Negative Positive
Title: The extras on this DVD are worthwhile
Review: Some of my initial reactions to the movie are similar to what others have noted (unusual pacing, unusual selection of guitarists, unusual presentation of the "summit", etc.), but after listening to the commentary track and looking at the extras, my appreciation of the movie increased.Yes, the structure and pacing was a deliberate choice (remarkable how much "This is Spinal Tap" has influenced both rock musicians, and rock documentary makers). Yes there was a bigger list of guitarists that the movie producers had considered. And Yes, there was a lot of music at the summit that never made it to theatrical release.It might get Loud may not be the definitive rock documentary, but it is a good film about the relationship between the electric guitar and the artists who play it. A film that deliberately stays away from the "rock critic" and "rock historian" view of the subject.
Is the review positive or negative?
