Summary: 1 Stars
The footage of the Stones' working sessions is great. I loved watching and listening to the metamorphosis of that great song. But Jean-Luc Godard's interspersed, incoherent "cultural revolution" playlets with the little pinball Love Grrl and the Black Panthers...I can't describe how utterly awful it is. There's something wrong with the fast-forward button on our dvd player remote, so I went to the tv and pressed the fast forward on the player to get through these parts after the first two bits. Needless to say, I ended up sitting in front of the player, a foot from the TV, so I wouldn't have to see any more of these parts. Won't somebody please edit this movie down to a great 15 minutes of Stones in session, please. I'd add a couple of stars for that.Movie Review: Save your money & time
Summary: 1 Stars
My rating is a big fat zreo. The Stones fiddle around with the song off and on but never really get it going. Brian Jones is allbut invisable. The social commentary that is interspersed throughout was probably cool at some point in time but I've seen it all come and go. My remote was working, and I used it a lot.
I'm still looking for something really good by the Stones on DVD, VHS whatever and have yet to find it. I saw them in 1971 and they were decent but didn't really leave that much of an impression as a live band.
Movie Review: Ah, yes, the Stones...
Summary: 1 Stars
I was very disappointed, not only because of the hype and "mystique" surrounding this film and it's director, but also because it gives us a very clear view of how absolutely marginal the talent of the Stones as a band was/is. Save your money, or watch it at your friend's house - you'll only need to see it once, if you can sit through it at all...Movie Review: 1 Stars
Poorly edited scenes of the band, with interjections of absurd sociological clips, accompanied with poorly recorded readings of pulp fiction.
