I am a horror and gore fan. Some of it looked fake. I did like some of the songs. Rocky Horror Picture show will always be number one. This will only interest a small minority of cult followers. I feel it... Full review

I can't believe the terrible things critics are saying about this film. It's fun and entertaining, with great performances by all of the actors. I will agree that it is better the 2nd time (and 3rd and 4th...) because you are... Full review

Perhaps it's my love for rock opera, perhaps it's my love for post-apocalyptic type movies, and perhaps it's my love for a man dressed in full leather ripping out hearts and spines...but this movie is wonderful. I never really saw Paris... Full review

Being a very avid musical fan I found this movie a pleasant surprise. True not all of the singing is perfect and one of the songs just annoys me, but on the whole this is the best musical of the year.... Full review

With all the critics harping on the movie as being horrible and not worht the time, it makes me wonder if they even went and saw the movie. Most likely not. Most of them saw Hilton's name on the cast list... Full review
Hilton on another Horrible movie

Repo! The Genetic Opera could easily be one of the worst movies of the year...The plot is unbelievably stupid, the lyrics are painful to listen too, and Paris Hilton still can't act to save her life and sings like a hoarse... Full review

This movie has more to it than meets the eye. I never go to the theaters anymore simply because nothing "new" is ever shown. Repo! sure broke that record!... Full review

Thus, everyone bursts frequently into frenetic song.....The voice talent of the ensemble cast is superb, the concept is very original....Although the songs are largely cheesy, they are in fact catchy and well done..... ... Full Review

Track eight, 'Whitevan,' is really weird too.....Of all the weird shit on here, the best song by far is the seventh song, 'psychoreal.....prominently displays the results of twenty-seven years of creating insane music.....swarms of oddly timed moments that feel like the result of weeks of insomniac raving.... ...

The acting is a running problem throughout Repo!....for such a cheap film, it's impressively stylish, with its rich costumes and sets and cinematography....Sorvino's unruly kids have their own sideplots and scenes, which are the worst of the film.....they each want to inherit Sorvino's company, but far worse is the gross slapstick comedy (dig those goofy sound effects) and broader-than-broad manic overacting:....And yet it sounds like such an appealingly crazy, extravagantly wild project..... ...

Film School Rejects
absolutely delighted with the film....the most challenging rage of songs....the success of the film....The ensemble of actors collected may not be the most technically proficient of singers....rumbly and feature Zdunich almost rapping over the beat, whereas I prefer my opera classical..... ...

I found the music atrocious and the acting equally so.....a bad one where they sang the bad dialog instead of speaking it..... ... Full Review
