I just watched Rock of Ages, and all I can say is...what the hell was that?

Oh – I saw that. It was rather pathetic. I guess it was meant to be campy??

Time you will never get back. Soo bad.

I thought it was horrid as well, and I actually like Russel Brand. I liked most of the music they used as well, but the actual movie sucked. My mom loved it.

Dying is easy. Comedy is hard. I can’t imagine that movie even looked good on paper.

Some things in life are very simple, and having a strict policy of never wasting even five minutes of your life watching anything with Russell Brand in it should certainly be one of them….

If you have to ask, you wouldn’t understand the answer. And if you’re not in the 35–45 age group, you’re even less likely to understand.

I think “non-comedic satire” comes close; add a hit of nostalgia for those of us who actually grew up with hair bands (as opposed to Elvis, Eagles, or Eminem) or remember when Tom Cruise was not yet totally wacko.

Still better than Movie43. I’m still grieving those lost 2 hours.

I’m in that age group and the movie made me want to gag myself with a spoon.

Never knew that was a movie. Not related to this, but I have a video game with the same title. What you do is control a boulder…that’s right…you go through these various time periods and fight off against famous history guys, like Vlad the Impaler, Julius Caesar. As a boulder, you break obstacles, run over armies, try not to fall off cliffs, break down castle doors and then kill the history figure in question for that one stage. You can also buy catapults and war elephants and shit, and there’s a boulder competing against you; so whoever gets to the other person’s side first. So now I’m wondering if that game is related to the movie. And the game is obviously humor.

Teh rox in question

Man, that would make a great band name:

‘War Elephants and Shit’

Glad I read this and have taken that movie off of my list of movies I want to see.

I didn’t like it much either, but one of my best friends loves it. I think they tried a little too hard to make a rock satire for a certain age group, and it just didn’t work.

@WillWorkForChocolate Yeah, they did try a little too hard, but it’s far from the worst movie I’ve seen. I’d rather see something fall flat than be an utter waste like X-men 3.
