| Jan 27, 2005

One of the most appealing themes running through this rock-doc is the admission by all concerned that The Ramones were never great musicians and never needed to be.

An exhilaratingly brilliant film about the rise and rise of the punk band that was too tough to die.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 21, 2004

1) it's a richly human story about friendship, originality, professionalism and success, and 2) there's hardly been any new music worth a lick in the past 30 years that the Ramones didn't somehow inspire.

In the spirit of Ramones' songs, the movie should have been twice as loud and half as long and it would have been perfect.

It's heartwarming, if a bit spooky, to see these rock heroes speaking to us now that they're dead.

A film that does a fine job explaining their importance without airbrushing their foibles.

A satisfying, straightforward documentary with great archive footage and interviews with band members ... and those they influenced.
