Movie Reviews of Tommy
Movie Review: Tommy Is The Greatest!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to say that the best parts of Tommy have to be the songs. I just saw this dvd recently and I was interested how the whole movie was all singing, and no talking. I had never seen anything like it before. It just goes from one good song to the next. And you can't miss Elton John as the Pinball Wizard. Also included in Tommy are Tina Turner as the Acid Queen, Eric Clapton as the Preacher, and Jack Nicholson as the Specialist. I think that Roger Daltrey does a great performance as Tommy as well. Overall, Tommy has to be five stars. Buy it today and you'll want to watch it over and over again.Movie Review: Incredible, But Not For Everyone
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is indeed very good, almost as good as the stage version. The Who did a great job concocting this masterpiece, and even better, it was packed full of 70's icons. From Elton John to Tina Turner, this all star cast brings this movie to life and Roger Daltery plays a breath-taking Tommy. However, this is not for everyone. If you have to completely understand whats happening in a movie to enjoy it, this might not be for you, especially the Acid Queen scene where Tina Turner plays an awesome drug addict. Overall, a great movie from a great musical by a great band.Movie Review: Missing the point
Summary: 5 Stars
Actually, when I first saw Tommy in the theatre (I was a bit of an Elton John freak), I didn't know what to make of it, either. I thought it was just an abstract, heavily symbolic film. Later, I learned that it was a SATIRE on the abstract, heavily symbolic films of its time. When you've got someone like Ken Russell directing it, you know it's going to be rather far-out. And that was the whole idea.This is easily the most whacked-out movie I have ever seen. It's also one of my favorites. If you watch it with a sense of humor, it's a lot more enjoyable.
Movie Review: Best Film Ever Made!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
After watching Tommy, I was absolutely blown away. Every single part of the film conveyed a different and important message and the music was amazing. In addition, the cinematography and editing are brilliant and at times psycodelic. The only reason people give this bad reviews is because they are too shallow to understand the deep meanings behind each scene or because they are ideologue Christians who refuse to realize the horrors and hipocricies of their religion.Movie Review: Still Relevant
Summary: 5 Stars
To be honest, I only wanted to buy this movie because I am a fan of Oliver Reed. It certainly didn't disappoint in that respect.
To be truthful, I'm not really sure that I "get" this movie; and I really am not sure that I want to. However, it was entertaining to watch with my sister, and although the sets, costumes, & other design date the production, the imagery and initial message still seem to hold up.
