I mean, honestly, I'm not sitting here looking to find out the details of exactly how and why they wrote Girls Girls Girls. I'd rather have the sordid details of their debauchery. The biggest takeaway came from the comparison pictures they run at the end. Even though they're willing to push boundaries by showing a girl squirt, they didn't have the balls to tease their actor's hair to true eighties heights.

Glorious bad trash but too obnoxious to have a good time with. It’s sad because if one were to Legit remake this with just the members of Motley Crue as puppets with zero other changes it would be a perfect object.

It's campy and trashy, and occasionally good fun, but feels rather empty and superficial, giving us neither any real understanding of their rise to stardom nor any insight into their drug hell. It just all felt a bit sanitised. The young cast were likeable enough (Rheon probably the highlight), but it felt like they never really aged. It needed more Joe Chrest as the dad from Stranger Things - a squirting groupie is no substitute. Cheesy daftness.

Cheesy biopic charting the rise, fall and rebirth of Mötley Crüe that feels like a much less funny remake of This is Spinal Tap. The scenes of over the top partying get old very quickly, and the film plays fast and loose with much of the history (though they did an admirable job of visually recreating a lot of the band's most famous moments). The real highlight is Iwan Rheon's laconic and acerbic portrayal of Mick Mars. Not a great flick, but worth a look if you're a fan of the Crüe.

Absolute trash, but fun trash. The film starts with a woman squirting high into the air. What else do you expect?

The Dirt isn't the most outstanding or accurate movie one could make about this scene of rock and roll, but damn if it ain't entertaining. I say this as someone who doesn't even like Motley Crue. It's hard to pick things out about this film that might qualify as pros and cons as it all kind of blends together as this giant, over-the-top trashy spectacle to sex, drugs, and rock and roll. That being said, it is a great time.

It has some very trashy and low-brow entertainment value, particularly during their rise to stardom. But it's overall so cheesy that it really falls flat when they try for emotional moments. It's based on their own telling of their story, so it's also not surprising that they give themselves a nice redemption arc which may or may not be based in reality.

Given the fact that the band's behavior would normally turn me off & their arc hits all the usual beats, why did I like this so much? Nostalgia partly. The height of their popularity coincides with the time of my life when their boorishness was "cool" to me. It's also refreshing to see a film reveal a core truth about people (esp young people): some things are funny BECAUSE they shock/offend; & it's truly a great & compelling idea to have the members narrate their own subjective truths.

Makes the mistake of going ultimate ham at every possible moment, then expecting anyone to connect emotionally at truly emotional periods in the bands life. I understand these guys are nuts, but they had normal moments too. Maybe squeezing one or two of those in there would have helped.

I see why it was on Netflix and not in theaters, where it would have probably gotten an NC-17 or X rating. That for the first 10 minutes alone! Otherwise, it's a fun look at the life of the height of a rock band.

Works as a comedy but fails in other aspects. Doesn't really go to any depths. Feels like a campy, inferior version of This is Spinal Tap rather than a biopic. Also, a lot of bullshit as it omits all the legal battles between Neil and the band and the fall from fame from the '90s on, opting to force the success and the brotherhood angles over the truth. It's sort of OK as long as you don't expect to walk away with anything.

I watched it to see how these actors would portrey the band, and I have to say they all turned in great performances, especially Booth. Still, the story is too short and doesn't have time to really explore the Crue's real legacy, it pretty much ignored Mars throughout most of the movie, and doesn't offer much we haven't seen in other rock band biopics.

You're only going to like it if you like rock & roll. But you will love it if you are a Mötley Crüe fan! It could have been developed better it felt a bit rushed but it is a very fun watch. One thing that really bothered me is that all the women's hair in the film didn't look "80s" enough. Hair metal was cheesy, overly dramatic but fun. This film followed suite. Any rock/metal fan will enjoy this on a Sunday night.

They partied a lot. That's a real stunning revelation isn't it? I don't really know why they sounded the way they did or why they were so popular. I don't even really know how many albums they put out. If you blink, you'll probably miss the fact that they had a different singer for a while. But I know that they saw Ozzy Osbourne lick piss off the ground. There ... now you don't have to watch it.

It's not going to win any awards or anything but it wasn't meant to so it's entertaining, if nothing else, but those heroin scenes are so over the top bad

I fuckin enjoyed it :). It's mostly truthful and fun, and does go into their development as people. Yes, it is not amazing, but it is a fun story.

The film does a great job at recreating many of the decadent scenes from Motley Crue's real life past, but that's about as far as the film goes. The movie is basically an endless montage of scenes of debauchery without the emotional impact. We don't really learn much about the band as we see them do drugs and have sex over and over again, and even the scenes meant to have heart are pretty lackluster. It's glitzy, but ultimately empty.

The story is interesting but the film itself is obnoxious, campy, predicable, cliche, cheesy, and overly self-aggrandizing, but that's the point, right? Ok, I can get on board with the absurdity, whether it's intentional or not. While neither the direction or cinematography is particularly creative or up to par with the story, the acting is the film's weakest link. Machine Gun Kelly alone pretty much ruins every scene he's in. It starts off a bit slow, but overall this is a surprisingly ok film.

Complaints of superficiality seem a tad wrongheaded. There was not much to these guys, by their own admission, especially in their hell raising youth when the Crue helped pioneer a style of metal that temporarily changed the musical landscape for the worse. The troubles of the 90's are unfortunately given the rush treatment, and the reunion with Neil is completely sanitised (i.e motivated by brotherhood rather than money), but the actors portray them well and make it mildly enjoyable.

Gerçek hayattan bildiğimiz anları hatta fotoğraflar eşliğinde tamamlayarak biraz yüzeysel gibi görünse de başarılı çekilmiş biyografi. Oyuncuların seçimini ve performanslarını çok başarılı buldum, genel olarak gerçeğin yansıtılması ise senaryolaştırılmadan gerçek gibi yapılmış bu yönüyle ayrıca alkışı hak ediyor..

It's a pretty basic band biopic movie that relies heavily on the excess. Most of it is unintentionally funny, I have a lot of trouble believing that MGK is supposed to be Tommy Lee. It could've been way worse. It overstays it's welcome a bit. The end credits song with Motley Crue and MGK is hilarious.

Fast paced, over the top somewhat biotopic film about a Mötley Crüe, but extremely shallow and you walk out the same as you came in.

As stupid and downright amateurish it is, I still have hell of a lot more respect for this limping, frolicking rock 'n' roll biopic than the polished turd that is Bohemian Rhapsody.

The Dirt'in, Mötley Crüe grubunun başlangıcı ile sonunu anlatırken müziğe çok fazla sığınmayıp direkt olay örgüsüne dalması, kendi gibi olan diğer filmlerden bağımsız gözükmesini sağlıyor fakat filmi kurtaran en büyük şey ise oyuncuların performansları oluyor.
