This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Wooden acting, hilarious lip syncing, clichéd characterisation, all mixed together with a truly awful script. Dick Van Dyke did a better cockney accent in Mary Poppins... clearly a misguided American attempt at an English story... which may satisfy you if you American, but is simply annoying from a British perspective. Unless you are a die hard fan, leave this rubbish well alone.I apparently have to provide 10 lines of text so I will have to continue, it's worth the trouble though. I am not an avid reviewer but feel I must take the trouble to warn discerning people not to waste their time on this ridiculous offering.

I just finished watching the movie and I'm surprised that I actually got to the end. It was so horrible that I was considering to stop watching many times during the movie. First of all, the events are not historically in the right order. Many little details are missing such Sav playing guitar in the beginning instead of bass. In the movie Steve and Phil are writing the Pour Some Sugar on Me intro riff right after the Pyromania tour, although the song was actually the last one written for Hysteria and the idea was actually by Joe, the intro riff was originally a country riff by "Mutt" that Phil gave that Leppard sound. There are many more little flaws like that. These really spoil it for a real fan I think. In addition, the personalities of the characters don't match to the real ones. Def Leppard have always said they have always had democracy and peace in the band, however in the movie it appears to be the other way round. I've got to point out that "Mutt" Lange was awfully portrayed as well. As a Def Leppard fan I think this movie shows no respect to the band, its members and songs. This movie will most likely give a non-Leppard fan a really wrong idea of Def Leppard.

When I first saw the add for this movie I could not wait to see it. After seeing it I have to add my take of it. As far as factual goes it,s 50/50. It would have interesting to see the events how they really happened not how they are shown in the movie. First any Def Leppard fan knows Pete Willis was let go from the band wile they were in the studio recording Pyromania not after a show. Second, they knew Phil they did not see him in a club playing in a band (alough I really thought that was a cool scene if not factual)Over all this is a story about a band who overcame incredible odds and came back with an album that stands the test of time.I would have liked to seen more in the film such as how the band got through the death of Steve Clark and the addition of Vivian Cambell. In my opion the movie should have ended with Def Leppard playing at the tribute to Freddie Mercury at Wembly Arena in 1992.I had hoped that when this film was released on DVD that there would have been deleted scenes included sadly there were none.

I enjoyed the film, but I think, being the big Def Leppard fan that I am, a much higher budget film is in order. I mean, more like, " The Jacksons, an American Dream," or that movie about the Osmond brothers; movies that are about 6 hours or so. I would have sat through that.I think that the saga of Steve Clark should have included some glimpse into his early child development, as I'm getting the idea that he had problems before he ever picked up a guitar. The movie also should have covered his death, and made some mention of his mother. That movie gave me the idea that she didn't care how Barry Clark treated young Steve.As for a comment I read, I felt sorry for Steve, not because of his alcoholism, but because his father, quite honestly, sounded like a real jackass.
