Couldn't finish it

Rating: Null/10 (31 August 2005)

I listen to the Doors on occasion whenever they're on the radio. I like some of their music but I wouldn't classify myself as a fan. I'm also not a big fan of the 60's-70's. I think to enjoy this movie you need to be either a Doors fanatic or someone totally enamoured of the 60s & early 70s.
Watching this movie was quite a snoozer for me. Couldn't make it past the candle-lit witch meeting. The scenes seemed to go on forever. The antics of Morrison (Kilmer) made me think this guy was a self-absorbed, selfish, pitiful guy who took it out on everyone else and thus destroyed himself.
Maybe that was the point, but I didn't want to sit for 2+ hours watching it being relentlessly shown on screen from different angles. I guess Bart Simpson was right about showbizness. "Repetitiveness is my job... my job... repetitiveness is my job!"
