Maybe the emotions of the story might land more in the movie, as it gives things more time to breathe. But it's hard for me to say without having seen the Broadway show. I thought Gladiator 2 was an okay 7/10 movie. The story was mediocre, but the spectacle and the action sequences were very...

I don't think Moana 2 will be a disaster like Strange World, I'm just expecting it to be a step down or two from the original — similar to how Frozen was a 9/10 movie and Frozen II was a 6 or 7/10. I will happily admit I'm wrong if the movie turns out to be amazing. There have been numerous...

Being familiar with the cast recording (which I purchased about a decade ago), I think "No Good Deed," "As Long as You're Mine," and "For Good" are all in the top five songs. I personally never loved Popular. Like, it's fine, but I always prefer more dramatic songs to comedic ones. For that...

I had the exact same thought! Now, personally, I didn't think Wish or Napolean were outright terrible, but they weren't strong enough for me to give them a recommendation. I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised by Moana 2, but I'm not optimistic. It's origins as a Disney Plus show and the...

I've heard Act 2 isn't as good as the first Act on Broadway. Do you think that could be remedied for the film adaptation? One of the common complaints I heard was that the second act was rushed. Also, there will apparently be two new songs created just for the film in Part 2 — a new song for...

I feel that all of the Disney Princesses (with the exception of Ariel and Merida who very much like teenagers), tend to look and act about 5 years older than their canonical ages. The impression I got from Snow White wasn't so much that she was young, but just incredibly sheltered/naive about...

She's never actually referred to as 14 in the film itself. I don't know when that number was arbitrarily and retroactively added to the Snow White lore. It makes more sense for her to be late teens or early 20s.

Gal Gadot is actually my least favorite part of the movie so far. She was good in the first Wonder Woman, but in everything else I have seen her in, she lacks range. I also think she lacks the sinister edge needed for this role. Someone like Lady Gaga, who can have more of an intimidating...

Wicked was AMAZING! Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande were fantastic. I was familiar with the songs and the overall story but had never actually seen the Broadway play. I was surprised at how much it emotionally moved me. I cried multiple times! Also, for a 160 minute movie, it was incredibly...

Welp, it looks like my previous post on page 183 (that was totally intended as a joke) turned out to be at least half accurate as the trailer shows a battle scene, Snow White as an action heroine and a subplot about the political landscape of the kingdom and common people feel.

The worst was my first viewing of Avatar the Way of Water, which was more than 3 hours long. I didn't find the film boring, but I had to pee and the constant splish splashing of the water in the movie was NOT helping things! Fortunately I was able to leave during a non crucial scene (and I...

According to reports from the set and plot leaks from scoopers, they added a battle scene at the end where Snow White defeats the Evil Queen and saves the Prince. The battle sequence adds at least 20 minutes to the runtime, and includes a fake-out death scene for Dopey. According to early...

THe only time I ever missed something crucial was back when my family saw the Chronicles of Narnia in 2005. I had to use the restroom and ended up missing Aslan's ressurection scene. Fortunately I had read the book beforehand, but still, it was kind of a pivotal moment. Still I don't think...

I mean, I generally don't have a problem with quickly leaving to pee if needed. I generally feel I'm getting more bang for my buck if the movie is longer. I also feel a long runtime is only a problem if the pacing is bad.

In defense of Cats, which is an awful movie, I will give the movie credit for trying something unique with its aesthetic and approach. It didn't work out at all, but I at least felt somewhat of an effort was made. For that reason alone, I think it's superior to the other 2019-cat related...

Oh I agree. I enjoyed seeing Oppenheimer and Killers of the Flower Moon in theaters last year, but I would have really appreciated an intermission midway through at some point. I saw a screening of the extended versions of the Lord of the Rings in theaters as well. I thought there would be an...

In theory the 2.5 hour runtime might seem like a deterrent yet almost all of the highest grossing movies of all time — both Avatars, Titanic, Avengers Endgame — are more than 3 hours long. This isn't just a recent trend. If you adjust for inflation and look at the 10 highest grossing movies of...

Maybe the imagineers of Tiana's Bayou Adventure disliked Facilier, but he's still being actively promoted by the company. During the month of October, numerous official Disney Facebook and Instagram videos were made highlighting Disney villains, with several of them prominently featuring Dr...

I find it more amusing than off-putting, but celebrity drama almost never impacts how I feel about a movie. When I watched Don't Worry Darling back in 2022 I definitely wasn't thinking of all the fighting among the cast.

Okay, that's legitimately hilarious. 🤣 Wonder if we will see Zegler and Gadot throwing shade at each other on the press tour.
