Unfortunately for The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, poor word of mouth may ultimately hurt this pricey venture. Be forewarned that Disney’s latest holiday offering has reprocessed nothing but bits, pieces, slivers and chunks of Nutcrackery into a colorful, sumptuously produced confection with barely detectable nutritional value." Joe Morgenstern, The Wall Street Journal: "Many foods these days carry warnings that they were made in a facility also used for processing nuts. Not even Keira Knightley as a saccharine-voiced Sugar Plum Fairy can inject any feeling of human presence." Eugenio Derbez seems to be giving his flamboyant Flower Regent performance on another soundstage altogether (not unlikely, in fact). Grant, a sensitive actor with a great face, nearly completely obstructed by a fringe of plastic icicles. A curious mix of high art and commerce, the tell-tale shared directing credit held by. What we have here is simply a botch job with two directors - Lasse Hallstrom ( My Life as a Dog) for starters and Joe Johnston ( Jurassic Park III) for reshoots - and absolutely no personality of its own."Įmily Yoshida, New York Magazine: "As the regent of the Ice Realm, I felt deep embarrassment for Richard E. REVIEW: THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS is a fascinating curio for both what it is and what it isn’t. Hoffman and a ballet with music by Tchaikovsky.
What went wrong? Where to begin?!? On the surface, this Disney debacle seems like a no-brainer for the holidays: It’s an 1816 gothic fairy tale by E.T.A. Peter Travers, Rolling Stone: "Slow torture for kids and grownups alike, The Nutcracker and the Four Realms gives a bad name to the very concept of family entertainment. This is your warning that if you have any affinity for the ballet, avoid this at all costs." Katie Walsh, Chicago Tribune: " The Nutcracker and the Four Realms? What in the cuckoo Christmas blasphemy is this? Disney, continuing on its inexorable death march to add more war to soft and beautiful classic childhood stories, has plucked all the feathers from Tchaikovsky and Petipa's holiday ballet and tossed a bunch of glitter and circus clowns at its quivering carcass. RELATED: Disney's 2018 Box Office Is Second-Biggest in Studio's History Here's a selection of the harshest reviews of Disney's The Nutcracker and the Four Realms: And even those that do have something positive to say seem to reaffirm there's plenty of issues in the final product - something that isn't dreadful, but something that could have certainly been much more if handled properly. When the review embargo finally lifted Friday, critics were quick to note that Disney's holiday feature feels like an "overstuffed" and "half-baked" attempt at recreating the classic story. And yet, even Johnston's touch couldn't save this adaptation. Original director Lasse Hallstrom was unavailable last year to complete additional photography, but he was still heavily involved in post-production, which led to the rare case in which the Directors Guild of America gave credit to both filmmakers. Unlike Justice League and Bohemian Rhapsody, two films that experienced director shake-ups, Disney's Nutcracker and the Four Realms' reason for bringing on Joe Johnston for month-long reshoots appears to be a legitimate scheduling conflict. Parental guidance is advised for the viewing of young audience.RELATED: How Disney's The Nutcracker and the Four Realms Sets Up a Sequel
NUTCRACKER FOUR REALMS REVIEWS EMBARGO MOVIE
In brief, I love this movie and it will be a great movie for the entire family. This part of the story has challenged our consciousness when we make an assumption towards someone that we don't know well. In this case, most of the characters believe that Mother Ginger is the villain in the movie because of her physical appearance and this info has been told by Sugar Plum (who is "pretty"), which turns out that Sugar Plum is the real villain in the movie, not Mother Ginger. Secondly, this movie explores the nature of how some people will judge someone's behavior (whether they are good or bad) based on their physical appearance. I believe that this moral value teaches the kids to appreciate what they own because these items can be more valuable than they think. Overall, Clara shows her determination of knowing the secret that lies within her present from her mom. First of all, this movie is kids-appropriate, however, selected scenes (like climbing rock) may not be suitable for kids since they are dangerous acts. I haven't heard about the story of The Nutcracker before, so this review is going to be purely about this movie.
