Originally, Zack and I weren't going to see Rock Star. We had free passes to see some other movie-- but the theatre canceled the movie. [This was the thrid time in a row that ended up not being able to get into a sneak preview, when we had a ticket to get in.] A bit frustrated after driving all the way to the movie theatre, we decided to catch Rock Star instead.

Rock Star is about Mark Wahlberg replacing the lead singer in the band Steel Dragon, his favorite band. Jennifer Aniston is Mark's girlfriend, who is left behind as Mark tours from city to city.

Rock Star has many problems, but acting isn't really one of them. Mark Wahlberg does a good job here and Jennifer Aniston does as good as she can considering she's not in the movie all that much.

The length of this movie kills it. Especially during the end, it drags on and on. In the beginning, where it might have been more interesting to see Mark Wahlberg getting used to dealing with other members of the Steel Dragon band, it fasts forwards to their first tour.

The songs in this movie are OK. I didn't like the Steel Dragon songs very much, but the other 1980's songs on the soundtrack worked well.

The beginning of this movie has some great lines and a wacky feel to it that the rest of the movie could have used more of. Like this part:

MARK WAHLBERG is on TV.

MARK WAHLBERG: I eat pussy before performances. It helps get me warmed up, see?

His MOM and DAD watch their son on TV.

MOM: Just like his old man, eh?

MOM and DAD laugh.

I give Rock Star **1/2 out of ****.

I'd just like to say that Mat has no idea what he's talking about when he mentions bad comic movies. He's only seen a few. He's hasn't seen Spiderman or Dr. Strange. He's never seen any of the two Captain America movies. If you want an example of a badcomic book movie, just watch any movie that is based on a Marvel comic, that was made before Blade.

I'd also like to say that despite what Mat says, there was nothing OK about this movie. (alright, Alicia Silverstone in tight leather was good, but that's it.) Not a single person in this movie was cast very well,(except for Alfred), and what the hell was that crap they tried to pass off as Bane. Anyone who's read the comic, knows that Bane would be anyone's henchman. He's the criminal genius who exhausted Batman, and then broke his back.

When Mat says that George Clooney was better then expected, it should be obvious that he's never read the comic. Clooney would have been better cast as a pregnant, hermaphrodite Orangutan.

So in closing, Joel Shumacher (the director) should be shot in the back of the head.
