I absolutely loved it! I have been a fan of the musical since it came out on stage and this movie did it justice. I can see many people not “getting” it or having trouble finding the appeal and thats fine. This movie may not be for everyone. It has very particular and defined themes that not everyone will be able to comprehend. You have to live that life in neighborhoods like shown in the movie to really appreciate the subtle homages of the cultures they portray here. As a nuyorican, this movie made me proud.
That being said, was the movie structurally perfect? No. There were some janky transitions here and there and some lines didn’t need to be added. But on the flip side, some scenes were portrayed masterfully and more beautiful than my mind could’ve imagined listening to the soundtrack. A must watch.
What is there to say about this show? It’s been around for over twenty straight years and still iconic and amazing. If you like pirates, adventure, comedy, heartfelt storytelling, great characters and so on, just watch it. Just do it.
Just watched it! So freaken good! The fight scenes were bomb and everyone got a chance to shine.
I. clap am clap so clap EXCITED clap clap for this SHOW throws confetti while spinning
Only watched the first episode of season two and i’m already annoyed. I don’t know if its just bad and forced acting but man. I hate when shows start with a decent plot with high school elements to then be 80% high school teenage crap and throw in a sprinkle of the actual good stuff. The pacing is really weird too. I’m going to give it until episode three to see if it gets better. If not, i’ll drop it.
Update: i’ve finished it all and while it wasn’t as bad as i thought it would be. Man…they really went ham on the twist and turns. So many twists but no explanations. Some stuff with the lore made no sense. The end of the season wasn’t a shocker. The moment they revealed the bad guy in the flashback i knew he would be back. I still stand that the actor playing Gabe took me out of it. They didn’t direct or correct his acting well. Also the mom’s reactions and behavior in general is so off too. Her kids feel more grounded and adult than she is. And her reactions to stuff isn’t realistic. I don’t know man. I give season two 6/10. Ill
Probably watch season 3 just cause im a completionist but not jumping in excitement for it.
My obsession is very real XD
I think this was really good. Can’t wait for season 2.
One of the best visual pirate stories I’ve seen! Amazing visuals, great storytelling and pacing. Diverse cast and many themes explored. I lived it.
I need this show on dvd. That was really good man.
That was really good! I actually liked it a lot for a fourth season. Can’t wait for season 5.
I would be more into it if the characters were directed to act like the characters they represent. Why was there such weird sexual chemistry between the two older siblings? Why does the mom have such a teenager in a school rom com vibe? Why are do the bad guys feel like they belong in a different show? Its just really bad dialogue writing and directing. I know its not all the actors faults because I’ve seen some of these actors in other roles and they are good.
For when it was made and the resources they had, this movie was not bad at all. Cool to see the origins of this genre of movie. That being said, some scenes would have more impact if they changed the music to adapt to the scenes instead of having the same spongebob-sounding happy music throughout. But other than that, it was alright.
This movie is so underrated. I really like it. Its funny and the bad guy is not terrible.
I droped it half way through. Im going to find a summary on youtube because i like the plot and stuff but god....its such a Chore to watch.
I think this movie is great. The soundtrack is great too.
