Rock of Ages [Blu-ray]

Very entertaining. Music was great as were the actors.

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

I've seen this multiple times... such a fun movie. Don't take it seriously, but enjoy big name actors singing great and having fun.

Fun movie with great music! Bust out your Aquanet and blue eye shadow! Sing along movie night anyone?

I have seen this movie a number of times and have enjoyed it. I love 80's music and I enjoy musicals so it was a given that I would like the movie even if it was cheesy - which it is. I will say this though before I go on. I rented the movie on Amazon after seeing it five or six times over the course of a few years and realized that I had been watching the extended version with some scenes cut out of the actual cinema release. The movie I saw tonight on Amazon was the cinema release and was missing those cut scenes and BOY did I miss them. One of the best scenes is completely cut out and that is when Tom Cruise's Stacee Jaxx goes into a bar where Julianne Hough's Sherrie is working and they sing "Rock me Like a Hurricane" together in the VIP room of the club. It's a great song and the scene is excellent. And you won't see it unless you see the extended or unedited version. It is on YouTube though. A few other scenes are missing as well but don't take much away from the final cut.Having said that, this movie is a dramady. It tries to be funny and it works some of the time and it tries to be poignant and it works some of the time. The music is amazing for anyone who likes 80's rock songs and all the actors used their own voices for their songs including the star of the movie, Tom Cruise, who has a great voice and played the aging, nearly washed up rock star perfectly. I never thought I would believe that Tom Cruise was a drunken, long haired, 80's rock god but I did while I was watching this movie. He is hardly recognizable with his long hair and tattooed body and he has the entitled, out of control rock star shtick down pat. I don't think anyone could have done a better job. He is the best actor AND singer in the movie.The other stars are all fine. Casting could have been better for some characters but they all add flavor to the movie. The movie is essentially a love story as well as an ode to rock and roll. The dialog is weak but the music makes up for it. Lots of well known stars are in this and all sing, some of whom do not sing at all in general and probably shouldn't again. Hello, I'm talking to you,. Russell Brand!If you are looking for a serious film, this isn't it. If you're looking for a film that has songs sung in perfect tune by every cast member, this isn't it. But if you like a little cheese with your 80's rock, this movie is good fun. I really enjoy watching it. It goes from serious and touching to downright silly in a heartbeat but it's one of those films that just has to be watched with an open mind and enjoyed for the memories and the music.The storylines are all over the place with many, many little subplots which make it interesting at every turn. If you can, try to catch the deleted "Rock You Like a Hurricane" scene on YouTube or on the extended release because it's one of the better scenes in the movie, in my opinion. I suspect it didn't make the cut because it depicted the female lead, Sherrie, as not quite as innocent as she seemed and they wanted to keep her wide eyed and wholesome.Don't blink during the last quarter of the film or you will miss seeing some very recognizable 80's rock stars in the crowd where the rock lovers and the naysayers clash and sing a mash up. Naturally they are on the side of the rock lovers..The movie, made in 2012., isn't dated at all because it is set in 1987 so it will always be relevant as an era movie. Give it a chance. It grows on you. That's why I ended up watching it again tonight!

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.

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!!!

I love this movie. It is great to see all the songs and stuff from the 80s. This is a great show if you haven't seen it yet and you like musicals you will like this

Tolle Story - Geniale zeitlose Rockmusik

80年代のアメリカロック満載で、細かいところに80年代のおかしな？流行りなどが散りばめられていて笑えます。主演ではないもののトムクルーズが出演！カリスマロッカーを演じてます。80年代青春を過ごした人必見です！音楽物映画のため日本語吹替はありません。歌ってるシーンなど多いため吹き替えは無理があるのでしょう。とにかくとても面白い映画です！

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 !!!

まず８０年代の楽曲を使用という点ですぐさま購入（笑ミュージカルってさほど馴染みもないしどうかなと思いましたが・・・。いや〜、面白かったです。　ストーリーはネタバレしちゃうとまずいので細かく言えませんけど、当時のＬＡメタル（今はヘアーメタルなんていうのかな）シーンを舞台に、ブラックユーモア的な事も取り入れたくすっと笑えるものになってます。　なんとキャサリン・ゼタ＝ジョーンズが当時「ロックが青少年に悪影響を及ぼす」なんて声高にしていたＰＭＲＣという団体（のパロディー）の代表なんてことをやってまして、その見事な歌と大げさな演技にも笑えました。　そして、もっと意外だったのは、トム・クルーズですね。やや声質が細い気もしますが数曲見事に歌い上げていまして、最近やや下降気味のどこか孤独な大物ロックアーティストを見事に演じています。まあ、そういう設定もパロディーなんでしょうが。　メアリー・Ｊ・ブライジもなんとジャーニーの「お気に召すまま（あえて邦題です）」を見事にカバーしています。　主役、というか準主役といっていいのか、都会にあこがれて田舎からＬＡへやってきた女の子を演じるジュリアン・ハフも可愛かったです。ジャケ写だとそうみえないんですが、劇中ではもっとナチュラルメイクな感じです。彼女自身、プロシンガーですから歌もうまいですね。　ロックを歌うには可憐な声ですけど。　　映像特典では、当時シーンの中心にいたアーティストたちのインタビューが収録されており、８０年代のいろいろな話が聞けます。個人的にはこの特典で大満足でした。　当時聞いていた人はもちろん、若い人にも十分楽しめる内容です。サントラも買っちゃいました。

No la he visto pero la banda sonora es total!
