Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Python Hyena The Filth and the Fury (2000): Dir: Julien Temple / Featuring: Malcolm McLaren, Sid Vicious, Nancy Spungen, Glen Matlock, John Lydon: Documentary about the Sex Pistols regarding their lifestyle and the relationship with fans and critics. Director Julien Temple highlights their short music career as they cause mass hysteria in the media. They formed in 1975 under the manager Malcolm McLaren then they fell apart after with the drug overdose of base guitarist Sid Vicious. He had met Nancy Spungen, which led to her stabbing death in a hotel. With Sid up on conviction he died of an overdose in 1979. It isn't a pretty picture but Temple does an effective job with its documentary style. This is quite different from his comedy Earth Girls Are Easy, but here he goes for documentary appeal without the glamour and succeeds in displaying an image of the Sex Pistols that is less than pretty. Johnny Rotten makes an appearance with statements regarding a former manager. Glen Matlock also appears within the madness and carefree life of fame and drugs. Fans or music historians will witness the conflicts both on the road and within personal boundaries. The musical numbers are explosive and chime in with many of their biggest hits. Despite its graphic showcase of drugs and extreme behaviour, it portray the destruction of talent through drugs and fame. Score: 9 / 10

wvisser-leusden i never saw a documentary that so well reflects the artistic values of its subject. so well merging history and art into a very tasty presentation.back in the late seventies, the sEx pIstOLs caused a true pop revolution in england as well as in Europe. in those days the WHirLwinDs of the sixties had slowed down, while the industry kept on GoiNg. It all resulted in pop music mostly lacking FIrE.we all know that sEx pisToLs' music carried lots of fire. what Americans may not appreciate, is that this fire comes from a strong social undertone. the group really represented ENglAnd's lowest educated, socially backward youngsters, with almost no prospect for a proper job + a decent futUrE.that's what the sEx pIsToLs sing about -- love + sex hardly make a topic with them. their image and outfit are quite in line - we all know their torn-up clothing, their safety pins, and their FoUl language. called P U N K. It's all there in this gReAt documentary.

ShootingShark A documentary about the rise and fall of the most notorious punk rock band of all time; The Sex Pistols.When I was a kid I was hypnotised by Johnny Rotten / John Lydon, and to some extent I still am. He looked and sounded so different from anybody else, particular the musicians who were on TV a lot, like Abba and David Cassidy. He was scary, unique, funny, and behind his penetrating stare there was an almost ruthless, questioning intelligence. I never bought for a second what the authorities said about how The Sex Pistols would create a corrupt society. I thought a corrupt society had created The Sex Pistols, and I thought their music - and the music of the many bands they influenced - was brilliant. This thought-provoking documentary is a companion piece to Temple's 1980 cult classic The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle. But whereas that was the brainchild of their egocentric impresario manager Malcolm McLaren, this is their story in the band's own words. It deals with the social upheavals of seventies Britain which gave rise to them, and then does an excellent job of charting their progress from alternative music club heroes to national pariahs to chart topping music icons, to disillusioned and ripped-off losers, without pulling any punches. Typical Sex Pistols day; internal band punch up in limo, sign prestigious contract in front of Buckingham Palace, get wasted and trash record company offices, record a number one hit single (God Save The Queen, which was subsequently banned) and get fired by your new label. If anyone has the right to call themselves anarchists, it's them. Some of the footage in this film comes from Swindle and other familiar sources, but there is also lots of new stuff, particularly some intimate pieces with Vicious, which make his pathetic, tragic fate all the more sobering. It's also packed full of tub-thumpingly great music and performances from a terrific band who compressed so much energy into their short-lived career. A must for all punk fans and for anybody interested in one of the most influential musical movements of all time. The title comes from a tabloid newspaper headline the day after their infamous Bill Grundy TV interview. For more detailed insights into Lydon and the heady years of the late seventies, read his excellent book No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs.

Cabrone The Filth and the Fury is the best musical documentary I have ever seen about one of the most influential bands ever.The Sex Pistols were an explosion that could only last a short time but one whose ripples still influence bands of today which is amazing as they only ever released one album.The footage of the band was excellent with lots of previous unseen shots and I really felt that the film tried to show them as human beings rather than caricature bad guys. I also thought that the director did a great job of explaining the social climate of the time and why punk came about, an honest account about how ordinary people in the UK really felt about what was happening at the time.All in all a fitting epitaph, their music was raw and brilliant, I just wish I could say that about most of todays offerings.
