First the good: Great effects, good fight scenes, fantastic acting, direction, and cinematography.
Now the bad: Formula, formula, formula. This movie was as designed and engineered as N-SYNC. The producers didn't even try to disguise their quest for money with an interesting plot.
And the ugly: The smarmy love-story. It made me want to wretch. How the actors kept straight faces while reciting some of the corniest and sappiest lines I've ever heard is worthy of an Academy Award. I haven't seen anything so maudlin since the Sammy Maudlin show.

This movie predates SNL by a year. Does being first make you the best? No, obviously not. However, give credit where credit is due. Groove Tube was radical, obnoxious, annoying and hilarious in the 70s. If you're under 30, don't waste your time with this one. ***
This movie is possibly the best movie of the 90s. I loved everything about it. The acting was spectacular, the cinematography was breath-taking, the plot was flawless. Testatment to the fact that you don't need to spend 100 million dollars on special effects to produce a great movie.
