Motley Crue Week: Open Review Thread

Today is the day! The Dirt is finally out via Netflix. I won't be able to watch the movie until tonight so a review will be a little delayed. #SorryIHaveToWork

Let's use this space as an open forum for reviews. Feel free to post your review in the comments section. I suggest not reading other people's reviews until you've seen the film yourself. Don't cloud your judgement!

For now, my fave Motley Crue track: "Danger"

I think the soundtrack to this film is gonna make you wish the band still put out music! I have a soft spot for "Merry-go-round" ally-kat
the new songs are freaking AMAZING!
I`m gonna go out on a limb here... the 2 new songs would have fit nicely on "Motley Crue 94" if Vince was in the band. *ducks*
I'm indifferent on the Madonna track... yea its cool
but the 2 new songs fuckin ROCK!
Mick Mars is a guitar god! his spine may be fucked up but his fingers are legendary. his riffs are cool as hell!
the song "crash and burn" gave me chills the first time i heard it.. once again Mick fuckin nails it

For the one who asked on another thread, Yes, this movie absolutely deserves an NC-17 rating. And since my son is 17.5....but I'm not sure if I should watch it with him. But I probably will, when he's 30yo.

Just watched the "day in the life of Tommy Lee" part. I spit out my drink laughing so hard when he was as the strip joint. Wait for it... #nospoilers

Loved it!!! 4.5**** out of 5 *****

Wish they didn’t skip the Too Fast For Love album. But I guess it can’t be a 3 hour movie.

Vince Neil constantly reminded me of Jeff Spicoli from Fast Times Lol. DLR’s character was bloody hilarious.

Actors did well. No complaints.

Overall it represented our generation phenomenal! Sex drugs n Rock n Roll. It’d be great if they included other bands from the scene but that’s me being greedy (and it wasn’t in the book). Nobody cares except us.

Hope it does well

Ok, just a few quick thoughts since I decided to watch the movie old school style (a little buzzed!). Absolutely loved it! Kixchjx, my wife and I kept saying the same thing about Spicolli throughout the movie, especially the scene by the pool. Damn, the little girl who played Skylar was fantastic! Machine Gun Kelly's enthusiastic Tommy Lee portrayal was spot on! I was actually kind of waiting for a Nikki Sixx - Executive Producer credit to pop up at he end. And I don't mean that to rank on Nikki (as many do) I just thought it was a very Nikki-centric flick. Overall, loved it. Probably watch it again tomorrow.

Loved it.. Yes, it's definitely an adult movie, but a PG Crue movie would be a joke.. I also really liked the end credits (won't spoil it, but it's good).

I actually loved the movie. I liked the "speak to the camera" and narration in the movie, they pulled that off surprisingly well. I also liked how they did a backstory type thing with each band member and blended that in with them starting the band and the Too Fast For Love era.
They seemed to focus on the major major events like the Ozzy tour (my favorite part), Vinces car crash, Skylers death, and Nikki overdosing. As a diehard fan I couldn't help but notice they left out very little things but I guess that's just me being nitpicky, although I would've loved it if they elaborated more on the Corabi era and included the Generation Swine and New Tattoo era and ended the movie there just like the book. With that they could've done the "where are they now" thing in the credits saying that they played and toured for ten years after they reunited later on. But anyway I really loved the movie, I think it really stayed true to the story and accurately depicted the band, the music, and the era.
