Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Motorskallen Hey! Whatta ---- !! Why doesn't this band appear anymore? This "rockumentary" actually gives a real touch, and not only is it tunes in the name of DreamEvil and Manowar ... this band was actually BEFORE these kind of bands. I really dig "Tonight I'm gonna rock you tonight" and "Rainy day sun", because this band gives a touch of different kind of music genres. The old 60s weed-smokers-and-get-stoned-and-say-hail-to-the-rainbow-music stuff as well as heavy metal.It's also fun to watch their self ironic stuff, like in the intro when they can't get down on the scene. Or when they get out of the eggs and one dude dressed up as chicken actually appears in one of them. Hilarious! I strongly recommend this film for all beginners of heavy metal. 10 out of 10.PS! If you're expecting a sequel to the original "This is spinal tap" you'll however get disappointed. This should be watched more like a "serious" concert recorded live.
GrantCAGE THIS IS SPINAL TAP is probably the funniest rock mockumentary ever made and also it's one of my favourite movies ever, so naturally I wanted to see this spoofy Tap concert. There is gags between the concert footage with Nigel Tufnel and St. Hubbins discussing their childhood and early musical life in Squatney, London. The sound quality of the actual concert was terrible. Michael McKean's voice was terrible. Very grouchy sound and the gags just didn't work. They obviously were playing off on the funniness of THIS IS SPINAL TAP, but the gags here are very similar to THIS IS.. and also very predictable. If you are a die-hard TAP fan, you'll probably love this, but for me it was a huge dissapointment! 4/10
MisterWhiplash To say this movie (straight to video it looks like) is as classic and groundbreaking as the original This Is Spinal Tap would be wrong. But still, the film has it's moments of being utterly hilarious and is worth watching through the flaws. It consists of concert footage and songs not yet heard. But it also has backstage and outside footage of the band. That footage is not great outside, but there are some real laugh out loud moments, like when Nigel shows his new invention- a foldable wine glass (but it still needs hinges). Martin Short, Paul Schaffer and Rob Reiner appear in cameos; the songs include Hell Hole, America, Stonehendge and Tonight We're gonna rock it. A-
Untamed_Aggression I feel a little disappointed with the comments here, because I thought the film was brilliant. The songs are as cool as ever, and the new interviews and documentary footage are incredibly funny, easily equaling the original film. Anyone who's seen this will know what I mean when I talk about The Folksmen...What shocked me though, is that here in the UK, the film has a PG certificate, and yet the band clearly uses the words c**t and f**k! I guess the guys at the BBFC weren't paying much attention...Overall, I'd give this an 8/10, not quite as good as the original film, but a good laugh.
