Poll of the Day > Just finished watching La La Land. (Spoilers)

(+) Yeah! (+)

And it was ok.

It's extremely overrated though. I expected more from it.

I felt it lacked in singing and dancing. Really expected more from a musical.

Some of the singing didn't seem to synch with the actors. It really threw me off.

I also wasn't a big fan of the ending. But oh well.

Now to some things I found positive.

I liked some of the music.

And I liked how some of the scenes were done in a single shot. That must've been difficult especially for the long dancing and singing scenes.

But yeah. What did u think about the movie? Did you love it, like it, thought it was ok, or didn't like it? Did you think it was overrated like me?

Edit: I forgot to say that I disliked how they didn't show what happened to them in those 5 years and why their relationship didn't work.

Agreed. Nowhere near the greats like Grease.

Yeah. For a movie touted as a musical, I felt there weren't very many songs at all. Very lacking in that department, imo.

Yeah. Glad I wasn't the only one that thought that.

Grease was pretty good. Not perfect, but pretty good imo.

Not much of a fan of musicals and never really thought about seeing this movie.

But reading spoilers about it having single shot scenes and not having an over abundance of musical numbers have made me just a hint more curious to see it.

Grease is a damn teenage staple and Everyone Says I Love You is a Woody Allen treat.
