Purely Joyful Movie!

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Big potential but for me a very weak story. No strong point. Just telling story. For Hendrix fans a big disappointment. I feel like seeing this movie was just waste of time, I dint get moved in any way. All the time I was waiting for ,,something,, to happen. BUT The camera, music and actors were really nice. So I guess a nice choice for some thursday movie night... neutral and good looking. But nothing more.

I thought Andre's performance was mesmerising. I have to disagree with those who thought he came across as dull or idiotic. I saw him as a thoughtful, compassionate, free spirit with insightful observations on the world at the time and the attitudes of all he encountered. Totally believable - truly enjoyed it.

I feel some of the reviews here have been overly harsh on this film.Is it entirely accurate? No, but then tell me, what biopic is?It's a real shame though that none of Hendrix' music was featured in the film but then that only serves to credit the makers even more that they managed to creat a wholey enjoyable film without the music of the maestro himself.There was still some fantastic musical moments and the Soundtrack overall done the film justice.There was some excellent acting performances throughout and I feel the casting was remarkably well done in the main. The film gave the overall vibe of the times and how Hendrix came to prominence in the UK before hitting the Monterey music festival.It would be nice to see a biopic of this man made whereby his music is showcased, since that is what he was about and carry it throughout his overly short musical career.Yes, there are errors in this production and that's a real shame in honesty but there are also a lot of accuracies too.Overall, really not a bad film. Is it one for diehard Hendrix fans who know about his life? Well, probably not but for anyone new to the Hendrix phenomenon then sure, it'll serve as a basic outline into how he started in music.

The movie missed the opportunity to dive deeper into the music, but decided to focus on the uninteresting relationships.Editing is weird and slow paced. Dialogue was layered on top of alternate dialogue and 40% of the movie is complete silence (people smoking or just staring at things). The movie is 2 hours long, so there is a A LOT of fillers due to the dullness of the script.The script is bull. Hendrix was not aggressive and disrespectful to Kathy, and Clapton was not jealous of Hendrix.As much as I love Hendrix, this film was nothing but and insult to Jimi's legacy. Honestly, the only scene worth watching is the band's performance of Sgt. Pepper's.5/10
