The notorious hard rock band that changed the music scene in the 80s finally has their story, The Dirt.

The Dirt is the band’s biopic which can be seen on Netflix. Read on for the reviews…

CelebNMovies247.com are huge fans of Motley Crue and this story tells it like it was back in the 80s and 90s when the band broke into the music industry.

Hollywood was a different place, rock and metal ruled Sunset Boulevard and if you’re not in your late 40’s early 50s you have no clue.

It was everything back then, up and coming hair bands, glam rock bands and metal bands dominated the boulevard. You couldn’t walk three feet without running into a hair band trying to get their music heard. Then there was the Roxy, Whisky a Go Go and the Rainbow Bar & Grill, the only place to see the new now next.

In their early days, Motley Crue dominated the clubs, and once they got big after their Live Wire debut, the band was the must-see rock concert right up there with The Scorpions, Judas Priest, Ozzy, and Van Halen.

The Dirt, based on the 2001 Mötley Crüe memoir The Dirt: Confessions of the World’s Most Notorious Rock Band. The book featured interviews with each member of the band – Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee, Mick Mars and Vince Neil – to paint a picture of the group’s rise to fame and subsequent troubles.

The film dives into the childhood of Nikki Sixx (Douglas Booth), following him until he eventually lands in the West Hollywood music scene. There, he meets Tommy Lee (Colson Baker aka. Machine Gun Kelly) and the two decide to form a band. They meet Mick Mars (Iwan Rheon) and for their final piece, a lead singer, Tommy suggests a former high school classmate, Vince Neil (Daniel Webber).

The Dirt was directed by Jeff Tremaine (Bad Grandpa, Jackass: The Movie) and written by Tom Kapinos (Lucifer) and Amanda Adelson (Mid90s), with a screenplay by Rich Wilkes (xXx, Airheads). The film features voiceover narration delivered by each of the actors portraying the four members of Mötley Crüe, offering insight into the events from their perspective.

Here is what is being said about The Dirt: The Motley Crue biopic.

The narrative styles of The Dirt allow for more focus on diving into the lives of these each band member.
Though the film struggles to form a cohesive, overarching story arc from the various events of Mötley Crüe’s life.
Even though all the events are factual and really happened, it came off like highlights from headlines.
As a fan, we wanted more, something we could really sink out teeth into. Especially when it comes to Vince’s accident and subsequent jail time, Nikki’s heroin addiction, Tommy’s marriage to Heather Locklear (Courtney Dietz) and Mick’s struggles with his health.
The second and third acts of the film are largely unconnected events loosely strung together with voiceover narration.
