Metal Hurlant (English Language title: Heavy Metal) was great in comic form, but I fear it doesn't take to the screen so well. All the twist endings are so obvious - It Was Earth! It's Hitler As A Boy! The Humans Were The Evil Aliens All Along! That I'm not sure I can even give a spoiler warning. Oh, go on then. There are a couple of gems, like the space heroes who end up knocking each other off over oxygen and the knights who have to fight to be king of a post-technological feudal dystopia - but generally it's rubbish. The main thing the comics had going for them was the art, without the art it's a little... sad.
It does have a lot of style though, and retains the titillating hot nearly naked people of the original, which makes it a bit better, but not much. Avoid unless you are a fan. (I'm a fan)
