Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/drugs/vehicle crash/bodily functions/dismemberment/stabbing/impaling/cutting/self harm/attempted suicide if my memory is correct so obviously this could be wrong/reference to racism and I will be using adult censored language at one point as well.

Let's just get this over with shall we?: Briefly this project focuses on a portion of Robbie Williams musical artist career and not actor I know they have different names one is Robbie and the other is Robin, but just in case you get confused I have clarified it for you, but I digress [Robert/Robbie Williams provides voice for narrator position and vocals/whilst Younger Robbie: Carter J. Murphy and Adam Tucker provides voice or/and additional song vocals and finally Jonno Davies provides voice and motion caption:] yes for those that haven't heard or don't know Williams has always seen himself as an animal in this case a monkey so that is what he is in this film and no I am not joking.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 135 minutes film is good; it has lots to cover and just get on with it.

Art and action; the musical tracks sometimes combined with a musical dance routine these are for me a consistent highlight to this film and should be given high praise. Now this is where I should give you a friendly heads up; this is now the end of the most of the positive and kind words and have to say about this film, so if you want to stop here I will see you again soon in other content. But if you choose to continue I am going to be professional, but hardly pleasant; certainly have been warned.

I didn't want to see this film, but there wasn't anything else suitable for the person that watches some these films with me that they wanted to see and just for the record she didn't want to see this film either, but it was the only option at the time.

We really didn't want to see it based on the fact of this ridiculous and stupid concept of this monkey, you know it really does undermine the vast majority of this film and the combat with these monkeys being from an artistic perspective or an action perspective or both: the sequence is good [and yes I do understand the symbolism which is the best of the character developments by miles.]

Script, character developments and voice performances; I have to be honest this script and consequently character developments doesn't make Williams look to good, I do understand that it is a biography so it is what it is. But as Williams is providing narration you would think now and again you would say is hindsight I would like to apologise for that, but the nearest we get to some kind of apology is when he highlights that one of his partners back in the day had a terrible taste in men and later on we get these token apologies, but nothing like; I missed that vitally important moment in my life and that is probably my biggest regret not being there for this person which has always been my biggest supporter. You know this movie/the floor was his to speak and for himself to point out his own failings so he could show a maturer side, but all we got was me, me, me, me, me and with his bravado as well, be it Williams the person or Williams the entertainer, you know in hindsight as I am a cynical old goat maybe this project was to be put out to either garner some kind of sympathy or empathy for Williams, but for me and the person I watch some of this content with we both agree; it is not a good look for him as it makes him look as if he was the only one that mattered and I know aware you started out when he was 15, but for me that is no excuse and I will discuss that again later and for the voice performances they are good.

This film receives: 2/10, this film is poor; yes I am the person I watch some of this content with may not have wanted to watch this film in the first place, but having seen it, I can now tell you it is by in large one of the worst biographer film titles I have ever seen and including the fact that the person I went with to see this film had to remind me that I had to quickly be quiet; because what I was saying was a bit loud at the ending credits and whilst I'm on the subject there is some photographs in this section; but I digress as I was saying quite loudly "That was worst biography film I have seen." Actually the more we got closer to the end, it just irritated me, because as I have already referenced it was 15 years old when he got his break with Take That and you know what when I was 16 years old I had to take one some heavy responsibilities and to this very day at the age of almost 42 years old [when this content was first created] I am still taking on responsibilities and as the film will show, Williams wanted to be famous and fortune, so he got what he wanted you just didn't want to pay the price that came with that fame, I actually regret seeing this film, this is one of those occasions where you can’t unlearn what you have learned, I mean I knew Williams was reckless from time to time, but didn’t know it was a bit of a posterior and just in case you think I am being harsh; the figures for this film don't lie this film has a budget of $110 million and currently it is standing at $19 million taken at the box office, so I may not be a maths genius, but we are looking at anywhere or less of an $81 million loss. Somehow this film title has some awards accredited to its name such as 40 Nominees which include but not limited to Academy Awards, USA 2025 Oscars Best Achievement in Visual Effects Luke Millar David Clayton Keith Herft Peter Stubbs and Golden Globes, USA 2025 Golden Globe Best Original Song, Motion Picture Robbie Williams Freddy Wexler Sacha Skarbek For "Forbidden Road"
