The Doors (DVD 2003)

'.... did you have a good world when you died? Enough to base a movie on?'
Jim Morrison certainly did!
His self-destructive personality is portrayed so well by Val Kilmer that sometimes you forget its not Morrison himself on the screen. The fantastic soundtrack also adds to the hedonistic atmosphere in many scenes, giving a real taste of the times.

This was to be the story of the band known as The Doors. Following them from their early days playing the Whiskey a go-go to the unfortunate death of their lead singer Jim Morrison.
Being quite an avid fan of The Doors i was quite disappointed by this film. Val Kilmer puts in a top preformance as Jim Morrison but is let down by the storyline on a factual level. If this is your first introduction to The Doors then this film is quite entertaining. But if you want a more honest insight into The Doors you'll be better off to read No One Gets Out Of Here Alive by Jerry Hopkins and Danny Sugarman which was what the film was ment to be based on.

Great film i'm a big fan of the doors a bought this dvd because i wanted to know more about the band and Mr Morrison as i wasn't born when the band became famous.

one wicked film, portraying life in the fast lane of jim morrison and the doors.
val kilmer plays the part of jim morrison very well with his own vocals.
a must for all fans

This is a really good film - Oliver Stone at his best. It really gives a sense of Jim Morrison's hedonistic lifestyle and 60's America in general. The music is brilliant of course and the tripping scenes are well done. But to fully appreciate the film you have to try and stop leching at Val Kilmer as Jim!
