Watch The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again For Free

The Worst Film Ever

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

This was just a popped out version of an iconic film and musical. It's supposed to be rock music and the lip-syncing is just too obvious and terrible. The cast seemed to have no energy and really was just a huge let down all round. If you have seen the original Rocky Horror Picture Show, don't waste your time with this because it will just make you mad. 10/10 would NOT recommend!!

All the negative reviewers are straight on. I will add a few more things.They obviously were reproducing, mostly, the play with a few flourishes from the movie so the shallowness can be somewhat explained.This deserves some credit for a few "spark"s of originality, namely a couple of lines of dialogue, good production, a modicum of update & an original song. If only they had spent a few more dollars on good writers, they could have updated the movie nicely. Let this be a lesson. You already have a good story & good songs: thats at least 1/3 of the movie.But don't use a tranny for the lead, OK? HE needs to be a transvestite, not a real transsexual. That was just a joke!Better luck next time, hopefully in this millennia.

I'm a very big fan of the original, and when I saw the remake was in the works, I was pretty stoked. However, after watching it, and then giving a second watch (after watching the original first) for comparison, and the benefit of the doubt, it's clear that it wasn't anywhere close to the campy quality of the original, and wasn't as fun to watch, if not difficult/uncomfortable to watch at times.There's a lot of things that I disliked about this remake, and I feel like I'm going to be dissecting everything. However I will give props on the costumes for Brad and Janet, but that's where I draw the line on accuracy. I love Victoria Justice's voice. It's very satisfying to listen to, but that's about it. She, among a lot of the cast, are clearly very into it, almost too into it, however there's not as much energy as the original, which I didn't think would be possible.The casting of Frank N Furter was sorta uncomfortable to watch, maybe it's just me that sees it as a little iffy for a transgender woman to play a man who just dresses as a woman (Frank is a transvestite, not a transgender woman). Clearly if Laverne Cox has no issue, then it's probably a complaint from a trans person with a differing point of view, as much as it may not be a real issue, it was still hard to watch due to the performance, especially with the accent slipping every so often. I'm a fan of Cox, but choosing a woman for the role, and making Frank a woman, isn't really the direction I saw this going in, nor am I a fan of it.There's the casting of Brad and Janet, who easily made the best performances of the movie. Reeve Carney was also one of the better choices in casting, the actor has a great voice which suited the character of Riff-Raff, and didn't blend into the background as much as Magenta did. When she did have dialogue, she was hard to watch and had a very grating high voice. Columbia wasn't memorable. They tried to compensate for the flat performance with the bright pink and blue hair, but didn't really succeed. In the original she had plenty of energy, but this version seemed to take the punk aesthetic too far with the "not caring attitude" but it just made her unlikeable. There's not much room for complaint with Rocky, as he stayed mostly close to the original character, there's not much dialogue to mess up for him. Ben Vereen turned Dr Scott into a comedic character, which isn't a very favourable character change either.The biggest flaw in casting to me was Adam Lambert being picked to play Eddie. I understand he's a big LGBT icon, and I have a feeling the modern LGBT community was the audience this remake was mostly aimed at, and that he's a singer with a great voice, I unironically listen to his old hits on a regular basis as well as his new ones. But his voice just doesn't do it for me in this particular genre (being rock n roll). Meatloaf gave some amazing grinding vocals for a real rock n roll feel, but I wouldn't say that Lambert's voice achieved this, and like a lot of the other parts of the movie, fell flat, turning a rock n roll song into a horrendous and sloppy pop anthem.Some of the songs were okay, such as "There's a Light (Over at the Frankenstein Place", and "Dammit Janet". But the Time Warp and Sweet Transvestite were butchered, which is a shame, as those are the most iconic parts of the movie. In other words, a complete debacle, like "Hot Patootie – Bless My Soul" and "Eddie" (though arguably we hear some rock-style vocals from Lambert, which would have been nice to see earlier when he had a full song)."Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch Me" fell flat (I feel like I've said this a lot), I feel like it was watered down from the original. The song is supposed to be sexier, the subject matter of the song can't exactly be watered down like they did here, and the mismatch of the song lyrics and the actions from everyone involved in the song made me feel like I was watching a school production as opposed to the movie that gives a nod to a few adult themes. The whole movie seems watered down to get as low of an age rating as possible and to cause as little offense as possible. That and making it "old school rock and roll" but as modern as possible? This is another mismatch that just didn't sit right.I enjoyed seeing Tim Curry making an appearance, but it was also unsettling, considering he'd be associated with a movie that was a mockery of the one that helped to start his career, I wonder how he feels about it post- production?The remake didn't do the original any justice, but you can tell they really tried. Props to everyone involved for really trying to make this a good production but the efforts didn't really have a great result. The audience participation prompts were an interesting addition, but didn't revive the performances from half of the cast. The original should have been left alone, as the cult classic we know and love, that is almost a decade shy of being 50 years old.

so many bad things about this film, the casting choices were terrible , costumes were poor, singing was painful. acting was even worse, i have seen many live shows and all were better than this.. my local schools version was far better. an insult to Richard O'Brians masterpiece. i couldn't be more angry at this film, or any film.I understand they tried to make it more modern but those involved should be ashamed for butchering a classic
