I admit it, I never really liked this band. I am the same age as the guys in the band and grew up with a lot of the same experiences but I always thought their music was shallow and insignificant. I was a Clash guy, but.... THIS MOVIE ROCKS! I also admit my mates loved them and I was dragged into the big hair orbit on more than one occasion. This is a well told story about regrets,love, hedonism and music. About lost souls searching. about lost souls finding. All the performers were very capable and though I have not liked even one film previously done by this director, he did a very good job of capturing the energy and pacing of a rock n roll lifestyle. A fun ride but not for the squeamish.

Fmovies: I know a lot of the material wasn't in sequel. My god, quit complaining with the negative reviews. It was a two hour movie, not a mini series! Loved it. Worth the watch. 🤘🏼

I watched this last night with my husband. I don't know much about Motley Crue having grown up a child of the 90s, but I certainly want to read The Dirt now I've seen the film. It's a little bit cheesy in some scenes, but overall is an enjoyable film detailing the debaucherous and crazy antics of the band. Worth a watch!

The Dirt fmovies. Biopics revolving around classic bands have definitely become a fad these days, even though they have been around for decades. The Dirt is the latest in the long line of musical biopics and this time it's hitting Netflix. As Mötley Crüe isn't exactly one of the greatest bands of all time to many people, their music has absolutely resonated with many listeners. Not knowing anything about the lives of these four men before going in, I'm pleasantly surprised that this story had a lot more to offer than the average biopic. Still, it does follow the tired formula, but that's okay, because it's done quite well here.

Following Nikki Sixx, Vince Neil, Tommy Lee, and Mick Mars as they form an unlikely group of misfits, this band quickly shoots to superstardom, which ultimately leads to a life of sex, drugs, and rock n' roll. This premise has been done to death through the years, so the only thing to truly keep you interested in movies like this is the content itself. From car accidents to overdosing, this is a film that keeps you engaged from start to finish. Sadly, the material presented throughout the majority of the film is quite unlikeable, to say the least.

You can't help but be disgusted by the actions of most of these men, but the music and shocking turn of events is why you watch movies like this, so for that reason, it all blends together quite well. Still, many viewers will be turned off by this film in the first five minutes, guaranteed. If you're in for a wild ride with sometimes disturbing imagery, bordering on pornography or actual footage of heroin overdosing, then I think you'll enjoy the movie for what it is. When watching this film, it became clear to me why this film never hit theatres, but that's not because it was bad by any means.

Although Vince (the lead singer) is played up as the most unlikeable character throughout the majority of the film, Daniel Webber gave a terrific performance. I would love to see his career explode more than it already has, because I believe he has some real dramatic talent, just waiting to be showcased. On top of that, Iran Rheon is the most likeable actor here and Douglas Booth as Nikki Sixx was great as well. Surprisingly, the breakout performance here is actually from Machine Gun Kelly (Colson Baker). I never would have expected that, but his devotion to this character was a joy to watch.

In the end, The Dirt is absolutely defined by its title, because this is a film that showcases the grit and griminess of the rock n' roll underworld. That aspect alone will turn viewers off, but it's a very well-made movie nonetheless. This is by no means one of the better biopics out there, but it's an enjoy film and better than a lot of the content Netflix has been making, in terms of feature films. To fans of Mötley Crüe or fans of a good biopic in general, I would recommend checking this one out. It's fairly standard fare with some surprisingly elements throughout.

I got the book several years ago (the 10th anniversary edition) and loved it. While I was never a massive Motley Crue fan I grew up listening to metal in that era and was well aware of their notoriety. The book is a warts and all expose of the bands antics and off them as people. It's a fantastic read.

And there's the first problem. The film is 1 hour 40minutes long. Three hours probably wouldn't be enough to do the story justice. It feels rushed and the timelines of certain events become jumbled. And that leads to the second problem.

Certain key things in the book are glossed over. The recording of one entire album is ommited (Girl's, Girl's Girl's). The subsequent tour in the film is covered by a brief look at the band on a flight. This is the tour where the wheels really fell off. The Japanese part of the tour was completely ommited and shouldn't have been as by this point Tommy and Nikki were totally out of control. It was shortly after this part of the tour that Nikki overdosed but that wasn't the first time. His fall into an absolutely chronic heroin addiction feels rushed.

The film doesn't really show how they changed as people enough either. Reading the book to go from liking Nikki to disliking him to kind of liking him again. Vince comes across as a self obsessed dick most of the time up until a personal tragedy. The film doesn't do enough to capture this but then doesn't have time to.

Lastly This is a film about one of the most debauched bands ever. Yes the film shows sex, groupies and drug taking, but it still felt sanitised. They left a lot of stuff out. Definitely a missed opportunity.

Overall it feels rushed. Credit for the portrayals of Sixx and Tommy though. If you know nothing of the band or very little then you'd probably like it. If you've read the book you might like me be a bit disappointed. It would have been better if it was twice as long. A shame I had been really looking forward to this.

If you like the band, you'll like the movie. Much better than I was expecting.
