Review of Heavy Metal 2000 (2000) by Pablo M — 06 Oct 2010

I've read a few reviews slamming this movie and the majority of the complaints are because it is not like the first one. This is not a collection of short stories but one story. It is based on a story written by the owner of Heavy Metal magazine Kevin Eastman and starring his wife Julie Strain. This movie is based on a graphic novel Eastman wrote called The Melting Pot. The only thing this movie has in common with the first one is the name and a few costumes from the last story of the first movie, Taarna.

With that being said I thought this was a great movie. The music and voice acting is solid. The animation is great and having the lead character based on Julie Strain doesn't hurt either. The story is ok but it dragged on a bit.

Again, the music is just great, Im a huge rock, hard rock, Metal and Dead Metal fan, so I guess I can be a bit bias with the music, but yet again the movie is call 'Heavy Metal' for a reason.

If you like a gritty story with great animation,great music,sex, and violence then by all means pick this up. If you don't have an open mind and are just expecting something like the first movie then don't waste your time . . . .
