Best movie of this year hands down!
Crappy film
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Oyoyoye, this reminded me of song mashups. With the singing, it was horrible. I felt an aversion right at the beginning. Too bad because the production seems top quality otherwise.
I didn't know how many times I've tried to watch this movie since I found out it was played on HBO. I fell asleep so many times and this could the sign of a kinda boring movie. I also just found out, when I finally finished the movie, that it was directed by Rob Marshall, the one whose some of his movies are on my favorite movies list: Memoirs of a Geisha and Chicago. The songs, although not quite entertaining as in Chicago, have beautiful lyrics. Sometimes I think they are out of tune? (Is that a correct term?) Since my listening in English is not so great, I found it a bit hard to follow. They sang too fast sometimes.Emily Blunt and Meryl Streep are my favorite casts here. They both funny, also the twins and the stepmother. I tried to like Anna Kendrick but I still couldn't find her attractive. The story itself is average.
This movie is a musical which reworks the plots of several fairy tails and weaves them into one plot. The original unrealistic sugar sweet plot of each fairy tail is slightly amended to reflect the realities of life. This yields a heart achingly beautiful movie about the human condition. The music is somewhat modern, but nonetheless accessible and at times moving. The acting is very good. I love this movie!
This movie is not good. It's all over the place, and hard to concentrate on what's going on. Zero tempo. Also, they really worked hard to make it darker then it had to be. They could have cut out a third of the scenes, and the movie would have been a little better. A mess.
