Loved this movie! I saw it at an Imax Theater which gave it more impact. Showed Keith Richards vulnerable side. "She was Hot" got me all fired up. Buddy Guy was just amazing!

Did not go in with expecting much. What are you going to show me that I haven't seen before ? Thankfully, I was caught off guard in a good way. I was taken out of my seat by force and pushed up on st... age with the old guys turned young again. They made me young again ! Keith Richards is exposed as the genius that he is . Move over Godfather, Mick Jagger is the hardest working man in show business. Martin, you are a visionary magic man. Can't wait to see it again. Thanks for the explosion of raw talent meets in your face rock 'n roll.MORE ! MORE ! ! ! Full Review

There are those who get 'it' and those who never will. Gimme shelter from those who don't.We mourn for those poor souls who are incapable of transcending into that altered state, that "zone" that the... Stones (and Scorsese) pull us. As if you have lost your sense of smell in a French bakery, or lost your vision while on the beach in Ipanema. One can only feel sad. As to the Stones, there is still no other band that comes close to their energy and talent. And as to Jagger, name one front-man that even comes close to all that he does, all that he has been, and all that he is. Bono? wha? Bon Jovi?..come on..seriously. And thank you Martin Scorsese. You rock. Full Review
