Is it just me...

...or is one of the worst problems how unattractive it was? One thing I liked about the real Rocky Horror when I first saw it was that it was so edgy and sexy. This is like the Disney version or something... which is wrong. I got especially annoyed at Magenta because she's not Pat Quinn, though that can't be helped because Pat's too old for the role (72 and still partying as crazily as a 19-year-old according to a friend of mine who's met her). Even if it weren't for Magenta being 'wrong' that actress wasn't right. Too silly.
Okay... they're too many annoying things about that sickening ripoff of movie to list. Anyone else have something specific the bothered them besides, you know, there being a remake in the first place?

Not just you. Any true RHPS fan would agree this so-called tribute was a complete train wreck.

They need a dictionary to understand the difference between transvestite and transsexual. The wooden horrible audience participation segments. Too many people at times so more chaos then fun. Tim Currys asst screaming out of the blue ... Oh hell lets go with what I liked #1 the usherette and #2 Tim Curry.

Yeah... I'm still not sure how they managed to confuse transvestite and transsexual. And Frank isn't really even a transvesite in the first place because he's not trying to appear female.

The usherette bothered me because it looked like they wanted her to look like Marlene Dietrich. I'm not sure why that annoyed me so much since she wasn't that bad compared to the disgusting imitation of audience participation and other problems with that mess of a 'remake'.
