Rock Of Ages [2012]

Fantastically film and music

Great film even better with extended version

Okay, so I just hate musicals. Hollywood, Bollywood, Stage - any kind of Musical. All that gratuitous singing and dancing. I mean, how can you suspend disbelief? Well, you can't. But what you can do, is get out your air guitar, and just pour that sugar on, baby. Oh yeah. I absolutely LOVE this movie. Best Musical ever made. The ONLY Musical I could watch more than once, I could watch this over & over again. I DO watch this movie over and again. What's not to like? All those rock anthems & power ballads from the seventies & eighties, and Tom Cruise sending up every self-obsessed rock idol you ever saw or imagined, and sending up himself into the bargain. Oh, and by the way, he can actually SING. And so too, apparently, can Catherine Zeta Jones, & even Alec Balwin (well, almost). All the main players actually SING the songs. These are new recordings made by the stars of the movie. The whole thing is carried off with such aplomb you can't help but fall in love with it, at least if you grew up in that era. Oh, and there's a monkey in it! Hey man! I guess there will be those who can't bring themselves to admit to enjoying this kind of thing in case they lose their street cred, but I couldn't give a monkey's for street cred. so this is the Musical for me. Maybe the ONLY Musical for me. Okay, Mum & Dad, there are a few sexual references which get pretty close to the bone here and there, but I think they get away with it (hell, this is Rock'N'Roll after all) and I think your kids will be okay watching this. They'll be very okay!

The makers of this must have thought they had a hit of Mamma Mia proportions when this was green lit. Its an eighties ballad movie,the decade of excess, and random fashion mistakes, plus,MIT stars one of the most iconic stars of the decade, playing a rock star! Why did it fail, because the film has no idea what is going one, and there is no clear narrative. Walt Whitman wants to close down the Bourbon room, Cruise is going solo, two unknowns with good voices fall in love, Zeta-Jones is a secret roadie, Giamatti is Blofeld. This film is about the love affair between Brand and Baldwin, and their love of Rock and Roll. It could be the musical version of Brokeback Mountain, if you would. The two rockers are realising that their era is coming to an end, so they give it up to the adequate song. But at the end of the day, its a fun movie, the music is brilliant,and Cruise never fails to amaze me. If you were surprised by Tropic Thunder, watch this. The two leads are generic pretty people, but there is enough wealth of support, to drown out there averageness. Bilge had no reason to be in this, and Brand should have kept his normal accent, but all in all, its a fun movie.

No matter your taste in music, EVERYONE will know most of the tracks in this film. Old school of rock, ballads and humour. Brilliant characters and well written.

What a great film this is. I know there are mixed reviews on here about this film, but it's entertaining wiy songs from a great period for music that I grew up with in my teens. So for me, this is a bit of nostalgia and something to look back on. Maybe the film isn't amazing, but it's a good fun watch.

This is so much more enjoyable than I imagined. In fact, it's true to say that I watched the whole thing with a huge cheeky grin on my face and then downloaded a Stacey Jaxx background for my iphone! Tom Cruise is a legend in this film. If he went on tour, I would buy a ticket!

lent my previous copy to a "mate" and it got damaged enough to no longer play, replacement copy arrived quickly, and well packaged. Also a great film of you fancy a cheesey eighties song along giggle with a few beers

Llego en perfecto estado, a tiempo y en castellano. Una gran película con muy buenas canciones y un Tom cruise muy divertido

Unschlagbares Musical mit Tom Cruise in einer Paraderolle Viele Rock-Classics in Musical-Adsptionen

This movie was a lot of fun with a great soundtrack my wife and I enjoyed it maybe not suitable for the young one's tho.

The "Rock of Ages" DVD brought pure entertainment into my home! With its stellar cast and infectious musical numbers, it's a must-have for any fan of '80s rock. The energy and nostalgia it evokes make it a go-to for movie nights with friends or solo sing-alongs. Highly recommended!

Bon film avec de la bonne mus6et un Tom Cruise étonnant
