There are two types of people in this world: those who get The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and those who don't. I get it, and I love it. First time I ever saw it was on TV, and I was totally terrified. But I loved the music enough to watch it again - it wasn't until I was an avid fan of the movie that I went to a midnight showing, which is probably the most fun anyone can have with any movie. It's hard to explain Rocky Horror's appeal, because most of us who love it could never say why. We just do. For me, I think it's mostly the music. Richard O'Brien's songs are all great ("Science Fiction" being a personal favorite.)
People who criticize this film to no end are obviously just afraid of it. They're generally just too uptight to let loose and yell at a screen at midnight. No, it's not a great artistic achievement and it wasn't meant to be. It's meant to be what it is - a fun show with some great songs. If you get it, great I'll see you there - if you don't, oh well, your loss.
