Six of us went ranging in age from 8 to 60 the 8 year old kinda enjoyed the singing. The rest of us were extremely bored and disapointed there is nothing even the previews that let you know this is a full out musical. We assumed with Johnny Depp, who was just ok and died way too soon in the show and Meryl Streep who was the best in the show, that the show would be at least be entertaining, it was not. Two and a half hours and I felt like we were watching a very amateur local theatre. This is the first time where everyone agreed the show was not worth seeing.
I usually love Disney movies, but this was awful, the singing , the rhyming it had no redeeming qualities. My 11 year old daughter didn't enjoy it either.
Well that was interesting...was this a comedy???? Quite the one liners and the duo princes singing...omg lmfao wow if you like musicals this is a good movie lol if you don't then don't go....several people left at the beginning and throughout the movie....the story line was good...the characters were good ...well some..Merle was awesome!!!!...but they lingered on at the end....which was really hard to sit through!!!!!
Absolutely brilliant musical!
Disappointment.. Didn't know it was going to be a musical. Found the trailer to be misleading.
Stephen Sondheim is a musical genius. This movie is based off a broadway production and grimms fairy tales. Anyone who is educated in the world of theatre, know this is a musical. Research your movies guys, seriously..
Worst movie I ever seen. Very disappointed
This will go down in history as the absolute worst musical ever.I can't believe I payed money to see such a terrible movie.You know its bad when a bunch of teen girls get up get up at the end and say ..."what a crap movie,I am going to ask for my money back" really ...it was bad.One bright light of course is Meryl Treep
pure garbage ! waste of time and money...no plot whatsoever...expected so much more.
The trailer is deceiving, it's a full on scale musically operetta. If you like musicals especially operetta's, it's a must see, as 90% of the dialogue is sung. The talent is truly stellar, a lot of hidden talent that I was previously unaware of Emily Blunt and Chris Pine can sing their butts off:) The fairytale aspect is more Grim's fairytales then Disney...loved it. Steven Sondheim is a musical genius.
