    I've forgotten why I ever liked this movie. In fact I've forgotten why I ever liked Jim Morrison

    Excellent film. Really enjoyed to see how they started out and how jim morrisons drug use influenced the band in both good and bad ways. Well directed by stone. Enjoyed more if you know a bit about the doors music.

    A biopic about jim morrison and the doors, from the beginning of his carrer to his untimely death, I like this film more for the music than the film content and as I dont know much about the doors it was a good start point, worth a look.

  • Essentially boring

    Rated - 2.0 stars

    Same old story - beautiful young man discovers music, fame, fortune and drugs and goes to the bad. I didn't feel as if this film added anything to the mix. The music's good but I could have listened to that without having to watch the film.

  • The Doors

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By a customer from Sheffield , 24 Nov 2008
    The dialogue in the film is minimal, it mainly consists of music and performances. It isn't really a story of The Doors, it more tells the story of Jim Morrisson during the time of The Doors.

    I'm not sure how accurate it is but apparantely the remaining Doors were not happy with the final product although they were consulted for it. It definitely isn't flattering to Jim Morrisson.

    If you like the music of The Doors it is worth watching for that but you don't really learn too much about the band.

    Good in terms of biography or a musical legend but difficult to follow in parts and got very bored with all the drugs
