It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
... View MoreAt first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
... View MoreThe movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
... View MoreMostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
... View MoreI was not interested in watching a drama about bikers. The whole affair smelled of a testosterone soaked soap opera for men. Something for a bunch of weak wannabes to chew on and get off on. I only have it a chance because I read a review of Animal Kingdom that mentioned that that show filled the void that this one left. At that time, that was my vote for the best show of this type. I grew up with outlaw bikers in my family and felt that Hollywood couldn't possibly get it right. The writer of this show must have had some inside knowledge because...with the exception of some of the melodrama like baby Abel being kidnapped and a few other things...the show is very accurate. I know they had to keep coming up with situations to keep the show interesting but much of this really happens. The code...the old ladies...the gunrunning and drug dealing...the murders...you name it. I will add that the crooked cops tend to be as violent as the bikers. That is something that the show goofs on. However, I was hooked and binge watched the entire catalog in a couple of days depriving myself of much sleep and social interaction. I couldn't find many places to break.I conclude in saying that I felt like I was watching real life events unfold almost like a documentary. Hunnam, Perlman and Hurst are excellent. It was a hard swallow to realize that Opie was Gerry from Remember The Titans. Wow!Excellent. 20 stars or more!

It is more like watching a car accident... not pleasent but you can not stop watching.
... View MoreStarting on a positive note. SOA, I feel, has an amazing cast , especially the roles played by Katy Sagel , Maggie Siff, Charlie Hunam, and Tommy Flannagen. Not including Hunam, theses actors have not played big roles before this series. The emotional investment and dedication towards their roles makes the audience believe them, hate them, and love them at the same time, until seasons 5. Then the plot takes an ugly turn, not bra cause of the endless torture scenes, the massacres, and the countless head shots committed by the club, but because of the motive. Up until season 5, despite the brutal murders consistently committed by Jax Teller (Hunam), you began n to root for him because of his drive to bring the SOA out of gun running and drug dealing. (Spoiler) this results in him eventually killing his own dad in order to put his club and family in a better direction. Nevertheless, (spoiler #2) when Gema (Sagel) brutally murders Tara, Jax's wife, and covers up her act, jax goes off the handle of sanity, as he literally sabatages every single thing that he has taught so long to build. He severes ties with every affiliation, and loses many close to him as a result, (spoiler) ultimately discovering that his vengeance for blood is misdirected and assumed because of the truth being his mother who killed Tara. You actually begin to resent the main character that you loved prior. He uses little motive to ruin everything. I feel that if it weren't for a ridiculous, unrealistic, and depressing (in all the wrong ways) ending to the 7 season series, I would have rated this a fat 10/10. I walk away glad that I watched it because the side elements and cast being the best I have ever seen in a TV series but I'm left with a sour taste in my mouth for how everything ends.
