Rock Of Ages Review.

Watched Rock of Ages starring Tom Cruise, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Alec Baldwin and Paul Giamatti. The film was pretty fun despite a terrible script with jokes that fall flat, in addition to a third act that is about 20-30 minutes overlong. The film suffers from a horrible choppy editing because the film does not flow smoothly from scene to scene. The film's problems begin with who it cast as its leads because Julianne Hough and Diego Boneta are not strong enough actors and singers to carry this movie musical. I like that the writers changed a few things from the original Broadway musical such as , Hertz Klinemann and his son Franz, who are the main antagonists in the musical, had their roles filled by new character Patricia Whitmore (Catherine Zeta-Jones), with the Mayor of L.A. now being Patricia's husband Mike Whitmore. The musical choreography was very well executed and expressed the 80's dance scene. I love how the scenery and the set production really embody how Los Angeles was in the 80’s. The only actors who were amazing and dominated in the film was Tom Cruise and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Tom Cruise gave a spectacular and convincing performance as the lost soul rocker Stacee Jaxx. I was very impressed with his vocal abilities and how professional he was by getting a vocal coach to help him with the songs. I believe this is Tom Cruise Oscar Gold worthy performance. Academy Award Winner for the movie musical of Chicago (2002) Catherine Zeta-Jones was sexy hot as the religious conservative villainess who wants to shut down the Bourbon Room an attempt to rid L.A. of its sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll image. Catherine Zeta-Jones was fantastic and she has awesome vocal abilities and she can dance her ass off. Overall the songs were performed very well sometimes it was pitchy and out of tune, But you will have a rock 'n' roll of a good time with this 80's rock musical. I will give it an B-.
