Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Luecarou What begins as a feel-good-human-interest story turns into a mystery, then a tragedy, and ultimately an outrage.

classicsoncall Well what can I add to the conversation that hasn't already been said about Rocky Horror, both good and bad. It's decadent, bawdy, camp and audacious, and for those of a scientific bent, it serves as a nifty sc-fi flick as well. Actually, for whatever reason, I began watching this film before about three or four times in the past and never got to see the entire thing until this morning. Something always managed to interrupt my viewing pleasure. Except for Brad Majors (Barry Bostwick) and his fiancee Janet Weiss (Susan Sarandon), all the rest of the characters are way over the top and outrageous, so by the time the picture hits it's stride, Brad and Janet have become corrupted as well. I can't say that I approve of the message it sends to teenage and young adult viewers exploring their own sexuality because it's bound to raise all kinds of questions to cause confusion. There's probably no other single movie out there that promotes it's 'let it all hang out' message as forcefully or creatively. But taken at face value, the picture is a garish romp set to an inventive musical score that gets one's energy flowing and feet set to dancing. In fact, and it's kind of embarrassing to admit, but last week my high school graduating class celebrated it's fiftieth reunion, and our dinner/dance evening was capped off with a rousing rendition of 'The Time Warp'! Very appropriate under the circumstances, and you had to know it was a blast when the entire waitstaff looked on in amazement and broke out their cell phone cameras. Those of us who could still get around put on quite the show.

moshomaniac The story of a clean-cut bunch of kids who embark on a night out after getting engaged, only to end up breaking down and seeking refuge in the castle of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a bisexual, transvestite mad scientist from outer space(you read that right). Frank is creating a man ala Frankenstein: the buff, blonde-haired Rocky Horror, who has been created as a means of relieving the doctor's sexual tension. Only the monster is straight. Before the night is over, Rocky Horror and the Doctor will be dead, the servants will leave for another planet, beaming up the whole house in their wake, and Brad and Janet will both lose their virginity and their own personal values.Richard O'Brien's madcap spoof of Sci-fi, B-movies, Horror, Rock Music, and sexuality first made its mark in 1973 as "The Rocky Horror Show", before it made its silver screen debut in 1975. The bizarre, genre defying, hilariously twisted film initially bombed in theatres before they realized that it needed to be played in the midnight circuits, then it soon became a cult phenomenon.To call the movie offbeat is an understatement. It is literally 2 hours of insanity, crazy, fitfully amusing insanity perhaps, but still insanity. Tim Curry's classic gender-bending role as the mad Dr. Furter has become his signature role, and the film has become less of a movie, and more of a full-blown ritual with its legions of fans. This film is best viewed with a audience, as the participation is the key to its full enjoyment. The songs and settings have become iconic, household tunes, and the film spawned a sequel, "Shock Treament", in 1981. Though the sequel didn't do very well, the original RHPS still enjoys success to this day, with over 40 years of midnight movie madness. Check it out.

dinkaxd Now I want to talk about the longest-running movie in the world 'Rocky Horror picture Show'. It is based on the worldwide popular musical. The story centers on a young couple and the inhabitats of a strange castle, reighed by the charismatic Dr.Frank-n-Furter and played by the famous Tim Currey. The film is directed by Jim Sharman and the film tells the story of wierdness and glam, love and murder, fake blood and mascara. Ok, ok I know you did not understand. The film begins as a couple enters a strange-looking castle with schizophrenical inhabitants. At first glance, the freaks are friendly and cute, but they are keeping a terrible misery quiet created by Dr.Frank-n-Furter, a sweet transvestite from the Transsexual planet in galactic Transylvania (as he calls himself). But can the human beings kill him and free all the freaks? For many fans,the best thing about ROCKY is the music and songs. I do not fully agree. I think that the lyrics are a bit stupid. On the other hand , I found a character who does not run in front on your eyes, but goes straight to your heart - Colombia, the servant of Dr.Frank-n-Furter, a beautiful young girl with red hair, make-up and a broken heart. I would recommend this film to anyone who likes musicals and glam. VERDICT:Let's do the time warp again!!!

mike48128 A couple of things I don't like about both versions is the annoying narrator and how short "Eddie" Meat Loaf) has in the movie. His solo is a "showstopper". Eddie is one of Dr. Frank-N-Furter's failures and is hacked to pieces by Frank after singing and crashing his "cycle" throughout the house. Why there are several cyclists is never explained. Tim Curry is the Transsexual Thing from Outer Space. (That's the reference to RKO Radio Pictures). "Rocky" is an amazing physical specimen and indeed does resemble Charles Atlas. Has several memorable songs including the opener with the famous red lips. (Science Fiction),Time-warp, Dammit Janet, and the "a toucha me" song stand out. Susan Sarandon is delicious as undressed Janet Weiss with her white Maidenform underwear. She goes from virgin to sex fiend in about a minute. Wow. Teasing skin and some male & female genitalia on white statues. (Big deal?) Yeah, skimpy and tight costumes. Gets a tat creepier in the middle, as the difficult subject(s) of straight, gay and incestual sexual encounters gets explored. It should be watched uncut, as the cable telecast censors a few shots and words. Silly and nice ending as Frankie, Columbia, and Rocky get zapped and the spaceship-castle returns to it's home planet of Transylvania. It's implied that Frank and Columbia might make it back home also. (Watch UK version.) Only Brad, Janet, and Dr. Von Scott remain on Earth. Yes, it is much more fun with repeated viewings. Quite risqué for it's time. Watch it with the "Midnight Theater Soundtrack" on disc. Made on an incredibly small budget, but very well filmed. It's a UK movie and plays much like a filmed Broadway Musical, for the most part! 5:1 sound and the mono tracks are quite good. Picture quality is amazing.
