Yeah. For a movie touted as a musical, I felt there weren't very many songs at all. Very lacking in that department, imo.


Yeah. Glad I wasn't the only one that thought that.

It's extremely overrated though. I expected more from it.


Agreed. Nowhere near the greats like Grease.


Grease was pretty good. Not perfect, but pretty good imo.

And it was ok.

It's extremely overrated though. I expected more from it.

I felt it lacked in singing and dancing. Really expected more from a musical.

Some of the singing didn't seem to synch with the actors. It really threw me off.

I also wasn't a big fan of the ending. But oh well.

Now to some things I found positive.

I liked some of the music.

And I liked how some of the scenes were done in a single shot. That must've been difficult especially for the long dancing and singing scenes.

But yeah. What did u think about the movie? Did you love it, like it, thought it was ok, or didn't like it? Did you think it was overrated like me?

Edit: I forgot to say that I disliked how they didn't show what happened to them in those 5 years and why their relationship didn't work.

I think that if your casted lead has to be autotuned then you made a terrible choice in casting your leading.


I don't know if she was autotuned or not. Haven't heard anything about that at all.

I haven't watched the animated movie in over 20 years and I don't remember being a fan of it as a child tbh.

I became interested in the live action Disney version for some reason. One of those reasons being that Emma Watson is absolutely beautiful.

I forgot about it until I saw it on the list of movies coming to Netflix and I finally watched it yesterday.

Normally I'm not into musicals, but I LOVED B & B!!! Everything about it was great! I'm going to buy it digitally soon.

I even liked the changes they made to make it modern like (spoilers in case you haven't watched it): interracial couples, diversity, and gay characters. It's rare when I like changes made from existing material because it usually looks like they changed it for the sake of changing it and for publicity. But it was very well done here and I applaud everyone that made this movie for doing a great job including as many people as possible.

But yeah, it was great. The acting, visuals, music, everything was great. If you haven't watched it, I highly recommend it. It's on Netflix (US). I'm going to watch it again a few more times this week. That's what I usually do with movies I love.

I was watching Alien 3 but it started off bad and boring. I watched about half of it until I turned it off and deleted off my DVR. I'll give it another try some other day.

It was dumb how they killed off Hicks and Newt.

I quickly read what happened in Alien 3 and didn't miss anything it seems.

I just started watching Friends recently. Only 2 episodes in so my opinion is very limited.

Monica can't seem to confront her parents and feels the need to make them happy no matter what.

Rachel seems to be super high maintenance. That's a huge turn off. Plus she walked off on her own wedding.

Phoebe isn't funny and she seems like an idiot. I find her the most attractive I think.

Watched Alien about a month or two ago. Thought it was ok.

I had a few other ones on my DVR and I'm a fan of James Cameron, I was very interested in Aliens. So I finished watching it recently and loved the ending. I watched it again yesterday and yeah, I really like it.

I have Alien 3 on my DVR but haven't watched it. I plan on watching it soon and I'm going to watch the others.

But I was wonder what you guys and gals think about the Alien movies and how is Alien 3 and beyond?

Oh and I really like Ellen Ripley's character development. She's such a bad ass.

No. I don't care about other's lives that much. A lot of people I know that are on Facebook just want to show off and are attention whores. To each their own. Im not the type of person who seeks attention.

I did have fb years ago but deleted it for the reasons I mentioned above. I don't miss it at all. In fact, I really hate this social media generation and how people want to record and share absolutely everything about themselves as if they are that interesting. The world doesn't revolve around them. Oh and I'm aware not everyone is like that. But most people seem to be that are on social media. At the end of the day, to each their own. I live my life the way I want.
