ThiefHott Too much of everything
HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
mjr492 Me and my friend got dragged to see this movie. I thought it would be pretty good and there was nothing else playing I want to see, so sure. After it was over, I thought to myself, did a really waste two hours of my life watching this move and I'd also realize I would never get those two hours back. During the movie, I was hoping it would get to the ending to end. It was all bad; the story, the characters, and nothing like the fairly tales we know and none of them lived "happily ever after". The only good part of this movie was Johnny Depp's role as the Wolf and he was only around a short time too. Take me word on this and don't watch this movie!
Leofwine_draca I'd previously watched and love another adaptation of a Stephen Sondheim musical, SWEENEY TODD, so I had high hopes for this fairy tale-based follow-up. Sadly, INTO THE WOODS is a hopeless effort that stalls more often than it succeeds, and much of the failure lies in the poor choice of casting. When two of the leads in your movie are Emily Blunt and James Corden you know you're in trouble, as both are average singers at best and Corden remains an intensely irritating screen presence. Meryl Streep headlines the cast as a goofy witch but seems to be channeling her MAMMA MIA! role a bit too much. The rest of the film strives to mix up elements of various fairy stories including Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood and Rapunzel, but the effect is slapdash and the story all over the place. Anna Kendrick is bland and her singing voice irritating, although not as much as the brash kid playing Red Riding Hood. Some of the CGI is okay but overall this is a huge missed opportunity for me.
joshjkeys I am one of those who saw the theatre version after the movie. I think this is where the hate for the movie comes because the theatre version is amazing and the movie seem like about 70% of the glory of this.Also the movie suggest some of the worst moral guidance to children. as well as some thing that seemed very perverted.However the movie is Good and a musical masterpiece.if you did not watch the theatre version before you will enjoy the movie very much. but if you have seen it before then it is a worse experience
conjamcar 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.
