Show more >> Harley Davidson: Making of a Legend is an interesting ride, although it doesn't quite hit the high notes it aims for. The film dives into the history of Harley Davidson, showcasing the brand's ups and downs, but at times, it feels a bit like a promotional video rather than a deep dive into its cultural significance. The interviews are heartfelt, and you can feel the passion from the riders, but I wished for a bit more grit and controversy, something to really spice it up. The visuals of the bikes are stunning, and the open road shots are beautifully done, but the pacing drags in parts, making it a bit of a slog towards the end. Overall, it’s worth a watch if you’re curious about the brand, but don’t expect a groundbreaking documentary. Show less
