If this version was the original, I would have joined them. I only saw the original 17 times and dated one of the original cast member's sisters.
This one is craptastic.
The Time Warp instead of looking like a grand ball was a poorly attended rave.
Definitely not as good as the original, could've been a lot better.
The Time Warp was really disappointing. I've always loved the Columbia character and can't help but feel underwhelmed by the new interpretation...
I love the original Time Warp, this one sacked. They did a terrible job with the singing. I had high hopes for this but they really screwed it up.
shareOh my frigging God! You claim to be original RHPS fans yet in your hate of bringing forth NEW fans and New blood, you've forgotten the MESSAGE of RHPS.....
Don't Dream It, Be It !
You should be ashamed of your close mindedness!!!
I'll stick with the 1975 version.
Ok to borrow the famous catch phrase and remaster it, since you want to use it as your excuse to shame everyone for not liking this
"Don't dream of a remake, be the original."
Voila
((Damn the remakes, Save the originals.))
I haven't forgotten anything. I've seen versions I've liked. This one was terrible and poorly cast while being run at chipmunk speed.
LIGAF
It's not closed mindedness if you legitimately watched the product and were underwhelmed. It would be closed minded to dismiss it just as an idea without giving the production team a chance to win you over.
Which is why I watched every moment, even though I knew I wanted to turn it off in the first 90 seconds. Though Ivy Levan gave it her all, and was not without charm in that Madonna-circa-Shanghai-Surprise-era way, I didn't really like the way Science Fiction was presented. I have never seen a theatrical presentation of it, though, so perhaps that's the way they always do it, and not a new idea from this production.
But it was just so charmless! There is a reason that millions of people from multiple generations have watched the original and fallen in love with it. I just don't see many people watching what happened last night and falling in love with it. It just seemed like a great product that had been pushed through a corporate meat grinder.
That is not to take away from the tremendous amount of hard work that anyone can see went into this production.
Agreed
shareIf you don't like anything other than the original movie, don't go to any stage shows as each is different. Same story with their own spin on it. Stay home with your DVD and just watch that. For gods sake, get over your perfect selves.
shareExcellent point, if these yahoos don't like remakes then they would have never seen Rocky Horror Picture Show in the theaters as it was a remake of two different stage show version's, the first in 1973 in the second in 1974, which were flops in the United States
Don't Dream It, Be It !!!
I've seen Rocky Horror the play both in the US and London. I loved those performances. This production was a huge piece of crap.
Yeah... it was definitely bad. It was okay enough to watch once, but that's it. I will stick with the original and will someday see a live Stage Show, but enjoyed the Anniversary stage show filming and going to live shadow castings. It's a fun movie that this remake did no justice for. Good thing we can keep going back to the original and just ignore this one.
Columbia felt more like an Avril Lavigne reject with her annoying rainbow hair and clothing and her frickin blue tongue!!!
The "transylvanians" were less like aliens and more like hipsters.
The Time Warp felt more like a Kiki, which is basically a gay party/rave as explained in this video/song (which I love, but not when combined with RHPS): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGCD4xb-Tr8
Transvestite is not the same as Transgender.
How can Frankenfurter be "A sweet Transvestite and a man" at one point and then a SHE at another point?
Eddie was just not a "rebel"
Dr. Scott wasn't a German Scientist in this one.
Riff Raff was okay, but Magenta sucked.
Agree with most of your thoughts, but I was the opposite in the Riff Raff/Magenta comparisons. I thought that Christina was OK, some of her lines and mannerisms were cool, but Riff Raff - God he was awful! It was only when he was quiet and unmoving that I thought he was a good - actually great - Riff Raff. He looked perfect! The second he opened his mouth or made one of his exaggerated, flailing movements, it just thought he was awful.
