Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

ThiefHott Too much of everything

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

sandy-340 I understand that a band - especially a few cute guys playing instruments - with lots of pictures documenting their experiences recording some songs is catnip to hungry music aficionados. But I honestly don't get it... this documentary is more about a bunch of people surrounding a few of these guys who recorded some mediocre songs, had a couple of songs recognized by great songwriters like Elliott Smith, etc. But the story is a jumbled telling of a couple of guys who accomplished almost nothing, who joined in at one point with a guy who was a one-hit wonder. Kind of boring....

felix-felixscaketeria Really bored this evening and decided to watch this documentary which turned out to be both tragic, and heartwarming....bittersweet. It was just heartbreaking to see their journey, with big dreams and great material, turn into their broken dreams which would later inspire thousands of fans and dozens of musical acts. Really beautifully done.

T-Rex1 Being a voracious consumer of rock music during the 1970's and having a pretty good grip on the major and minor players of the era, unfortunately I have to say that "Big Star" just wasn't very good. And I also remember the opinions of rock critics were usually out of sync with what most people were buying records of and tickets to see back then, so it should come as no surprise that they would try to spin some superlative filled sleep inducing documentary to fulfill their need to show us all how wrong we were. Sorry critics, it still goes right over your little heads. This is a condescending little foray into what was a fantastic decade of music, in spite of whether the critics approved or not.

Taylormetzer A good watch if you are fond of a bunch of skinny guitar strum mere of the beatnik generation trying to imitate The Beatles or Led Zeppelin. These rockers say F U to the establishment in girly skinny jeans fashion. Features local artists in the 1960's looking to make a world of difference in rockabilly influenced style. Takes place in the late 1960's in the Nixon Vietnam era of U.S. History. I'm not too sure if it includes much of an account of pet sounds or Sgt. Pepper in the likes of the documentary, one can imagine an account of the flower pedal influences in the world would be mentioned in this film. I don't consider the Big Star Story to have much of a spot in U.S. Rock N' Roll history, but some might have a contended thought. Fender and Gibson guitar adores May like this film. It has an array of sound and imagery, but that's enough for me.
