God Bless Ozzy
Osbourne
Eagle Vision
In some ways, God
Bless Ozzy Osbourne seems a bit unnecessary, a bit of grandeur and
posturing as it were for a man who helped to shape the course of heavy music
throughout the years. As far as content,
God Bless Ozzy Osbourne covers
the necessary evils – Black Sabbath, drug addiction (sort of), and family life,
though the proceedings are less than biting. God Bless Ozzy Osbourne plays like a skeleton outline of Ozzy’s
life. While the mans alcoholism is addressed, it’s quickly dismissed as just
being part of Osbourne’s lifestyle back in the day. Osbourne’s tenure with
Sabbath is discussed as well, though it’s the segments involving Osbourne’s
relationship with the late Randy Rhodes that provide the most enlightening and
touching sections of the film. In terms of added content, God Bless Ozzy Osbourne
offers a collection of deleted scenes (check out Ozzy's fight with the
film's director) and a Q&A between the man and his sullen son Jack. God Bless Ozzy Osbourne is a film
seemingly better suited for those who haven’t been following along with
Osbourne’s trials and tribulations throughout the years, though it is more than
worth a viewing, just keep in mind that it probably won’t offer much in the way
of groundbreaking information. ‘
