Teddy B @RT90521672 3 days ago For Marshall bringing the fun and the campiness and the high energy of 'Chicago' to the silver screen respectfully, why couldn't he do the same here? This film is just a headache. Murky, sad, pointless, humourless, uninventive, corporate, meandering, boring, terribly mild and inoffensive. Just a complete waste of creative talent, and a wonderful musical gone to the dogs. See more Frans B @FransB Sep 30, 2026 Brilliant. Rob Marshall did good directing this movie, amazing that he could manage to tone it down a notch from the original play and book, but still retain the ambiance, perhaps even more so ... (for everyone unfamiliar, the movie adaptation softens the dark, subversive tone and cuts significant musical numbers from Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s original 1987 Broadway Into the Woods stage musical - also, the movie tones down the cynical deconstruction of fairy tales and community-destroying consequences found in Act II of the stage play.) I prefer the movie, it still retains some of the "adult" content, but not in the blatant (sometimes nearly banal) intention of the play. Whole stellar cast absolutely shines in character. Entertaining and captivating See more Abram H @RT50098228 Sep 18, 2026 I hate this movie so much it gave me a timer in my brain it gave me adies and made me cringe so hard I ruptured a blood vessel If I could I would eliminate the creature of this movie.

I found the movie great, was is as accurate and dark as the original,no. With these stories,Disney makes it lighter so it can be watched as a family without kids getting scared and getting nightmares. It happens a lot with original fairy tails or musicals becoming lighter in movies or shows. For people saying it’s slow that’s how it is with some of these movies, some are more action and some are more interesting and slow, it all depends on what you like. Still it doesn’t stop from being a great watch, I’d recommend. See more diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 12, 2026 A muddled, rhythm-less musical that squanders a stellar cast on a confusing fairy-tale script. Disney stripped away all the edge of the original work, delivering a drab film with repetitive songs and a sluggish second half that quickly becomes tiresome and fails to enchant. See more Cynthia K @RT19427037 Jun 25, 2026 Ummm. I watched this while I was home sick in bed and even then I felt like I wasted 2 hours of my life. I kept hoping the plot would come together and make some sense, but this was a poorly written operatic calamity. This could have been amazing, but it was just a nightmare. See more Read all reviews
