Review of Into the Woods (2014) by Stevesitz — 14 Jan 2015
For anyone that has not seen or know anything about the musical, just know that this movie gets quite depressing! Disney really did capture the musical as it was right from the stage, which is good but also leaves you wanting more out of a film adaptation.
The fact that there are very few spoken lines in this entire movie (since everything is literally sang from beginning to end) it does leave a bad taste in the mouth of anyone that isn't a hard-core musical fan.
The blending of the stories was great, the acting was amazing but the music does start to pain your ears after a while. I would only recommend this movie to older Disney fans or (of course) fans of the on stage version, because that is exactly what you are getting.
