Mike and I had high hopes for this flick, then we were let down by the reviews and got scared to watch it. Then the soundtrack came out and that was even worse. What were we to expect? After watching Beerfest, we figured it could do no wrong as we had some beer in us and were pumped to see Jack Black and Kyle Gass in action.
We were not disappointed. Overall, it was a decent flick. Was it the calibre of the HBO TV series? Meh. I thought the TV series was more funny. But the movie wasn’t that bad at all if you enjoy the Tenacious D storyline. The deleted scenes were hilarious. I wish all DVDs had a feature which would allow you to incorporate the deleted scenes into the movie – hence making a Director’s cut. I was thinking this while watching The Matrix Reloaded last night and hoping that the Enter The Matrix footage could be incorporated somehow. Sure, it may be choppy, but that’s to be expected.
ACTUALLY, now I remember that the DVD version of Ray did this! It was a magnificent move.
Back to Tenacious D, it had some good cameos and all around good rocking soundtrack which I appreciate more after watching the film.
