    The making of the rock band is pretty invigorating stuff, however the Jim Morrison biography is uninviting and kind of boring after a while. I thought the movie was called The Doors, not The Rise And Fall Of The Lizard King.

  1. The movie does a pretty good job with period ambience. But it's a long haul waiting for the hero to keel over.

    The experience of watching The Doors is not always very pleasant.

    Val Kilmer is extraordinary as Morrison, holding the centre with a demonic charisma, while Stone recreates the late '60s milieu with vibrant versimilitude.
