Rock of Ages


Rock of Ages, A movie based off a musical, I wasn't expecting much from this movie so i wasn't too surprised that it was terrible. I could have gotten the same experience from listening to the radio and reading a cliche love story, actually that would have been preferable considering the sub-par renditions of the 80's classics and the terrible acting (Minus Tom Cruise on both counts surprisingly enough), I was actually surprised Russell Brand couldn't add more appeal to this, I can't really blame the writing since many fans of the original play were disappointed in this movie rendition as well, On the positive side of things I thought Tom Cruise did a good job playing "Stacey Jaxx", Even if his singing was off and his acting a tad over the top it compared to the rest of the cast he was breath taking.

The characters were bland for the most part, the acting was bad, the singing was horrible (especially from Julianne Hough's character) and it was rarely funny, so I personally can't see any entertainment value in this movie, I regret spending the money for the ticket, please save your money and go see Prometheus or something.
