does just what it's supposed to do. Reveal the old film for what it is...old film. But the rest of the movie does benefit greatly. Like when Ray 'looks' at his watch by feeling it, I can read the tiny wording on the dial face. I've been getting these movies on HD for a very good price is one reason I've been buying on HD instead of Blue-Ray. I hope these reviews help with your buying decision.
