Repo! The Genetic Opera

All these positive reviews have gotta be trolling. I was hoping to watch the next cult film like Rocky Horror picture show became but.... First, the Repo Man music is...less than catchy. There’s a reason in a world where ‘Time Warp’ still plays, you don’t hear anyone singing or playing Repo Man music. There’s maybe one good, really driven song. The acting, for the most part, is also very bad. The main villain’s three kids are the worst. They’re so cartoony and over the top by design but it doesn’t work. It’s very off putting and I hated their screen time. What I did like was the world they created. Some of the visuals. The backstory and the whole genetics thing. The idea of corporate organ repossession is very intriguing. Yet, even in such a giant world, they barely showed you more than a few streets and a tower. Overall: some moments had me captivated (when you where immersed in the world) but any moment with the bad guy and his kids was just cringe. And the music....I think they could have done much better. There’s a reason it doesn’t have a major cult following as other films like it do. No midnight showings for this film. It had so much potential to reach that point, but my guess is the Repo Man removed its heart and soul, in exchange for special effects.

This movie is honestly awesome. It has an original plot, greatly composed music, and a great cast. I even liked Paris Hilton because they cast her in a role that she could actually tap into. The actors are perfectly suited for their roles.

Repo men with Jude Law was way better than this pile of garbage

Ultimately my favorite movie of all time STILL to this day and i will never think otherwise . such fascinating concept and storyline, and terrance is amazing

So I'm a huge musical person. I love Pippin, Last Five Years, Sweeney Todd, Cabaret, Chicago, Wicked, Rent, people sing it, I'll watch it. This musical/opera has got to have some of the worst lyrics I have ever heard. That said, for some reason I was riveted. I think storywise, this has a lot going for it if you keep an open heart. The Gravedigger could have had a bigger role/there could have been some romance. Genetic Opera is weird and silly and gross and kind of terrible at moments, but it's also kind of ridiculously fun and emotionally poetic if you think of what it's trying to do. Mad points for trying to be dark and deep. Also Sarah Brightman
