Val Kilmer is surprisingly very good in this biopic of the man behind the band, so much so in fact, that you would be forgiven for forgetting that it's not the real Jim Morrison. The movie does portray Morrison to be a bit of a pretentious enigma rather than the very troubled man that he clearly was. Great music though.
