Not even bad in a good way

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

There are some people that have just taken this far too seriously. Firstly, the show was never supposed to be realistic. Anyone thinking it should be shouldn't be watching kids TV in the first instance. Reality ain't what 22 minute shows are about ~ laughs and fun are the substance of kids' shows. Secondly, the music is as close to heavy metal as it needs to be. The point of the show was not to turn the youthful masses onto authentic metal, a genre too deep and wide to honestly categorize with one phrase. Nor was it to accurately portray the inner workings of a metal band {it's not realistic, remember ?}. It's a 22 minute per episode parody and in that context, quite an original idea as many other genres have been covered down the years on kids' shows but not the harder rock end. It's corny yet subtle in many places and to be honest, unless one is prepared to look beyond one's own biases, you're better off staying away from the show. Personally, I thought it was funny most of the time, not flawless by any means and I think 2 seasons were just the right amount of time for the show to run its course. Lighten up folks ~ it was supposed to be ridiculous !Now having watched both series recently, I have to say that this was one of the best kids' shows I've seen. Surprisingly perhaps, it was consistently funny in every episode. I only found one lame episode actually, and that was the crossover episode with "Suite life on deck." Those crossovers are generally hit and miss anyway and this one didn't work well {made me see Zack and Cody in a slightly negative new light though}. While I wasn't really a fan of Logan Miller {although it has to be said, he plays his part well} Steve Valentine, Greg Baker and Stephen Full {and I'd throw in Caitlyn Taylor Love, the guys that played Metalwolf, Chucky, Simon Craig and Tripp's Mum too} were hilarious throughout. The three of them actually achieved a superb rapport and it's hard when seeing them in other shows or films to see them as anything other than Derek, Burger and Ash, so synonymous with the characters were they. No, overall, this was a superb fun series that never let up in quality and finished on a high at just the right time. I'm glad they didn't string it out until it became "not so good" then lame, like so many other series that began with a bang and hit a mighty peak.

First off associating metal with this show is an insult to metal these characters are just functionally retarded and play to the stereotype of the stupid dunder headed metal musician. Secondly there is no real metal to be found here despite promises to the contrary mind you this isn't at all surprising considering this is a Disney show but they could have done a better job than poorly imitating hair rock (nope that wasn't metal) a lousy genre to begin with. I can't speak for the actors because i haven't seen most of them anywhere else caitlyn taylor love is cute and steve valentine who is kinda funny i've seen in a few other things but that's all i've got on that. I will give one compliment and say the hip hop is dead episode was pretty funny though.

I don't understand how some people are talking about it being totally unrealistic and then they start bringing up Hannah Montanah. Talk about unrealistic. First of all, it's nothing alike (This is funny, that sucks), but second of all, I don't really see the big deal here. It's a Disney show. It's meant for kids. Why should it be realistic? It's a lot better than a lot of other kids' shows I've seen (Hannah Montanah, Zack & Cody, iCarly etc) That said, I just think it's a really funny show. I'm 17 years old right now and I just about cried because I was laughing so loud. It's not some stupid show just for kids, it's really funny. Yeah, some of the jokes are a bit lame, but that all depends on what you like. I think it's great. The characters are really funny, with the three dumb (well, two dumb and one even dumber) rockers and the one smart teenager. The jokes might be a bit easy, but they're just so random that I can't stop laughing about it.So, taken all that into account, I think this show is great! I wouldn't mind watching it again.

Saw this show for the first time tonight and must admit it did make me laugh several times while watching. Sure it is a bit on the silly side airing on the Disney Channel or Disney XD and the characters are a bit over the top. But really aren't all the characters in sitcoms over the top? Really the show is no more ridiculous than 2 1/2 men or the like and certainly less idiotic than Family Guy and the like.What it does offer is a show kids can watch and laugh at some of the really dumb stuff and older viewers can watch and enjoy with out a 30 minute stream of sex jokes and offensive humour. One episode I saw had a good deal of semi dark humour as a girls dad/ record producer was having a funeral for her cat "Hip Hop". The band members thought the producer was saying the music style was dead and they were there to celebrate and say how happy they were Hip Hop was dead. Throw in a missing dead cat and some serving trays and I thought it was the funniest funeral since Mary Tyler Moore.Don't let the "kids Show" label dissuade you from giving this show a look.
