If you want a deep masterpiece then don't bother with this movie, if you want a cheesy movie that makes you crack up then this is for you. This movie is just like Grindhouse, a homage to cheesy 80's action/horror movies. The plot is simple as hell, predictable, close to zero character development, and there's some really corny dialog. However I believe this was intentional and all the jokes tossed in help me believe this even more. If anything it's a dark comedy, I mean most people don't laugh when a guy strapped to a cage on top of a car explodes while wiggling his tongue around or when a rabbit gets shot and explodes into a spray of blood but if your into that kind of thing then this movie is great.
It succeeds in what it means to do and for that I say it's successful. I mean this movie goes everywhere, there's a holocaust of punk rockers, a Lord Of The Rings castle complete with "gift shop" signs, a Gladiator battle, a road warrior car chase sequence, and more decapitations then I can count.
I'm not going to claim this movie is good, but damn is it fun. It's a B-movie with a big budget and I love it. It wants to have fun while being gory and it does both. See this in a full house like I did if you can, it makes the experience just that much better. However if this kind of humor isn't up your alley or you only go to see serious movies I'd avoid this.
