Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

tonyfitz777 Wooden acting, hilarious lip syncing, clichéd characterisation, all mixed together with a truly awful script. Dick Van Dyke did a better cockney accent in Mary Poppins... clearly a misguided American attempt at an English story... which may satisfy you if you American, but is simply annoying from a British perspective. Unless you are a die hard fan, leave this rubbish well alone.I apparently have to provide 10 lines of text so I will have to continue, it's worth the trouble though. I am not an avid reviewer but feel I must take the trouble to warn discerning people not to waste their time on this ridiculous offering.

olderthandirt747 When I first saw the add for this movie I could not wait to see it. After seeing it I have to add my take of it. As far as factual goes it,s 50/50. It would have interesting to see the events how they really happened not how they are shown in the movie. First any Def Leppard fan knows Pete Willis was let go from the band wile they were in the studio recording Pyromania not after a show. Second, they knew Phil they did not see him in a club playing in a band (alough I really thought that was a cool scene if not factual)Over all this is a story about a band who overcame incredible odds and came back with an album that stands the test of time.I would have liked to seen more in the film such as how the band got through the death of Steve Clark and the addition of Vivian Cambell. In my opion the movie should have ended with Def Leppard playing at the tribute to Freddie Mercury at Wembly Arena in 1992.I had hoped that when this film was released on DVD that there would have been deleted scenes included sadly there were none.

Chris Gavez Now, I was never a fan of Def Leppard after Pyromania, but seeing this DVD at my local Blockbuster, I had to rent it to see how the film makers portrayed this band. Knowing the story of this band, since I was a fan of metal from the early 80's, I was truly disappointed with the outcome.The film (thankfully) really focuses on the early days of the band, when they were a straight ahead rock band, before all the commercial nonsense of "Hysteria". The story begins with the band forming and ends before the hysteria of "Hysteria". The film focuses a lot on Rick Allen's tragic car accident that took his left arm, and on the out of control Steve Clarke.First off, this film is much too short. Under 90 minutes?!? With all the tragedy that this band faced, the film should have been much longer. It also should have shown the audience what happened to Steve Clarke, a great guitar player who was battling his demons with alcohol. He deserved much more in this film than a little blurb during the end credits.The actors do a decent job when not performing on stage. Their stage performances are much too wooden. But they did mostly look like the band. It was also great to see Anthony Michael Hall again. Too bad he is now stuck doing TV movies. I always liked him as an actor.Also, the locations where they shot this did not look like England to me, and the view of the band at the height of their career just does not make the audience believe. Can you seriously think that Joe Elliot was driving a Volvo during the height of his career. Little details like this will have the fan of Def Leppard in stitches.This is the first film I have seen that VH1 has done. Living in Canada, we don't get that video channel. Hopefully, if they decide to do future films, they will be much better.If you are a Def Leppard fan, you will definitely want to see this, but may be very disappointed in the lack of attention to detail, and more importantly, the lack of quality.

sara9sara9 A very good film which is very spoilt by the amazingly poor northern accents and the fact the it was all seems to be filmed in the USA with "token" stock footage of London. All the american coaches and left hand drive cars except for the odd right hand drive car when you see the bad. Well worth watching but very spoilt by lack of attention to detail!
