Tenacious D Supreme

Rating: 10/10 (13 May 2012)

I didn't watch it when it came out at the theaters because i was only 16 at the time, i watched it a couple of months later when the DVD found its way to me and my friends.
After years of hype and months listening to the soundtrack i was disappointed with the movie, mainly because i was expecting it to be, well a actual movie, all i thought i saw at the time was a music video and a repeat of what i had already heard/seen from there previous album.
The hype kinda killed it for me at the time, also the trailers didn't help and gave me the wrong idea about the movie.
I had only heard of them from friends in late 2004 so yeah, anyway.
Upon re-watching this massive underrated classic again in HD with some decent and speakers it completely blew me away.
The score/soundtrack and visuals in the music video like scenes where fantastic.
If you've put off watching this or re-watching it, or just not sure about how to let jay-bee blow your mind for the first time i recommend you give this another look, yes even if you didn't like it the first couple of times.
Now how is the actual movie? Well its basic, it has what some more seasoned movie goers would say 'a predictable plot' but thats just it, everything outside the plot such as the crazy characters, hilarious dialogue and awesome music just make you forget about the 'story' its weird because once i just accepted this fact i enjoyed it a whole lot more once i saw it for the 2nd/3rd time.
The direction and cinematography is actually pretty good for whats essentially a full length music video movie and the special effects and stunts, while basic are used in such a way that it just enhances the already crazy level of slapstick awesomeness to a whole level.
I only have a small problem with the movie as it currently stands, as a fan is that there could have been some more new material that wasn't on the album, i guess i just want as much TD as i can get.
9.5/10 PS. its better than school of rock, you should watch go watch that too.
