“I had high expectations here and this movie didnu0026#39;t come close to meeting them. At itu0026#39;s core is an amazing story, but they failed to tell it with any suspense, compassion or coniction. The trailer sells you on inside details of every act on the label, but for the most part, we only get to know Kiss and Donna Summer.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe biggest problem with this film is none of the talent looks like who they are portraying. Kiss has 5 decades of Cosplayers and every one of those fans looks better than the clown squad they assembled for this film. Not a single member looks like the actual band member and Gene Simmons looks like heu0026#39;s about 5u0026quot;6u0026#39; and that is with the platform boots. Tall talent in real life is portrayed by short people. Thin people like Gladys Knight are portrayed by a fat woman, and short people like George Clinton are portrayed by talent a full foot taller.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs much as I tried to get into this movie, the poor portrayals kept pulling me out. The music also was poorly done again removing me from the fantasy.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere are two reasons this movie is going to tank. 1) its target audience is most likely retired or pushing it. 2) itu0026#39;s not true enough to the people to satisfy the crowd. This was a watered-down remake of Rock of Ages. A poor parody or of poor movie. Thatu0026#39;s what happens when you allow the family of the subject to run the show. These kids are not film makers and it shows in every scene.”
