Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
I should have not seen this movie or at least not at my age. Heavy Metal is a film I have heard a bit about before I saw it. Like in that episode of South Park: Major Boobage, where Kenny gets high on cat pee and is sent to a fantasy world which parodies three of the films stories. I like that episode and I got all the references in the movie but I was not in store for all the adult stuff and naked things. I don't know it's just weird. I did find some of the scenes in the movie like the end of the Captain Sternn or too say most of the captain Sternn short especially the end. I only recommend this film too those who can handle this kind of material or who are fans of South Park or fans of the comic which spawned this movie. I never saw the comic and I didn't know there was a comic until before I saw this film.8 out of 10.
This adult animated sci-fi/fantasy movie is an anthology of stories adapted from the magazine of the same name and original stories in the same spirit. It's full of violence and nudity and accompanied by the music of great rock and metal names of its time, including Sammy Hagar, Blue Öyster Cult, Cheap Trick, Don Felder, Nazareth, Journey, Stevie Nicks and legendary Black Sabbath. I think it gained cult status more because of its name, awesome music and naked women, than its objective quality, but although it's now outdated, those who grew up in eighties and nineties will understand its greatness, even if they're watching it now for the first time.8/10
This animation is rated R for a reason - it is catered to adults that were (and maybe still are) fans of Heavy Metal Magazine. A fair warning for parents: this movie really is not for kids.I was 9 years old when this film came but I did not get to see it until I was 13 or 14 years old (maybe I was 15) anyway, the movie's story is not all that bad - but it's not that grand either. I am not a fan of the soundtrack either although some of the songs are OK. It's worth watching for the artwork (animation) and pure nostalgia factor.This movie is OK. And it most definitely is a cult classic film - it's not a film for everyone.6/10
Grimaldi returns home from a Space Shuttle trip landing his Corvette through the atmosphere. He bring home a present for his daughter, a glowing green orb called the Loc-Nar. It turns out to be a sum of all evil. It disintegrates Grimaldi and shows the little girl how he destroys the lives of people it touches in a series of short stories.The animation is dated with the 70s style. The material is violent and full of scantily clad women. It is sexist and juvenile. It just does it with such abandon that it fully develops what it promises. It revels in the big boobs women in tiny outfits and muscle bound men. It's grotesque. It's got good music. It's a cult classic and fully deserves to be.
