It took me ages to get round to finally watching this film, i had heard so much about it, and for some reason, never showed any interest.
However, after having purchased it for £5.99 from play.com, i thought i would check out what all the hype was about...
The cast are as follows;
Tank Girl - Lori Petty Jet Girl - Naomi Watts Kesslee - Malcolm McDowell T-Saint - Ice-T
The story is set in the year 2033 - and a huge meteor has hit earth, and since this occured - the world has never been the same again....things we usually take for granted are gone - theres even no water!!! bit silly cos we need it to live, but nevermind...However, Kesslee, the villian in the story who is the leader of the water and power holds the world in his grasp, since he has control of everything! Or atleast, this is what he reckons! 2 enemies stand in his way - The Rippers, who are half men and half kangaroo (wierd i know), whose job it is to bring down the water and Power company. Aswell as them, theres the feisty tomboy Tank Girl.
She sets off to destroy kesslee aswell as rescue one of her minions, but she gets caught - and gives nothing but attitude to her captures. Along her journey she teams up with a black haired Naomi Watts playing Jet girl, the 2 then team up with the Rippers, kesslee's other rival! and they set out to take over the world!....
The film has a few nice images taken from Tank Girl's original cartoon creator, aswell as ovr the top crazy visuals and action sequences! the soundtrack is pretty hip too!
The DVD Extras include;
Original Theatrical Trailer
Interactive Menu Screens and chapter Selections
The Rating is - 15 Duration - 1hr 39mins

Personally it's an 'OK' film, i still don't quite understand the full hype about it, however, it is an easy film to watch. just do't be expecting too much when you settle down to watch it, this way it will avoid disapointment!

Detailed, but distinctly lacking in an opinion - I'm unable to judge whether this would be a worthy investment of my time or money as it stands. Alboy

This sounds a bit too silly for my liking so I definitely won't be watching it. To make this review a little better I would suggest adding more about the character performances and how they compared to other films that they may have starred in as well as telling us a tiny bit more of your own personal opinion.
