All the lyrics in the world could not save this movie

Rating: 4/10 (22 September 2007)

This is not a good movie. I watched this film upon its release and as a young man and enjoyed a look at the rock star lifestyle it portrayed. Having watched it recently i was surprised at how bad the script actually is. Every word that comes out of Kilmer's mouth is a regurgitated Doors lyric. Who speaks in poetry? I do not think Morrison was such a fool as is shown. There is also the fact that Stone uses The Doors as an outlet for his imagination. He falsifies one hell of a lot of Morrison's life to make the film impact upon the viewer. The concept that Patricia Kennealy chased after Morrison as early as 1967 is false. They did not actually meet until 1969. There is much more that the avid viewer should know about this movie, and it should be researched before mentioning what a great film this is.
