It was a terrible movie 😟

@Bayesian really? How so?

@noney Uh imo the characters were all terrible, terrible, shallow, petty, childish, stupid people that didn't make sensible decisions at any point. spoiler-ish: most characters built up to be decent ended up being cartoonishly evil. people trying to redeem themselves by doing a single thing right did 10 terrible things the next instant. felt like a very anti-human movie with a very depressing message. treated looks to be equal to social status ++, like it's a magic spell that makes you be able to do literally anything (to a more ridiculous extent than one would expect from that description). everyone is naturally hilariously racist / speciest (worse when the animals have human-intelligence and speech) / ableist / ugly-ist / hyper-comformist. some characters go from being lame to supposedly seen as extremely respectable and back with no apparent consistency.

I guess this is bc the book / play are like that, and i'd never seen/read those. I'm not a fan of musicals either but i can't fault them for that and the singing at some points is very good. the cast is pretty good and the cinematography and all that is quite good too. so ig i'm really saying i didn't like the plot and characters and themes i think, which might be the book's fault

oh and it was only a setup for part 2, which i didn't know going in and made the plot seen as a standalone much worse presumably

@Bayesian fair enough, have heard good things but I haven't had the time to see it mysta

@polymathematic maybe add 125 & 140?

@Ziddletwix somehow i missed this comment. i'll have to check my notification settings :)
