Members vikingrat Posted June 22, 2012 Members Share Posted June 22, 2012 It is truly amazing. Tom really brought it home for me. I hear that Joe and The Save from Def Lep really loved it as well. Who can blame them? As much as i loved Across The Universe i think this may even be better. Truly amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he really enjoyed a fine night of entertainment. It is a truly amazing movie. As amazing as the musical is the film may even be better.

Members TeleFromHelly Posted June 22, 2012 Members Share Posted June 22, 2012 I was pretty stoked for this to come out, then I saw a clip of zeta jones singing something. The songs aren't even redone well, just like her singing over the backing track. Maybe the others are different, but based on reviews I doubt it. Even Moulon Rouge had a badass Elton John cover. Across the universe did some awesome covers as well, I love really clean/produced, well done covers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members genesis3 Posted June 22, 2012 Members Share Posted June 22, 2012 yea it's just hard to imagine any scenario where the outrageously intentional campiness of musicals works with blood and guts hard rock. they're just two different worlds...might be entertaining for other reasons (performances, vibe,etc) though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like yourself i felt that Across The Universe was truly a magical experience. How could it not be? My fave band of all time along with Radiohead is The Beatles. You need to see ROA in a theater.

Members Skyforger Posted June 22, 2012 Members Share Posted June 22, 2012 When debating whether or not to see this movie, "From the director of Hairspray" gave me a vital clue... I have not seen it. I will not see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vikingrat Posted June 22, 2012 Members Share Posted June 22, 2012 Across the Universe was a cess-ridden bastardization of the greatest rock music ever written. I don't plan on repeating the experience by seeing Rock of Ages. I lived it in the 80's and don't need to see a musical to tell me how it was. While i would agree that The Beatles along with Radiohead and The Counting Crows is the greatest rock music ever written, i felt that Across The Universe brought the majesty and pageantry of the Fabs to a new generation and put into a context that could be appreciated by people from every walk of life. I feel that ROA has done the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members McManus Posted June 22, 2012 Members Share Posted June 22, 2012 Its Coyote Ugly with some major stars in minor subplots added in. If you think random people bursting out in song, outdated pop songs, is so funny that the joke never gets tired, ... even over 2 hours, then this is your "guy gets hit in the nuts". The moral to the story is that as bad as hair metal is boy bands are still worse. This film is very careful to avoid even the slightest hint of Grunge music so the viewer isn't reminded that they actually hate hair metal. Hollywood is so much cooler these days.

Members vikingrat Posted June 22, 2012 Members Share Posted June 22, 2012 I wonder if they marketed it wrong. Perhaps people thought is was a action adventure movie or a documentary. I really do think if they took the stage production on ice it would be as moving as Sgt Peepers was with the Bee Gees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AxAxSxS Posted June 22, 2012 Members Share Posted June 22, 2012 Yeah, looks great. Let's take all the overly comercial crap that sucked in the 80's and have another go at it. I won't be encouraging them with my dollars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was Adam Shankman? Honestly, I'm just checking IMDb since I recall seeing "From the director of Hairspray" on an ad plastered on a bus I got stuck behind on the motorway. EDIT: Just looked up John Waters. He wrote the screenplay for Hairspray, but didn't direct. I think Justin Theroux and some other guys wrote Rock of Ages.

Members genesis3 Posted June 22, 2012 Members Share Posted June 22, 2012 forgotten Freddie already huh? It's hard explain the difference...but it's not the same ...maybe the best way to explain it would be to say, when your watching the typical musical, you know that overwhelming sense of camp is part and parcel to the whole production. It's camp for camps sake, at least to me....Mercury doing camp on record and in concert is a fleeting thing at best, he always comes back to GENUINE rock intensity at some point on a record or in a show, whereas a musical only has genuine camp thru and thru...make sense?
