This is one of the best if not the best documentary on any Rock band ever!
I walked away from this movie with a whole new appreciation for the Ramones and have now become a fan of them.
That is how good this movie is.
By the end of this movie your heart aches for Joey as well as Dee Dee.
I rated it a 10!
Totally agree!
I watch a lot of films and have seen more music docs than most people,
but THIS was different, honestly.
It had a rawness, honesty and even intimacy to it that I've never seen before
when it comes to a major band.
Usually the filmmakers only do the hero worshipping and forget about the dirty sides and daily struggles of the biz, but not this one!
And the doc did give'em credit for what these people achieved...against all odds.
I've been a small fan of the "Ramones" before and liked their music,
but this film really informed me how great they were as a people and band.
It's not so much the filmmaking, which was decent, but it's simply a great story with great and complex characters.
I totally get that Martin Scorsese is interested in making a major film
about "The Ramones" now:
It bet he saw this documentary.
This is better than most Oscar-winning screenplays.
