AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Executscan Expected more
Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
redfirestonedrake In the beginning, like everybody else, I was skeptical about this show at first. A cartoon is the last thing I would expect from Gene Simmons, but then again, the man is a merchandising juggernaut. From KISS action figures, to comics to movies, to condoms to candy, it wasn't surprising that Gene will create another KISS product, but with a twist.This show is unique because we see a different side to Gene Simmons. But this show had mixed reviews. When you first look at it, you either love it or hate it. I am one of those people who actually like this show. One of the things I first noticed is that this sitcom is original. Most sitcoms tend to lack originality as of lately, yet this show follows the lifestyle of a famous rock star while his son tried to coop up with the insanity and the unwanted attention. He is definitely a fish out of water with his tongue-wagging dad, New Age mom and spoiled sister, but he struggles to try and fit in a quiet, suburban town called Silent Springs.The show talks a lot about not judging a book by it's cover. That just because a family looks different and has different traditions, doesn't mean that they are just like everybody else. This is a lesson that we learn from the Addam's Family, and we can learn a lot from the Zillas too.The characters are interesting to look at and dare I say it, the Zillas are the wisest family I ever came across. Yes, they're different, but they're far more open-minded then other parents. They have a lot of common sense and won't force the kids to do something they don't want to be doing. Yes, they make mistakes, all families do but they're close-knit despite the mix personalities.I also want to talk about Quincy's character. Yes, he is supposed to be a gangster, but he doesn't fit the stereotype. The genre of clothes he wears are reference to hip hop and gangster rap which is part of the pop culture these kids live in. Yes, he does speak the occasional slang but he does speak English too. The clothes he wears are part of the genre so please stop accusing Quincy of being a stereotype.But this show is not perfect. Most of the stuff Gene uses in this show has been overused; a kid struggling to fit in, but there is an interesting twist to this tale. The reason why Willie wants to fit in is because he wanted to be liked for himself and not because of a famous dad. Understandable.While the animation is by the wonderful and talented, Nelvana Studios, this show is just average so it is no wander why they didn't produce anymore episodes. Mostly because it is predictable for Gene to create a cartoon series (unexpected, maybe, not predictable).
rox_x Gene Simmons has done it again! He came up with Kiss now it's Rockzilla! I can see Gene reflected so much in him. This show is so funny! It's hilarious! When they went to the posh restaurant and Rock asked the violinist "Do you know anything by Kiss?" I almost died laughing! Crystal is the kooky wife and her voice is awesome! Willy adds that touch to the show that brings it to life and his friends are so funny! Rock zilla has the make up, tongue, howl and personality of a rock star and those of Gene Simmons. The theme song is a catchy jingle. And when Rock sings it's Gene back on stage with Kiss all over again! Gene's idea was from his son. He son is a genius! This is one of the best shows on T.V!
Korn_Tigress386 The first time I saw a preview of the cartoon, I was skeptical of it and thought it wouldn't be so interesting. But once I saw the first couple of episodes, I absolutely loved it and now I watch it every chance I get. It's just so funny and entertaining and you really can't miss that Rock Zilla takes after Gene Simmons. My favorite of the human characters is Rock Zilla, and of the animals, Mosh the pet lizard (or is he a giant iguana?). Well, I enjoy the cartoon and really look forward to future episodes as well as what wacky messes Rock Zilla will get into. I admire all the characters really, but Rock and Mosh are the best. I have to say that Rock's mother is also great. She's a sweet grandma on the outside, but a rocker woman on the inside!
Europe86 I must admit, I didn't like it too much when I saw the first episode, but since then it grew on me. Another reason I wanted to watch it is because it is created by Gene Simmons and I am a big KISS fan. This cartoon shows the generation difference, how young kids think their parents are not cool. I love this show and my favourite character is Rock Zilla. It doesn't take Einstein to see the the similarity between Rock Zilla and Gene Simmons. I mean the hair, the tongue and the make up!
