Movie Reviews of The Doors [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Good, But Could Have Been A Lot Better...
Summary: 4 Stars
This film somewhat disappointed me. I walked away from this film thinking that Jim Morrison was an alcoholic jerk who cared only about himself. Thankfully, soon after watching this movie I read 'No One Here Gets Out Alive' and I have come to see a better picture of the true Jim Morrison.
It seems as if Hollywood is only interested in the abusive side of Morrison and not the more down-to-earth side of Morrison. Oliver Stone made Jim's character so one dimensional... and this is a serious flaw in a movie that is based, for the mostpart, on one man.
That being said, Val Kilmer plays a GREAT Jim Morrison. The movie has many fantastic parts: the making of 'Light My Fire', the cinematography in Jim's desert peyote scene, the Miami concert.
It is a great film to watch, but definitely read 'No One Here Gets Out Alive' if you want to understand the more human side of Jim Morrison.
4/5
Summary of The Doors [Blu-ray]
Widescreen/Blu Ray. Rated R. Jim Morrison (Val Kilmer), one of the most sensual and exciting figures in the history of rock and roll, explodes on the screen in The Doors, the electrifying movie about a time called the sixties and a legendary outlaw who rocked America's consciousness - forever. Director: Oliver Stone. Featuring Val Kilmer, Meg Ryan, Kyle MacLachlan, Frank Whaley, Kevin Dillon. 7.1 DTS HD Master Audio (English). Commentary with director Oliver Stone. Deleted scenes, two featurettes (The Doors in LA', Jim Morrison: An American Poet in Paris).Thanks in large part to its meticulous re-creation of the late 1960s and early 1970s rock scene and the uncannily authentic performance by Val Kilmer as legendary Doors front man Jim Morrison, Oliver Stone's hypnotic film biography is standing the test of time. Capturing the carefree mood of the Age of Aquarius, the film charts the meteoric rise of the Doors on the California club circuit (including a memorable scene showing the creation of the hit "Light My Fire"), and chronicles the band's exploits with hallucinogenics and Morrison's battles against charges of public indecency on stage. Kilmer's performance is hauntingly perfect, and performances by Meg Ryan, Kathleen Quinlan, and Kyle MacLachlan are similarly impressive. The movie doesn't fully probe the depths of Morrison's character, but as a portrait of excess it is vividly true to the spirit of the self-destructive poet known to his fans as "The Lizard King." --Jeff Shannon
