...soooo I've seen it now and on the whole i'd sayit wasn't 'bad', but not that good either. Some suspect casting choices, a bit too polished, too clean and sanitised, too pc. My biggest gripe is the same one I've kept coming back to over the whole issue of remakes/reboots which is why do it? especially if the original is a well loved film. Whats the point?
at the end of the day the whole thing was a bit 'meh'.
I'm not going to hold back. There was a reason why the project fell through many times - this result was why!
Changing Frank's gender was bad enough, but...It was made into Bubblegum PG certificated crap that isn't Rocky Horror. It was a disgrace to Richard O'Brien and Rocky and I really hope none of the new generation watches this terrible adaptation before they see the original movie or stage show. The sex, the rock n roll, the gothic creepiness and the attitude was gone. That IS Rocky.
