Well, I watched the film, quite unaware that it only covers formative and first two years of "Led Zeppelin" history. My bad.

IMHO it was like extended "60 minutes" episode, very underwhelming and, at times simply disappointing as it only gives us sanitized story of the band. The film gives us only yarns of now 70+ band members and some concert and production footage. The "Sex & Drugs & Rock'n'Roll" component is entirely missing, us the old guys, now knighted and noble, don't want to go there.

BTW, sound is a bit lazily produced, volume fluctuations and inaccurate fadeouts are a bit distracting.

Finally - despite all that, it's compulsory viewing for "Led Zeppelin" faithfulls, me being one of them.

I never read the books, I wanted to watch the movies before 2025 TV series, to have comparison. I really liked first four movies, I watched one a day... and what a letdown... "The Marco Effect" is pompous, badly photographed affair, the new cast does not work for me.

But the worst thing is Ulrich's off putting chewing, close ups of chewing and (of course) sound of chewing.

So, I guess, I won't bother with sixth effort and see how 2025 series works.

I read somewhere that the author was unhappy with first four movies, hence such a radical change. Well, you don't fix things if they are working, or you can bugger them up. As they have done.

Clear your mind of all interference caused by trailers, promotions and one-eye write ups.

Firstly - this is not "From Dusk to Dawn" or any other movie wannabe, it's quite original.

It's a horror, blending in blue grass, musical element, and human misery inflicted on Afro-Americans last century.

IMHO, first 42 min is quite slow and maybe even boring, making you wish for something to happen. When the story gathers speed, it leaves you, at times, confused and despite all the gore, not really scared.

After all, it's not something you'll remember for years, as you remember classic horror films, it's not in that league.

BTW, don't miss on crazy credits...
