Title: I Don't Get The Hype...
Review: Personally, I didn't understand the film or the musical. The message I understand, but the singing, dancing, music, and plot in general didn't really move me, convince me, or uplift me. I understand that in even the most depressing themes in a musical, the music still remains exuberant and positive. But something about the music in RENT didn't seem to fit. I found them to be lackluster and not catchy at all. The characters were bland and boring to me. Not much personality, felt more like watching sterotypes on screen with no depth, emotion, or feeling. One of the actresses who played a lesbian was truly the most horrible and over the top actor I've ever seen, just ridiculous and annoying. I'm glad i watched this with a few co-eds than by myself, it made it a tiny bit more enjoyable. Personally though, i hate the movie, and i just don't understand the musical. Great themes, but just so dry, lackluster, and at times just a bit unrealistic and boring.
Is the review positive or negative?
