Movies

I'm certainly not saying that it's a prerequisite to have seen the musical in order to write a review of the movie, but at least do some

research about it, especially if you didn't like the "musical" aspects of the movie. Before publishing your review, you could look up the musical and find out, oh, it's sung all the way through. So that's not a fault of the movie, it's a fault of the source. And then warn your readers, "hey, i didn't know that it was going to be all singing throughout, and that grated on my nerves; but that's just the way the musical which this is based on is, so be forewarned."

Reading the reviews of LESMS that are trickling out, many of them seem to be by reviewers who perhaps have not seen the musical on stage. Paul2k Dec 06, 16:27

Yeah. If that's not your cup of tea in general, this probably won't change your mind :) {nm} Paul2k Dec 06, 16:38

As soon as I heard it was musical, knew I would pass. Had never seen or read, so, I watched the 1998 film version. Pretty good. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Dec 06, 16:40

You haven't seen any of the ads? This will be video or one of the movie channels for me. {nm} Vashta Nerada Dec 06, 16:41

saw the trailer, which had anne singing that susan boyle song, but i just figured it was for the trailer {nm} islander Dec 06, 16:42

That is another way of saying that previous hype was overblown ;) {nm} thatpj Dec 06, 17:25

I'm a fan of alot of musicals and I'm sure this is going to be very good, but the history of musicals box office is not so good. {nm} JDolphin Dec 06, 18:28

I'll disagree, if the reviews are there, box office is good, if not, it's bad, mostly {nm} LanceStorm22 Dec 07, 19:47

I love musicals, but it's still a music type and prone to not being for everyone, just like any other music type...apples and oranges {nm} tealfan Dec 06, 20:23

I can't wait to miss it. {nm} goodvibe61 Dec 07, 11:10
