Alexander S Oct 20 His subject matter is overly explicit for my taste and even as one of Todd Phillip’s earlier films, Hated is a raw and unflinching look into the turbulent world of GG Allin, a punk rocker as infamous for his outrageous antics as he is for his unapologetic attitude - a true original who will leave you shocked and amazed. Grading: C+ See more 07/24/2013 OK documentary about a crazy group of individuals. See more 07/09/2013 When you get right down to it, GG was an incredibly average human being. See more 05/26/2013 After hearing only good things about this documentary, I finally watched it, and after watching it, I wanted my time back. G.G. Allin is quite possibly the most nihilistic, cynical, misanthropic punk rocker of all time, fueled by hate towards everyone and everything. But he has no actual message, no purpose to his art, and is nothing but a shallow shock value gimmick. Having a band called the Murder Junkies goes well with such a gimmick. They can fight on stage and he can fist himself and throw shit into the audience, but they are just as fake as the posers they fight against. I was hoping for at least one memorable quote, something intelligent from Allin, but no,nothing. For someone so anti-establishment, and for a guy who promised to kill himself, he died like a rock and roll stereotype: from a heroin overdose after partying way too hard. In '93, after he died, one man took parts of his gimmick and utilized them much better, and more profitable. That man was Brian Warner, and he turned himself into Marilyn Manson. To conclude: this documentary is boring and Allin is nothing more than a gimmick. Also, his music is terrible. See more 05/23/2013 From the director of The Hangover.
