Becoming Led Zeppelin Ratings & Reviews
- roperm4d agoOne of the best music documentaries I have seen but I do absolutely adore Led Zep.
- RipLinesManApril 8, 2025Becoming Led Zeppelin isn’t Event Horizon (1997), but it taps into the same cosmic abyss—only instead of blood and fire, it’s riffs and myth, echoing through time like a spell half-remembered. Watching it feels less like a documentary and more like staring into the amp stack of the universe and hearing it whisper back.
- Michael SurberJune 10, 2025Utterly fantastic. Incredible footage, especially the early live performances. Jimmy Page is revealed to be the guitar god he has always been proclaimed to be. If you are even remotely a fan, do not miss this epic film.
- martino980April 25, 2025Genius. All of them. Great documentary.
- capitolfiApril 8, 2025Depending on the day, my favorite rock band could either be the Stones, Alice in Chains, or Led Zeppelin. Most days, it's Zeppelin. And most of what they did all happened before I was born... They're also each more musician than rock star, so having this produced with their cooperation is pretty damn cool. It doesn't contain anything all that revelatory and sticks to the music pretty much entirely, but that isn't a bad thing. The music speaks for itself. So, as a glimpse at their rise to fame, it's good. Do I wish there was more to it? Absolutely. Matter of fact, when the credits started rolling I was like "that's it"...having no idea it had already been 2 hours. For that reason, I can't fault it for what it isn't.
- RyezooFebruary 7, 2025Led Zeppelin likes to smell their own farts. This sanctioned by the band documentary is quite possibly one of the worst music docs I’ve seen. Hardly any substance, terribly edited, 50 percent of the movie is just songs being played at full length. I wanted to learn things, I would of loved to hear from other people. Also hiding away all the drugs, women, and fame aspect of rock n roll the achieved is so lame. SKIP and wait for a proper documentary
- bcyberMay 29, 2025Better appreciate their work after watching this! Amazing 👏
- craigg75April 21, 2025Very enjoyable if you are a Led Zeppelin fan. It delves into how these guys got together and the immense amount of music knowledge they had coming out of the gate. Very interesting how they created the first two albums and each of the songs. If you are a fan of LZ, you won't be disappointed.
- Alan RycroftApril 21, 2025Best band documentary I've ever seen. Superb
- RichardApril 17, 2025Robert Plant thinks he’s as important as the moon landings.. and I guess ‘becoming’ Led Zeppelin is key.. nothing after 1970
