REVIEW:
If there are two things that have defined Disney ever since the company's inception, those things would be their adaptations of fairy tales and their musicals. In that regard, it seems unquestionable that they, along with "Chicago" director Rob Marshall, would adapt Stephen Sondheim's "Into The Woods" to the big screen. The film boasts a huge cast, including the likes of Meryl Streep and Johnny Depp, playing many notable characters from beloved fairy tales. However I wouldn't let the Disney name fool you into thinking this was a light-hearted musical romp, if I were you. This is a darker telling of these classic tales than one may expect, pretty much straying more towards the original Grimm Brothers stories rather than the iconic musical romps. In this 2 hour musical, we get great performances from the cast, catchy and memorable songs, and some surprises along the way. Needless to say, I has a lot of fun with this movie, and as a fan of musicals, I can't wait to catch this one again.

Hello viewers of this blog,
Due to recent comments of spam and profanity present from obnoxious kids who think they are the funniest people in the world, I would like to request that the comments posted here are in good taste, meaning that they have no Anti-Semitic remarks, profanity, sexual innuendo, or any insults to myself. You can criticize the review and give pointers on how to make them better, but how about we be adults about this. Ok? Thank you, and have a nice day.
