Rock of Ages (2012)

We watch this every now and then just because. It's an entertaining tribute to the late 80s. It's one of our favorite Tom Cruise roles that no one talks about.

There are probably a gozillion reviews out there for this older movie, but the genius who put Cruise, Baldwin and Brand together really got it right. The plot holds together even in this absolute farce and seeing Cruise in this kind of role was a laugh riot in itself.

it is a great movie

Very entertaining. Music was great as were the actors.

Love it

Below is my original review for Rock of Ages. I just want to add one small note: I bought the DVD and I also downloaded the movie to my Apple TV through iTunes. The difference is that the DVD was just like the movie I saw in the theater. The one I downloaded was the extended version (about 15 additional minutes). (On iTunes you have both versions to choose from) Either way it's a great movie, but the extended version has 2 scenes that were left out of the theater version, along with several "little" things that weren't in the theaters. The 2 main scenes were of Julianne Hough dancing in a "dream" sequence with Diego Boneta, and Julianne and Tom Cruise dancing and singing together. The dancing actually is a little risqué, but I still think it is really great. I definitely like the extended version the best.I went to this movie last night for the 4th time. I loved it the first time, and every time I see it I love it more than the time before! I would go see it every day if I could. Ever since I first heard about it over a year ago I've been counting the days until it came out, although I just couldn't wrap my mind around Tom Cruise as a rock star. Well, he certainly is!!! He was sensational as Stacie Jaxx. Who knew Tom Cruise could, not just sing, but PERFORM like that?!?! And Julianne Hough is amazing! I've always been in awe of her dancing, and now we find out she can sing and act also!!! Actually the whole cast was incredible! I thought the character played by Paul Giamatti was somewhat despicable (I suppose someone had to be) so I could have done without that, but he did play the role really well. And Russell Brand was hilarious!!! As for Diego Boneta - I don't know where he came from, but I bet we'll be seeing, and hearing, a lot more of him! He was GREAT! Alec Baldwin, Malin Akerman, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Mary J Blige, they were all magnificent - as was the movie as a whole!I thought this movie was beyond GREAT! The music was already great, but even greater in this movie since all the actors did their own singing! It's a real "feel good" movie. Not only is it hard to not just get up and dance and sing along while you're watching it, it has you dancing and singing out of the theater! My mother (who will be 85 next month) even loved it! She's seen it twice herself! Everyone should see this movie! As for the not-so-great reviews it's gotten, either the critics didn't actually see it, or they have a twisted idea of what is just plain ole make-you-feel-good, uplifting, fun - and funny - entertainment! Believe it or not, there actually are a lot of people who would rather watch something as magnificent as Rock of Ages than a bunch of violence and gore! I learned years ago not to listen to what critics say. 99% of the time they don't have a clue what they're talking about!So to wrap it up, it was INCREDIBLE!!! I can't wait until it comes out on DVD!!!

One of my favorite musical movies. Lots of big name, movies, stars, and great music and storyline.

This is a musical film based off of 80’s Rock and Roll. It is so amazing to see such great acting and these legendary actors and actresses can actually sing these songs that I grew up on! It has so many A- list stars such as Alec Baldwin, Catherine Zeta Jones, Russell Brand, Paul Giomatti and more. It’s funny as all get out with a love story twist! I love this movie and it’s the only musical I would recommend.

Tolle Story - Geniale zeitlose Rockmusik

最高です。40過ぎのおじさまにはドンピシャです。選曲も良くテンポも良いので、何度観ても飽きません。

Really fun movie. The cast must have had a great time filming it.

No la he visto pero la banda sonora es total!

Objet filmographique non identifié.C'est ainsi qu'un ami m'a annoncé le film, avant de le glisser dans le lecteur bluray, sans me dire ce que c'était, qui jouait dedans, et franchement, je ne connaissais pas même le titre (en anglais "Rock of Ages", dont on se demande pourquoi l'avoir changé, puisqu'il est dans sa jaquette française sous "Rock Forever"donc un titre en anglais aussi...bref)Ceci est à l'origine (appris plus tard) une comédie musicale à succès qui a été portée à l'écran, et dont nous avons peu entendu parler en France, ou alors étais-je dans une grotte..?Le résultat est génial: c'est en VO, sous titré si vous le voulez en français, et l'intérêt, c'est aussi la performance vocale des acteurs, qui ont vraiment chanté dans leur rôle. Tom Cruise est bluffant, il chante bien, Catherine Zeta Jones, incroyable, et je vais passer sous silence le nom des autres.Si vous aimiez le rock des années 80 (Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Pat Benatar, Foreigner etc...) ce film deviendra alors jouissif. Nous, on a a-do-ré.Ce n'est pas du Visconti, n'allez pas me dire ce que je n'ai pas dit, mais pour passer un bon moment, ré-écouter des morceaux dont vous ressortirez les vinyles le lendemain, c'est top, alors enjoy and long life to rock and roll !!!
