Impressive performance by Val Kilmer and interesting story line, however largely exaggerated and glamorized by Oliver Stone, who seemed to want to portray the myth of Jim Morrison more than the reality. Apparently, many of Morrison's close friends and family were very unhappy with the film's portrayal of Jim. Still an entertaining film, but should be taken with a grain of salt.

I like The Doors so I was looking forward to this. Jeez it was bad. The acting was woodenl. The messages in this movie seemed like they were create in such a way that even kids could understand it. A quick example is when a man yells 'hey long hair!' Is that supposed to make us think of prejudice against men with long hair. Or the guy in the dressing room who is a square in a suit. He says 'grovy' and 'you dig' but he's not cool enough to pull it off. He's some joke. Everything in this movie is handled in that simple and dumbed down way. It's cliche and cringy dialogue and ends up makeing caricature characters. I think Andy Warhol in this was a perfect example. Also it makes sure it mentions death every ten minutes as though Jim isn't scared of death or something. The poetic hippy feel in this movie was also cringy sometimes. This made me not enjoy The doors music. Estimated budget $38,000,000.

val kilmer and the live music scenes are so good that this film deserves to be seen, even though meg ryan and oliver stone ruin too much of the rest. jim morrison was not the guy portrayed in this film, and i don't understand why oliver stone did this hatchet job to jim and the band. as ray manzarek More

I KNOW I'm giving way too many stars for this, but I don't care; The Doors were one of my very first favourite groups. I fondly recall, when I was 11, and Elektra Records released 'The Doors' Greatest Hits', and the album-length version of 'Light My Fire' was played all the time on the radio, and I More

A hypnotic film, but it emphasizes the negative side of Jim Morrison and is filled with fabrications.

RELEASED IN 1991 and directed by Oliver Stone, “The Doors” chronicles the Southern California band The Doors and their rise and fall between 1966-1971. The film focuses on charismatic singer More

Not enough credit is actually given to this great piece of filmmaking.
Oliver Stone at his finest, some acting performances of the highest degree. Kilmer is supberb as Jim Morrison. Arguably Meg Ryan's best performance. Great cameo's in the movie too.Including Billy Idol. Kyle MacLachlan is great More
