Trailer: Rock Of Ages

The kids just want to rock but the fuddy-duddy old people want to shut down all their fun! Where have I heard that one before?

When I saw the title, my first thought was the game, and my first reaction was "what?!?!"

I liked this better when it was a video game

I can't remember the last movie Catherine Zeta-Jones headlined.

Edit: Also this has nothing to do with that game that was created by the Zeno Clash devs.

Is it wrong for me to be excite to see this? No, I don't think so.

I am not a huge fan of musicals and it really takes a lot to get me to watch them. I may check it out if I hear good things.

I like how Bad Religion is on one of the marquees

Can't believe that Tom Cruise is taking a bit-part in a film. His career must really be in the crapper.

Guys, it's all your favorite hits from Poison, Journey and Foreigner! You know, the music of a generation!

this looks fun needs more journey though

I kinda hope Cruise has no dialog in the entire. It would be hilarious - someone please tell me thats a thing.

Trailer fails to capture the rock aesthetic, instead putting out pop-stylized-musical graphic design work: Early rumbling inside that the creators will completely miss the point. :/

Also, manager at bar totally talks at conversational volume from fifteen feet away in the middle of an indoor rock concert. Wut.

I honestly thought this was going to be a biopic of Def Leppard, im pretty disappointed right now.

Arc209on Dec. 13, 2011 at 4:25 p.m.

Yep still not a fan of a lot of musicals...

I didn't think it was possible to turn hair metal and arena rock -- what with its super masculine big hair, makeup and tight pants -- into something gay, but Hollywood found a way! :)

In all seriousness, this looks awful. When will Hollywood learn that no one wants to pay to see Glee-level covers of great songs? Considering they paid for an impressive cast here, why wouldn't they pay to get some of the original acts in their damn movie? Covers suck...when they're horrible, which they are here. The last thing these songs needed were to be sung by teenage girls. Teenage girls ruin everything. Might as well have Rebecca Black singing, "We're not gonna take it", because that's what it sounds like here.

Oh well, at least another movie that managed a way to make Tom Cruise look average height. Movie magic, people!

want

Michael Arndt needs to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Screenplay to carry on his 100% track record. Methinks this...won't happen. But '80s rock music is the best thing in the world so I don't care.

hrn212on Dec. 13, 2011 at 6:15 p.m.

Well this looks like it might be a bit of stupid fun, or a complete bore. Though the idea of Cruise playing a jaded rockstar who has no lines in the movie would be kinda funny....if that's what ends up happening.

bunkerbuster05on Dec. 13, 2011 at 8:41 p.m.

I've seen the broadway musical this is based on. I liked it.

damnitstedon Dec. 13, 2011 at 8:57 p.m.

this does not look good, but I'll probably see it for Alec Baldwin
