Rock of Ages European and American Evaluation
2022-01-02 08:02
The film does not require the audience to have much enthusiasm for rock, but the audience can laugh at the exaggerated melodies of the 80s in the film.
The movie can allow the audience to participate in a time travel as a spectator, so the embarrassing parts of the movie can also be forgiven.
The film is completely saved by its music; it is almost impossible not to sway with them.
The film has unstoppable energy and an unquestionable sense of humor, as well as the cost-effective Thomas Cruise Mapother IV, transforming those songs that may never have been liked into a musical that is easy to enjoy.
Film
The only problem is that when there is no singing and dancing, the plot of the film is very boring; if the plot of a film is so clichéd that all audiences can guess, it is best not to waste too much time in those parts
Seeing Cruise's leather pants and fake tattoos was originally the selling point of the film, but the film is much more interesting without him.
The film looks like Disneyland and sounds like a terrible Broadway musical.
Almost all the singing and dancing scenes in the film were filmed without interest, and as if they were edited together with a cleaver; the film did not convey the passion in the music at all.
Shankman got a very good performance from Cruise and Baldwin, but it also brought the film's biggest problem: this is not a movie about them.
Lacking the enthusiasm of the live audience, the adaptation of the film, except for the visual composition, did not emit enough energy to turn the clichéd passages in the plot into shining gold.
The film is a "film event"-after all, it is not every day that I have the opportunity to see the two major traditions of the United States: rock and music, but it is so insulted in this film
