Review of Into the Woods (2014) by Adammwilson — 20 Jan 2015
This movie was a massive disappointment. I went with three other people and none of us liked it. The songs were okay. None were particularly memorable except for the humorous song with the princes. It was way too long of a movie.
The last half hour of the movie was terrible (after the wedding). It consisted of things happening with no reason or explanation, no emotion shown by any of the characters, a BS line of morality drawn by multiple characters about how decisions don't matter and there is no wrong or right.
That is a dangerous message to send to kids in my humble opinion. I am fine with no happy ending but this movie creates an unhappy reason simply just to say it did and that happy endings don't exist. Meanwhile, the acting was stale and boring.
James Marsden was the closest to a decent character. The rest simply lacked a soul. I have no clue how this movie has so many positive reviews. A brilliant musical is Les Mis, this on the other hand was forgettable drivel.
