... View MoreI really enjoyed this movie. Is it the best movie of the year? No, of course not, but it does have an added happy ending that no other telling of the story has yet had. It left me feeling joyful and peaceful, and I would definitely recommend it if you need to lift your spirits.
... View MoreI saw this movie back when it came out and I really enjoyed it. I thought Lilly Collins did a great job. I also picked up on a parallel to Leda and the Swan, the story where Zeus falls in love with a mortal named Leda, and he turns into a swan and seduces her an they have ttwins. The little reference they included I thought was when Snow White dresses for the ball as a Swan and seduces the other prince. JUst thought that was interesting.
... View MoreI have just one question? What was that with the ending? How did it all of a sudden turn into a musical/Bollywood film? The real-life lesson: not much to reflect on here, with the exception maybe that karma will get you and that evil can not dominate forever. Quite general this, and not shown properly. Plausibility: I don't even want to go into plausibility since this is supposed to be a fairy tale so I am not going to discuss the implausibility of obvious factors such as magic for that reason. But, I will however discuss the plausibility of falling in love with someone you see only once and twice liken the prince did with the princess. What the prince felt was not love as he says (well at least in real life) it was just a crush, he was feeling attracted to the princess because she found her beautiful and attractive. It is true in my opinion that you can become obsessed with a person that you have a crush on or think is attractive but calling it love as the prince did is just a deception. Not just the prince, real-life people too do believe that they are in love in this situations but as I said being in love takes far more. Acting: great acting from the leads. Julia Roberts was so great it made you like the villain. Lily Collins was surprisingly good too and so was Armie Hammer. Plot and storyline: The story line begins great with a plot making you question was is going to happen next but this only lasts until the middle of the movie since after that the plot falls flat and the ending can be guessed and expected. Overall, I would recommend it, it makes you laugh and is quite enjoyable.
... View MoreBetween animated versions, live action version, takeoffs, homages, television show, etc. of the classic Grim fairy tale it is entirely possible you've seen this version before and have just lost track. An A-list celebrity stars as the protagonist despite being the bad guy but this isn't "Maleficient". That is a separate movie, the difference being that movie involves a re-contextualization so that we see things from the antagonist's perspective although that movie isn't "Wicked". That was musical based on "The Wizard of Oz" presumably the original not the remake with James DiFranco. Basically, Hollywood is so out of ideas that it's becoming difficult to keep track and maybe you should just watch it even though you may or may not have already seen it. See enough current titles and you've seen every plot ever used in the last 10 years anyway. In short, entertaining if a whole lot derivative.
