Into The Woods (a movie review)

INTO THE WOODS
-
A movie critique/review

Resume: A witch tasks a childless baker and his wife with procuring magical items from classic fairy tales to reverse the curse put on their family tree.

Rating: 9/10

Into The Woods is a magnificently executed transition from the Broadway stage to the big screen. In corporating the characters from Rapunzel, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood and Jack and the Bean Stock, the web of intertwining stories create a wonderful experience for people of all ages. The actors chosen to portray these characters were picked out very well, although it is a bit jarring and funny to see Emily Blunt go from Live. Die. Repeat. to this.

I rather enjoyed all the songs and I "Agony" sung by the princes got the whole theater laughing for a good while. The actors' singing is on point, with maybe the exception of The Baker, who can get a bit shaky a "whispery", at times.

The "after the happily-ever-after" (you'll understand when you watch it) part of the movie is good, although I did find myself checking the time once or twice, which is primarily why I'm not giving it a 10/10.

In the end, as you go in expecting a musical, you'll definitely enjoy yourself.

I'm gonna be seeing both The Theory of Everything as well as The Imitation Game next week, so I'll post of the review of those when j get the time.

Have a nice day, guys.
