It's refreshing to see a music biopic that might actually capture the raw, hungry energy of a band's climb rather than just the burnout phase. Fingers crossed they nail that '80s rock vibe without it feeling like a nostalgia cash grab.
Honestly, it's cool to see a biopic focus on a band's grind to the top instead of just the drama after they've made it. I'm just hoping the movie's energy matches the hype of their '80s arena anthems.
