Jake Cole Slant Magazine 04/26/2022
Swapping out the anthology format for a single unified narrative, the film suffers from being unable to pad out ideas that barely sustained a single segment of Heavy Metal into feature length. Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy 04/30/2022

Zack M @Guydudebro Jan 12 This isn't your boomer dad's Heavy Metal. The original movie was great, and in Heavy Metal 2000 they turn everything up a 1000% for the attitude era of the time. They know their audience...horny stoners...and the movie absolutely delivers. It reads like a story from the pages of the magazine come to life with all the horniness and shallow characters that hallmark the genre. The characters aren't deep, but they are excessive, indulgent, and extreme to the highest degree. The plot isn't shakespeare, but it hits so many guilty pleasure tropes of sci fi/fantasy. The CGI art can be cheesy, but looking back from the future, it now seems nostalgic and def has a unique aesthetic. This movie has everything: heaving bosoms, lizard kings, blood, spaceships, mystery, and a diabolical antagonist. It is nonstop action. Not just a horny male fantasy...it is the epitome of the genre. Put respect on it's name. This is a psychedelic indulgent masterpiece. IT'S HEAVY METAL. Enjoy it under the influence See more Anderson O @Platinum2027 Jul 15 Heavy Metal is run of the mill revenge story, nothing as special at all than its predecessor. Animation and action didn’t age very well with the animation style. Not at all Missing much. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 21 The worst in 1 hour and 28 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Sam G @RT88581841 09/14/2024 Unfortunate and imminently forgettable. See more Johnathon W @Hoppynsc 09/29/2023 Disappointing film from beginning to end that has no of the fun of the original, just playing off sexy images and violent action. The only appeal is Michael Ironside's performance as the villainous Tyler. Outside of that, skip altogether. See more Richard L @KaneLived 03/30/2023 A mess of a script done no favors by incredibly poor direction and editing, but cool visuals and creative concepts do harken back to better times.
