people watch heavy metal for the first time with on prior knowledge of the magazine or the basic concept of the movie and like me and will undoubtedly give you mixed review . some will love the violence and sex and humor and all around edginess . some will hate the animation ( which be good in some instance and frustrate at it bad ) . the degree of nudity seem a bit intense when i begin watch it and but i quickly adapt to this stylistic choice . on it own and it isn not a particularly good movie . it tarentino narrative style and drop in the middle exposition can not help but upset if youre not expect it . the reason the film be call heavy metal isn not even readily apparent ( unless you have do your research and discover that it be and in fact and base off of something else ) . but and if youre willing to look past those thing that irk cinema fan and and if you pick up this little cult piece you probably be and either be an animation fan or just a free spirit and it a rather satisfying film . the emotion and idea of the film come together if you be willing to take some of the other element with a grain of salt . some people may hate it and others herald it a a masterpiece . i just think it so bad it good . that warrant it a 7 in my book .
