Movie Reviews of Heavy Metal 2000
Movie Review: To quote Hank Hill...Wut in duh(...)?
Summary: 1 Stars
I just want to say off the bat, that I don't find anything attractive about 6-foot chicks. At ALL. How is that sexy? How? HOW? The ideal woman should be shorter. Cute. Petite. Athletic. You know the deal.With that said, this movie is a train wreck. A sheer train wreck. I'd rather stab myself in the eye than watch this (...) again. How did this lame(...) story even get the title of "Heavy Metal"? The characters are ugly and unappealing. The plot is a bigger mess than my workbench. The animation is decent- the HAND-DRAWN animation. The computerized stuff is ugly and jarring. It looks totally out of place- especially during the oh-so-confusing ending. The action is stupid and repetive. The dialogue is a joke ("You fools! You FOOLS! HAHAHAHAAHA). Everything is a joke. The people who even enjoyed this movie are sad, pathetic jokes. (...)This "cartoon" isn't even worth using as toilet paper. Buy drugs instead, they're better for you.
The people who made the original 1981 classic should be ashamed.
Movie Review: A Waste of Time
Summary: 1 Stars
The appeal of the original was that it was an animated version of the magazine. The appeal of the origial magazine was the mixture of styles, and the effortless "bad boy" attitude it exuded as a whole. As to the meandering plot? That was part of the appeal. If you didn't like one approach, there were at least three or more others that would turn you on! Heavy Metal 2000 misses the point entirely. It was flat, boring and felt like "Walt Disney Gets a Woody". I mean, it even had the same visual style of "Beauty and the Beast". The effortless adolescent raunch of #1 was replaced with the forced, "Aren't we bad? tee-hee!"And get a load of the hero, a whiny genXer that the original Den would have snapped in two. He wasn't cool, he was a pain! The heroine just kept missing the mark. The whole thing was kid stuff!
Don't waste your money, rent the second one and buy the first one and prepare to leave your brain at home!
Movie Review: Bonus stuff way cool, but the film itself STINKS!!
Summary: 1 Stars
The story of this film would have been better had they used the so-called film adaption of the summer 1999 magazine...when i read that i was blown away and couldn't wait for the film to be released. Now i can see why this film was never released theatrically. The 2D Animation reminds me of saturday morning cartoons.. The 3D animation for the spaceships doesn't blend well with the 2D stuff. What's with all the fade to black after every other scene ? Felt like i was watching something on tv with the commercials missing. Music snippets didn't last too long.. all around crap... I love the sndtrk... I still buy the magazine... And yeah I own the DVD and wouldn't give it up. Heavy Metal collector the last 15 yrs. the 1980 film was by far betterMovie Review: A vain attempt.
Summary: 1 Stars
Like my title suggests this movie is a vain attempt to take credit from the first movie to sell sub-par music to a new generation of viewers. The first Heavy Metal obviously had some thought put into the scenes and the pace of the story line. The artistry was phenomanal in the first movie, much better than the mish mosh of computer graphics and hand drawn animation in Heavy Metal 2000. The first movie made sure the music reinforced and enhanced whatever scene was being played, the second, well the music really did not add much if anything at all the movie. To sum up...boring plot, no imagination, and a sound track to not die for. My advice? Use the DVD as a coaster and read a good Frank Herbert novel instead.Movie Review: the animation is good but the music....
Summary: 1 Stars
todays metal almost has no listenership, why? it has so little melody, gone in this movie are good melodic metal songs from 80's bands who could sing, instead we get the awful thrash metal that helped make metal one of the least popular types of music on the planet. sure people like the old stuff but todays metal is sucko mostly so by using that type of thrash junk in this they insured few could sit through the movie. I liked the story but you had to suffer through the music.
