Riff is from my hometown. Cant wait to watch in dvd
So the dancing pales in comparison to the original. 2/5
This is a surprisingly good cam copy. Unfortunately the film’s final 20 or so minutes are gone. 133 out of 156 minutes. Please find a way to upload the entire movie.
Not as good as the original!
I grew up watching the original 1961 production that featured/starred Rita Moreno. She portrayed Anita. Back then she had the voice of an angel, strong, mesmerizing, and beautiful. It was a joy to hear her sing in this 2021 adaptation, though, at 90 her singing is not as crisp(that comes with aging, of course). And Ansel? I had no idea he could sing; and very well. The actress who portrayed Maria(2021 version) did a wonderful job. As for the majority of The Jets and Sharks singing…they need lessons, badly. I noticed quite a few sour pitched, off key, notes. Kudo’s for their attempts. Perhaps Spielberg should have dubbed their voices like was done for the majority of cast in the original 1961 musical were dubbed. The only person to have bragging rights of singing in the original 1961 musical is Rita Moreno(Anita in 1961 original), who portrays Valentina in the 2021 version(a write in added character in this adaptation). Yes, The character of Valentina is not in the original 1961 version. Thus, there is a quite different story for Tony throughout the entire 1961 musical, and, due to the addition of Valentina in the 2021 version there are slightly different additional scenes and ending.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this adaptation.
Ansel Elgort sucks the energy outta every scene he’s in. Otherwise, it’s decent.
Commercials and singing subtitled
So far, I’m not impressed
go watch it in theatres.
Ending was a little vague. Since she is last one holding the gun does Rita Velveeta end up arrested and sent to Rikers Island? I hope there’s a sequel.
Perhaps watching the 1961 original will help. Rita Moreno’s character in this 2021 version, Valentina, was written in by Spielberg as an honorary added cameo-character because Rita Moreno portrayed Anita in the Original musical. In the original adaptation, there are no parents(or grandparents/aunts/uncles) present in it at all. Also in the original, Rita was the only actress to sing the songs, while all other characters were dubbed with other singers voices. This 2021 ending is not quite exactly how the original version ends. If you want to watch that version check it out here. I’m sure you can search and find a streaming service or other website to watch it:

I was joking! Apparently someone doesn’t understand sarcasm. lol Sorry to catch you off guard. I as well am very familiar with both versions and their back stories. Regardless, thank you for that thoughtfully well-written synopsis and movie history!
LOL. It was pretty late and I was tired when writing that. I guess my brain was too sleepy to catch your snarcasm. I was debating to wait till the next day after sleep. But decided to write it up and get ‘er dun. LOL.
