Very best movie i ever watch
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
This film is a musical journey though a bohemian neighbourhood, with most residents living their own dream but struggling to pay even last year's rent.Being a landlord myself, it makes me cringe when they sing about not paying last year's rent, this year's rent and next year's rent. Maybe that's why I never got into the film. I find the characters sing far too repetitively, with one message stretching minutes. I got it the first time, please don't repeat it for the twentieth time!The Broadway musical is about Aids, but in thus film adaptation it is sidelined by constant bickering and erm... very expressive and passionate communication. I just find the film really boring, which is quite unfortunate as I have heard so many good things about it.
I honestly loved the opening theme song of ' Seasons of Love'. It's just an incredible way to start one of the most recognized musicals in the whole wide world.The rest of the music was great. As usual after her success in the Broadway musical 'Wicked', Idina Menzel killed it with her role as a bisexual woman. Like seriously, you can get that girl into anything! I'm so glad she got involved with voicing Elsa in Frozen. She is a legend. Just stunning!And how can we forget Wilson Jermaine Heredia aka Angel. He looked fabulously smashing dressing up as a drag queen. He really had a lot of energy and his love for Tom Collins just made you smile! I was so gutted that he died from aids. I felt so deeply sorry for Collins cause they were such a cute couple together :((Roger had the best voice with his own rock style. I think himself and Mini were meant for each other. I'm happy they rekindled in the end because it wouldn't make sense for them not being together! I absolutely loved watching this musical, it was so enjoyable!
I started watching this film thinking I was going to be seeing an interesting musical about people who were not selfish pricks that bring problems on themselves. Instead, that's what I got. I only lasted 30 minutes and then stopped watching it because it was that bad. Horrible acting. The timing of the music and singing was horrid. Even the lip syncing for the singing was off at times. Not to mention the story sucks. The people expect the landlord to not be mad about them being late a year behind rent. I don't blame the dude for being angry. If you want to watch a good musical, watch Repo The Genetic Opera, The Meaning Of Life, Sweeney Todd, or anything besides RENT.
Sorry for spoiling the ending, but it's really the only complaint I have about the movie.Before I start, this is, without a doubt, one of the best musicals I've ever seen, with great actors and beautiful, awesome music, but the ending, while not horrible, wasn't the best, for these reasons.It seemed a little drawn out. There were several instances where I thought the movie would end; the screen would blacken, and then boom! Another song? Not that that's a bad thing, just appeared to be drawn out a bit.The other thing, is there was a death. When Angel died, sure it seemed sad, but I never really got to know him. Okay, he's transgender, and has a relationship with one of the main characters. That's about all we know about him. It might have been implied he's a bit of a dancer for money (near the beginning of the movie), but we don't know anything about him, really, or for that fact, anything about many of the characters, therefore when Angel died, sure it was sad, but I just didn't really feel too much, just a bit sad.Since I'm on the topic of death, here's the main reason why it went from 10/10 to 9/10. Angel died, and then Mimi goes missing. Of course they find her, and then the movie does the "She appears dead, but actually isn't for some reason" cliché. When she appeared dead, sure I wondered if she was actually going to die, but I was rolling my eyes because just like, minutes before that Angel died. I wasn't sad when Mimi appears to be dead, I was actually like, "Come on. I'll be pretty mad if two characters die in a row."Just a little thing, but the ending was also so confusing. So much happened. We never really got to mourn too much over Angel, and how did he die, exactly? So much happened I don't even know how he died, so while his funeral was going on, that question was going on through my mind.Anyway, enough with my complaints. All these things were at the end of the movie, but the rest of the movie, the movie as a whole, was excellent. I absolutely love it, and highly recommend it!
