Detroit Metal City (2008)

You won't be disappointed!

Sorry, this movie sucks

Fantastic!

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

After watching half of the first episode of the anime, I had to use this movie as a back up from the atrocious drawing the anime involved. You know, I really thought this movie was going to be absouletly depressing because we get to meet a guy called Soichi and I swear to god, he's an absolute annoying wimp I've ever came across. Although I have to say Ken'ichi Matsuyama's singing voice sounded like he was in the Beatles era where it's all poppy and happy which was good to bob around to!Then we get to see Soichi as his death metal self and like you literally will dance around violently with the beat haha! I was shocked when Gene Simmons appeared on this and was doing a face off to Soichis metal self. Man he really crashed the house down here, it was just really well done! I may not mind any genre but the rape mentions were really uncomfortable to listen to. I wouldn't suggest watching this film if you are highly sensitive towards rape mentions especially in most of the rock hard-core songs thats played in this film. Regardless of that, I did find the movie enjoyable including the music. Especially if it was stupid and had serious mentionings on this. I'll give it a 8/10

This movie is based on the anime with the same name ...If you've watched the anime, this will be a huge disappointment, it couldn't get a single laugh out of me. The story is the same, with about half of it left out or fused together.If you haven't watched the anime, you absolutely must! It is extremely hilarious.Just forget about this movie altogether and watch the anime (again).The story of DMC was nice, but it is completely mixed op here. Extreme facial expressions adds to the humour in anime/cartoons (if well done), in live action movies it is just hideous.

Bad clichés, misogynist beyond anything that could be considered as humour or hidden statement. I've seen scat-vomit midget porn movies that were less insulting to human intelligence or film-making.Stick to the manga, not a masterpiece but much less of an embarrassment...It's not just so bad that it's good, its 'star wars Christmas special' bad...(spoilers warning, because just reporting how crippled this movie is can be considered as revealing most of its core).The kind of jokes, homophobic clichés, patronizing attitude, might have been all the rage... somewhere on this planet... certainly long enough ago to have been forgotten. But nowadays. It's borderline on criminal.My comment refers to the original Japanese version, and not to any enhanced/censored translated version. I've seen more than often rapes jokes being totally erased in English version, because you know... only Japanese people can understand how funny gangraping can be... (in case you are thick headed, I was being cynical)

I don't like death metal, I thought Matsuyama Kenichi is a weak actor who can only handle supporting roles, the main character reminded me of "Densha Otoko" who annoyed me very much, and they went overboard with the comedy. Personally, nothing was going right for this film, but it turned out to be one hell of a movie.The theme for this movie is "Dream", and it is cheesy as it sounds, as expected of a anime-based movie. However, the movie had the energy and its fast pace in addition to the interesting setting quickly drew me into the story. It is apparent a lot of effort was put into the SFX and production of this movie.Matsuyuki Yasuko seemed totally out of place in a bad role, but she was absolutely hot. There were many stupid moments, but I found myself constantly laughing, even at dirty jokes. This film has the magic, there is no other way of explaining it. Other than its excessively cheesy "showdown" scene at the end, this movie was perfect in every way. Good enough to satisfy even the harshest doubters (i.e. me). Highly recommended.
