Deserves WAY more than 5 stars........
How far Jamie Foxx has come. From a pretty much unknown comic on In Living Colour, to an Academy Award winning actor who now is in the upper-echelon of the "best actors in Hollywood" category after his outstanding performance in this flick. Many times... more

Started out weak, but grew on me
I'll be straightforward--I didn't like Ray Charles or his music that much and I wasn't expecting much from this movie (even with all the hype). But it turned out to be pretty good.

This movie wouldn't be much without Jamie Foxx. He makes... more

Very good
I watched the movie and at times think I was watching the real Ray Charles.Jamie Foxx was the right choice to play the legend.The life story of Ray Charles made me want to cry and get angry.The crying part was the story about his tragic childhood from... more

THE best movie
Who could not love the music by Ray Charles. Be prepared this movie is very long....and very very good. So sad to how he was treated in the beginning of his career. This wonderful man will never be forgotten...buy the movie and a CD also!!!

The One And Only Ray Charles
"Ray", released in 2004, garnered much critical acclaim from the critics. The quality of this film proves them all as well-deserved, earning seven Oscar nomination including Best Picture and winning two (Best Sound Mixing and Best Actor). It stars Jamie... more

Jamie Foxx is Ray Charles!!!
As 2003's Charlize Theron was deserving for her Oscar, Jamie Foxx is deserving as well as for is outstanding portrayal of the musical genious. Director Taylor Hackford waited 15 years to make this film and it's a good thing he did. I don't think anyone... more

Ran the opposite direction of "The Incredibles".
I didn't like "Ray" too much. "The Incredibles" is one of my favorite movies, but "Ray" was so over-rated and ran the opposite direction.

Foxx is best actor
Ray Charles works his way, blind, on a cross country bus trip from Florida to Seattle. He wanders the streets seeking to get into the local jazz scene. He forms a romatic relationship. He gets married then cheats on his wife. He gets hooked on heroin... more

Jamie Foxx in a remarkable performance
This stunning bio-pic stars Jamie Foxx as legendary singer Ray Charles. We see in flashbacks how Ray grew up in utter poverty, was blinded by glaucoma at the age of seven, lost both his brother and mother by age 15, yet rose to become a world-famous... more

GIVE CREDIT, WHERE CREDIT IS DO!!!
Eric Bishop (Jamies real name) made Ray Charles,
come back to life! I knew this movie would receive
some awards, after I saw it! I found out alot of
things I never knew about Ray Charles, in this movie.
Jamie is a great actor,... more

Fantastic performance, inspiring story of a genius!
I loved Jamie Foxx's performance as Ray Charles! This guy continues to floor me all the time. He's a great comedian, sure, but as a dramatic actor he's even better (Ali, Collateral, this movie). His impersonation of Ray Charles was so believable that,... more

I see it. I'm hooked.
When Ray was in the theatres I did not go see it. It seemed like everyone would come up to me and tell me to go see Ray but I didn't want to. I guess I don't like movies that are about famous people. I thought it was going to be boring and dramatic... more

My God! Jamie Foxx WAS Ray Charles!!
I'm one to poo-poo critical acclaim on most movies (I prefer to judge for myself). Usually the hype far outweighs the content of a so-called Academy Award Winner.

This film, though, brings so much more to the viewer than what the media... more

Foxx's Show
Never having been a major Ray Charles fan, I did not really think much about whether I should go see this film. Did I really care about a musical genius who was a musical innovator and later a force against segregation (who also happened to be blind)... more

GOOD ACTOR...DECENT MOVIE
I am a black man who loves the fact that so many black actors and movies were nominated for the Oscar 2005, but I am not one of those typical black people who believes that no matter how crappy a black movie is, it should receive the award, no matter... more

Charles In Charge
Going into Ray, I had known almost nothing about Ray Charles' life, outside of the fact that he was blind and despite that, he didn't that the disability stand in the way of his talent and goals. After watching the musical biographical drama of the American... more

He Lived On the Edge Of Music, Fear, and Love
Everyone knows the music of Ray Charles but very few people know his real life story. This is a wonderful if sad movie about the musician's life. I
can now understand why Jamie Foxx won best actor. The role he had to
perform was both physically... more

Very honest biopic...
...which doesn't try to cover over Ray Charles' darker side, namely his heroin addiction and serial adultery. Usually most biopics either gloss over or moralize about such things, this film mercifully just tells it like it is.

Jamie Foxx... more
