Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
As long as there is a need for adolescent male sexual fantasy, there will be an audience for Heavy Metal. Released in 1981 and based on stories from the graphic magazine of the same name (possibly the greatest publication to simultaneously provoke imagination and masturbation), the film has since become the most popular single title in Columbia/TriStar's entire film library. That's an amazing fact considering just how silly and senseless the movie really is--an aimless, juvenile amalgam of disjointed stories and clashing visual styles, employing hundreds of animators from around the world with a near-total absence of creative cohesion. It remains, for better and worse, a midnight-movie favorite for the stoner crowd--a movie best enjoyed by randy adolescents or near-adults in an altered state of consciousness.

With a framing story about a glowing green orb claiming to be the embodiment of all evil, the film shuttles through eight episodic tales of sci-fi adventure, each fueled by some of the most wretched rock music to emerge from the 1980s. The most consistent trademark is an abundance of blood-splattering violence and wet-dream sex, the latter involving a succession of huge-breasted babes who shed their clothes at the drop of a G-string. It's all quite fun in its rampantly brainless desire to fuel the young male libido, and for all its incoherence Heavy Metal remains impressive for the ambitious artistry of its individual segments. Courtesy of producer Ivan Reitman (who'd just scored a hit with Stripes), voice talents include several Canadian veterans of Second City comedy, including John Candy, Harold Ramis, Eugene Levy, and Joe Flaherty. --Jeff Shannon

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Long Live HEAVY METAL!!!!
I watched this movie when I was 13 and it just blew me away. Not I'm 39 and the impact is still just as strong. Great music and great animation. If your a fan of Metal music, or animation you'll love this movie.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - great buy, as good as I remember
It was sent promtly and arived quickly, in was as good as I remember it from the 80's



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Heavy Metal
I bought the new revamped dvd. It said it was better than the old one. Is that nought a horible thing to read. I loved the orignal and got this. It was terrible!!! The music is very low. The last one has always been the best. Such a beautiful woman to have to save the world. They changed her face to make her look like a man in drag. Don't waste your money on this one.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent!
DVD arrived very, very fast and in great condition! Excellent transaction! Would definitely purchase from this seller again!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Love the digital copy
The single most unique aspect here is the digital copy that's included for transfer to PC or Sony PSP. The movie itself is not really in need of review, if you wanna read Krull reviews then the internet is full of them...but this DVD includes the bonus digital copy for PC or Sony PSP. The most difficult aspect is "unlocking" the digital key that's included with purchase. Once the software is unlocked, then transfer is pretty quick and the resulting image quality is really good, especially on the ... Read More
