PJ20 movie disappointment
What's the point of releasing it on bluray anyway? The picture quality is shit. This is the worst quality i have ever seen on bluray. For example Thumbing My Way or Nothing As It Seems, which were not shot in the 80's or 90's...are indigestible.
And the movie content? Who cares about the Singles party, Headbangers Ball, Adam Sandler, Scott Stapp celebrity deathmatch,... The movie literaly jumps from 1995 to 2010. The inbetween time is just mentioned in a few words. I miss No Code/Yield/Binaural/Riot Act/Avocado era, some studio shots would be more interesting.
Well, that's just my opinion.

I love the movie though, have watched it a shit-ton of times already. I make everyone I know sit through it once.
Dude, you are stoked if you dont like it -- go to Lost Dogs and post what you want to trade for it. People will go bat-shit/
I love how Stone was talking to Cameron Crowe while driving around Seattle, and Stone was like, Oh God, you have footage of that?" Then they show the footage.

I do agree with the OP about how it just jumped from 95 or 96 to current. They touched on some of it but alot of stuff happened then. But in reality this movie could easily be four hours long and still leave out stuff.
I did get the feeling that Cameron Crowe focused on the albums he liked. But it's his project so i guess he can. Ok i admit it i wish i was Cameron Crowe for this project there i said it i'm jealous.
Don't know about the Blue Ray but I agree with what you wrote concerning the time gap.

The time gap was fine for me. It was the first 10 years I was looking for them to dig into in the film.

I can't comment on the bluray as I only got the standard single disc version but as for the movie.... I waited the same length of time as everyone else to watch a movie about a band I've loved for two decades and for me it was more than disappointing. 1200+ hours of footage spanning 20 years to choose from and CC decides to simply add some new interviews to a load of uninteresting MTV archives? I expected too much maybe but when the news broke about the movie it sounded like a dream come true. Honestly, go through it scene by scene and think about what could have been left on the cutting room floor and what could have replaced it. The story is really incomplete although it does have some great moments and I can only thank them for the book because I'll look at it again and again. That's just my opinion too but I never would have guessed in a hundred years I'd be bored watching a PJ movie.

I don't think there was that huge a time gap. They talked about during the Yield Era where Ed was driving himself to the shows, and showed footage rehearsing. They talked about the tragedy from 2000 quite a bit. The only time frame they may have left on IMO was Riot Act. 2006 era I think they considered pretty much now.

To those of you who missed out on the Deluxe Blu-Ray set, here's what you do: you go to one of numerous torrent sites with the two bonus discs available as DVD disc images (I think this is okay to say, as the item clearly is not for sale any more). Pick a size. Any size. If the file is 700MB, it doesn't matter - save yourself the space! Next, you take that file, and if you have a thing for Blu-Ray discs, by all means, burn the video files to a Blu-Ray disc. It won't sound as good - but the amazing thing is that it actually will look as good.

But everyone is entitled to his own opinion.
If You Like Crunchy Guitar Riffs, Powerful Vocals, Melodic Guitar Solos, And Meaningful Lyrics..then you need to check out one of the most refreshing new hard rock bands in quite some time...-->The Liberty Underground<--
Yeah these are all valid criticisms. Considering Eddie IS Pearl Jam. I would have liked more about pre-PJ Eddie than Andy Wood. And like you, I wish they properly explained the drummers as opposed to how they did it. That all said, some of the vintage footage is awesome and I wouldn't part with the Blu-Ray.

spot on.
zero balance between eras, and they seemed to breeze right past the most "interesting" ones.
edit: i have no problems with the picture quality. hell... i LOVED touring band's feel and look and you can't get grainier than that.
I think everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but I personally loved every bit of the movie, I think the history makes up for the poor quality of some bits of it. I think the whole movie was amazingly put together, produced, it made me cry, laugh... Ive seen it about 5 times, and never have enough of it.

1. How they don`t talk about Dave. A and Jack Irons. They don`t interview them, nothing. It was as if they weren`t even part of the band.
2.Boom. Also, didn`t say much about Boom, where they found him, why they add his as a fix support member.
The rest was great

I literally didn't feel like I learned a thing about the band. It seemed like they were trying to enhance their legacy more than anything.
Some cool bonus footage, though and the book did give more detail throughout their career.
