Heavy Metal Ratings & Reviews

  • Kevin WardJuly 6, 2025
    Not really my thing, but I can appreciate that 12 y/o me probably would have loved this when I was growing up, especially in a pre-internet household. Some of the animation is definitely impressive for its time, but I just didn’t really vibe with the majority of these vignettes save for a few moments. It was definitely surprisingly to hear John Candy here, among a couple other recognizable voices.
