Movie Reviews of Kiss Loves You
Movie Review: Amazingly well done
Summary: 5 Stars
I think this video is very well done. It is, basically, a circular review of the tribute bands (Strutter, Hotter Than Hell, etc.) AND, most importantly, how the original Kiss members, despite the rhetoric of "we'd do anything for the fans," ends up being, truthfully, requoted as "We'd do anything for the fans. . .as long as their is a dollar in it for US." Be forwarned, when you watch how Kiss goes to one of the conventions, and, in front of everybody, starts to take back "their" stuff, throwing it in boxes, claiming it was stolen from them. While that is true, couldn't they have waited until the closing of the convention, and gone in, with the police, after hours, and stocked up on the stolen goods INSTEAD of doing it in front of the fans--who didn't know it was stolen? When Paul is given a plaque by a little 4 year old boy, and then leaves the wooden plaque behind, on the sound board, it looks REALLY bad. . .You will no longer see Kiss for the super-heroes they want people to believe they are. . .but sadly, you see them as fractured humans, in love of money and fame, whose real drive is not music, nor the dream they gave hundreds of fans of "believing in themselves" but whose real drive is the almightly dollar. There are no more loyal fans than Kiss fans; this video is VERY well done. . .but beware: poetic justice is served to all of us fans on a BIG FAT PLATE of arrogance. Sad. . .but MANY Kiss fans, who in one way or another, have felt jilted by the band, will identify with the contents of this video. Remember, they are human, too, and to look-up to 4 flawed humans, will only deliver spoiled pie. Well done. 5 stars out of 5 Stars.Movie Review: Great documentary!
Summary: 5 Stars
Purchasing this DVD, the subject matter seemed intriguing, but i had low expectations, overall.
However, after viewing, i came away extremely impressed with the film & 8th grade films.
The footage of Todd Youth in his Hell's kitchen (literally), and Dick Manitoba were worth the price alone, yet this well paced & thought out documentary provided so much more.
The rivalry between two top KISS tribute bands was fascinating & mirrored the fractured relationships in the actual KISS.
Ace Frehley fanatic, Baker, had an interesting story of his own, with his real life bond with his hero & the subsequent rejection he endured.
Simmons & Stanley raiding an innocent Kiss convention like the NYPD illustrates just how much these members truly cherish their beloved army of followers.
All in all, a great viewing of the troubled relationships between fans & their heroes, and the connection that binds them together.
The extras are loaded on the DVD, as well, with some rare 1976 footage of Kiss tearing it up in their heyday.
Recommended!
Movie Review: Excellent Schlockumentary
Summary: 5 Stars
I say that as a compliment: this expertly edited and "come full circle" document of a group of KISS fans, their trials and tribulations with the outside world and with each other- is filmed so deftly, and it is absolutely hilarious. The satire is not lost, even for someone who might not be a fan of the band, but anyone who is a fan and has waded these waters might see themselves in the film.....I hope we see more from this filmaker- highly reccomended.*****Movie Review: By the fans, for the fans.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent well-made documentary. I was not expecting that at all. It left me with an empty shallow feeling, but sometimes that's just how life is. If you consider yourself a KISS fan, you need to watch this documentary. It will make you see KISS from the perspective of true KISS fans. There is no happy "hollywood" ending here, you might even start to dislike KISS after watching this, but you'll definitely feel something for the fans.Movie Review: Really enjoyed this!
Summary: 5 Stars
I truly enjoyed watching this film..for both Kiss fans and non-kiss fans alike. One can only watch with amazement the lengths some rabid fans will go for their idols. This movie manages to be both hilarious and touching at the same time..Highly recommended!
