Rating Criteria
0/5 – No value whatsoever. Absolute waste of time.
1/5 – Barely worth any time.
2/5 – Pathetic but has a bit of something to hold the attention a little.
3/5 – Somewhat kept the attention but could definitely have used more.
4/5 – Good, but not awe-strikingly amazing. Could have maybe used a bit more to the movie.
5/5 – Go see it! Wonderful movie all around. – characters, music, theme, story line, etc.
3/5 - *SPOILERS* The plot was interesting and the music was good. It just was weird that Danny didn't recognize Kira as his old muse instead of just Sonny's muse.
The worst song in the whole movie was when Sonny and Danny were at the abandoned building and Sonny was imagining an electric rock and roll band whereas Danny was imagining old time jazz band. It went back and forth between the two bands and was annoying.
Here is that song:
Overall, the movie wasn't bad but at the same time I was sitting and thinking 'this isn't as good as I thought it would be'. The hype I had from finding the movie was spoiled by actually watching it. Very nifty to watch a movie from 36 years ago but... Well, so be it. I'll keep the movie for my library though will probably not watch it again.
