Aaron's Thoughts
Pretty frustrated with the reception of this one. I get that most people are just review bombing the film because they don’t like the politics of either Zegler or Gadot, but it’s upsetting that the lowest rated film in IMDB history isn’t even bad.
Sure, we can all agree that some of the CGI is less than ideal & Gadot can’t sing or act to save her life, but everyone else is EXCELLENT. The music rocks, actual Broadway level singers (minus Gadot) were cast, Rachel Zegler is a star, and the updated spin on the story actually justifies its own existence (unlike most other Disney live action adaptations).
Not only is this not even remotely one of the worst live action Disney adaptations, it’s actually one of the best. Yet, people who will never even bother to sit down and watch the film will dedicate every waking hour to convince you it’s bad.
Shame on anyone who trashes this movie or any movie that they haven’t watched with their own eyes from start to finish. If you watch it and have issues, that’s totally fine. But anyone who trashes a movie without even engaging with the end product is a total loser and everything wrong with not only movies at the moment, but our world as a whole.
