I saw Into the Woods yesterday at a previewing of it at Harkins
Theater. It is definitely a MUST see! The casting was done extremely
well for almost all the characters. Not only this but their choices of
set and scenery for each scene in the movie was done exceptionally
well. This movie has many amazing things about it! I'd say if I had to
choose one thing specifically out of everything i liked about it, I'd
say the emotional atmosphere the movie creates. This emotional
atmosphere keeps you on the edge of your sit,it also makes you feel
sympathy for each character and their individual stories.But I am not
just going to say something about the atmosphere the movie creates but
how great the music itself was. There are several songs in Into The
Woods that I left the Theater with on my mind.I guarantee when if you
go see Into The Woods you'll leave the Theater satisfied.So go and see
Into the Woods when it comes out in Theaters Christmas day!
