Review of Rock Star (2001) by Lucas Y — 12 Jan 2010
Pretty lame. I've always been a fan of Marky Mark, but it seems he just plays a diet Dirk Diggler in Rock Star. He has his moments in this movie & his rocker voice is totally believable. I guess we should have known he could sing from his days with the Funky bunch.
My biggest problem with Rock Star is the lame musical score. How can you make an 80's heavy metal movie with Bon Jovi, Van Halen & Everclear?? The song choices were ridiculous. Jennifer Aniston can't save this movie either.
She was terribly miscasted. She seemed no different from her character on Friends. Totally unbelievable rocker chick. My favorite performance of the movie was by Dominic West, the only believable rock star as Steel Dragon's lead guitarist.
It was cool to see Jason Bonham too. Watch This is Spinal Tap if you want to see a good heavy metal movie.
