Audience Member Great documentary, highly suggest it Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Seeing this for the first time in 2005, I was junior in High School. At the time I had just left the punk scene, and when I say what was the so-called punk scene at the time, it was comprised of punks who listened to 3 of the same bands. I was more of a pioneer of hearing everything possible, so when I viewed Punk Attitude on the IFC channel more that 6 years ago, my life would change forever. This film has a lot of heart, it's Don Letts's love letter to an important time and how this reoccurring spirit of punk rock has always existed and bloomed in the 1970s to make its prominent mark as a huge cultural impact in history. Although it primarly leads up to focus on the 1970s punk scene, the film covers such a vast amount of essential punk history as far back as even to the 1950s and boomerangs to cover even today's times. With interviews with great pioneers, historians, and bands of the genre (ie: Henry Rollins, Jello Biafra Mick Jones, and Jim Jarmusch), and the amount of coverage of the sub-genres that exploded from the initial explosion of punk. All in all, see this fuckin' movie. It'll educate you, entertain you, and most importantly, inspire you. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Det tar mig över en timme att inse att jag redan sett den här dokumentären för nÃ¥gra Ã¥r sedan, men det gör ingenting, Det här är väldigt underhÃ¥llande + Hur kunde jag glömt att New York Dolls var sÃ¥ jävla bra?. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Good historical doc. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member A comprehensive and straightforward history of punk, with detailed coverage of the early movement and a more cursory review of the post-punk years. Lots of commentary from musicians and band members. My rating is based on the fact that I like the music and the history. If you're like me, you'll probably enjoy this documentary. I would have gladly watched a half-hour longer for more footage of the live performances. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member I know there's a shitload to cover and blah blah blah, but all this movie does is reiterate the already WELL DOCUMENTED early punk days. It just treads old ground. I'm not saying early punk bands don't mean everything to me. I owe my life to The Ramones and The Stooges (but couldn't give a shit about the Pistols, go figure), but it's a total kick in the teeth to 80's punk rock, hardcore, and lots of other sub-genres/bands that deserve more exposure and documentation. And seriously, Nirvana and Sonic Youth and all that grunge shit? Gimme a break. Rabble rabble rabble.... and soforth. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
