Look at the image above. Look at how beautiful that color is. The joy and glee. Yeah, not so much. I think Spielberg desaturated the color to make this thing ugly to fit the gritty storytelling. Yes, this is a gritty musical, and has some of the best songs of any musical. The dancing is really well done in this one, but I find Ansel Elgort (aside from his personal problems) a dull Tony and sucks the life out of the show. As with all West Side Story adaptions, I dislike how long it takes from the RUMBLE to the final scene...always felt that the rumble should be nearer to the end. Ultimately a good try, but not one of my favorite of the new musicals that have been coming out in the last few years.

If you have to see one West Side Story, see the original. If you want to see two though, this is an ok one. https://boxd.it/2nHzBb

Another unnecessary remake that tries to sneak into the Oscars of 2022, it is a shame to see how Steven Spielberg now only dedicates himself to creating soulless cinema, like the vast majority of modern films in Hollywood. If you want to see this story well told, just watch the original movie from the 60's.

Full disclosure, I was and am a HUGE fan of the 1961 WEST SIDE STORY. I know it’s every detail, every word of every lyric, every emotional cue. Rita Moreno was the iconic Rita. So, I went to see this new Spielberg directed, Moreno produced, 2021 version with more curiosity than expectation. Not fo More

what a wonderful surprise of 2021 my godss
- I won't lie, when I heard that Spielberg was going to direct this musical I was afraid it would be a complete disaster, that's because I'm only used to Spielberg's side in Lincoln, Jaws, Shindler's List and saving private ryan, the melodragon, baby.. ..s More

[7.4/10] I have high expectations when I go to see a Steven Spielberg movie. I have higher expectations when he’s adapting one of the most iconic and well-known American musicals. I have higher expectations still when people I know and trust rave about what he and his collaborators have done with More

West Side story: Gritty morality tale with an emotional punch. 85%

Not having seen the stage production of "West Side story" or its first film version, which I understand is regarded as a classic, I really don't have a point of comparison for this new film version of the long-running musical thea More
