Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

tapio_hietamaki I'm a fan of 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' but not so much 'Repo!'. Both are outrageous rock musicals with campy B-movie style and dark humor. Three reasons why I prefer 'Rocky': 1) the playful sexuality, 2) the surreal story twists and 3) the 70's aesthetic.There's no Tim Curry or Susan Sarandon here, no Meat Loaf and no Time Warp. What we get is the charismatic Anthony Steward Head, who we know from 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and who delivers some nice singing performances in that show as well. Here he steals the show at every turn: his character is the only one who's actually compelling and his singing voice is pleasant and warm. Other characters include the aging CEO of an evil corporation, his depraved and moralless children (one of whom is played by none other than Paris Hilton) and an angsty teenage girl who wants to escape her sheltered life. Actually I liked her angsty teenage rock song 'Seventeen'! It reminded me of 'Cherry Bomb' by The Runaways.The songs are more hard rock than the classic rock of 'Rocky' - there are pounding drums and scathing guitar riffs straight out of a 90's Metallica record. The story is fun and campy, and of course extremely dark and filthy, but it gets a little muddled at the end.

Leofwine_draca Hmm. I'm not sure what to think of REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA; as a film it gets an A+ for enthusiasm and effort, but in terms of quality it's something else entirely. This is a poorly shot (by SAW director Darren Lynn Bousman), over the top rock/horror/musical about a futuristic society where plastic surgery and the repossession of body organs are the focus of the story. It's a bit like REPO MEN but with songs instead of dialogue.REPO! was perhaps inspired by Tim Burton's SWEENEY TODD horror musical but it's nowhere near it in terms of consistency and quality. The best thing I can say about REPO! is that some of the songs are sung well, but in terms of lyrics and storyline, well, you can forget it. We get a bunch of unpleasant characters going around offing each other in various cheesily gory ways while they sing about it. The whole thing is shot in the dark on a cheap budget so it doesn't look too great.Cast-wise, it's a mixed bag. There are veteran actors like Paul Sorvino and Anthony Head who are really game and who you can't help but enjoy. But the lead actress, Alexa Vega, is acceptable at best and doesn't really have much in the way of presence despite being on screen for almost all of the running time. Bill Moseley's here too, but I had enough of his hammy schtick before long. Why they cast Paris Hilton I don't know, because a singer she isn't. Still, we do get a prominent supporting role for Sarah Brightman, and she sings everybody else off the screen. The film suffers big time whenever she's not around; a pity that she's mired in such a messy, juvenile production.

Randal_Graves17 I'm going to say something that might sound a bit weird, but when I first saw this film I thought 'what the hell was that?'Like a lot of people in the forum have said, it gave me a kind of strange headache a lot like the first time I watched Moulin Rouge which, just like Repo, went on to become one of my all time favourite musicals. My explanation for what made me change my mind? I gave it another watch and the songs got stuck in my head, it's about as simply as that.So the premise of this movie - without giving everything away - is that a mega-corporation known as GeneCo have started transplanting organs for people due to a global epidemic of organ failure, but only as long as they agree to pay money or face the consequences (potential organ repossession which is now legal.) The guy who carries out these repossessions is known as the Repo Man and, of course, is widely feared (and for good reason!)One of the things I love, and yes even admired the first time I watched this film, about Repo is the originality of its storyline. The characters are so bizarre and different that it's actually highly refreshing. The only other films/productions it's slightly reminiscent of are The Rocky Horror Picture Show (for a mixture of horror and straight up camp theatrics) and maybe even some of the Saw flicks (in terms of gore, which maybe isn't all that surprising since Darren Lynn Bousman directed a couple of those as well.)This movie mixes animation, creepy prosthetics (I'm looking at you Pavi) and some pretty twisted humour but in the end it's going to be the soundtrack that determines whether you dig this film or not. My one word of advice, as you can see from my own story, is to give it a couple of watches or even listen to the soundtrack away from the movie. Once you like it, you really like it and soon you'll be fighting with people over who's better, Luigi or Pavi. If you straight up don't like the soundtrack, you may never get this movie.But for your sake I hope you do.

Thoughts_provoked I rated this title as excellent because of the pure originality of the music and plot The characters are completely believable and realistic. This is one of my all time favourite films plainly because of the fact that i think it reflects how our world is dependent of consumerism and the increase of plastic surgery, Bousman has created a very original plot which is tide together with the music and sang dialogue, this is a story of love, greed, and revenge, character deaths is another reason i love this film, all through the film Bousman really makes it so the audience connects with the characters and when one of them dies it really effects the audience.I would very much recommend this film to practically anyone who would be willing to watch it, it is a great film and has been directed absolutely brilliantly. This film is definitely in my top ten favourite all time films.
