who ever reviewed this should first know something about the subject. Could I Imagine Jimi saying dig it? are you insane have you ever recordings of the man. The interview sequence was almost verbatim to the actual interview.
Wood Harris did an excellent job as Jimi he was so believable I forgot he wasn't him. Thats called acting.
He must have spent weeks studying the moves mannerisms and speech of jimi.
And as far as the strumming being off. He is actually playing the right parts on Hey Joe and some other lead guitar jams. The only thing that was not copied exact is the Monterey guitar was the wrong color I feel this was due to licensing thing with Fender guitars as the headstock's also did not have a Fender Logo.
The performance of Wild Thing and the Star spangled Banner were spot on right down to the exact movements and stage clothes.
Whoever did the vocals did an excellent job also
The script may have been weak but for Hendrix fans it was magical to watch Wood Harris recreate the most revered guitar player of all time who was actually as much visual as he was musical.
My son and I played the actual Monterey performance right behind the Wood Harris performance and they are almost identical.
More movies should pay attention to detail and continuity.
I own the DVD and watch it a couple of times a year.
