La originals is a documentry ,first i will say that im not big fan of them since they have to simple stories for me or they are exploring lifes of people that i dont care about,and i never heard before watching this about people they are focusing story on,on photographer and tattoo artist,but after watching it i appriciated what they were making,and i had solid time in front of screen,i will say also that that two guys expecely mister cartoon are very good in their jobs and they showed how they share passion for staff that they are doing,la originals was a fine documentry but it didnt win me over completly so i can start to enjoy watching staff like this more

Awesome watch and lots of detail. A must watch for entertainment seekers.

Very well put together. Highly recommended, regardless of whether you're into this genre or not!

One of the most entertaining documentaries I've seen for awhile. Highly recommended.

As someone who grew up on hip hop culture and specialises in arts I was really excited to see the roots of the LA scene. This movie had me glued to my seat for the first 20/30 minutes but after that I started to notice a lot of flaws. The progression of a timeline is very disorganised. They keep jumping from one time to another and then back to one from 4 stories ago. It's all over the place. It's also very celebrity soundbite oriented with half of the clips being reused over and over again. Like I get it: a bunch of famous rappers said Cartoon/Estevan is cool. I don't need to see the same clips on repeat every few minutes. Plenty other endlessly recycled material also. It's a cool watch but it's not that deep and after 20/30 minutes you've pretty much seen the whole movie. Kind of disappointing.

Great Sunday afternoon documentary about the guy who tattooed loads of famous hip hop stars and took loads of great photos. Simple.

Not many movies are focused on other nationalities than Caucasian........How they let this movie focus on artists from other cultures??? Maybe they lost the control???

First off, much props to Mr Cartoon and Estevan. But here im reviewing the documentary and not them. I feel it focussed way too much on celebs and their soundbites. It is supposed to impress people that are in the celeb worshiping culture. Im not. Im much more interested in authentic stories and real people. The part where they document non celebrities and people that live the LA street culture for real was a very small segment towards the end of the doc. Which was the greatest and most interesting part of the doc. Too much of this documentary was celebrities saying how cool Cartoon's tats are and how cool Estevan's pictures are. Kind of a huge circle jerking type of ish that goes on a lot in generic documentaries. That's a shame, since there is so much potential with Cartoon and Estevan as a the centre of a documentary and with such a budget. It could have become epic, instead of generic.
