MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx has dismissed the influx of negative professional critic reviews the band's biopic "The Dirt" has received, insisting that the fans love the movie. He tweeted on Friday: "The album is number #1.The fans are going crazy over #TheDirt. The critics hate it. @MotleyCrue @netflix WORLD FUCKING WIDE." "The Dirt" currently has an 88% audience score from 220 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, an online review aggregation service that allows the public to score the movies alongside critics. It has a 46% critic score from 33 reviews on the same site. Indiewire David Ehrlich called "The Dirt" "wonderfully bad" and compared it to last year's QUEEN biopic "Bohemian Rhapsody". "Bohemian Rhapsody" has a 61% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes but won four Oscars. "For all the unique details of their story (and their sound), QUEEN's big screen bow was so generic that it felt like Bryan Singer was trying to gaslight everyone into forgetting that 'Walk Hard' had already reduced this entire genre to a joke," Ehrlich wrote. "And for all the legendary hedonism that defined their lives, MÖTLEY CRÜE's movie feels like it could have been made about any one of a zillion other bands. Hell, it could even have been made about QUEEN!" Los Angeles Times called "The Dirt" "horribly timed," "astoundingly tone deaf" and "as vapid and misogynistic as the band members and the book they wrote with author Neil Strauss." The Daily Beast said that "The Dirt" "spends almost two hours glamorizing shitty behavior, and then attempts to exonerate its stars with a few vague voiceovers about regret and rehabilitation." The Atlantic wrote: "The danger of a document like 'The Dirt' is in showing pigheadedness as not only fun and cool, but also elemental, inexplicable, and unstoppable." "The Dirt" movie, which was helmed by "Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa" director Jeff Tremaine, was picked up by Netflix after being previously developed at Focus Features and before that at Paramount. "The Dirt Soundtrack" accompanies the movie and features a collection of MÖTLEY CRÜE classics that meaningfully underscore significant moments that shape the film. Exclusive to the film's soundtrack, MÖTLEY CRÜE recorded four new songs, including the single "The Dirt (Est. 1981) (feat. Machine Gun Kelly)", "Ride With The Devil" and "Crash And Burn", plus a cover of Madonna's "Like A Virgin".
