It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Every now and then you come upon a movie that just makes you want to get up and dance, and for me, Rock of Ages is just that!Based on the live stage production with the same name, Rock of Ages follows a relatively simple plot; it's the 1980s, a small town girl goes to LA in hopes of making it big, she finds there's just more to it than that. She meets a beau, and the rest? Well, you'll have to watch it to find out. Along with a catchy soundtrack, the cast is great; there's Russell Brand, Alec Baldwin as support, along with the likes of Catherine Zeta-Jones and Malin Akerman. This is a movie I pop into the DVD player at least twice a year and just feel so good after seeing!

The people complaining about this movie are taking it too seriously, it's a light comedy and exaggerated musical, think Mulan Rouge... a MUSICAL!!! Do people understand what that means? It's supposed to be a little over the top and fun, exaggerated. The songs are great, the acting is so much fun, it's a great take on the early 80s and the excitement of the time. Tom Cruise nails it, one of my favorite (fun) movies right here. I watch this movie just for the music and seeing the actors sing. If you liked Moulan Rouge you'll like this, I think it's even better, the actors are more fun and the music is just as good. Maybe you have to have lived through this time period to appreciate this, but it's good no matter who you are. Go into this with an open mind.

The storyline is boring and really predictable. It's supposed to be a comedy, but I didn't laugh once while watching.It's the awesome music that kind of saves this movie and makes it somewhat fun to listen to. Yes, listen. I can't say watch, because there was some horrible dancing going on. Imagine Michael Jackson's Thriller-dance performed during a Pat Benetar song. No! Just no! And that boyband? Damn, that sh*t was horrible. Luckily that didn't last too long.If you're really set on watching this, just grab yourself a drink and sing a long on the top of your lungs. Only then your evening won't be a complete waste of time.

I wasn't expecting much from this movie but i actually ended up finding it a pretty fun ride. I thought almost all of the musical performances were brilliant, especially Diego Boneta, Tom Cruise and Malin Akerman, although i felt Julianne Hough was a tad nasally. The story line wasn't the best and rather cheesy at parts but it's a musical and in those performances it excelled. I also thought that it was a very good looking movie and that nearly everyone's hair, makeup and clothing looked brilliant. The girls looked gorgeous. I wasn't so keen on Russell Brand and Alec Baldwin in this movie, i can't fault their singing but i didn't find their performances believable. I was distracted by Russell's terrible Scouse accent, Alec's terrible hair piece and a very strange romantic sub plot which came out of no where... I recommend this movie if you enjoy musicals, loved 80s rock music or are just after a movie that is a bit of fun and nice to look at.
