The creative chemistry of four brilliant artists —drummer John Densmore, guitarist Robby Kreiger, keyboardist Ray Manzarek and singer Jim Morrison— made The Doors one of America's most iconic and influential rock bands. Using footage shot between their formation in 1965 and Morrison's death in 1971, it follows the band from the corridors of UCLA's film school, where Manzarek and Morrison met, to the stages of sold-out arenas.

Lots of great concert footage. Depp was kind of hard to hear.

The movie seems to be interesting, but I couldn't understand a single thing because of the extreme low audio in Johnny Depp's narration. Well, at least on my version on DVD.

It's interesting how you get to know about the band's story, but also about what kind of America where they part of and how that influenced them and they influenced their listeners. Don't know if this brought anything new for 'The Doors' fans, but for me, though I love their music, most of this was new and therefore interesting to learn about. Johnny Depp was a good choice for the narration, though, on a side note, I must say, it's kind of ironic listening to him speak about the effects of Jim's drugs and alcohol abuse on himself and the band... All in all, it's a good movie and it made me want to go listen to their whole discography now. Guess I'll go do just that.
