Dr. Steve B I like them less now. Sooooooo sappy and just terrible. Those two guys are not entertaining or funny at all. Yes the old footage is good. Would've like to see more about how they made hello nasty and relationship with mix master Mike, who is actually entertaining if you've seen "Scratch", but this documentary was bad. Ad-Rock getting all emotional just felt staged, I mean well it was literally staged. Had to turn it off. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/08/23 Full Review William N It was a decent documentary and I didn't mind the format. However, it felt like this documentary was a way for the Beastie Boys to purify themselves from whatever transgressions they may have deemed unacceptable in their past. For example, they claim to not like most of the songs from License To Ill, to include some of the most popular songs like, Fight For Your Right To Party, and Girls. Also, they claim that there was another member of the Beastie Boys by the name of Katie, in fact she's mentioned quite often by the Beastie Boys. This seems like a lame attempt to rewrite their history. The Beastie Boys claim to have evolved throughout the years which explains not liking some of their most popular songs which are filled with womanizing themes but they never take accountability for key decisions which they made themselves. Like requesting a large dick on stage during their license to ill tour along with a cage with a woman dancer in it. The Beastie Boys claim that this request was intentionally bonkers because they didn't expect it to be followed up on (yeah ok). They just came across as lame at times throughout this documentary trying to disavow things that they did that are deemed culturally inappropriate now. Own it man, there's nothing wrong with what you did ; without those songs from License To Ill there are no other albums, License To Ill is what made you famous. Stop trying to purify yourselves, it comes across as lame.

Missing Adam Yauch and bummed out there won't be new music from the trio, but happy for everything they already gave... Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/04/23 Full Review Thunderbird F I loved this so much I teared up. A fine tribute to MCA and a great trip down memory lane. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/01/23 Full Review Gareth v A fantastic music doco that is about life long friendships as much as it is about the music. Funny, warm & honest. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/20/23 Full Review yash b "Beastie Boys Story" is an innovative and unique documentary. Even if you're not a die hard fan of the Beastie Boys, this is still a very interesting and enjoyable movie. This movie takes an unconventional approach to telling the story with some of the former band members telling the story to a live audience. I think it made the movie feel a lot more personal and made it more effective in some of the more emotional moments. I personally only know a few of this group's songs but I am interested to check out more after watching this. Their story is consistently interesting and I genuinely felt like I was seeing the story of three friends play out instead of just a music group, which felt special. Overall, I think this is a worthwhile success story that I enjoyed more than I thought I would. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
