satka k I first saw the original cut on the night of the premiere. This DVD offers a lot of other intreasting pieces...I think younger people who werent born will find it intreasting..I love the audience film, wish there was much more...Im not sure if it will convert any new fans but time will tell. initially when i first saw it i thought it was far too short, a little over an hour...perhaps if it was much longer It wouldve made it boring. the fantasy sequences tea party, car etc...now are a bit dated but fun all the same. The filming itself for the time with all the cameras was great! its been refreshed and cleaned up so watchable and intreasting background information about the film..I heard they had 52cans of unused film!!??? wonder whats on that!? Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Some really great performances but mostly just for Beatles completists and fans of classic rock. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm a huge fan of T. Rex's music, but this film wasn't exactly great. It seems a bit shoddy really. You'd think since this came out at Bolan's height that it would reflect his genius at the time, but I don't think this movie would make anyone a fan like the albums "Electric Warrior" or "The Slider" would. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Raw Rock n Roll like it use to be! A T.Rex fans dream,nicely restored DVD presentation with many extra's including a bonus matinee performance. Great sounding Remastered 5~1 sound track to match the restored Film. Includes the studio session with Elton on piano and Ringo on drums with Marc and T.Rex. They had a lot of Fun making this movie and it shows. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Marc Bolan was such an amazing artist, and we lost him way too soon. "Born to Boogie" captures the rock star at the zenith of his career. This film is half T. Rex concert, half surreal and artistic scenes, such as "The Tea Party" sequence. The film was directed by Ringo Starr, who also filmed all of the concert footage in the documentary. The studio scene in which Marc & T. Rex brings in Ringo on drums and Elton John on piano for a performances of Little Richard's hit "Tutti Fruitti," and then transitions into "Children Of The Revolution," in which Ringo is dressed as a clown, and Elton pounds out driving piano trills, meanwhile, Marc's head, surrounded in luscious curls, pops out of Elton's piano, is possibly the highlight of the whole film. This movie really shows viewers what a legacy Marc Bolan has left behind, and that his music and talent will live on forever. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Only a handful of people I know have seen this. Watch it just for the tea party scene!
