Rent(2005)- User Reviews

Wretched, horrible, pathetic

star11

Who needs poison gas? Who needs nuclear weapons? Who needs capital punishment? Who needs physical torture?

No-one, if you have Rent.

Rent is without peer in its awfulness: Bad acting. Bad singing. Bad songs. Bad script. Bad photography. Bad editing. Bad direction.

Can you imagine a musical about AIDS, poverty, and death? A MUSICAL? Whose idea was this? It’s the worst idea for a show since Springtime for Hitler.

The ‘characters’ are — one and all — wretched, without any redeeming qualities. Drug users, ne’er-do-wells, unprincipled louts, and cowards.

The most excruciatingly awful punishment I can think of is sitting through two hours and 14 minutes of Rent.

The Geneva convention should ban it.

Horrible. Irredeemably awful.
