I'm not one for movies that are basically VH1 biopics, but this one looks somewhat interesting.

However, the worst drug trip of my life was to the soundtrack of Dr Feelgood (ironically) so I am not sure I could watch this without bad flashbacks.

Home Sweet Home is one of my fav power ballads of all time. I wore out the cassette on that song.

This won't be a movie unless we see Tommy Lee's giant crooked dong.

Meh, underwhelming. This needed to be like a mini series or something. It seems like it's just rushing to the end.

It had its moments, some really good one liners.
"...Dont bring your girlfriend to see Motley Crue, they will fuck her..."

Yeah, I enjoyed it. It was never going to cover every little detail, they glossed over Vince being out of the band for years etc, but it was a fun watch.

Yea it wasn't much of a biopic because they tried to jam 20 years worth of stories into this one movie. It was fine for what it was, and I love motley crue so just the music kept me interested. But the pacing was off and everything felt very rushed so they could fit it all in, which made every scene kind of forgettable. You go from meeting Tommy Lee's girlfriend (who's getting fucked by Nikki Six) to them announcing their engagement to him punching his fiance in the face in 3 scenes. And the entire movie was like that. It felt more like a simple series of events rather than a cohesive story.

Definitely a very cut rate production. I also expected a lot more sleaze than was really present in the film.

Yeah, but what they had was worth it in this current era of bullshit that hollywood puts out there.

I liked this and agree with most of what was said above. The thing about this movie to me is if you aren't/weren't a fan of the band I dont think you would like this very much.

Shout at the devil was the first rock record my mom bought me at like 6 (i was listening to children music before that, so it blew my mind). They got some cheese songs and got caught in the glam shit. But songs like Looks that kill, and Shout at the devil etc are kick ass songs.

Loved the movie, having read both the dirt and Heroine diaries.

And i want a Tommy as a friend haha

Only guy i dont like is Vince, fucker should be in Jail for what he did to the Hanoi Rocks dude. He killed a dude because of alcohol and now owns a tequila brand, smh.

Saw this today.

I think I may have actually enjoyed it more than Bohemian Rhapsody.

It was a lot grittier, and that's what I want from my rock superstar movie. And the crazy part is I'm sure this depiction was still tame.

Edit: Also, holy shit, the guy who played Tommy Lee is Machine Gun Kelly?
