I love this movie so much

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Interesting look at the band that eschews the talking heads to show lots of archival stuff and some weird home movies that make Morrison out to be less of an icon and more of just a dude who happened to be a rock star. I don't think this is definitive because it lacks the perspective that having people talk about their influence can bring, but it certainly gives you a good sense of the band, even with Depp's monotonous delivery and overly dramatic narration.

This movie documentary I found incredibly informative. You will hear from the band members themselves: Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger & John Densmore. They tell all about the band in this one. They give us a deeper look at Jim Morrison, the rise and the (brief) fall of the band after Jim's death on Jul 03, 1971. I say brief fall because the band is still selling millions of dollar worth of merchandise and just as popular today as they were in the 1960s... maybe more so these days(?).The film is narrated by none other than Johnny Depp who is also a fan of the band. Wonderful narration.This is concert footage, original behind the scenes footage, new footage and interviews that will tell all that you wanted to know about the mysterious band.Excellent film for fans of The Doors.10/10

One of the strongest memories that,I genuinely think I will never forget is seven years ago,when I was sixteen years old and absolutely having no interest in music at all.Until...One night I felt like watching a film,so I picked up a video with the words Apocalypse Now written on the top of it.When the films excellent opening shot of a Vietnam jungle getting Carpet-bombed,I heard an almost indescribable amazing voice start singing,with some jaw-dropping musicianship matching the excellent vocals.After having played the opening scene non-stop for a week!,I quietly asked my dads friend if he knew the name of the band that performed the song.When I got told that it was by a band called The Doors,I rushed out to buy their self-titled album,from the now shut-down Music Zone.Instantly,I went to the track from the film called The End,At the end of the epic 11 and a half minutes,I was completely speechless.Due to how well the whole album was able to hook me in,I played the album ever day for four whole years!!.And even now,I still have some of the stunning lyrics and beautiful music stuck in my head.The outline of the film:The film is a career over-view of the Los Angeles,California band The Doors.The film looks at the background and friendship of each band member.Whilst the band are very talented,the fame that they very quickly get,particularly for their singer Jim Morrison,is something that the group really struggle with.One of the main thing that the film shows,is how much Jim Morrison transforms as the front man of The Doors,going from the early footage showing Morrison being very shy and nervous,to the final concert footage where he is extremely depress, very angry and furious,with people only going to see the band,not to hear the music,but going to see a "Freak Show"View on the film:Over the years,it has seemed that when film makers have tried to make films or documentaries about The Doors,they have always ended up being disappointing,with,documentary makers always using the same concert footage of the band.Thankfully,director Tom Dicillo is able to erase most of those bad memories with this film.Dicillo wisely makes sure to not make the movie into Jim Morrison-The Movie.(something that Oliver Stones film sadly suffered from.)Instead,he makes sure to give a very good amount of the films running time to look at each band member,with lots of very rarely seen photos,and a huge amount of stunning newly- realised audio and video footage of the band in the studio and performing some of their most famous (and infamous) shows.Though,I do have to highlight,the shockingly pristine footage of an un-finished film that Jim Morrison made with a friend.Final view on the film:A brilliant film,with some astonishing new incites of an extraordinary band.

Well watch this companion piece along with Oliver Stone's the Doors as it shows you a lot of the actual events that transpired in the film. the movie starts with showing of what must be one of Jim's many home movies of him driving an old mustang and listening to the car radio as the announcer announces his untimely death in Paris. Makes you think what if he is still alive? i had a friend who is also a doors fan once test me by saying all the drugs and booze he put his body through???...There is no way he made it out alive. Well i simply replied have you seen Keith Richards lately...hmmm he is still around and still on stage the last time i heard and if the books i have read on the Stones are accurate he had a very daily and expensive heroin addiction going on. Tom Dicillo directs this with the awesome decision of asking Johnny Depp (mr cool) to narrate which only adds to the whole diffinity of this film. Doors live performances and background soundtrack fill in the blanks here which starts as Ray and Jim meeting at film school, to take a walk on the beach and talk about opening the doors of perception and starting a rock n roll band...little did they know how much of music history they would be writing for us. A must for any Doors fan as i am.
