Critics Consensus

Laverne Cox's fabulous portrayal of Frank N. Furter leads a strong ensemble effort, but the stars can't infuse this reimagining with enough energy, creativity, and quirk to make TRHPS: Let's Do the Time Warp Again a worthwhile endeavor.

Fox's Rocky Horror feels shallow. There isn't any drive to create a story for queer audiences that challenges the dynamics at play in the original storyline.

Ortega's production is full of curious directorial choices like this. A few hit. Many miss.

A graduate of the High School Musical school of filmmaking (literally), Ortega is also the person responsible for many of the glaring problems here.

them.

With a star-studded cast that also includes Adam Lambert, Christina Milian, and original star Tim Curry, it won’t take long for you to get up out of your seat to do the old familiar dance yourself.

I applaud everyone for trying to recreate the strangely compelling story that was told with the original, but the remake seemed like a toned down version.

Rated: 2/5

A TV-14 rated version of Rocky Horror was bound to send up red flags no matter how you spun it.

Very disappointing. The movie lacked energy, was poorly cast and lost the magic of the original.

En esta segunda películas del clásico The Rocky Horror Picture Show, tenemos una versión adaptada para la televisión con un tono más ligero, pero con una estética más o menos aceptable. Tiene una muy buena apertura y la mayoría de los actores no están mal, aunque debo decir que el actor escogido para el Doctor Scott no fue muy convincente y tampoco la actriz de Magenta. En cambio, la persona que escogieron para Frank-N-Furter es una auténtica trans que logra pegar con el personaje, aunque difícilmente puede opacar a Tim Curry. Afortunadamente, Curry también estuvo involucrado y no estuvo mal en su papel como el criminólogo. Esta versión además tiene una comedia mucho más notoria que la película original. La banda sonora ya es un tema complicado porque hay algunas versiones actualizadas que estuvieron buenas y otras no. Lamentablemente, la versión en español de las canciones es bastante terrible y es mucho mejor ver la película en su idioma original. Esta recreación de The Rocky Horror Picture Show es solo una película para pasar el rato y nada más, ya que no está a la altura de la película original. No está mal, pero no es suficiente. Mi calificación final para esta película es un 7/10.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

It's hard to catch lightning in a bottle twice. Victoria Justice did a good job. But this was not for me. There was some good moments, but all in all, I did not enjoy this version.

If you are a true Rocky Horror Show fan, do yourself a favour and SKIP this re-telling. It does absolutely NOTHING to pay homage to The Rocky Horror Show stage show (1973) and The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) and is instead a wasted opportunity to bring The Rocky Horror (Picture) Show to new audiences and makes true fans cringe. The ONLY saving grace is that Tim Curry stared as the Criminologist, at least paying some homage to Charles Gray and his excellent performance in the Rocky Horror Picture Show. The musical score has been completely changed to suit the poor casting decisions making any of the songs sound dreadful, almost as if the production team simply recorded dogs and cats fighting. Laverne Cox simply destroyed Dr. Frank-N-Furter, making the character too "gay" completely going against Tim Curry's portrayal. The over use of modern day sexualisation ruins the atmospheric conditions that the original had. All in all, I would have much rather I had spent the time I wasted watching this pathetic excuse for "theatre" being ripped limb from limb by rabid guinea pigs!
