Repo! The Genetic Opera
I just saw the shadow cast of this movie last night (for those that don't know, this is when actors act out the play in front of the movie screen) in LA, and it was absolutely amazing. Anyone else a fan of the movie?

Re: Repo! The Genetic Opera
It was ok. I think I may have been expecting too much from Giles in it though.

Re: Repo! The Genetic Opera
Well I've heard from a lot of people that it's a much more enjoyable experience live. Maybe that's what made it better for me, I don't know.

Re: Repo! The Genetic Opera
I just discovered the movie a few weeks ago and i loved it, but most people i know were thrown off by it being an opera. They kept thinking musical when i told them about it. I've never seen it live but i would guess that that makes it much better.

Re: Repo! The Genetic Opera
I watched it, loved it, and showed it to my friends. We all get a kick out of the random Joan Jett cameo.

Re: Repo! The Genetic Opera
I was told it was the funniest movie ever.
But it turns out the jokes were actually gore. But my friends couldn't stop laughing.
If I had been told it was a gory and shocking movie I could have prepared myself for it, but no, I was told it was purely a comedy.

Re: Repo! The Genetic Opera
Saw it a few months ago, and thought it was pretty good. The ending was a bit stupid, but the soundtrack is phenomenal.

I and all of my friends of big fans of Repo! There's going to be a shadowcast sometime in the fall in the city I live. I'm totally going to go.

Re: Repo! The Genetic Opera
huh, what? What sick person told that Repo is the funniest movie ever? It's a great opera and I like it, but it's not really a comedy.

Re: Repo! The Genetic Opera
Sounds like the general reaction. I have a few friends who refuse to watch it on principal, a Hilton sister in it and all. Which is a shame since this movie actually got me around to respecting her.

Re: Repo! The Genetic Opera
I love this movie. Campy, dark, macabre and a soundtrack that kicks more the move 'surf' in Blain's Gym.

Re: Repo! The Genetic Opera
I saw the movie Saturday, and I'm listening to the soundtrack now (Skipping over Shiloh's songs, don't like her voice, I can stand her in a duet but not just her).
I really like the concept, the way it was filmed, the acting, the visual style of the movie, the songs (most of them anyway).
I have no complains with this movie, even Shiloh, who I don't like her voice is perfectly cast to present a inmature young teenager.Last edited by Prock; 2009-06-15 at 12:55 PM.

Re: Repo! The Genetic Opera
So, I finally saw this movie, and I was totally excited about it, because all of you had praised it so highly, and the last time I had watched something you all raved about, Dr. Horrible, I was very, very pleased.
I have to say, Giant, I payed thirteen dollars for this movie, and I was disappointed.
It seemed very poorly stuck together to me, and the music was awful, especially the lyrics. Many of the characters hardly contributed to anything, and I felt let down by Anthony Head and Sarah Brightman.
That said, I fell in love with the Graverobber.

Re: Repo! The Genetic Opera
I take it back.
I watched it again, and while it isn't fantastic, its a pretty decent movie.

Re: Repo! The Genetic Opera
Err...where does it says it's an opera? i thought the "genetic opera" was a reference to the opera that's performed in the musical, rather than what the movie itself was.
yo dawg.
