Editorial Review:

In Tank Girl, director Rachel Talalay's aggressively hip adaptation of the cult comic book, it is 2033 and the earth has been clobbered by a comet; civilization has been destroyed, and it hasn't rained in 11 years. Nearly all the water on the planet is controlled by the evil Water and Power Company, which is in turn controlled by the even more evil Kesslee (Malcolm McDowell). Who stands in the way? Mysterious mutants called the Rippers and, of course, Tank Girl. Lori Petty plays the eponymous, wisecracking, defiant heart of the movie as kind of an inner child gone wild. Unfortunately Petty can't quite carry a movie on her own--her zingers frequently fall flat and she seems to be continually worried that we still like her. Luckily there's Naomi Watts as Jet Girl to save the day: smart, shy and inherently way more appealing than Tank Girl. For all it lacks, Tank Girl is visually an eye-popper, worth watching for the insane set and costume designs alone. --Ali Davis, Amazon.com

  I could give you a very long, rambling list of reasons why you should watch this. Equally somebody who hasn't enjoyed it can give you a list of reasons why you shouldn't watch it.
  Basically it comes down to being a slightly bizzare flick with an odd plot and some great lines. Watch it and make up your own mind.
  (Oh and the O.G gangster Ice-T as a mutant Kangaroo has gotta do something for you!)

• so girls just want to have fun?
  My best friend brought this movie to my attention as she felt that the lead character kicked ass (in the local venacular). The comic element and comedic elements too remind one of Barbarella to some extent but only in a limited way. This movie is about girl power and the ability of a girl to make her own way in a man's world. She has all of the armaments that one would expect of a girl but she has no qualms about borrowing a few from men either.

  I think that the whole point is just to bring the whole... more info

• Interesting idea but a little silly in places
  This is a film based on a girl's (OK, "young adult women's") action comic which I've never read myself. The setting is 2033. A comet crashed into Earth 8 years ago and now the world is desert. All the water that isn't in the seas is only available underground. Most of the land is owned by the Water and Power company that virtually has a monopoly on water distribution -- their army enforces what little law remains.

  Rebecca is a young woman who is both a survivor and is bored. She is captured by the Water... more info
