I normally enjoy musicals, but the songs in this one were far too long and came far too often. This slowed the plot to a crawl. And just as soon as some interesting dialouge got going, somebody would break into song and slow the plot down, yet again. A lot of the scences seemed totally unnecessary. If the movie was tightened up, it would have been far more enjoyable. Near the end I was actually hoping nobody else would break into song as I`d had enough. Jennifer H. was good, but her cathartic song mid-movie was waaaaaaaaay tooooooo looooooong. Postives were the costumes, wigs and makeup...very cool.
Well with so much hype, its easy for a movie to fail your expectation.... BUT THIS ONE DID NOT!! now I have probably seen every movie musical ever produced, and this one is at the top of my list. It is even better the second time, and cannot wait for the third and fouth times I see it! Jennifer Hudson, not enough can be sai about you....AMAZING!! everyone else was amazing as well, not one member brought the cast down.... WAY TO GO!!!!
WOULD RATE IT HALF A STAR BUT UNFORTUNATELY THAT`S NOT AN OPTION
Beyonce is so fabulous!!! Well packaged!! Jennifer Hudson has a lot of potential to be a star but she needs a makeover!Maybe that`s the reason why she did not get the title of "American Idol"! She needs a very good agent and a stylist and she will be a "STAR"!!!!
I just finished watching the movie and I was blown away. The entire cast did a superb job but there was one that clearly shined above all the rest: Jennifer Hudson. I loved her as a contestant on American Idol, but would never imagined that she could accomplish what she did in this role. I see many acclaims continuing to come her way including an Oscar. There aren`t many performances that will evoke applause twice from an audience watching a movie but Jennifer`s was certainly one.
Jennifer Hudson is an unbelievable talent and should be an Oscar contender. Her voice is so powerful she has a HUGE career ahead! Excellent movie!
So amazing! I was blown away! Everyone was soo amazing especially Jennifer Hudson; she sent chills down my spine. Defintely going get some Golden Globes AND Oscars. It was incredible! 5/5
I would of been really good if it weren`t for the one chick who basically screamed her lungs out for the entire movie. Everyone else was great, I enjoyed it, but by the end, I couldn`t stand the one girl. Everyone in the theatre cringed when she opened her mouth. Kinda wrecked the movie in a huge way.
Jennifer Hudson definitely stole the show ... Beyonce who?
great movie best I have seen this year
