If you're into Disney musicals where the characters sing along to lyrics that don't rhyme, then this annoying piece of shit film is for you.

When I went to see this film on the day of it's release, at the conclusion quite a few audience members clapped. I can't get what I missed. Maybe just musicals have their own form of enchantment?

Quite a high body count for a Disney movie. And one of Cinderella's sisters mutilates her foot, just like in the old Grimm Brothers tale, so she can fit the slipper, which was unexpected.

One thing in the entire movie was awesome, and that was Chris Pine as the Handsome Prince, who is a slimy egotist. His song, "Agony", where he tears open his shirt so we can see his heart in pain, was hilariously self-absorbed.

Haven't seen it, nor the play it is based on, but supposedly some of the Sondheim fanboys and fangirls are bitching because the movie is too Disneyfied and not dark enough.

Way to fuck up UBBcode there, LLance.

It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness.

I actually kind of get what they're going on about.

One really weird thing about it: Johnny Depp plays the Big Bad Wolf, who basically comes across as a child molester. Ugh.

For an actor that supposedly has a wide range, it seems like Johnny Depp has been playing the same characters these days.

Depp is his generation's Nicholson. hit his late 40s and started playing basically the same weirdo in every film he did.

Yep. His new film has him as yet another weirdo.

That dumb sci fi he was in recently he played a kind of normal guy, but didn't quite get there on the normalcy.
