Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Hats off the 3D Motion Graphic artist who created that gorgeous transformation shot with the world renowned artist, DAIM (Mirko Reisser). DAIM is hands down the BEST graffiti style typographical painter showing the highest level skill that is unmatched by anyone in the graffiti scene.My mind was blown when I saw DAIM's live action painted style shapes digitally mutate into what would be that abstract shape's natural progression into becoming a definable letter style. With the complexity of DAIM's letter style, I am very impressed with the 3D Motion Graphic artist who animated that scene.Great film!

Bomb It To protect priceless paintings from thieves we should transfer them onto immovable objects.Oh, wait, street artists, like the ones in this documentary, already do that.Beginning with a man named Cornbread, who in 1967 spray-painted his moniker around Philadelphia, tagging became a craze in urban areas across America.Considering themselves soldiers in an emotional, an artistic and a territorial war, faceless artists, like TAKI 183, Os Gêmeos, Terrible T-KID 170, Obey creator Shepard Fairey, and rapper KRS-One, descended upon their respected cities, bombing their neighbourhood with their nicknames creatively rendered with aerosol cans.As the movement spread to other countries, its self-aggrandizing origins were repurposed for political protest and government sanctioned public art.From subway walls, to Paris runways, to Hip Hop culture, Bomb It recounts the evolution of this controversial art form that begot a renaissance.Incidentally, until now, I thought building graffiti was just the architect's autograph.Green Light vidiotreviews.blogspot.com

I am so impressed with where this movie goes literally and metaphorically. I loved the animation used at the beginning and how it's sprinkled throughout, it worked perfectly! Congratulations Jon should be really proud of it. Plus it says so much about the world and the state it's in, you really get this feeling that Graffiti is a desperate act to communicate! The movie works on so many levels. It is pretty awe inspiring in it's scope, discussing graffiti from around the world, questioning art, questioning what makes a space public. I came away with the feeling that all graffiti artists all over world do it for basically the same reason and because of this it feels like a universal language, that the whole world is suffering from the same disease and these artists are reaching out through places that are seen by everyone.The movie is a gift , I hope a lot of people see it because they should!

First a long passage in New York, the first graffiti, the tags, the pieces (or however it is correctly named), the gangs, the people, the evolution. Paris, an artist, the groups in the streets, what they feel. Amsterdam, Barcelona, Hamburg, London, Berlin, São Paulo, Tokyo, Los Angeles. How to express yourself, how you evolved, what people think, why they do it, how does it fit around you. I advise you to see it with your eyes really open because there are some really funny moments that just pass by most of the people, like when some really common big advertisements show up in the streets. I found the documentary really interesting in general.
