the Doors/Jim Morrison - mesmerizing

Rating: Null/10 (21 April 2003)

alright. i've just finished watching the movie again for the nth time, and was reminded just how THE DOORS ROCKS! the band, that is. viewers are informed at the endcredits that the film is _based_ on actual events that occurred that time. the film's makers never claimed that twas a _true and accurate_ account of the Doors/Jim Morrison's life. however, as a movie _about_ the Doors/Jim, it is entertaining and mesmerizing what with all the cinematic scenes and Doors' music and Jim's poetry here and there. Val gives a splendid performance -- Jim Morrison to _perfection_. hats off to Oliver Stone for his outstanding tribute to Jim, Ray, Robby and John!
