For a while, the obviousness and flat-out vulgarity are sort of entertaining, and it might be possible to enjoy the movie as a camp classic if you could ignore the mean-spiritedness that keeps breaking through.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Hysteria, however skillfully maintained, should never be mistaken for art -- a caution that applies equally to Stone and his subject.
While it has its moments, taken by itself, The Doors amounts to little more than an impressionistic look at a boy and his death wish.
Insidiously funny and remarkably truthful about the psychedelic rock scene in the late 1960.
The whole movie is white hot, lapped in honeyed golds, evilly blue and black or drenched in those swoony, fiery reds. The Doors blasts your ears and scorches your eyes.
