Very disappointed :(

the audience applauded

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Hmmm. A "Bob Dylan movie" I'd never heard of before and thought to myself Oh no, not again. Surely it couldn't be worse than, say, Masked and Anonymous, or the saga of Renaldo and Clara? So I started to read some reviews and was surprised at how bad it's supposed to be. In the end, I was reticent to even watch it. Well I did just watch it and for me, I enjoyed it thoroughly.It's definitely not a cinematic masterpiece by any stretch. The draw card for me was seeing Dylan in an old movie. Wasn't expecting much, (expecting to fall asleep).It's difficult to say if a viewer has no interest in Dylan, (or Fiona), what the reaction would be. This movie is nearly 30 years old. Dylan is usually no great actor in films. Here he seems to be "acting" as himself, (whoever he is), with some iconic lines.It's definitely a much better movie than many critics portray it as. Better than a lot of the new crap I've suffered through.

I loved the movie. I LOVE BOB Dylan!!!!! Bob is so cute in this movie. I think Fiona's singing is that she is only screaming. She cannot sing. I am sorry. I am one of those who only bought the movie because of Bob. His songs are good, his acting is OK. I think he is acting himself, and not having to put any effort into it. I like the fact that he even agreed to do this movie, being that Bob is supposed to be considered a recluse. There are a few funny moments and those are Memorex moments. LOL Bob does show a caring feeling at times, and I believe it is from his heart. I like the part when Bob tells Fiona at the beginning that Rupert's music sucks. That was cute. Also, when Bob puts the harmonica up to the bus driver's neck pretending he had a knife. That was cute. But only in the movies.... Only in the movies. This movie is DEFINITELY recommended for Dylan fans.

This should be the classic of all the dramas which intends to lead by something more than a story.Music naturally seems to fit in it and the surroundings are pretty documentary and simple.The "sleepy"town and an "ordinary"girl with husky voice and not so handsome guy brightens. Personally I saw the girl as the symbolic of AMERICA,living to keep and show her passion,with a lion like hair and never try to hide it.

Bob Dylan once said that hearing the voice of Elvis Presley for the first time was "like bustin' out of jail." So what exactly is this thing called "Hearts of Fire"? Dylan's attempt to pay tribute to Elvis movies like "Spinout" and "Tickle Me"? This is a bad film, a very bad film. Dylan is the only interesting thing about it. It's not his performance or his songs (none of the ones he wrote for the film are memorable) that make it interesting, though. Rather it's just the fact that he agreed to be associated with it at all. Trying to figure out why he decided to take a role in this film will leave you feeling as baffled as Mr. Jones in the famous song.
