    I know I may be going against the grain here but I genuinely loved every second of this iteration of Rocky Horror. The film plays as more of a tribute and a "Thank You" to the original rather than trying to outdo it, which I find very respectful. The sets and costumes were outstanding and so were the performances.

The film plays as more of a tribute and a "Thank You" to the original rather than trying to outdo it, which I find very respectful. The sets and costumes were outstanding and so were the performances. The musical numbers were especially well realized, especially the opening, which features Ivy Levan doing a cover of "Science Fiction, Double Feature" that set the film out on a high note for me. Speaking of the cast, they were outstanding, especially Laverne Cox who you can just tell loved every second of filming. I love and cherish the original, but I found this version especially entertaining. I watched it with friends who had never seen the original and they loved it just as much as I did and now are really excited to watch the original! In my opinion, many fans aren't realizing that this iteration was never meant to outdo or outshine the original, but rather exist symbiotically with it. I felt an unquestionable love for the original oozing out of this movie, even if the (albeit infrequent) cutaways to the staged audience kind of take you out of the experience. However, this is just my opinion and I encourage everyone to watch it for themselves before judging!… Expand

    This is not the original from decades past, but this is a sensual, well choreographed show, with all beautiful performers! Especially Laverne Cox! Sexy songs and dance routines. Gold costumes and clothing were to die for.The lighting was brilliant and the entire show is a blast that gives you a high you don't come down from for hours.

    The storytelling, clearly, isn’t the point. It’s about the feeling of Rocky Horror and, as the film took on this cult second life, the audience who is feeling it. But with this Fox production, it’s unclear who the intended audience is.

    Think of this, maybe, as a "Glee" version of "Rocky Horror." The musical numbers range from entertaining ("Time Warp" gets a big, loud production) to fine. The pretty young cast struggles with the tone, except for Justice, who takes her role so seriously, she seems to be in a different movie.

    Let’s Do the Time Warp Again is a sterile facsimile of Rocky Horror’s original camp, filtered through the lens of Party City’s least inspired Halloween aisle.
