Never seen the original and this was on TV, it's overacted and bad but I actually enjoyed it being so bad it was good, although they must have spent loads of the budget on costumes Wink

Not seen the re-make, but we all love the original at chez Offler, and have the soundtrack in the car! My 4 year old loves Hot Patootie 😁

YABU. The (original) Rocky Horror Show is not "somewhat likeable" it is awesome!

Just realised I didn't put remake in the title! BlushI think it's because I put the whole title in the title and thought too long!

The original is my favourite film. I can't bring myself to watch the re-make. I have a bit of a thing for Tim Curry in his corset and suspenders!

YABU saying it was "somewhat likeable" 😜

Is it strange that I thought Tim Curry was hot in the original. #thoselegsthough!

The remake was an abomination! Bad acting and far too "clean" for Rocky. I adore Laverne Cox but she was the wrong choice for the role. There is and will only ever be one Frank - Tim Curry.

I've watched the remake and had to watch the original straight after to bleach it from my mind.

Original awesome, remake absolute shite

Love the original!

The remake is meh. It's quite a pretty, nicely filmed production. But Rocky Horror should be rough and dirty.

The Glee version with cleaned up lyrics is terrible. Just the worst episode of anything ever.

The original is amazing! I've seen it live on stage twice as well. I have no interest in watching the remake, no matter how great Laverne Cox is, it would be upsetting.

No interest in the remake at all. Why would they do that when the original is so amazing. Nothing can compare with Tim Curry.

I hadn't heard of the remake until finding my adult daughter had recorded it on my sky. She watched under 1 minute before pronouncing it unwatchable. I gave it a go cut to 20 minutes in when frank appears oh my word! My partner isn't a fan and even he needed 5 minutes of the original to wash it away!

Aside from anything else seeing "victorious" trying to be Janet was toe curling!

There is nothing like the original, I didn't even bother with the remake.
I used to know the whole film by heart - at what age should children be introduced to it?

Remake is shit. Original is awesome! I had to watch the original straight after the remake to bleach my brain.

Laverne Cox was utterly shite and can't act. In fact all the cast was appalling or great but under utilised. They couldn't even do the timewarp.

The only redeeming feature of the remake is Adam Lambert as Eddie the rest of it was abominable

Do yourself a favour watch the original as soon as possible and see it how it should be

I managed about 20 mins of the remake before I had to turn it off. Even DH who isn't a fan said it's dire.

The original is the best.
I adore Tim Curry in his fishnets, he was so sexy in it.
