    Rocky Horror has one of the weakest 3rd acts I’ve ever seen.

    Ive never seen the live show so it might just be pains trying to fit a 2 act musical into a traditional 3 act movie

      Did you try to take it seriously? Rocky Horror being incredibly bad is kind of the point of its popularity.

      I like the last 1/3 of the soundtrack the best. It lets especially Tim Curry and Susan Sarandon have a last highlight.

      The plot is indeed moot at that point though.

      To be fair watching it in a theater with the full cast and audience participation makes it.

      Also being inebriated probably helped…

      I could also be biased since I saw my future wife’s tits for the first time with her playing Columbia and doing the “pop the tits out of the corset” maneuver during the last act.

      I have watched it a bunch. But saw it first a live cast and with people who were really into it. So any re-watch brings me back to that time. Being high helps lol

      As a movie on its own, it’s not great. It’s really about the experience of a live showing.
