DEV and ARK: "Into the Woods!" by DEV

We can't really call this a movie review, 'cause I'm only planning to list down all of the things I liked about the Into the Woods film.

But that's just how biased I am when it comes to awesomazing musicals turned into Hollywood movies.

So here it is, my list of reasons why the Into The Woods film rocked, and why you should probably see it too.

1. I watched this movie-musical with a critical eye, comparing every second of it to the Broadway version, but it still surprised me! Like whoa, it's pretty good!

2. The cast were adorable. And funny. And convincing. And some of them were perfect for their roles.

3. Like Meryl effin' Streep! For a second there, she actually made me sympathize with her Witch character by singing a painful rendition of "Stay With Me." Then she wrecked that sissy emotional connection by reminding me of her evil, and cutting Rapunzel's hair.

And just look at that transformation. As her own character said: "Oh. My. God."

4. Anna Kendrick! She brought a lot of her own personality to the Cinderella character, but with this, she made me love the princess for the first time.

5. Emily Blunt! This woman was so entertaining on so many different levels.

And the way she swooned over Cinderella's prince when he kissed her was exactly how anyone would react if a prince ever kissed them. Questioning her morality and existence and shit.

6. Chris Pine! For someone who sings a lot better than me, it's funny to hear that he was shy about his singing voice. Like dude, I shatter people's ears all the time! Be proud that you even have a singing voice!

7. Little Gavroche from Les Miserable may have died, but he somehow managed to scurry over to another film, this time playing a familiar role of Jack. Yeah, the one with the magic beans and the habit of slaying giants.

8. Johnny Depp was okay for his role. Classic Depp. He didn't look much like a sexual offender, and I guess that's a good thing.

(Unless the evil wolf mustache turns you off.)

9. Milky White! This cow should win an Oscar.

10. Most of the songs were done right. Personal faves were "On the Steps of the Palace," "Stay With Me," and "Agony."

(My princess runs faster than my horse. Your argument is invalid.)

11. A lot of the lines were funny. You should watch the movie before I start reenacting the scenes for you.

12. The effects were glorious. It catered for the Witch's habit of making dramatic entrances and exits. Everything looked magical and dark and natural. You know, like a Disney movie.

Just one complaint, they never sang First Midnight (and I understand why).

Overall, this movie is something people will enjoy, whether they're a fan of the Broadway version or not. There are scenes that feel too long and boring, but a lot of times, this movie will not only catch your attention, but also captivate your cold heart.

As one reviewer said, "in a world where no one believes in a happy ending, this is the fairy tale we need."
