Looks godawful.

Yet another example of Hollywood finding a public domain property, deciding it's pre-sold, and tarting it up with pretty faces and CGI.

Why

[–] Otter (24464) 6 years ago

Money, that's why!

Hollywood is a business, you know.

[–] Otter (24464) 6 years ago

Sometimes, they at least pretend that their moneymaking scenes have some artistic merit.

For all we know it'll wind up better than half the 'award contenders' next spring.

[–] Otter (24464) 6 years ago

I will admit that that's possible, I just won't say it's probable.

It looks disgusting.

Our family actually LOVED it! We're going to see it again this weekend!

I liked it too. Maybe it helps that I'm not very familiar with the original story because the changes upset some.

That was some of the problem, I think. Many people expected the ballet and this was a story inspired by the ballet, but not the ballet. My wife and I really liked it.

I liked it as well. I don't understand the negative comments. It is better than many blockbusters that are released and scored higher nowadays.

It is.

[–] HarlemEagle42 (17860) 6 years ago

It is but it's short. Like 90 minutes.

It wasn't very good, sadly. Not awful, just...ok. My DH and I agreed it just missed that magic "something" that often makes Disney movies so wonderful. It lacked heart, really, and although pretty to look at, you just didn't really care about any of the characters. I found myself intrigued by the mother and father, and would have actually liked to see more of them instead of the daughter. Mackenzie Foy is lovely, and a wonderful actress, but just doesn't have the screen stealing abilities of Lee Pace or Helen Mirren yet.
