Movie Reviews of Heavy Metal 2000
Movie Review: I prefer this to the first
Summary: 3 Stars
The first Heavy Metal was in my opinion a waste of time. They had six stories that were connected only by a strange green orb and other than that had nothing to do with each other besides sex and gore (which for some is a good thing). Heavy metal F.A.K.K. 2 (or HEavy MEatal 2000) however is in my opinion the better film. For one thing they focus on one story this time. The story is about a young women who is out for revenge after an insane captain attacks her planet so he can find the secret to immortality. He capturtes the people and kills those who defy him, or just some for the hell of it. SHe seeks out to stop him and eventually tehy battle on the planet where the secret is held.BEcause of the further focus on story that means that the sex and gore had to be toned down some. Not to the extent that it would drive people away but just enough to tell a good story. However in the end it just doesn't live up. In the end it would be for fans only.
Movie Review: Julie Strain is ...
Summary: 3 Stars
The animation is OK and some of the songs are quite Good. The voices are good, I really enjoyed to hear billy idol and Tyler (don't remember the name of the actor). The storyline could have been better ... there's to much "cliché" in this movie. But what I really hated here is the way they promote Julie Strain (the real one). You see pictures of here when the heroes are in a city, all the extra are oriented to tell us "how julie strain is fantastic", ... and she lack of modesty. It's quite bad when the story & spirit of HM is put behind only to put in front a person from reality. Gave 3 stars anyway for animation, music and design (Since english is not my main language, sorry if it's not easy to read).Movie Review: Somewhat disappointing
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm a big fan of the Heavy Metal comic series and I loved the first movie, but this wasn't what I had hoped. Don't get me wrong, the animation is crisp, clear, and clean and it's great to look at, but the story is pretty uninspired. It's gory, violent, funny, and it's just a fun movie to watch, but if your expecting to see greatness like in the first movie, avoid this. But if you like adult animation with a twist, give it a try. By the way, the soundtrack rocks, and the Pantera song really enhanced the air battle scene in the beginning.Movie Review: HMK2
Summary: 3 Stars
If you loved the original for not being politically correct then you will not like HMK2 as much as you did the original HM. Its just a slightly more violent cartoon with so/so music. The movie is no where near the quality of the original. Its still an ok movie but has no real relation with the original. The DVD has no real special Features to talk about but still well done. I would recommend this movie but if your expecting something like the original you will be disappointed.Movie Review: Not such a great example of Heavy Metal
Summary: 3 Stars
I am a long-time subscriber of Heavy Metal (the magazine) and I believe that, along with many others, that the original Heavy Metal film was a much better display of the creativity of these kinds of artists.
This movie, while I do like, seemed just not on point. It is still worth a watch but...rent it before you decide to make the purchase.
