Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
I just finished watching it and I still can't figure out if I enjoyed it or not.

I think I did.  But I'm not sure.

All I know for sure is that Anthony Stewart Head is awesome.

    I can't figure out why the critics trashed it. I read all the bad Metacritic reviews, but none of them actually said anything about the movie.

    "(description of the film here). I didn't like it. The singing was bad. 3/10."

    I definitely don't think it was bad.  Just... very different. 

    And Paris Hilton somehow wasn't horrible in it.

    But the Agony Booth said it was bad! Because they've sold out and started doing famous, popular movies in a shameless attempt to increase site traffic!

    Repo! had visual style, the beginnings of an interesting setting and appearances by both Sarah Brightman, ohGr and ASH in it's favour. I can remember almost nothing else about it.

    And of course the one song that's stuck in my head is "Mark It Up" which is the most annoying song in the movie. :l

    I think I'm erring on the side of liking it, though.

    Zydrate comes in a little glass vial...

    A little glass vial?!

    A LITTLE GLASS VIAL!

    MORONS! I'VE GOT MORONS ON MY PAYROLL!
    One of my main problems was that when I was watching it felt like it was trying too hard to be a cult classic.

    Other than that I can't remember a thing about it,

    And the little glass vial goes into the gun like a battery.

    and the zydrate gun goes somewhere against your anatomy.

    And when the gun goes off it sparks, and you're ready for surgery.

    I always read the title as "Repo! The Generic Opera."

    Say what you will about it, generic is one thing that Repo isn't.

    I apparently read it correctly even when it's not written correctly.  Since I had to read your post several times before I could even tell what was different between what you said and its actual name.

    Also, the only thing I know about Repo is that one of my sort-of-friends really likes it.

    ^^I wouldn't know. The title is literally the only thing I know about it.

    I like the movie quite a bit. My friends like it a whole lot more than I do. I thought the cast and songs were surprisingly good. I heard people calling it this generation's Rocky Horror Picture Show.

    Glaives are better.

    It was without a doubt the worst musical I've ever seen. And I watched MAME.

    I still enjoyed it.

    Would you consider Pick of Destiny a musical? If so, that was the worse I've ever seen.

    BLASPHEMY. LORD JABLES, LORD RAGE KAGE, STRIKE DOWN THIS INFIDEL AND SMITE HIM FOR HIS INSOLENCE.

    HAIL THE D!

    The songs were good, but everything else was just.... blah.

    I'm sorry that you're wrong. Any film that has Jack Black searching for Satan's tooth so he can play rockin' guitar is automatically awesome and worthy of critical and financial success.

    I can't argue with one with as much passion as you, Hatter. I have seen the error of my ways, good sir. Hail the D!


    I really loved Tribute though.

    WE COULDN'T REMEMBER THE GREATEST SONG IN THE WORLD

    NO 

    THIS IS A TRIBUTE

    Tenacious D was okay. The songs were good, but the movie itself was kind of eh.

    I agree with the above sentiment. Plus, it indirectly gave us "K-On! vs. DMC", so I can forgive its shortcomings.
