Review by Tasha Robinson ★★½ 4

What bothers me most about Rob Marshall's stage adaptation isn't that it guts the second half of the Broadway play, losing much of the primary theme, and one of the show's best songs, the "Agony" reprise, and the finale that picks the mood back up from unrelentingly bleak. It isn't just that it's visually drab and unimaginative, overusing the same swirling camera movement, some clunky Jack The Giant Killer CGI, and a space that looks exactly like a soundstage decked in plastic plants. It isn't the casting of a couple of kids who bring down the level of the show considerably. These are all bothersome problems, but the even more egregious issue for me is that the film is so…

the following is a leaked email from IntoTheWoodsProducer1@disney.com to IntoTheWoodsProducer2@disney.com, recovered in the Sony hack:
MOVIE MUSICAL CHECKLIST, or: HOW TO DIRECTLY PIGGYBACK ON THE SUCCESS OF THE LES MIS MOVIE
✅ adapt an old ass musical that works better onstage
✅ swap out practical effects for insanely obvious CGI
✅ hire maximum 2 actors with actual experience on broadway
[i hear chris pine has never even HEARD of into the woods! perfect!]
✅ speaking of which, get that child actor who played gavroche. yes that EXACT same kid
✅ slow down the music, bring it down several octaves so the inexperienced actors can keep up
✅ run an insane best supporting actress campaign
[for emily blunt, obviously. oh, what's…

This is really sturdy for the first hour or so, but then the palette somehow becomes even darker and it loses all momentum.

Musicals aren't really my thing, but Emily Blunt and Anna Kendrick are.
Into the Woods is full of very good performances. The stand outs for me were Emily Blunt, Meryl Streep, and Anna Kendrick. As many have said, my biggest issue with the film is the second half. I wasn't crazy about any of the songs either, they weren't very memorable. In my opinion an effective musical makes you remember the tunes. For example, after I saw The Rocky Horror Picture Show the songs stayed with me for a few days after I watched it. That's not the case with this film; I watched it a few hours ago and I can barely recall any of the songs.

Review by Hollie Horror ★½ 24

After about an hour and forty-five minutes of singing, the next song started and I gasped - "Oh for fuck's sake!" Richard then tells me - "Maybe you shouldn't watch musicals if you hate them so much." Well, he's probably right.

Just kinda forgettable
Review by WaitingDirector ★

99.99% of the film is just them saying in to the woods
Review by TanzenderStern ★★★

Love Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, Christine Baranski and Chris Pine.
Hate James Corden (and his narratation that does not work for a film) and the butchering of the entire second act.
Review by eriscara ★

Personalmente il peggior film della Disney...
Review by Vitaro ★★★★

Um ótimo musical, uma peça de teatro muito bem cinematografada, e a mixagem de som deste filme é muito boa, a forma que interlaçaram a história em uma só e fazendo piadas sobre as próprias histórias é genial.
