Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Watched it on DVD with a girl who insisted it was good. That was the last time we ever saw each other.There's no plot. There's no laughs. There's nothing. Nothing except men dressed as women singing songs. If i want to listen to the time warp i'll watch it on youtube.This film may have been revolutionary for it's time in portraying sexuality but in todays more liberal society it has very little relevance. Except for people who want to listen to the time warp.

Based on the 1973 musical stage production of the same title, 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' is mighty winner from the 1970's. A Cult-Classic in its way own right, this musical screwball comedy horror flick, is a blast that left me overjoyed. And how great is Tim Curry here?'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' Synopsis: A newly engaged couple (Susan Sarandon & Barry Bostwick) have a breakdown in an isolated area and must pay a call to the bizarre residence of an eccentric scientist Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry). Bizarre, Creepy, Funny & Melidious, 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' proves to be a highly engrossing experience. This is a film that has its own world & a world, that's rare to find in movies today. it ranges from being spooky to funny to plain absurd. And yet it works. Hugely.Richard O'Brien & Jim Sharman's Adapted Screenplay is strong. And the entire addition of Music, makes it all the more special & effective. Jim Sharman's Direction is remarkable. He has Directed this strangely engaging story with unmistakable honesty & a vision that's hard not to envy. Peter Suschitzky's Cinematography captures the madness with perfection. Graeme Clifford's Editing is superbly done. Art & Costume Design are fantastic. Make-Up & Graphics deserve a special mention. And the choreography of the dance-numbers is brilliant. Performance-Wise: Tim Curry steals the show. As the eccentric transvestite scientist, Curry is a joy to watch. He literally steals every scene he appears in & its impossible to look anywhere else but him where's on screen. Truly a magnificent performance that deserved some awards back then! Susan Sarandon, at her prettiest, is wonderful as the leading-lady. Barry Bostwick as the leading-man, is nicely goofy in his part. Richard O'Brien is fantastic as the handyman. Patricia Quinn is first-rate & adds to the madness. The Late/Great Jonathan Adam is superb as the rival scientist. Peter Hinwood is impressive as Rocky Horror, a creation of Dr. Frank-N-Furter. And The Late/Great Charles Gray is pitch-perfect as the narrator.On the whole, 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' is worth all the hype & hoopla around it. Even 4 decades later, this story holds tremendous appeal. Don't Miss It.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a fantastic and unique movie in every aspect, and a musical with not only wonderful songs but a wonderful message, the celebration of life, the celebration of being different.I not only like the super transsexual whatever genius Dr. Frank N. Furter but even the conventional Brad Majors, all figures are well defined and with their weaknesses and merits likable, understandable.All those left-liberal minds that fill nowadays the media with mediocre and redundant works should watch and learn from this movie - to like the weird outsiders of this movie is easy, and easy it is to like the conventional characters too - in this movie, there is no judgment but sympathy. I personally am fed up with all those whiny mediocre minded and weak-hearted minorities depicted in modern movies, characters who always complain about life being unjust, being not understood etc. pp. - life is always unjust, every single man and woman on this planet has a burden to bear, no matter if one is a heterosexual or whatever-sexual, no matter if one is white, black, yellow, pink skinned, two- or three-legged.The Rocky Horror Picture Show: a great plea for acceptance and a strong defender for "being different". A mind- and heart opening experience. A must-see.

This movie was built up to be this amazing movie with great songs, memorable characters, and good times. I found none of those. To start, it had a weak plot from the beginning with some of the most basic, bland main characters I've ever seen. Once you figure who the main characters are, we learn how unfocused this movie is. It never knows where it wants to go and is constantly getting too far from the story. We also see some ridiculous costumes that you would expect more out of a porno than a 7/10 star movie. One of the only redeeming qualities is Tim Curry. He was one of the only actors I know of that could pull of such an over the top role. Was he over-dramatic sometimes? Yes but that was what this role needed. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is an overrated, over the top movie with an unfocused plot and barely any redeeming qualities. This movie deserves a 3/10 rating.
