Why do people hate this film?


This film is part of my teens and still love it! It never claimed to be Citizen Kane but just fun! I used to read the Deadline comics and Tank Girl originally was a lesbian icon, but this film? Im sorry to say but love and adore it still!!


Take that as you will ;)


Punk Rock!!

People hate it becasue it's NOTHING like the comic and ruins all the good bits. Apart from that it's a very badly scripted and directed movie.

that's the studios fault, Rachael the director was not happy at all with them they changed a lot of stuff last minute

personally I love the movie, but then I don't read comics

reply

Because people find this film annoying and I can actually see where they're coming from. This film is the equivalent of being stoned while watching a superhero cartoon and a punk lesbian porn while listening to some 90's kid's mix tape of his favourite songs.

Not to mention its badly written, its badly directed, its badly acted...and I enjoy every minute.

You just described my Thursday nights. BTW, I love this movie.

I loved Tank Girl! I am floored that it is universally panned. But then again, I also love "Howard The Duck," which says a lot about my taste in movies.

Yeays! Cheesy bad film loving people unite!! ;)

I must have watched Howard The Duck 299 times when I was a kid. I freakin' loved that movie.

You're honest, so I can respect your opinion.

I've never understood the hate. I've been watching & loving this movie for almost 20 years. Everyone I show it to, loves it. People that get all stuck on it not being the same as the comic books apparently aren't familiar with how Hollywood works. I'm just pleased with the movie as it is.

I think Lori Petty & Naomi Watts were both beautiful & played their parts very well. The world could use more strong female leads like this.
The only issues I witnessed with acting usually had to do with the Rippers. But I imagine being under all that costume did not make emoting an easy thing.

Damn right! This movie is fkn awesome! Fast pace, good action, basically it's one hell of a ride and lot of fun. Who gives a sht about haters when movie has fans like us and pretty damn good cult following.

I agree. I love this film. I think it's fun.

I love all kinds of movies. Depends on my mood.



Some times I feel like watching something that is thought provoking and amazingly intelligent. Sometimes, I mightfeel like watching a serious drama, war movie, or documentary. Other times it may be a clever and,comedy or horror, or any mixture of the two... (Cabin Fever or Tucker and Dale anyone??)

Sometimes I just want to sit back, have a beer, turn off my brain, and enjoy the hell out of some Tank Girl!
