Watch The Nutcracker: The Untold Story For Free

The Age of Commercialism

Simply Perfect

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

This film has received some negative reviews but in comparison with many of the Christmas offerings which offer schmaltzy sentimental rubbish this has some drama and tight spots and you are drawn into the action. The nut cracker when returned to life lacks charisma which the toy seems to have through only the voice. The contrast between Mary and her brother Max is nicely realised.Of course there is a sense of history and some scenes are reminiscent of the book burning under the Nazis and the dating of the plot as the 1920 can tend to emphasis this.The special effects are good and the rat faces well made

This movie is a true masterpiece. I can't believe its bad ratings. The acting is perfect, the music which is based on Tchaikovskis works is brilliantly made, the visuals are of great art.It's funny, sad, exciting, surprising, magical, and did I say sad?It's impossible for me to not cry watching some of the scenes in this film. And I've watched it several times now.I have a great interest in movies, but this is truly one of the best movies I've ever seen. If not the best. It is certainly on my top five together with Mulholland Drive (Lynch), Synecdoche, New York (Kaufman), etc.Thank you Andrey Konchalovskiy for creating this masterpiece. And I'm so sorry for the bad ratings. Something must be seriously wrong in this world.

I don't usually do this. I don't really care enough to post on here, but for this travesty of a movie I had to register. This film has: horrible acting, horrible plot, horrible script, rotten to the bone. I have no idea for whom this movie was made, in appropriate for children boring and immature for adults. The only saving grace is that they spent 90 million on it and only got back a few grand. Anyone associated with this piece of crap should be ashamed of themselves. PS: I'm willing to bet money that anyone giving this a positive review is either associated with the film and has no soul, or has recently been the victim of a horrible TBI.

Even the kids hated it. At end daughter asked if we could put it in the rubbish. I wanted to stop watching by halfway. Holocaust themes, dark and violent for younger children, and lots of rat teeth.To be fair, make-up and costumes were alright plus Elle Fanning is gorgeous and a talented actress but even as the main redeeming feature she was unable to support this holocaust-themed bastardisation of a ballet. Tim Rice may be good at lyrics but the breaks into song were un-natural and whole thing forced, boring and dreary. Composers would be turning in their graves. I truly hope I never watch this again!
