Movie Reviews of The Temptations
Movie Review: Highly entertaining
Summary: 5 Stars
I just love the tempatations and always have, I was born in Detroit when some of their hits were being produced. I now live in Europe, but when I hear them I almost get goose-bumps, I get in the best mood, a definite natural high. I share a love of this group with people everywhere, starting from my grandmother and going down. The movie supposedly tells their story, with a few alterations that is. It shows how success messed up some of their lives and how for others although, it made them very happy, there were still some more important elements missing in their lives. It's a good, long story with lots of music and drama. I only wish they had gone on making music together for a longer time and with less problems of all sorts. They were so good and blended in so well together. They'll always be a soul legend.Movie Review: Excellent movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a really good movie. I found out certain things in the movie that I didn't know,like how cocky David Ruffin was and I didn't know that he was fired. He wanted it to be all about him. In th beginning it was funny because Otis Williams wanted to talk to Melvin Franklin about joining his group since they needed a bass singer and Otis got his attention and Melvin started running and Otis went after him and they even ran around a car, When Otis caught up to him he explained and Melvin was running from him because he thought that he was trouble. They went through group line-ups and Eddie Kendricks ended up leaving. At the end I fekt like crying because everybody ha died except Otis. They were together in the beginning but they didn't end that way.Movie Review: The Temptations
Summary: 5 Stars
Musically oriented filmmaker Allan Arkush directs this fine biopic which tracks the legendary career of The Temptations. One of R&B's most influential, revered bands, the five men enjoyed overnight success and helped define the Motown period. Like many other success stories, though, this one has a dark side -- with self-destructive impulses and personal problems threatening to destroy the band's reign. In addition to capturing the drama of the group's rise and fall, THE TEMPTATIONS features eight of the classic songs which made them legendary, including "My Girl," "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone," and "Get Ready." This movie is absolutely wonderful. The amazing acting, wonderful storyline, and admirable tear-jerker ending. You'll love this classic.
Movie Review: AWESOME!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow!! This DVD is awesome. I have watched it quite a few times since receiving. Yes, it's a story of The Temptations but it's more than just a story...these guys were, and still are, a masterpiece in music. They conquered odds unlike anything you see today and they did it with dignity and pride. Yes, there were times when things went a bit haywire but the group maintained it's level of great music and entertainment. The acting is superb! The songs they perform bring back such good memories.
This is one DVD that will remain in my collection forever. If you're a fan of Motown you'll love this DVD. If you're not a fan, you will be one after watching this.
To The Temptations: Thanks for giving us the best music ever!
Movie Review: ONE MORE GOOD RATING!
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this movie for the second time...just tonight. I really enjoy this movie. It has such great casting...the Temptations characters come alive....and I cried when I watched several of the Temptations pass on....I often wondered over the years what happened to the original men in the group. The music is great, full songs, not just partial ones. I always loved this group...and I felt like I was being transported back to the 60's when I grew up!! Music doesn't get any better than this!! Their music transcends race, and age. They truly did tell their stories and display their true souls when they sang. If you are or were a fan of these great singers and/or the Motown sound, you owe it to yourself to watch this movie!!
