for, but this is the only one that was ever completed...NOT because it was "horrible" "awful", or whatever, but because it was such a daunting task! I thought that this movie was a wonderful work of art that addresses a lot of life issues after all, Sondheim is also a noted psychologist . Others were upset that it was a musical. Oh, boo-hoo. People are singing their lines. How un-Disney-like.Okay, I will agree with one point: It is NOT your typical Disney fairy tale. Nope. Not at all. Instead, it's more true to the original Brothers Grimm stories...let me repeat that...true to the original Brothers Grimm...if you don't know what I'm speaking of, if you think Snow White was about dancing dwarfs and tweeting birds, then you really need to visit a library.People are screaming up and down that this is most definitely NOT a family film. Um...hello? Do you even know what "PG" stands for? It means "Parental Guidance suggested"...this means that you, as a parent, should decide if it's right for your child to view. In other words, BE A PARENT! Sheesh...Okay, enough of that."Into the Woods" is a musical. If you don't like musicals, don't watch it."Into the Woods" is a blending of different fairy tales from their original DARK, FOREBODING, DISTURBING perspectives. If you want butterflies and songbirds and happily-ever-after, go watch the earlier Disney greats."Into the Woods" is dark. It's creepy. It's disturbing...and it's great. You just need to be in the proper frame of mind. I knew what I was getting into, and I loved it. If you're expecting "heigh-ho, heigh-ho, it's off to work we go", you aren't going to like it.This movie isn't for everyone, true enough, but for those of us who "get it", it's WONDERFUL!

can enjoy the story. 2. Fans of the original who are complaining about every little change. People, its an adaptation; certain things need to be changed when transitioning to a different medium of storytelling. And some of the small changes are actual improvements to the original. 3. Those who weren't expecting a musical. I don't get this one. If you don't like musicals, fine! But you can't rate it 1 star just because its a musical!If you are looking for a typical Disney movie, look away. But if you care about originality and want to witness familiar stories in a different light, this is it. It has Disney characters but uses them to deliver a more realistic and mature point of view about the world. The story as a whole has some really good messages, but people seem to be stuck up on the fact that it defied their expectations. As Into the Woods points out, your actions have real consequences and sometimes your wishes come true but not quite in the way you expected. Be ready for an unexpectedly twisted journey..."Into the woods- Each time you go, There's more to learn Of what you know."10 Stars!

their are no memorable songs in it are not listening to the deeper meaning of those lyrics. No One Is Alone. - You've lost your guide mother who meant everything in your world, but there are others out there in that World who are also guides. You just need to open your heart to them, and they will show you the way - put you on the right path.

lion king. Just because Disney is in connection with it doesn't mean it's something you bring your 3 year old to. They would get bored. It's more of an adult thing and has a good view fr each character. It does jump around to characters. But it's to try and connect their stories together

stories.But I am not just going to say something about the atmosphere the movie creates but how great the music itself was. There are several songs in Into The Woods that I left the Theater with on my mind.I guarantee when if you go see Into The Woods you'll leave the Theater satisfied.So go and see Into the Woods when it comes out in Theaters Christmas day!

struggling to come to grips with the idea that maybe they didn't want their wishes granted after all, the giant attacks and knocks them for a loop. Characters die, marriages fail and they see that maybe happily ever after isn't an idealistic fairy tale dream but instead it's the reality of their acceptance of and for themselves as they are. I gave it a nine because I loved the narrator and missed him in this version and as well as a few other changes. Overall it was wonderful and I can't wait until my children are old enough to enjoy it with me.

really well. The ending was pretty dark but satisfying. I feel sad for anyone who doesn't understand the movie. Just shows how dumb and mindless people can be.

Burton-esque "Alice through the Looking Glass" film you will be disappointed because that is NOT what this is despite what the trailer might suggest.8/10 but i understand that it is only enjoyable for a very specific audience and definitely not for kids or most teens! .

singing and dancing adds up to something more serious than what we expect from musicals and Disney movies.The movie's high quality owes partly to Rob Marshall's "Chicago" and "Memoirs of a Geisha" clever direction. But Meryl Streep's performance as the witch is what really makes it. It would've been easy to simply make her a wicked witch casting evil spells on people, but she's more complex than that. She has goals and desires just as much as the humans do. Since we understand the witch's motivations, it's possible to care about her. In a way, she's just as human as the people. This is not to ignore the fine performances of the rest of the cast. Anna Kendrick, James Corden, Emily Blunt, Chris Pine, Lilla Crawford and Daniel Huttlestone play their roles perfectly, with great support from Tracey Ullman, Christine Baranski, MacKenzie Mauzy, and Johnny Depp in a brief appearance.In the end, I found it to be a good movie. It's worth noting that this is NOT a movie for the little ones. The movie contains mature undertones and has scenes that might upset tykes. But if you can handle these, then you're sure to enjoy the movie. It's not a masterpiece, but I thought that they did a good job with it. I'm not a fan of musicals at all, but I liked the songs. So go see it.
