I really thought this movie did a great job at telling the story that is Motley Crue. [spoiler] I remember when the car wreck happened, I remember when Nikki died and I remember how controversial they were.[/spoiler] The 80's were a crazy time and this movie did a great job at representing those excesses. I would highly recommend it.

Let me preface this by saying I'm a Crüe fan, since I think this movie is something completely different for newcomers.

I read the book only 6 years ago, though. It's hard to condense such a big meaty book into 107 minutes, so obviously I wanted to see much more (Tommy in jail, Mr. Udo, you name it). The good thing is that the movie didn't drag at all, it felt like 15 minutes. The kids' performances were great, with Machine Gun Kelly shining as Tommy and Iwan Rheon portraying Mick's grumpiness and wisdom to a T. I was let down with Douglas Booth's acting, though. He showcased only a lil bit of Nikki's charisma and stage prescence, and since Nikki is the "central character" in the band, the whole film suffered. Also, whoever played Ozzy was incredible, felt like the real him and not just an actor.

The use of music was amazing, each scene relating perfectly to a song. I even liked the modern cover version of "Live Wire".

Overall, it could have been a better film but it's not a dissappointment either.

jeesh that was bad. felt like I was watching Spinal Tap 2. bad wigs, bad acting, bad story telling, poorly stitching it all together, you name it. and this is coming from a huge fan who grew up on the crue back in the day. I really hope the kids who didn't get to experience it all back then like I did don't watch this pile of crap and think this is really what it was like back then. the band was a million percent better and less cheesy than this "movie" makes them appear.

33:47 Concert shot. Why at a Shout At The Devil show, are there people in the audience with a Girls x3 era tees on, another person with a Theater Of Pain Tee as well as someone wearing a Dr. Feelgood Alister Fiend tee?
I liked it. I wasnt WOW about it. [spoiler] Even if they hated the Theater Of Pain era. something more than just one scene should have been done [/spoiler]
I liked how they used a few clips from Uncensored. At the end of the film.
Im still a fan of theirs, have been since Theater Of Pain came out. But Im more into the stuff from the Pre Gen Swine days.

...Just like eeeevery night, has its daaaa-ahhh-awwwn...Just like eeevery cowboy, sings his sad..sad song...yeah eeeeevvery musiciiiannn has a filmmmmmm...yeah it does

Whiskey, coke and bitchz. And coke off bitchz asses. Im really glad the wild 80’s rock band was represented without any deplorable 2019 woke influences. Probably explains the poor Rottentomatoes score, but for the genuine lover of film and 80’s rock, this is a hit!

Fans of the group will probably enjoy it more than non-fans like myself. Though even as a film, it could have better, with a clearer narrative and a shorter running time to maintain interest.

Not a favorite band of mine, but the movie is a fun ride.

Terrible acting, but maybe that was per the director? Great start, but then it got really dark, but that was the story, so that’s how it goes.

There's something about this film that if you grew up in the 70s/80s, were a fan of this band, had anything to do w/ this scene, and/or simply followed their ongoing antics in the news, it'll likely hit a sweet spot for you. The producers did a great job of getting the look and feel right and portraying these musicians as real people, instead of some enchanted version of them that many fans tend to project upon their idols. These were real people w/ real problems that caused a good deal of harm to a lot of people but ultimately found their footing and realized that while some things we do may hurt others, there are things that can happen to us that feel just as awful. Case in point, [spoiler]the death of Vince Neil's daughter, Skylar, was unlike anything he'd ever experienced before, even the death of his friend, Razzle.[/spoiler] I think that the film handled this appropriately and showed that loss happens to us all, no matter how much money or fame is accrued.

The fucking Mötley Crue: sex, drugs and rock and roll.
