Critics Consensus

Presenting the origins of Led Zeppelin with laser focus, this doc isn't the definitive document on the band but blows the roof off with its killer soundtrack.

If you can see it at an IMAX, please do, because it's like being at a concert. That sound is incredible -- crank it up loud!

Very informative, very clean-cut. Nothing sordid here, except the music.

Rated: 3.5/5

Why are these guys so boring? It’s a mystery that won’t be probed by director Bernard MacMahon and co-writer Allison McGourty, who tick off the usual gigs and recording anecdotes on the rise to fame with a then-this-happened dutifulness.

...at times it feels too close to an infomercial, a mere exercise in brand management. [Full review in Spanish]

I’ll admit they were never a personal favorite, but Bernard MacMahon’s film makes a pretty great case for them, drawing on a wealth of archival performance footage. Even among numerous fine rock docs in recent years, this ranks near the top.

Too polished and surface-level for its own good, Becoming Led Zeppelin’s inevitably drags mightily.

A very good story of HOW Led Zeppelin came to be, and their first 2 albums, including previously unseen concert footage in vivid sound. Hope they release this on DVD/BRD.

Becoming Led Zeppelin in IMAX is an electrifying, immersive journey through the rise of one of the greatest rock bands in history. The larger-than-life screen and thunderous sound system make every riff, beat, and raw vocal hit with incredible power. The film blends rare footage, intimate interviews, and iconic performances in a way that feels both personal and epic. For fans, it's a dream come true — and for newcomers, its the perfect introduction to the magic of Zeppelin. This is more than a documentary — its an experience.

Music was amazing, hearing the story directly from Plant, Page, and John Paul Jones made it an authentic retelling of their story!!

Getting to know the individuals that were only celebrity images since my high school days. Fantastic old interview clips and performances that were high quality. Thoroughly enjoyed this film. The IMAX experience was incredible both large screen image and the sound system. Great production.
