RealLiveClaude Though the members of the group despised being in this movie (produced by the same guys who did Yogi Bear, The Flintstones...and Scooby Doo !), forget the cheesiness, the some-what bad dialogue, this is a comic book movie here. And a way to see the band KISS in its heyday as a truly original rock band, complete with masks and apparel. And yes, even Gene throws its tongue out ! Shout it out loud, don't take this movie seriously. Light entertainment and rock music. This wasn't meant to be a masterpiece and this is a movie worth the curiosity. Watch it for KISS.'Nuff said !

grindleguts 'KISS meets the Phantom of the Park' is little more than a kids movie that once was part of advertising the band to an even wider audience. At the time the rock legends were quite few in including pyrotechnics, mask painting in their shows so whoever came up with the idea of a movie probably relied a bit too much on their stage appearance to make a worthwhile film.The biggest problem with watching this movie present day are all the clichés and utter silliness this movie packs. Due to the nature of being a Hanna-Barbera production there are simplified relations, overstatements, put-in-place language and just a lack of continuity that kids movies often can get away with. If you're a fan of the band it's probably something you'd want to watch once in your lifetime, and perhaps for fans of bad movies (yes, they do exist). For anyone looking at a decent movie featuring KISS, it will do little to nothing for you.

tusken_2004-1 I have been a KISS fan since I was a little tyke, and back when this stinkburger came out on TV, I had to watch it. I only now realize that the world of music-related films must be pock-marked with bomb craters (no pun intended)left in the wake of such cinema gold as this poor excuse to sell cheaply-made action figures by MEGO. I mean, even Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978) makes sense compared to this.It was a cartoon. A live-action cartoon. Joseph Barbera must have felt horrible after unleashing this poor excuse for a film on an unwitting public.But yet, as with so many other films that are real cheese-fests, I can't help but sit mesmerized by the events on screen. I'm not following the apparent lack of plot, nor am I really caring about the equally detestable special defects, I guess it's that I just go into Zombie mode with this film. If Dr. Forrester of MST3k really wanted to rule the world so bad, he would have used THIS film to turn Joel & the 'bots into so much mental cabbage.I am still a fan of KISS, however. This film failed to change that. All the same, I am NOT a fan of the people responsible for convincing Gene, Paul, Ace, and Peter that a TV movie of the week would be a great idea for publicity.I think that any film aficionado worth his/her salt owes it to themselves to see this film once. after that, appropriate dosage should be determined by your physician.

Ditchythered This is such a terrible movie that i can't help but love it. It's so pointless! The plot is terrible, it looks like it was shot on a broken VHS camera by someone with a blindfold on. The acting really couldn't be any worse but the music is good apart from when the evil Kiss robots do a show. Can anyone tell me why Beth is in there, yeah it's a good song but it's not set-up, no-one comments on it and everyone is just posing... absurdly. The thing i love the most though is how Gene strides around in his platforms, he looks like he's been riding a horse for too long! It's such fun it has to be watched and absolutely essential if your in danger of taking Kiss too seriously...These are the reasons why i hate this film and the reasons why i love it. Don't ask me how that works i'm as confused as you.
