This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Oasis is probably the post-Beatles band that captured a piece of that band's impressive rise thirty years on. It was a long time since The Fab Four had done it, and to see an impressive degree of that mania in a latter-day setting was, perhaps, unbelievable in that it was generally accepted it would never happen again. Though history will downplay it today for a run of almost five years it was like the craziness of 1964 all over again. Only this time not just the era was different. The band itself was like a battlefield sewn with landmines. The Beatles, mostly, made peace offerings among themselves allowing more greatness to spawn even as they, wisely, quit touring. So what caused Oasis to truncate their massive popularity? Supersonic gives that insight. Unlike The Beatles, whose settled on democracy worked, with Oasis something explosive was always brewing. It began and ended with Noel being the creative leader and Liam being the mercurial equal that wasn't really equal at all within the band - even as he was more loved by many fans. Something that only competitive blood brothers are saddled with. Add more anger, bad drugs, and recklessness to the Gallagher brothers and it seems a wonder the band achieved what it did. This is a warts and all look into their wild ride. It could have shown more shed blood, but the viewer gets it quite well with the chaos shown here. As of 2016 that chaos matters less and like Noel says the music is still here. That doesn't mean you don't pine for what could have been if a massive dose of maturity just couldn't have plopped itself down. But, you get a glimpse of why that was never really what Oasis ran on. It ran on borrowed time and in it's short time it conquered the world musically and left a lot to still enjoy. Like so much great music it was an alchemy of a certain space and time which could only exist for a finite period. This is a pretty entertaining, though often uneasy, window into that time. It's very likely to be a protracted time for any other band to get a window into Beatle Mania (i.e. mania, not importance), so watch this in a bit of amazement as it may never happen in this century, or ???

It is undeniable that Oasis was one of the most important bands of its generation, icons and founders of the genre Britpop or "British Pop". Oasis's legacy goes far beyond its compositions, its songs and discs released ... it transcends a song. The legacy of the guys revolves around controversies, quarrels, controversial statements and the strong, subversive, transgressing, imposing and austere personality of the Gallagher brothers, who built all this together, without passing a false image of good young men in front of the cameras and of the microphones, even with problems between them. Who is a rock band from a small state of England (Manchester). They came to do nothing at the post of one of the best and most influential bands, with one of the biggest hits with record best selling albums in the UK. I believe it to be almost impossible, a band performing something for everything Oasis has accomplished, much because of the internet as well. People do not go to shows anymore, they do not buy more discos, nowadays, any idiot with a computer at home and record a record alone. The internet is not at all bad for a music industry, of course, but it is undisputed that it is the voice of many artists, but Oasis may have been considered a last great band until the emergence of the internet. Supersonic is an inspiring, emotional, grandiose, compelling and somewhat nostalgic account of how not Manchester boys. Noel Gallagher and Liam became dismayed to this day.MAD FER IT !

Oasis were arguably the biggest rock band in the nineties. With reunion rumours circulating last year, Supersonic examines Noel and Liam Gallagher's childhood, forming Oasis, the band's explosion with "Definitely Maybe" and "(What's the Story) Morning Glory" and the inner turmoil as they became unstoppable superstars with their rebellious energy and epic songs.The documentary is framed by the band's biggest moment, two nights at Knebworth in August 1996, the band flying over the massive crowd in a helicopter.There is plenty for Oasis fans to enjoy, with home videos, rare footage (including an early rehearsal version of "All Around the World"), clever visuals (including dialogue animated by magazine cutouts) and regular commentary from Liam and Noel, their mother Peggy, brother Paul, Creation Records' Alan McGee (who signed the band in the early nineties) and former members Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs and Tony McCarroll amongst others.The heated, love-hate relationship between Liam and Noel is an important part of the documentary. The brothers admit their dynamic not only made the band so successful but eventually tore it apart. Personality-wise, Noel compares himself to a cat (quiet, introspective, independent) and Liam as a dog (loud, energetic and always needing attention).The supreme confidence of Liam and Noel made Oasis the swaggering force of rock music, and comes across – even 20 years later – in the interviews. Liam and Noel have no doubt Oasis were the biggest band on the planet, embracing their rowdy, bad boy image both in the press and on the road. When other band members (like McCarroll) couldn't handle Oasis' lifestyle anymore, Noel cut ties and moved on to find a replacement quickly, the band always came first. Noel's drive for success was immense, taking on more singing responsibilities to cover Liam's occasional early finishes and throat problems. Refreshingly, Noel and Liam are candid about the band's drug use on the road (which triggered the first of numerous Noel walkouts) and the abusive relationship with their estranged father Thomas, which got ugly when Thomas started using the press (who were suckers for anything Oasis- related) to his advantage. There's a lot of respect for their mother Peggy, who raised three boys by herself after leaving Thomas.Tellingly, Supersonic finishes in 1996, ignoring the drug-fuelled mess of "Be Here Now", their fall from mega-fame in the 2000s (after the disappointing "Standing on the Shoulder of Giants"), a late recovery and their 2009 split (when Noel finally walked out for good). This is for the best, as most Oasis fans would agree that "Definitely..." and "...Morning Glory" are the only albums that live up to Oasis' legacy. It's a wise choice, letting the documentary show Oasis at their very best.

Biblical, well I ain't no God fearing person but Whatever, the film captures, for most part, the simplicity we brought to being a modern day Rock n Roll star.There are two sides to it for the fan and the icon. The buzz of being recognized,quoted, followed and rich are fantastic and trying.To wake up and think "yeah I am really famous" as a first thought of the day is a buzz, a high better than any drug. But then after a while it grinds you down and you kinda want it to go away at times but it doesn't want too.I think the film shows signs of that and the demise was fame fatigue amongst other things.For the fans this is showing that we are just lucky guys who wrote and performed some great songs that caught the mood around at the time for a certain generation. Don't forget the Blur's and Suede and Elastica's but it's our tunes and our story that mirrors the times. Politics were dirty and confusing. The media were trying to create a Britpop scene and worse thing potato head did was sip champagne with Tory Blair, sorry Tony Blair. Stupidity aside come and rock n roll with me and the boys, I am all the things they say I am and then again I am nothing that has been written. One thing guaranteed. Love me and I will love you back. What makes the world go around? We did for sometime anyway. Love LGx
