TOW# 15 Into the Woods movie review analysis


This review’s ideas seem to be lost in the woods just like the characters in the movie it critiques. The review discusses Disney’s new movie “Into the Woods”, a story about fairy tale characters that meet together in the forest. While this review tries to praise the movie while still pointing out its flaws, its ideas end up coming off as disjointed and awkward. The review starts of with a little too much praise with using the words “excellently” and “perfect” to describe it’s scenes. These words put the movie on a pedestal that makes it seem untouchable. The idea that the movie is “perfect” makes it seem like it does not deserve to be critiqued, which is just what this article hopes to do. The rest of this articles purpose is squandered not only because it’s language set it up for failure, but also because it’s statements are too condemning that they lose their effectiveness. This review tries to point out these movies flaws but expresses in in ways that make the movie seem unappealing, saying that some scenes “left me [the author] feeling a bit disgusted”. This review also seems to, instead of intelligently phrasing its argument, ends up rambling. This already poorly enacted article, blunders even more when it stats to rant and fully loses the attention of it’s readers. This author also tears down any ethos that it had by stating that they had not seen the play that this movie is based off of. This article tries to present the movie it is reviewing as a good movie with flaws, but ends up presenting itself as bipolar and scatterbrained. The author of article created a review so ineffective that it almost makes the reader want to avoid seeing the movie.
