I need some opinions on the following movies please

Never seen any of them, recently caught my attention...

Xanadu
Heavy Metal 2000 (got first movie on DVD)
Rock And Rule

[Golgo13]

Heavy Metal 2000 was pretty much Titan AE with nudity and cursing. If you keep up with the magazine, the film is specifically based on F.A.K.K. 2. It is nowhere near as entertaining as the first film, but worth a rent. Visually it is spectacular.

Xanadu is a crappy musical about greek muses and roller discos. It stars Olivia Newton John, Gene Kelly, and some other guy.

Rock and Rule is awesome! Where did you get it? I believe it's out of print.
The movie is pretty well drawn considering the SPX of the time, is kind of a musical only with rock, the villian is a twisted version of Mick Jagger. I loved this movie when I was younger.
Don't bother with the other ones.
When you see it post your review.

Xanadu: For hardcore fans of Olivia Newton-John only, and even some of them hated it. The best thing that can be said about this movie is that is probably the least annoying roller-disco movie ever made. But that's not really saying much, is it. Kinda like mentioning the least dangerous form of cancer. Pass by the film and get the soundtrack out of the bargain bin at your local record store. At least then you won't be distracted from the film's decent music by its embarassing visuals.

Heavy Metal 2000: When it takes 18 years to get around to making a sequel to a movie, that's a bad sign to begin with. This one was more an attempt to promote the non-career of Julie Strain, who played the lead character and was trying to position herself to make the jump out of cheap exploitation films and into the mainstream (it didn't work), than to recapture what made the original Heavy Metal movie so good.

Rock And Rule: Now this one is worth seeing. The best thing to come out of Canada's Nelvana Studios (and that's saying a lot; they have an impressive body of work for a small, independent outfit), it's an impressive and nicely animated rock 'n' roll sci-fi story with a killer soundtrack.

Rock & Rule is very interesting. It's just been released on DVD, and you can read my review of it in a few days hopefully.

[Peter Paltridge]

Heh, I've posted several times before that it was a lazy summer afternoon, I was 7, and Xanadu came on the TV. I was absolutely baffled by it. I doubt it'd make any more sense NOW.

I have one piece of info..Xanadu - This was Gene Kelly's last movie role after an illustrious film career that spanned 35 years...He was among the greatest musical comedy stars, with extra-ordinary dancing and chorigrahical skills.(He did his own stunts too)
He choriographed many of the scenes in, "Singin in the Rain" considered by many, to be the best of all movie musicals..I have not seen
Xanadu, but have heard it does not do him justice, and is a rather dismal end to a truly great career.. See the Internet Movie Data Base IMBd.com for a complete list of his accomplihments.(there are many) ..I think he won one Academy Award the year before "Singen in the Rain" was made, for "An American in Paris" otherwise he would have gotten it for "Rain"
In his prime, he was the best dancer, and gave some of the greatest performances of that genre ever..Stu

Also, if you're into anime, you should download an excellent AMV by Lee "Lostboy" Thompson that sets one of the ELO songs from the film, "The Fall", to Video Girl Ai.
