The songs Mick Jagger picked were awful. Have the Stones quit making playing music? | | | | Reply | | |

This movie was a waste of my money. How can a band this fantastic pick such lousy songs for a documentary? This is a film of nothing but sad blues, and elevator music.
Maybe the Rolling Stones don't rock any more? Mabye they've become what Paul McCartney, Elton John, and Eric Clapton have become: too old to know/or remember what made them famous. It was hard-driving rock, not easy-listening blues. | | | | Reply | | |

Media has unnecessarily created a hype about this movie. It does not offer something different . It is not worth watching at all | | | | Reply | | |

Bad editing and horrible songs have made the film less than mediocre. I am utterly disappointed to see such a movie. | | | | Reply | | |
