I love this movie so much

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I like oasis as much as i like cant belive its not butter seen them live in a few countries and as a live band average to poor but on the albums average to good but lets faceit they are the poor mans bootleg beatles not original,slightly tacky and incredibably embarassing.the doco was good but made it even more obvious these people have very limited talent and really should just be throwing tyres around for a living. this documentary is good to have on in the background while you do other things as the people involved and the whole story is not very interesting

STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning Noel Gallagher was the guitar-man for the Inspiral Carpets in the early 90's before being sacked for being too wild and unpredictable. However, later on in that decade, the Britpop phenomenon exploded onto the scene, and him, his brother Liam and two others jumped on the bandwagon, and formed the swaggering, rough round the edges rock group that went on to become the legendary Oasis. These rough round the edges Mancunian boys were uncompromising in their ways, and presented an alternative to the cookie cut vision of what a music personality should be, but managed to secure a series of consecutive hits before conflicting personalities, inter-band dynamics and the advent of ready made pop culture sought to bring them down.While they were undoubtedly tied up in the Britpop bubble of the time, years later it's undeniable that Oasis, as an individual group, generated something within the musical youth of the time that none of the others did, and to many they still do to this day. They tapped into the collective consciousness of young music fans of the time, and fed off a sense of disillusionment and rebelliousness many of them felt in what turned out to be the dying days of fifteen years of Tory rule. Although they clearly modelled themselves after, and idolised The Beatles, they were still raw and authentic in a way a band like Blur or Supergrass couldn't say they were, and in terms of delivering a cocky, take us or leave us attitude, they were in a league of their own.The film charts their story from before they were even born, with their mothers arrival from Ireland in the early 60's, and her marriage to their father, who physically abused her and Noel, but not Liam, although it still left traumatic scars on him, as we learn in one part where their tour manager in the US recounts him 'demanding' her to come down and see him so he could ask if she believed in God, only to tell her exactly why he didn't. Noel, however, seemingly refused to let it define him and managed to be a bit more grounded. However, their rough upbringing still reflected on their style as musicians, with Noel stating that Oasis 'weren't a band for wimps' and that their first reaction through losing a drummer to illness (but not death) was 'f**k me, we need a new drummer.' It all wraps up with Noel's thoughts on what happened after their mighty gig as Knebworth and how 'reality TV/talent show culture/the internet' meant such a mighty event could never happen again, and how the band should have just gone their separate ways forever after that. There's certainly a lot to cover in such a relatively short musical lifetime, and this film soaks you up in pretty much of it and leaves you feeling only minimally deflated after nearly two hours. ****

I have been waiting to see this for some time. I have to say i was not an initial oasis music fan so i missed a lot of the early years of their making. I sat mesmerized from start to end and the film was great. With the Live footage often giving me goosebumps. A truly tremendous though slightly arrogant band and for someone who didn't know what their story was this shows it in all its morning glory.... Damn that is bad lol I will give this 10 stars coz it has laughter , sadness and great musical moment that kept me fully entertained Lets hope this movie does well and sparks a comeback with the band :PA must see for any music of this genre fan and just for the pure interest to how they were back in the day...

Biblical, well I ain't no God fearing person but Whatever, the film captures, for most part, the simplicity we brought to being a modern day Rock n Roll star.There are two sides to it for the fan and the icon. The buzz of being recognized,quoted, followed and rich are fantastic and trying.To wake up and think "yeah I am really famous" as a first thought of the day is a buzz, a high better than any drug. But then after a while it grinds you down and you kinda want it to go away at times but it doesn't want too.I think the film shows signs of that and the demise was fame fatigue amongst other things.For the fans this is showing that we are just lucky guys who wrote and performed some great songs that caught the mood around at the time for a certain generation. Don't forget the Blur's and Suede and Elastica's but it's our tunes and our story that mirrors the times. Politics were dirty and confusing. The media were trying to create a Britpop scene and worse thing potato head did was sip champagne with Tory Blair, sorry Tony Blair. Stupidity aside come and rock n roll with me and the boys, I am all the things they say I am and then again I am nothing that has been written. One thing guaranteed. Love me and I will love you back. What makes the world go around? We did for sometime anyway. Love LGx
