This film is one that is a bit bi-polar and frustrating for me, one scene will be awesomely good then the next is utter crap.
Well I always try to start with the good, without a doubt the musical talent (Iggy Pop & Blondie) in this film ROCKS!
All of the voice actors do their job but only if you see the original Canadian cast. The designs are old hat these days but it was striking for its day and still holds up well.
But.... The story is a bit of a mess and many scenes just don't flow right and end up not adding to the story resulting in confusion as to what the story is about. I get the feeling that it wasn't edited right or was rushed; it is just hard to put a finger on it as it comes so close to awesome and then misses the brass ring by mere inches.
Overall this film was savaged by the critics when released and I think unfairly. While it definitely has issues there was more good than bad here and the music does ROCK!
I'm sorry for being so middle of the fence on this one but that is what this film is.
