Into the Woods review

My sister took me and my oldest nephew to see this yesterday. I thought it was an interesting movie overall, but I felt there were too many characters and interweaving plots going on. My favorite character was the witch, oddly enough. Meryl Streep was just amazing. And much more sympathethic than your stereotypical fairytale witch, which was quite refreshing. I also liked Johnny Depp as the wolf. He was just so deliciously evil. The other characters somewhat got on my nerves at some point, but the music was overall very well done, particularly in the case of Little Red Riding Hood. I thought the actress playing her role did a wonderful job. I would not recommend  going to theaters to see this, but I'd say it's definitely worth renting or streaming when it comes out on DVD. I may buy it.
