Slime Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Movies generally need the following things in order to be any good 1. Interesting/engaging plot 2. Character development and in the case of movies based off of other media (ie comic books), you must also be able to answer "yes" to the following question 3. Can the movie stand on its own rather than relying on the existing IP to make sense? Heavy Metal failed miserably in all three areas. I know it was based off of a comic book or whatever, and that was probably part of the problem. The characters sucked and the stories they were in sucked even more. The Harry Potter movies also increasingly sucked at that third element. I can enjoy the HP movies because I have read the source material, but I get the feeling that a person who has not read the books would be utterly lost and confused at times. Lots of stuff in the HP movies, including very important elements from the books, was never explained on screen, or at least not adequately. So let's get back to bashing Heavy Metal! I sure love doing it Yea, the characters suck. What other movie can you think of where the supposed "hero" of the main story doesn't actually speak? This was an animated movie made in the 1980s, so there's really no excuse. Even Wall-E made some noises resembling speech, and quite honestly Wall-E's dialogue with EVE was about ten million times more interesting than the words I heard in Heavy Metal. The characters had no real development, and they were two dimensional. Again, maybe they are explained better in the comic, but that's the problem...the movie is not the same thing! None of the characters lasted long enough on screen to really be explained well. The same thing happened to the stories, I bet. Maybe they are very interesting and well developed in the comic, but the same problem arises yet again that the movie is NOT the comic. Movies have to be able to stand on their own. You can't turn the existing IP into a crutch for the movie. It's just lazy. There, I explained it. Hopefully I'm still allowed to hang around TRF and if you want to explain how very wrong I am, go ahead. You have the power to do pretty much anything you like (except make me watch that movie again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have the power to do pretty much anything you like (except make me watch that movie again) Very extensive answer. I'd thank you for all that but I know that bashing Heavy Metal is one of your hobbies. However, there are plenty of enjoyable movies with very little character development or profound dialogue [insert the title of almost any zombie movie here]. Anyways, I'm not trying to change your mind since I know that's impossible. Just sayin'.

I accidentally found this on Youtube when searching for a new HEAVY METAL sequel. The NECROMANCER playing along with 1981's HEAVY METAL! ok, now that's f'n weird....... Totally weird!!!!!! Wow, I hope you are right about a real sequel to the original! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slime Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) Before this thread, I never knew that I wasn't the only one who hated Heavy Metal. It's good to know I'm not alone! But I doubt I'll find any allies to help me with my future "Red Barchetta is the most boring Rush song ever" thread If, in some alternate universe, "Red Barchetta" ended up on the Heavy Metal soundtrack, I'd just have more reason to hate. and isn't hate what art is all about? edit: punctuation Edited July 28, 2009 by Slime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spindrift82 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) How original. How much have YOU contributed to the literary world? If you can sit down and write a book, much less direct and act in movies as good as the Harry Potter movies, then you can talk.
