Evidently it ain't LOUD enuf. Alas

IT MIGHT GET LOUD

Marketed as a guitar summit between The Edge, Jimmy Page, and Jack White, Davis Guggenheim's affectionate, intermittently insightful behind-the-music doc is more electric triptych than meeting of the minds. Yes, the trio gather 'round the soundstage amps to teach each other a few tricks, but it's anticlimactic—save for the schoolboy smiles of White and The Edge's mug when Page instructs them in the finer art of piloting a Led Zeppelin. But the meat of the movie deals with their individual tales anyway: The Edge showing off the school rooms and studios where U2 became one; Page air-guitaring along to Link Wray's "Rumble" and guiding us through the manse where the fourth Zep record was recorded; White building a guitar out of little more than wood, wire, and a Coke bottle. Guggenheim pits young'un against old fart: White bemoans "technology," while The Edge is nothing but—so much so that U2 fans may find themselves disappointed by the revelation that the Wizard is nothing but a pile of pedals behind that arena-sized curtain. It's Page, a joyful instructor and natural storyteller, who steals the spotlight. (Robert who? More, please.) Only real complaint: The movie's not loud enough. They should have turned that f***er up to 11. — Robert Wilonsky

KILLER flick, as expected!!! Not freakin' long enuf to satisfy tho, just a tease.
I would have loved it if it was twice as long or even 3 or 4 times longer.
That's just how much I love Page & White!! The Edge just took up precious time.
Glad I got to see it while it's just in NY & LA so I'm among the lucky doggs who got first crack at it! :cool:
Don't wanna spoil it for anyone so I won't say too much more than GO SEE IT as soon as it's in a theater near you. I will add that it's very inspiring & I'm gonna go play some music now...maybe even guitar instead of the usual bass...
