Most helpful review The Punk Rock Movie

  • Messy

    Rated - 2.0 stars  
    By a customer from Manchester , 03 Aug 2008

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    For the most part, the picture quality is extremely poor. As is the audio. The captions detailing which band are playing and which song it is are erratic. The film has nothing to say and no direction to it at all. And for some reason there are two versions of Johnny Thunder's Chinese Rock, neither particularly good.

    But, if nostalgia's your thing, then this is 84 minutes of amusement. And the bonus interview with John Lydon is reasonably in-depth and entertaining.

  • Worth watching for the footage

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By a customer from Liverpool, England , 14 Jan 2011
    As some people have pointed out, the picture / sound quality is terrible in places, but what do you expect from hand-held Super 8 recordings? It probably won't win many converts but If you have any interest in Punk Rock then its worth watching given the dearth of footage from the era of bands like Eater, The Slits, Wayne County, Slaughter and the Dogs etc. And there are some good moments - Alternative TV apparently being given a Reggae lesson, Eater and the pig's head and Shane Macgowan pogoing around in a Union Jack blazer.

  • Cheap and Nasty

    Rated - 0.5 stars  
    By a customer from London , 20 Sep 2010
    Cheap and shoddy. Very poor film quality and almost non existant audio quality.Surely this footage could have been used to make something more rewarding than this nasty cash in. Shameful that the director saw fit to release this hugely disappointing piece of crap.

  • ok

    Rated - 2.0 stars  
    By a customer from Newtownabbey , 19 Nov 2008
    I actually didn't watch the whole of this documentary, but it seemed to be one for the hard core punk fan.

    I'm hard of hearing so I was disappointed there were no subtitles.
