garybutler-65403 If youre looking for a laugh out loud comedy, thats like a mad max movie, this isnt your movie. Tank Girl is a fun, silly movie thats witty, and has a lot to offer. From the quirky characters to the transition from live action to comic strips, it's unlike any other movie i've seen. Tank girl is just a fun, enjoyable movie, the story isn't the best there is, but the characters make up for it.

BA_Harrison In Rebecca Buck (aka Tank Girl), as played by Lori Petty, we have what is probably the single most irritating live-action comic-book character ever to make it to the silver screen. The intention was clearly to make Rebecca a lovable, quirky, anarchic, spunky, funny, sexy, alternative anti-heroine with attitude, someone with whom everyone, regardless of their sex, could fall for. Petty's grating grrl-power performance ensures that the opposite rings true: she is shrill, obnoxious and tiresome in the extreme.Unfortunately, Petty's painful performance isn't the only problem with Tank Girl. Director Rachel Talalay's attempts at capturing the rebellious spirit of the comic fall flat on their face. With seemingly no understanding of what does and does not work, Talalay chucks everything onto the screen no matter how cringe-worthy, including what could qualify as the most awkward song and dance number in the history of cinema. Meanwhile, Malcolm MacDowell and Ice-T chalk up another bomb on their respective filmographies and make-up legend Stan Winston tries but fails to make human kangaroos not look as stupid as they sound.A cool alternative soundtrack adds some much needed oomph to proceedings, there are some surprisingly slick scenes of animation (that suggest that the whole thing would have worked far better as a feature length animated movie) and Naomi Watts is likable as Rebecca's nerdy side-kick Jet Girl (the actress looking great with dark hair), but it's nowhere near enough to prevent this film from being a tedious, virtually unwatchable mess.

sherwoodhuff Lame. Contrived. Pretentious. Awful. One thing (among many) destroy this film. The lead is one of the most unlikable, terrible actors I have ever seen. She fails miserably over and over.There are a million other things to say, but I will stick with this. Naomi Watts = Excellent actress. Malcolm McDowell = nothing more needs to be said other than his talent was wasted.Oh, I see. IMDb wants me to write more lines. THIS MOVIE SUCKED! There is one more. WORST LEAD ACTRESS OVER! Another one. MOST IRRITATING LEAD OF ALL TIME! One more. DO NOT BOTHER TO WATCH THIS INANE ATTEMPT AT KITSCH! And finally. actually watch this trash and judge for yourself how horrible it is, than watch something decent, and have some popcorn.Uh, thank you, thank you very much.

jaywensley2004 I hadn't seen "Tank Girl" since its theatrical release, then it showed up on Netflix and gave me a chance to remember what a fun ride it is.The movie isn't and doesn't try to be a great film. Instead it is as campy as a great Thrift Store, and reminds me that for almost a decade it stood in my mind as the most comic-book like movie actually derived from a comic book.There's also a great soundtrack, wonderful animated sequences from the comic and most importantly Lori Petty giving every actor ever a lesson in owning a role.Lori Petty is the best of many reasons to see "Tank Girl." She is a delight as the brazen, brassy, ballsy and bratty heroine who accomplishes the anarchist's wet dream of taking down the power. That voice, that grin, that swagger; Lori Petty/Becky (aka: Tank Girl) is enjoying a good-time death wish. I could watch and listen to Lori Petty pi$$ off Malcolm McDowell all day.As a special treat, keep your eyes on the t-shirts. Among the many costume changes Ms. Petty sports is a....oh, that might constitute a spoiler.
