Review of Barracuda (2017) by Nilsy — 28 Jan 2017
During more then half of the musical parts I was checking the clock and wondering if it was worth it to finish the movie even. Nothing wrong with the instrumental music its the songs that I dislike, which is a shame as visually it was stunning throwback towards the golden age of hollywood musicals.
The songs emma and ryan are forced into trying to sing are demanding stuff that a skilled singer could really make something out of sadly that was not to be. If these actors had tried to audition for american idol neither ryan or emma would stand a chance of getting in.
Yet somehow nobody cares they are lead in a hollywood musical they are still praised to high heavens for la la land its beyond me why all the critics set the bar so incredible low for hollywood actors singing.
Maybe modern critics simply arnt used to judging singers and think average is good enough its afterall a movie and not a album.
