Read More There i sat like a four year old watching her favorite cartoon, my eyes glued to the screen. The plot was unpredictably twisted, as the story unfolds it drags the viewer into a future that is not really unlikely. Its all includes the greed, gore and just the right amount of lust that I adore. The songs are well written and "blind mag" has the voice of an angel if i ever heard one myself. This is one flick that you must check out. i myself am looking foward to a sequel of some sort being that i loved all the characters. I am not a paris hilton fan but i do give her credit when it is due, and she did very well! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More I was actually upset the FIRST time i watched this. I bough the soundtrack the day it came out because i became obsessed with it, that was the first mistake... i had really high hopes. The first half of the movie wasn't pieced together as great as it could have been, but after that it was great. All the vocals were awesome, get humor, gore, etc. I also love the visuals (except the crappy CGI, i hate CGI), but the picture just looked great and futuristic and over exposed or something, i cant think of it right now... But I watched it two more times and now it makes a lot more sense, I guess I shouldn't be doing work while trying to watch a movie that you have to pay attention to!
I loved the comic book aspect of it as well, but the soundtrack is by far the best. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Crazy great music. Powerful story and where else will you find Paul Sorvino and Paris Hilton and Sarah Brightman in a movie together. If someone says I've seen every movie made, hip them to this one.

Read More I had heard good things about Repo! but it really was not a good movie at all. The plot was ok, not too bad, and I will say that the cinematography was amazing! Heres the big problem though, THE SCORE/MUSIC FOR THIS MOVIE WAS HORRIBLE! Cheesy and horrible. There are many other musicals that top this one, rent one of those, trust me.

Read More Although a lot of the animation/special effect scenes were great in this film it lacked story; I didn't believe in the main characters; the songs were pointless and too long; and there wasn't nearly enough gore or rock in this "rock opera." I would've loved to see My Chemical Romance and Muse do this soundtrack. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

At least ASH can sing. I just cannot forgive this movie. How many ways could it have been made a better movie? The concept was there but not the story. I often like rock operas. Whatever person compared this is a review to RHPS before I rented this should be repo'd. This video did nothing at all. Too bad... Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

It was cheesy and redundant. I was captivated by the fact that it might get good but it didn't. I found myself laughing and feeling awkward at times. This is a movie for kids if anything.
