Jem and the Holograms

I love the movie I think it’s amazing

It was nothing like the tv show. I loved the tv show when I was little and this was nothing like it. They completely changed the whole thing.

Grew up watching the cartoon was interested in the movie at first but that quickly went away. 😔

I realize the movie got low ratings from rotten tomatos, but what movie doesn’t? I have purchased only a few movies since streaming came out, but this is one of them and although some scenes are unrealistic and cheesy acting at times, its a fun, safe movie for the whole family, especially musical families with younger kids like mine. The storyline with Jericka’s dad is super touching, so get ready to shed a tear! It’s a must see in my opinion and I tell everybody looking for a movie to watch that they need to give it a try.

Amazing reliving my childhood 😍😍

I bought my kids the cartoon on eBay . This movie destroyed them

Even after 4 years of it being released, I still find myself sitting on the couch and enjoying this amazing movie. This movie may not be like the comics but I don’t think every movie based off of comics needs to be. This movie still makes you feel emotions, it makes you feel happy about yourself, and it makes you smile. I will love this movie forever. Now, where is my sequel?? :)

However, that doesn't make it a BAD movie(as many of the reviewers would lead you to believe). I was in my late teens when the cartoon originally aired, and despite not being it's target audience(I am a straight male) I found it quite enjoyable. Enjoyable to the point where I bought as many of the dolls as I could afford at the time, and used the original audio tapes packed with them to create my own "Jem Mix Tape". I loved the music, even if some of the episodes were a bit "campy"(for the record, I love campy things). I currently own both this movie on iTunes, and the original series on DVD. Okay, with that said, the movie isn't the steaming pile of crap many people will lead you to believe, just because it's "updated" and "reimagined". I should also state that I typically don't like "reboots", "re-imaginings", etc. In this case, I was pleasently surprised. I do have one sticking point where the movie differs from the source material... Rio should have been left as a "stand alone" character, and NOT related to Erica Raymond. That bit should have been kept as original. I don't even mind that Eric Raymond was changed to Erica. While it wasn't necessary to switch the gender, I'm fine with it. A minor critique relating to Rio is that he shouldn't have known Jerrica's double identity. That was actually a major point of "drama" in the cartoon... him NOT knowing. I was surprised that the music had a psuedo 80s vibe to it, as well. Current enough for todays youth to enjoy, but also had a kinda 80s feel to them. It's a bit of a shame that this movie was received as poorly as it was, since there was a set-up for a sequel that likely will never happen. If they DO decide to go ahead with a sequel, I only hope that Stormer is recast. She didn't seem anything like her cartoon counterpart. Also, there was no reference to Jackie Benton, Jerrica and Kimber's mother. Fans of the cartoon will remember that she was the source of the sister's musical talent. If you're a fan of the cartoon, give this movie more than just one watch. Realize that there WILL be a lot of references and callbacks to the cartoon, and there will also be some big differences. Upon watching it a few more times, I was able to move passed the differences(though the one I plot varience I mentioned above is the only part of the movie I don't like) and see the movie for what it is: A fairly well done adaption from 1985 to 2015. Also, there is a cameo from the original Jem/Jerrica voice actor, Samantha Newark(hint: She's the hair stylist who tells Jerrica that pink is her favorite colour).

What a disrespect to Jem and the Holograms. This movie was pure garbage.

Nope it successfully sucked
