I've been reading the reviews here,both the all praising and downright bashing. A few in the middle, which is where I am with The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
I watched this some years ago and I did like the songs, they're very well performed. "Time Warp" is an unmistakably catchy song and some of the others are good too but not as memorable.
As for the story, well it's simple Janet & boyfriend are typical straight-laced boy & girl in love, whose car breaks down in the worst possible place. They're let into this already creepy place and find even creepier and/or insane people / creatures. But what I saw later in the movie made me say... "why all the cruelty & harshness on these two people?"
I'm not saying there are not bad things in the world or that filmmakers should be predictable, but like one person said here,"this movie isn't for everyone."
I just feel that some of the more disturbing things in the film just really weren't called for and were just a turn off for me.
I don't understand why Curry's character removed the man's legs and replaced them with remote controlled one's . WHY? He didn't do anything wrong. Or why he's being such a jackass to Brad and Janet.
Janet, boyfriend & the Dr. (It's just a jump to the left) are basically humiliated for no reason. Rocky Horror, I decided, is just not really my taste when it comes to movies.
I liked the dancing and singing and some of the comedy but the rest is not appealing. Obviosuly the movie is an acquired taste and I simply will never acquire it.
For those who cherish it, more power to you. If you supposedly hate it outright, well It's only a movie, not the end of civilization as we know it. Everyone can't love it and the lovers of the film have no cause to get angry because others don't feel the same.
4 stars for me, I wont even be watching it again. (END)
