Summary: I enjoyed this Movie a lot
Review: Doom Generation is my type of movie. It is not for those weak of heart, but for all of the people who enjoy getting lost in a world not quite our own, it's a winner. The plot twists and turns in nearly every direction and never fails to astonish. The ending will take just about everyone by suprise. If you enjoy pretty young slackers, who act quite well, getting into and out of the most amazing predicaments, then this is a movie for you.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hmmmmmm.......

Summary: One of the worst movies I've ever seen
Review: There is some decent acting in this movie but aside from that, it's complete garbage. I hate it all the more for trying so hard to be hip and in-your-face. It almost dares you to hate it if only to cover up for its consistent lack of quality. I don't hate this movie because it's shocking, I hate it because it thinks it's so shocking.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: First word "F***" last word "Doritos:" can't go wrong

Summary: A tour-de-force masterpiece from a true American auteur
Review: THE DOOM GENERATION is definitely not a film for all tastes. This edition on DVD is worth having for the Araki fan who saw the hacked version in theaters. Seeing the director's vision unaffected by over-zealous censors is a real bonus. It only confirms my opinion that Araki is a filmmaker for the new generation of young, disaffected Americans who don't find much originality in the usual garbage cranked out by Hollywood today.

THE DOOM GENERATION is perhaps Araki's best work to date, although not as inspired as some of his earlier films, this film is overall more consistent and coherent in tone. Still, this film is NOT easy to watch for the prudish or faint-of-heart.

Araki fans won't want to miss this classic version of the ultimate "road" movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: violent, sexual, thought provoking and radically different
Review: Violent, sexual, thought-provoking and radically different. This movie is a must see! Rose Mc Gowan before she was in Scream looks like a fallen angel with the personality of Cleopatra. Both Jonathan and James are played to the point of brilliance, Araki (director) out did himself.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow, this was a great movie
Review: this was a really good movie, but man, all i have to say is OUCH

Summary: I really tried to make it 0 stars
Review: Painful experience watching this film: painfully embarassing. It's another one of Araki's pretentious rants, completely lacking in discipline or judgement. This is the kind of film that results from a tight-assed suit saying, "I wants you to make a pitcha like them artists, you know, their stuff is surreal, whattathey called..." Even worse, it's a _message film_, like all of Araki's work.

The subject matter is not really objectionable. I mean, how could it be? Everyone deserves to find happiness. That's about it. The writer/director seems to think that we're too stupid to read his deep message, so he spells it out with big thick crayon strokes, and only succeeds in showing how clumsily he handles the camera, his actors, and dialogue.

I still can't decide whether the scenes were shot just once without rehearsals, or shot so many times that the acting became lifeless and flabby. The most frightening thing is that this celluloid turd really seems so new and fresh to many people. It reminds me of the movies I saw as a kid that were so amazing, but when I watched them again ten years later I realized that they had only seemed cool to me when I was twelve. I'm still feeling faint that Leonard Maltin called Araki's work 'Godardian.' Shudder.

Now, I will admit, it's better than Kids or Natural Born Killers, mainly because it's shorter. But all three of these bombs commit the same sin, they stand back ironically from serious subject matter, as if to say, "I'm so cool for bringing this out into the open, but I don't want to touch it myself." Watch 'Crash' instead. Now there's a film that really understands what Godard is about.
