Only three children were present at the Preview I witnessed and they were silently spellbound whereas the adults evoked emotion noisily throughout and then stood up, cheered and applauded at the end! I shall never forget this truly magical experience. Go see it with a predominantly adult audience if you want to experience the real buzz of unfettered emotion. Not a masterpiece of cinematic potential, but such jolly good fun that no one should be denied the joy of a "Bloody Marvelous" frolic.
A Rocky Horror Show Audience Participation Show for kids! Long overdue. Wands, swords, sorting hat, spiders, mandrakes & crucial ear muffs as standard props! Lots of gaps for us to shout out funny quips. In the not to distant future I see fans going to a regular weekend slot at their local cinema for Audience Participation fun. Brilliant! The staging is very theatrical in it's minimalism, yet extravagantly arty in visual specifics. The problem is: how do we convince muggles put-off by the 1st film to go see this one? Why should they give this one a chance? Answer: If you know someone who likes Fun, make them see this film! This film is not about 'Oscars' & Acting, despite the fabulous performances by all the adults, it is about enjoying the overall effect of the film, this being to give the viewer a long lasting buzz. The last hour is scary, wand dropping tension. The 1st hour is pure laugh out loud fun (the adults in my Cinema audience were shouting with laughter!). Anyone can watch this film and follow it without knowing the book. Lessons learned since the 1st film! Clearly this film was edited at script stage rather than the cutting room floor stage!! This story reads as film narrative, rather than a book illustration, which was the big mistake of the 1st film.
