I'll be brief..this series had me wanting to watch it again immediately after finishing. The script and writing were great. Although it's a classic enemies to lovers, it felt different. It was so well paced that you didn't want to stop watching. When I tell you you'll be hooked, you WILL. One of the best things, IMO, is how they are on a roller coaster with one another just when you get a tease of something, boom, back down to the bottom. The leads' chemistry is insane and makes the draw so good. Definitely one of the best romance series in a long time!! I don't know of anything I would compare it to, because it's leaps and bounds better.
This movie was just a let down. While I could go into details, if you read anything off of this..the post credit scene is PERFECTION. I kid you not that made sitting through this 2.5 hour movie with it.
The Maltese Falcon is a MUST watch!! This movie kept my attention the entire time. I was so afraid that if I looked away for even a moment I'd miss something crucial. Bogart is exceptional & the story is extremely well written. So many twists and turns, I'd watch it again right now.
"I couldn't be fonder of you if you were my own son. But, well, if you lose a son, it's possible to get another. There's only one Maltese Falcon."

As an avid lover of classic musicals, Ole Blue Eye, and the immaculate Gene Kelly, even I wouldn't recommend this one. The story is quite boring to me. I enjoyed watching Gene dance, but most the songs were pretty cheesy. There are much better 40's musical out there, pass on this.
I am in tears. Brian's story is absolutely inspiring. His fighting spirit is something I can only aspire to have. What he had to endure is something no one should ever have to, but I can only hope it's stories like this that inspire America, our justice system to do better.
The question I've been asking myself the past hour is how on earth I bypassed this at the movies and even more how I've let it sit on my watch list for 5 years!? JK and Teller are phenomenal. I was on the literal edge of my seat for most of the movie. This movie grabs your attention from the beginning and it never let mine go.
I was so hesitant about this movie when I first saw the previews, because why mess with perfection and nothing Julie Andrews touches should EVER be redone/built upon. However, as the movie got closer I was a bit more hopeful. How I wished I would have stuck with my gut feeling.
I was NOT impressed with Emily Blunt...and I love her! Her voice is great, but she has no Mary Poppins magic. She is actually quite stand-off-ish in my opinion. There's no genuine kindness or tenderness. When Emily tries to recreate Julie's "Stay Awake" scene it is terrible.
As far as the movies goes: it starts out so slow. I was bored..in a musical..what! Within the first 45 minutes I felt like nearly every song was shoved in there and poorly placed. Not ever scene needs a musical number. The OG Mary Poppins was perfect because each song was memorable and came at just the right moment! You walked away from the first one remembering so many of the musical phenoms. In this movie, I remember one song about judging a book by the cover and that's not even a song children will be singing for the next 40 years.
The most magical part of the film is probably the last 20 minutes. This is what happens when you try and have someone play the same role as Julie Andrews and expect the same outcome. Poor choice Disney.

As a LOVER of all things Disney and the Nutcracker ballet, I wanted to love this film so bad. I have been dying of anticipation. Much to my dismay, it was one of the most boring movies I've ever seen. The plot was all over the place, acting was mediocre (which is shocking because there are some great casts), and it was too different from the story for me. I usually recommended people to go see Disney movies just to see it, but I'm telling you..wait until Redbox. I'm so disappointed.
I thought the movie itself was so-so. However, the story and the meaning behind it was beautiful. Continually throughout the movie I was reminded of God's grace and just how powerful the gospel is. I can only hope that there are people who go to watch this who are needing hope, because they will most certainly find it in the message here!
