Movie Reviews of The Temptations
Movie Review: An Amazing Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me begin my saying that I'm not a movie guy. I only watch a handful of movies a year because I find most of them to recycle the same plots. Also, before this movie, I was not a Temptations fan- I was barely aware of them. Bored one day, I started watching VH1 and began to watch the movie...and was hooked. It's a gripping, emotional movie that captures the idealism of youth and the trials of fame. The character development is incredible and the acting is superb to the point where you think you're actually watching the Temptations themselves. The film-making is crisp: you'll see Paul favoring milk over alcohol on a tour bus with the whole Motown crew; it's a passing scene that lasts a second or two and it represents the innocence of the band members which didn't last long. There were numerous short scenes like this which spoke volumes about the character of the Temtations and how they changed. I just can't say enough about this movie and recommend it to all.Movie Review: classic
Summary: 5 Stars
I am well pleased with my DVD of the Temptations.
The Temptations is the greatest and all time favorite groups of all times. Inspite of their obstacles and tragedies, they overcame many hurdles and struggles and kept it together for years to come.
The Temptations has been magnificient and a superb talented soulful vocal group of the 60's 70's, 80's, and 90's.
This movie gave us unforgettable soulful sounds and excitement in their performances. They gave to the music world hits after hits. They showed amazing talents and showmanship, in originality, and in versatile on stage.
The Temptations music will always live in our hearts and mind. They brought us countless songs, to enjoy and to dance by and to treasure over years to come.
I will always enjoy the music that the Temptations has given to us, for a lifetime of memories Their music is truly a classic.
Thank you
Movie Review: There is only one Temptations movie I love more than this one...
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this movie when it first aired on network television. Most of the commercials were selling the movie in VHS or DVD format and I've always regretted not buying it then. I knew the price the would go down later, but never imagined the movie would be shortened in its re-release.
In this DVD version, which I own nevertheless, some of my favorite scenes were taken out: Eddie Kendricks performing during his solo career; Eddie and David performing "You're My Everything" -- my all-time favorite Temptations song!; and the New Year's Day scene was shortened. This scene provided the most insight into David Ruffin's character. He talked about being abused as a child.
It is still a wonderful movie, no doubt. It is just to my misfortune that I am unable to watch it without a little disappointment. I enjoyed every second of the original version so much.
Movie Review: Fabulous
Summary: 5 Stars
I am 32. I knew the Temptations by name and by some of their popular songs from my studies of music. This movie was a wonderful story of the "ups" and "downs" of a popular music group from beginning to end. I have seen it twice now and have purchased the DVD and will probably watch it again a few more times. It really made me a true fan of the Temptations and of Motown. David Ruffin was just so talented and his voice just seemed to be a perfect fit for the harmonies provided by the group. It made me sad to see him struggle with drugs. Melvin's arthritis, Paul's suicide and Eddie's Cancer were real heartbreakers. Otis tried to keep it all together through thick and thin. A group that had so much talent and energy and they all had to leave us except Otis. Again, the songs and performances were fabulous. A must buy for any Motown or Temptations fan.Movie Review: JUST MY IMAGINATION
