Synopsis
Val Kilmer delivers what was considered one of 1991's best performances as Jim Morrison in Oliver Stone's hallucinatory bio-pic of the seminal 1960s rock group The Doors. Stone cuts a jagged swath through Morrison's life, starting with a childhood memory where Morrison sees an elderly Indian dying by the roadside. It picks up with Morrison's arrival in California and his assimilation into the Venice Beach culture, followed by his film school days at UCLA; his introduction to his girlfriend Pamela Courson (Meg Ryan); his first encounters with Ray Manzarek (Kyle MacLachlan); and the origin of The Doors -- made up of Manzarek, Robby Kreiger (Frank Whaley), and John Densmore (Kevin Dillon). As the fame of The Doors grows, Morrison's obsession with death increases. The band grows weary of Morrison's missed recording sessions and no-shows at concerts. Morrison, meanwhile, sinks deeper into a drug-induced haze, having mystical sexual encounters with Patricia Kennealy (Kathleen Quinlan), an older rock journalist involved with sadomasochism and witchcraft. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Like you were there, especially concert footage.
August 1, 2009Val Kilmer, absolutely was born for this roll. To think he had to lobby for it, is just mind boggling. This is a terrific way to either live or RE-live the era, regardless of what poetic license Oliver Stone may have taken. The songs are great and the concert footage can be enthralling. The roll of Kilmer's life should have made him a bigger star, but the movie had mediocre reviews based on what was perceived as Stone's excesses and the movie's length. However, if you're not looking for profundity in script and want to "experience" The Doors and Morrison at his best and worst, this it!

Excellent movie!!!
July 17, 2009This is a great movie, my wife and I love it! It's brilliantly directed by Oliver Stone, and Val Kilmer's acting is amazing! He looks and acts just like Jim Morrison. This is a great depiction of the Doors and Jim Morrison's life. Just like other Oliver Stone true story films, (like Alexander and JFK), he does a great job of making his films as accurate as possible. I highly recommend this film! Also, two of my personal Oliver Stone favorites are Natural Born Killers and U-turn.
