Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

To be fair about this: I skimmed though the film and it not my "style". BUT the film looks like a good film for those that like surfing, skateboarding, biographies or for a fan of Heath Ledger (RIP).From what I saw of this film - I think it's a good biography if you are interested in the story of these guys, the Z-Boys. I for one am not interested in surfing or skateboarding but that does not mean this film is bad - that just mean it's not a film for me.I acquired this film in a Heath Ledger film pack and I have nothing against the film, the cast, the Z-Boys or anything else - it's just not my my type film.5/10

This is a really great movie with a sad story of friends having a passion for skating but letting fame come in between them. In my opinion, this is a very underrated movie. The film included significant events that made skating what it is today, which is a bonus to me, especially since I skated a lot. I think the actors deserve much praise as well. To me, they made the movie seem not like movie at all, that Z skaters were just being filmed during their glory days, but I'm not in any way saying that the production was botched, just very good acting. After seeing the movie rating this movie 9 out 10 seemed right. If this film were become perfect it would need to be remastered for quality.

"Lords of Dogtown" was a really great movie, it did a good job of telling the story of the Z-Boys and keeping the viewer interested in the movie. The acting was great and Heath Ledger was a good addition. As the movie progressed it got somewhat dry at portions, but picked back up. It was visually pleasing with great angles, and the whole look and demeanor of the characters really represented the movement of the time period. Overall I recommend this movie if you are a fan of skateboarding or biographical movies about popular culture figures. I rated 6 out of 10 just for the reason that there are portions of the movie that become slightly less interesting. Tony Hawk was a funny addition considering what he does. - Christian J.

I recognised the title of the film, but I had no idea what the story was about, or that it is based on true events. Basically it is all about a group of brilliant young skateboarders, known as the Z-Boys, raised in the mean streets of Dogtown in Santa Monica, California. They are perfecting their techniques in empty swimming pools of unsuspecting suburban homeowners, pioneering a thrilling new sport and taking part in skateboard contests. Starring The Girl Next Door's Emile Hirsch as Jay Adams, Victor Rasuk as Tony Alva, John Robinson as Stacy Peralta, Michael Angarano as Sid, Nikki Reed as Kathy Alva, Heath Ledger as Skip, Rebecca De Mornay as Philaine, Johnny Knoxville as Topper Burks, Ugly Betty's America Ferrera as Thunder Monkey, the real Jay Adams as Party Guest, the real Tony Alva as Oregon Man at Party, Charles Napier as Nudie, the real Stacy Peralta as TV Director, Tony Hawk as Astronaut, Alexis Arquette as Tranny, and a special appearance by YouTube star Tillman the skateboarding bulldog. For me the only good reason to see this film is for some familiar faces, the skateboarding tricks and a pretty good soundtrack, that's about it. Worth watching!
