Review of Into the Woods (2014) by Justlegos — 26 Dec 2014
First of all, I would recommend this movie only if you enjoy musicals, charm, and sudden mood swings. If you can accept that, I'd strongly suggest seeing this movie. The film opens up with a catchy, bright performance of "Into the Woods.".
However, the film, just like the musical, begins to fail with the second act. Characters clash with their personalities, betray their beliefs, and die. The second act moves slow and feels like a whole different film. Just like the musical, it ended with me wanting more resolution.
The final song is incredible, with me near tears. I loved Anna Kendrick, Emily Blunt, and Meryl Streep's performances... and the song "Agony" is a great laugh.
If you consider yourself a musical fan, or a music geek in general, I'd definitely recommend this film. If you aren't, I can recommend this film, but be weary as it may not suit your tastes.
