Review of It Might Get Loud (2008) by Eric R — 06 Feb 2010
I'm not sure if I was in the wrong frame of mind or a bit too tired to watch this film but I didnt really get it.
It was something of a promotional engine for U2 and THe White Stripes and less of a story about the electric guitar. There were few scenes of actual interacction between the three stars and even less where they all played together. The film felt like it was trying to do too many things and perhaps in the end it achieved none of them.
Jimmy Page was fascinating to watch however and unfortunately he probably got the least air time of the three.
I get the feeling this was a missed opportunity to do something better and more interesting, find a topic and stick to it. Don't make it a big promo video for some bands.
Not bad, just not... that good.
