    Requirements to be in this movie: You must have Amazing LEGS! lol

    I loved this movie. It was soo wierd and cooky! just like me! I really want to go and see it in a theater some time were i can through food and the screen and sing...or whatever they do! Just so much fun!

    Gee this was boring.

    SO weird! It was pretty entertaining though. Tim Curry was my favorite part of the movie by far. I wish I could've seen it live though!

    Wild and wacky, Tim Curry in an epic performance in a movie/play that focuses on pushing the boundaries of sexuality. Good soundtrack but the picture is perhaps a little too bombastic for my tastes.

    One of my favourite 'Midnight Movies', The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a camp classic and one of the best musicals of all time. This is Richard O'Brien's masterpiece and a cult classic!

    When I was a teenager, I was never allowed to go to this movie at the local theater. Pity. It's a boring movie without the side show.

    One star, but I saw it 13 times. The greatest cult film ever. Incredible cast and music. Sick since of humor, so you have to go with 10 friends and lots of stuff to throw to get a kick out of this one. Never see it on video. It does not work.

    Excellent film. Weird seeing the castle/mansion in the film though as I've been there and was spotting the locations scenes were filmed in it.
    Really enjoyable to watch even though it's quite random. Although I have to admit I started to get slightly bored towards the end just af...( read more)ter they'd just been turned to stone or whatever it is. Also the actress who plays Janet annoys me at quite a few points through the film as her acting was terrible.
    Other than that it's a really good film and makes me want to do the time warp.
    9/10

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Viewed on video simply as a movie, without the midnight sideshow, it's cheerful and silly, and kind of sweet, and forgettable. full review

    I think this is the sort of movie you either love or hate. I LOVE it. My favourite characters are probably Magenta and Riff Raff (whith their very... interesting relationship :)). The music is great and the movie is funny and compltely freaky. Tim Curry as Frank-N-Furter is simplt AMAZING.

    One more thing... Does anybody else think that Mr. Filch from the Harry Potter movies looks a tiny bit like Riff Raff?

    Pretty harsh, MorpheusOne. Maybe you should give this masterpiece another chance. I don't know anyone who has seen it and not fell in love (a few in lust). I think in the right atmosphere you might like it better. Get some of your friends together, put on some fishnets and party hats and get up and Time Warp with the your fellow Transylvanians. I think you will see the light shining off of those luscious lips and think, "What have I been missing? Thank you jarvismiranda for talking me into reconsidering my views of this delicious film."

    I love this movie! I went to many midnight showings as a teenager and threw food and other things like the rest. "Let's do the time warp again". Love this movie!

    Take care all,

    I would have given it "0" stars if I could have! This is DEFINITELY one of the worst movies, one of the most OVERATED movies, EVER, in the history of western civilization!

    If you like soap opera's and musicals then this piece of garbage is for you. Don't come near me or have anything to do with my gene pool. You should cut off and/or out your sexual organs and don't you dare pollute this world with your seed!

    Only fags and freak chicks could enjoy this piece of garbage!!
