Movie Reviews of Woodstock - 3 Days of Peace & Music (The Director's Cut)
Movie Review: At heart,It's not really about the music
Summary: 1 Stars
Well,
this film is something of a 'curate's egg'.... As a reminder of the hippy scene of the late 60's it delivers. [Although looking back now, the 'scene' seems hilariously self-absorbed and frankly cringe inducing in places].As a social documentary,I'd give it 4 stars at least
But as a concert film it is dull, too 'chopped up' and not really worth buying for repeat viewing. For example,the butchered set of Hendrix was played over footage of all the rubbish being cleared up....hmm
So if you're primarily a music lover,in particular if you like full un-interrupted song footage,I suggest you rent this and buy something else instead
All together now- 'no rain,no rain,no rain....'!
Movie Review: A Director's Cut Gone Wrong: Buy The CD Instead
Summary: 1 Stars
As a non-drug user who remembers the concert, saw the theatrical version of the film in 1970, and has worn out records and tapes of the music, I was hoping to relive the visual experiences of the concert when I purchased this dvd. Unfortunately, the Director's Cut has butchered the original film. Scenes and performances have been altered, all for the worse. This dvd will sit on the shelf, and I will continue to listen to the cd. The Director's cut is revisionist at best.
Update--1 July 2008: If this review was not helpful to you, I would appreciate learning the reason(s) so I can improve my reviews. My goal is to provide help to potential buyers, not get into any arguments. So, if you only disagree with my opinion, could you please say so in the comments and not indicate that the review was not helpful. Thanks.
Movie Review: Excellent Film and have a question(?)
Summary: 5 Stars
I had the privalege to attend the original release in 1970. At the time, as a promotion, Warner Bros. handed out a Woodstock booklet. The movie is a really great look into what the sixties were all about.
I have in my possession a booklet "hand-out" that was given
out to (I guess) the first so many people to see the movie
Woodstock by WB, released in 1970. The book contains pictures,
poems, artwork, and by now...history.
The book is approx. 8 1/2" x 11", in full color, has 48 pages.
Some of the photos contained include Jimi Hendrix, Santana,
Country Joe and The Fish, Richie Havens, The Who, Joe Cocker,
and others. A couple of the pictures were also used on/in the
Woodstock Album of the same era. This book is in excellent
condition and has been well cared for for thirty-eight years.
Can anyone supply a value for said book? Does anyone have any information to share about this booklet?
Thankyou! -Ken
Movie Review: Great Video/history but........
Summary: 4 Stars
when I received this product it was scrathed on side 2.
This was NOT supposed to be a used item...returning it would mean a huge headache, so I kept it.
Other than that the music/artist and concert goers brought me back to 1969.
I only wish my parents were hippies and I could have gone. I was 10 and would've loved and did love rock music in 1969.
If only some of those musicians what have made it through without losing their life. What a different world music would've been.
Movie Review: An event to remember!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Woodstock: The Directors Cut" is something everyone should experience. It provides hope that people can get along and have a great time if we all choose to get back to basics and LIVE peace!
