Stop the Music!!
Okay, I went out and actually bought this movie because I haven't seen it since childhood. About five minutes into it a bunch of the old-school characters get wiped out. Then another five minutes sees more of them getting sent to silocon heaven. The story was just flat out ridiculous, here you have this planet that is annihilating the universe but no one has ever seen or heard of it?Enough about the plot, I know it's a kids movie. Now to the really annoying part, the music. Every battle sequence was filled with awful 80's hair-rock music, lyrics and all. Most movies, like donnie darko, use short clips but this flick played entire songs. I heard "The Touch" in both the beginning and the end of the movie. I can't stress how much I hate that tune. The only time I liked it is when Marky Mark butchered it in "Boogie Nights."The overflow of music makes this "so-called classic" impossible to enjoy. Thankfully the movie is just under 90 minutes, and if you try hard enough, it's possible to make it to the end. But be warned, for those of you that enjoyed it as a youth, times change and people grow up! This Movie Sucks Ass!!
