Review of Into the Woods (2014) by Slappycider — 08 Jan 2015
I... was not aware that this film was a musical until I had already agreed on going to see it. I will say, I'm not fond of musicals so this review may be a bit biased... but man, I did not like this film at all. Meryl Streep was phenomenal, but everyone else was just... bland. Little Red and Jack were both obnoxious as hell, the princes were over the top and just lame, and Johnny Depp had less than 4 minutes of screen time...
Also, the film should have ended about half way through its actual runtime... but nope, it KEPT GOING. The third act of this film was one of the most boring third acts of any film I've ever seen. It added nothing to the film that couldn't have been shown in a 5 minute scene rather than a whole 45 minutes.
Overall, Meryl Streep is phenomenal. That's it.
