A waste of 90 minutes of my life
... View MoreHow wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.
... View MoreThis movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
... View MoreThe film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
... View MoreLove this season; this is the feeling and soul of millions of Harley's Owners, and those enthusiasts who love this brand. Love the series, the beginnings, the creations, the races, the family, and those decisions that made & built the best motorcycles in the world... Not just only historical, but plenty of strategy, sweat and tears. It was enlightening how the way the company and the founders deal with the Indians, and the First World War. I just can't wait to see all that comes after those first years, and see the wild 60's and the critical 70's
... View MoreHarley and the Davidsons was an excellent film rendering based on the true story of the start and growth of the Harley Davidson MC covering over 30 years of its beginning. It was well-acted, the attention to detail, the spicy human interaction and complexities, along with, of course, the trials and tribulations of testing and losing and testing again until the Harley finally came into being, kept me glued. It was also interesting to see just how fast the motor industry exploded at the turn of the century, how many MC brands suddenly appeared and how crazy the world became over motorcycles. I think this is a very human story, quite inspiring and just easy to watch. And, having seen it, I want a Harley more than ever!
... View MoreThroughout this ... farce ... all you get are brief flashes of the bikes. The rest is nothing more than a soap opera. I'm waiting and waiting and waiting and ... no bikes! You get wall street thugs, bankers and Edsel Ford(?) ... a dead beat - thieving - son ... visits to an Asylum and the duck pond? Then there are the Davidson brothers ... sitting on their butts or doing other things, like meetings ... racing and parties. While Harley is doing all the design work? This is a tribute?They go under, a small matter of not patenting anything? Then ... magically ... they recover? Then Ford Co. tries to drive them into bankruptcy ... why?Somewhere in this mess, I lost the point of this series. Oh all the social 'food groups' were covered. Including the chick racer, riding what again? The outlaw groups ... really? I was expecting bikes ... HD's in particular, but it was not to be. No matter how much of my life (time) I gave up to watch this crap ... nothing. Oh a flash here ... a glimpse there. But nothing worthy of the time spend enduring the chickesque (sissy la-la) plot of this series made it worth watching.The series 'Then Came Bronson' was a way better representation of what HD is about. The Knuckle Head was/is a beautiful machine. I deserved a lot more than it got in this series.The commercials were better. Don't waist your time on this. If you have ... you have my condolences. If this is the best Discovery can do, then they need to stop 'doing it'. This should have started out with ... "Once upon a time ..."
... View MoreDid the makers of this mini-series only work on episodes 1 and 2? The only reason I ask this is because the 3rd installment seemingly forgets to address the cliffhanger that ends episode 2. H-D is in a damned if you do damned if you don't patent infringement case against other bike manufacturers and facing bankruptcy. However, instead of addressing how they emerged from this problem episode III starts off during the start of the Great Depression and says nary a word about the patent case. I could not find any reference to this case so it may have been made for dramatic effect but even so it should have been addressed in the story. I was also surprised that the film makers did not mention that Shrimp Burns dies in a motorcycle race. The final episode meanders through the pathos of the depression and Bill Harley's wife's illness but just can't match the feel and fun of the first two episodes that for me rank 8 and 7 out of 10 respectively.
