Into the Woods was one of the most anticipated released of 2014, with an all star cast including Meryl Streep, James Corden, Anna Kendrick, Emily Blunt, Chris Pine and Johnny Depp. Into the Woods has been nominated for three Oscars, another 52 awards and has also won 9.
The beloved Brother's Grimm fairy tales are renewed in this charismatic movie, wherein the stories of Cinderella, Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk and Little Red Riding Hood are all combined with an original story. The songs are catchy, albeit, some seem to drag on, but it's a wonderful family movie, one that the kids will love and want to watch again and again.
Many people didn't like the movie, however, I did quite enjoy it, even finding time to learn the lyrics after watching my first time to sing along for the next time I do watch. I do wish actors such as Johnny Depp and Chris Pine were in it more than they were, being a fan of both actors, but they did their characters justice. With promising acting from child stars Daniel Huttlestone (Jack) and Lilla Crawford (Red Riding Hood), one can only hope to see more from them in the future.
Scoring a 7/10, I do recommend this movie, but only if you like original twists and musicals - otherwise it may be quite torturous.
