Into the Woods Review


Into the Woods (2014) Poster

Hey Guys!

So if you didn't know, I'm a huge fan of musicals so Into the Woods was definitely my kind of movie. I heard about the movie a year ago, while looking through the upcoming section of Rotten Tomatoes, and I knew I was definitely looking forward to seeing it. I haven't seen the Broadway Musical but I will definitely make sure I do after this. 

I quite enjoyed the way all of these fairy tales came together to form such a humorous, dark and melody filled movie. 

The actors were spectacular especially Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt. Meryl Streep's voice was so powerful in 'The Last Midnight' and Emily Blunt was just downright hilarious. 

'agony" was my favorite scene, who can resist the sight of Chris Pine and Bill Magnussen ripping their shirts open while singing 'AGOONNNNYYY" . Definitely not me.



Anna Kendrick was an exceptional Cinderella and I quite enjoyed her ' On The Steps of the Palace" song.
I knew Johnny Depp had a small part but I didn't realize how small it was. He was only there for one song, which was good.

I saw the movie with my family member's and they were upset that the movie didn't end at the first half. I , on the other hand, was glad that I got to watch the whole musical. Yes it was long, but it doesn't matter if it was six hours, as long as I am entertained.

I was disappointed that the Baker's Wife died but it definitely added to the message of the story.
My mother found Red Riding Hood, annoying but I thought she was great, her voice was beautiful and her character had a certain cuteness  and innocence to it. I found Jack, a bit annoying at some times though.

Overall, I enjoyed the film adaptation of Into the Woods very much and I would recommend it to everyone who shares my love of musicals. Because I haven't scene the original Broadway show, I'm unable to comment on the contrast between them.

Anyways, I have school tomorrow (AGONNNY!) so I've got to work on all the projects I've been procrastinating on. See Ya!
