8/10
I am baffled
23 November 2021
This film has Gene Kelly, the Gershwins, Technicolor and a huge budget. From my perspective, all are put to fine use.

I could hardly believe when I saw it's Eye Emm Dee Bee rating barely cracked 7. Wuh? When every film noir turkey gets 6+ and everything cranked out by talentless hacks from Arnold to Bruce Willis to Keanu to every superhero movie ever made gets 8+??

Reading the reviews actually depressed me more. People complaining about there being too much singing and dancing? In a musical!!

Thin on plot ! A musical is not Dickens. It's singing and dancing. You know, escapism.

And then the whining about it not deserving the Best Picture Oscar. Uh, get over it. That was 70 years ago. Nobody reviewing here was alive to be at an Oscar home party that night.

If you can't enjoy a film of dancing and singing draped over Gershwin music there is something seriously wrong with you. Fear not, Avengers 12: The Endquickeninggame is coming to a streaming service near you.
