After looking forward to seeing this for months, I was inevitably disappointed in the end result. The footage was great, and it was full of stuff nobody has ever seen before, which I appreciated. However, Julien Temple shouldn't have been let near this. Keeping the interviewees in the shadows, like they do on Unsolved Mysteries when they're trying to hide peoples identity, was much more annoying than creative. Overall, the material can't be denied, the Sex Pistols were a great band and lots of people were waiting for the definitive documentary about them, but the directing very nearly ruined it.
