Three-Dimensional Smoke
Today I will be brief. Do not think - I have not decided to join UnitedRussia, no. Just what I saw today on the screen of your monitor andwhat I've read on the same screen a little earlier a few slightlyearlier does not correspond to one another. But - in order.What is read.The film "The Nutcracker and the Rat King" in runet became famous evenbefore its premiere in Russia, because originally it was in the U.S.,and with a budget of 90 million green gathered only 200,000 of these.If someone does not understand - it's not even a failure, it's just atotal, deep, and the final Paye, who basically scared to imagine anyproducer or investor. This is not "Imminence Nikita Mikhalkov, where"money on the screen, it's something more disastrous.Also about the film was known that the role of voicing Phil Kirkorov,Pugacheva, and other reptiles, listen to which there is no specialinterest. Well, everything else, Konchalovsky gave some great, butterribly incoherent interview on the film, which was unable to properlyanswer a single question in the style of "And what you have hereleshego rat-fascists? And what do they sing? ". And finally - U.S.critics have not understood the film and called it a dark horrormovies, but not children's tale, and American children, according toreviews, write, and fled from the hall. I will say about it.In the meantime, I'll tell you - "The Nutcracker" is certainly very farfrom a true masterpiece of the national tale, an animated cartoon "OurMasha and the Magic Nut", about which so beautifully told us someoneMadison. In the commercials shows a good half of the cartoon, so it isstrongly recommended for viewing, in order to estimate the extent ofidiocy. Unfortunately, the full matyugov.Thus, in preparation for viewing this opus, in my mind swarmeddifferent thoughts about deterrence gag reflex. Given the fact that thefilm is a fairy tale - and I hate children, and all have beenassociated with, or rather do not like it when something is explainedby "a child", and even more do not like when the children sing. Secondin the film as expected, because this child fairy tale musical. So thatwas prepared in a plastic bag, trash and narkomovskie program.What he saw.And here's a beautiful outcome of all this. Funny that what I saw onthe screen, did not cause me to outright disgust, which, in theory itshould be. That is, the aversion was caused, but the. Besides, I makeallowances for the very nasty children who play major roles, as well asthe terrible voice acting voice.The rest - on solid three points with a plus. The film, of course,filmed in a clear style sort of surrealism - apparently trying toimitate the "Alice in Wonderland" as the most severe in thecontemporary film genre, Konchalovsky too far with the images. Clearlyborrowed from Warhammer towers emerge from their rat-fascists, theNazis themselves rat on dzhetpakah - it's still bearable, but when itturns out that the rat-fascists living by burning toys, and all thetoys as soon as said in the beginning, LIVING ... In short, I do notenvy the kids who watched this movie. Of course, this is a veryinteresting method to tell about the Holocaust, moreover, that inAmerica a lot of supporters who are very fond of this theme ... ahem... I'm clearly behind those words have been sentenced to deathpublicly in Aileu usr '... Well, okay.So, the rats in the film really live by burning toys, smoky black smokethat veiled the sun, which is the main enemy of the rat - the type, theforces of darkness and all that. Given that the main voice of the ratsays Kirkorov (sorry the original is not Michael Jackson), then you candeploy the theme of Good and Evil, but we will not go into details ofthe local mythology. In short, rats live as a working population issuffering, getting them toys. Gestapo is not asleep, the rats ondzhetpakah overlook the neighborhood and knocked the guerrillas, well,everything. Damn, I can not ... Really - look already own. I furtherimpressions.Thoughts and Conclusions.Go tell that good in the film. Good exactly one thing - the beauty andspecial effects. Yes, yes, do not laugh. All sustained relatively niceeyes does not hurt, though a miserable modelka Nutcracker of twopolygons initially infuriates, but then he turns into a kid andeverything is normal. Around all shiny, all fabulous, all the color andfoolish - in a word, eye pleasing.Bad that the horrible actors. Children cause aversion, especially thegirl who somewhere has already played - in serials, I think. In theHouse, for example. It is unclear why there is a mandatory negrocharacter - a boy, a drummer who looked like a son of Bob Marley. Wherein the original tale was told about blacks? Silly question.Incidentally, among rats, the Negro is not. Paradox.Bad domestic licensing voice. Not bad, just awful. As I said earlier -the characters speak like morons. It is strange - why earlier babyvoiced movie fine, but now - whether children believe idiots, or that -but spoken of as the chair read the poems. Slowly, loudly, withemphasis on the word. Darkness.Bad songs. Especially since there are and original music. Texts ofcourse - mascara lights, here again comes to mind "Our Mary" - a levelthe same. In short, ladies and gentlemen - the film is not reallyrecommended for viewing, especially children and the children. They maylike, and they grow by the Nazis. Black humor.

Bad reviews, but good movie?
It seems that all the reviewers missed their mark and poorly did theirjobs! First, they say it was "dark" because of the rat army? But, Iremember Monkey flying armies in the "Wizard of Oz", does that meanthat it was "dark"? Nonsense! How about the Wicked Witch of the Weststarting the Straw Man on fire? Did that send "Children running up theisles"? Nonsense Again! So, the question is did the major studio's notwant the Competition and conspire to hurt a decent well done holidaymovie? My guess is yes! Only 45 screens in the U.S. doomed it tofailure. As to it being a bad version of Nutcracker, It was not aversion of Nutcracker at all! It says plainly "the untold story" andinspired by the Nutcracker, but , that was it! It was a fantasyadventure with some very good effects. The lift up the Christmas treewas deserving of much praise as a "magical Cinematic moment"! As, wereothers in this film. I had my children see it and they liked it verymuch, as did the Grandparents. Don't listen to the reviewers, theyalready decided this films fate before they saw it! (my belief)Otherwize they would't be so shallow and incredibly slow about theirreviews!

Definitely worth watching!
I think the reviews posted against this film are definitely too harsh.This is a fantasy film and the special effects, the creativity, theimagination and the characterization are all simply fantastic! Thismovie may not be a Harry Potter but it is surely a delight for anychild and even entertaining enough for an adult. Waiting for the DVDrelease to pick up a copy for my kid.The film is basically about a young girl whose boring life takes adramatic turn when her toys come to life! The Nutcracker doll takes herinto his own world and she helps him fight the evil Rat King.With a stellar star-cast (award-winning actors like Nathan Lane, JohnTurturro, Frances De La Tour) and superb acting by the kids (ElleFanning, Charlie Rowe), directed by Emmy Award winning director AndreiKonchlovsky, and 8 songs by Oscar award winning lyricist Sir Tim Rice,you cannot go wrong with such a great team!

Visually spellbinding but charmless family fare
When I first heard of this film, I was both curious and overjoyed. TheNutcracker by ETA Hoffmann is one of my all-time favourite stories yousee, and I am deeply in love with the ballet music by Tchaikovsky.However, when I heard there was 3D I wasn't as enthused. So what weremy overall thoughts after seeing it online? That of bitterdisappointment, that's what.The Nutcracker in 3D isn't without its virtues though. The film isvisually spellbinding with wonderful sets and exquisite costumesparticularly at the beginning and with the snow fairy. Also ElleFanning is very good as Mary, instead of being obnoxious and annoying,she is heartfelt and believable.However, I wasn't so taken with the effects, which brings me to a pointI made earlier. I think the 3D was unnecessary to be honest. When Ithink of The Nutcracker, 3D is the last thing you expect. Sadly, itwasn't that good, it needed more clarity and sharpness and distractedrather than enhanced.I also had mixed feelings on the songs. The music itself isoutstanding, well it is Tchaikovsky what do you expect, with elegantand poignant melodies. The problem lay in the lyrics, even for Tim Ricethey were really quite dull and insipid. The only songs that didn'tleave me completely cold were My Secret World-while too short themelody based on the beautiful and nostalgic 2nd movement of the 5thsymphony was amazing- and The Rat King's song which was quite wacky.My main problems though with the film were with the story, writing andacting, also with the direction. Andrey Konchalovskiy said he hadwanted to do this project for years, somehow that fact didn't comethrough loud and clear enough. The action is also very clumsy, and thepacing is much too rushed. Consequently the story instead of magicaland charming like it promised with a touch of darkness and austerity toemphasize the reality is convoluted and messy particularly when thefilm's tone shifts, while the script especially with Uncle Albert andthe "Nazi rats" is terrible with no sense of wonder or care.The acting on the whole is pretty dire, which is very disappointingconsidering how good the cast looked on paper. Fanning of course givesa great performance, which is more than I can say for her co-stars whoeither give up half-way through or come across as wasted talent. NathanLane in particular tries hard but his spirited performance is hamperedseverely by the film's worst dialogue and the patchy accent. JohnTuturo, with a David Bowie-like wig, fares a little better but doesverge on overracting. It is not entirely his fault as the script letshim down terribly making him come across as cartoony. Likewise withFrances DeLa Tour. I liked the Snow Fairy though, she was beautiful andsuitably mysterious. Shirley Henderson is okay as Nutcracker, but Ididn't find Nutcracker heroic enough, and the message seemed tooriginate from Uncle Albert rather than Nutcracker here. Worst is thePrince, his wooden acting makes marionettes more animated. At the endof the day, I only cared character-wise for Mary.Also, I think the film is 15 minutes too long. The Nutcracker worksbetter in my view as a 75 minute film, because of the length there wasa lot of filler that perhaps didn't need to be there. I wish to saybefore I am told I am being unfair that I am well aware this was anuntold story. Also I didn't mind whether it was the story or not, solong as it stuck with its charm and magic. And that was my main problemwith The Nutcracker in 3D, it didn't do that. I didn't think much ofthe title either, something like Nutcracker:The Untold Story would havebeen much more fitting.Overall, in my personal opinion The Nutcracker in 3D is this year'sbiggest disappointment. It had all the ingredients for a worthwhileChristmas cracker, but it came across as rather charmless family farewith a convoluted story, poor acting on the whole and the unnecessaryinclusion of 3D. 3/10 for the production values, Tchaikovsky's musicand Elle Fanning, and I also think if Hoffmann or Tchaikovsky werealive to see this they would ask for a letter of apology.

Excellent Christmas fare for children
Entertaining film for children. I will not allow political prejudicesto cloud my feelings about this film. The principal characters andtheir dialogue is easy to follow for children, costumes are colorfuland location/scenery is pleasant. All pluses for children. If you arelooking for period ballet sequences, you should not view. Again, thisfilm is most agreeable to children - all my grandchildren enjoyed thisfilm, and have asked to view it more than once. My only regret is thatI should have waited until December to allow the young ones to viewthis Christmas theme.Don't allow the distraction of others with political agendas toinfluence your decision to allow children to enjoy this excellent work.

Underrated movie
This movie is not as bad as many critics say. "The Nutcracker" was madefor children and I think this film was OK for this age group. What didyou expect? It has good special effects which were beautiful in 3D andan interesting storyline based on the famous tale by E.T.A. Hoffmann.The screenplay of this movie is very good, although it doesn't bringanything new to the famous story (from new, only the annoying characterUncle Albert played by Nathan Lane). Development of the plot doesn'tcontain any unexpected turns, and sometimes it's pretty boring, but Ican't deny that the movie is quite lovely. Of course, "The Nutcracker" isn't perfect. Weak acting by Elle Fanningspoils many parts of this film. Dumb jokes are highly annoying andmoreover they are obsolete.Also, plot has some holes, for example,chemistry between Mary and Nutcracker is stupid and unnecessary.Andrei Konchalovsky is a writer of some wonderful movies like "AndreiRublyov" and "Bondage of Love" but his latest works as a director arenot exceptional. "The Nutcracker" isn't his best film but not theworst. Normal Christmas movie which can entertain kids but not adults.

will make you nuts. . .
One of the worst movies I have seen in the recent times. Usually iwould try to find some good point in a movie, but no matter how I crack(no wonder I just watched nutcracker!) my head . . . nothing. Well, Ido not want to take the credit away from the character of Mary, whichwas the only respite due to which at least I am rating 2 out of 10.When you go for such movies usually plot is not up for critical review,but this movie beats the lowest of the standards. Music is terrible,actors (except Elle) are worse, the flow of the movie allows anybody tokeep jumping out for some popcorn. One might expect at least some 3Deffects to feel compensated for the time, but clearly the movie (exceptfor the first few scenes) are much late adaptation for 3D and literallymakes you feel cheated. Usually, such movies that are targeted towardsyounger audiences manage extra chuckles from the young ones in thetheater, but this movie succeeded in getting yawns from them!.

Awful.
Even the kids hated it. At end daughter asked if we could put it in therubbish. I wanted to stop watching by halfway. Holocaust themes, dark and violent for younger children, and lots ofrat teeth.To be fair, make-up and costumes were alright plus Elle Fanning isgorgeous and a talented actress but even as the main redeeming featureshe was unable to support this holocaust-themed bastardisation of aballet. Tim Rice may be good at lyrics but the breaks into song wereun-natural and whole thing forced, boring and dreary. Composers wouldbe turning in their graves. I truly hope I never watch this again!

What where they thinking!!!
I'm sure there's been the occasional viewer that wonders why I do getso angry about movies sometimes. Well, films are something that I'mvery passionate about, every movie that I've seen goes from that ispraised with comments or hate with every cell of my brain.And speaking of the literal Devil, we have ourselves "The Nutcracker in3D"!!!...This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen!!!! First of all,Anderi Konchalovsky directed this crap! He previously directed "RunawayTrain" and the TV-movie "The Odyssey". I can't accept this!!! How isthat possible that he went from a groundbreaking movie and a cultfantasy film to This?!?What's the point on making a movie with Nazi Rats (They are Mice in theoriginal story, you idiots!!!) that burn toys like how they did to theJews?!?OK, if Konchalovsky wanted to make a despotic movie with Nazisrepresented like greedy rats and other political animal-alike allusionsthat's OK! It's interesting! ...But leave the classic story of theNutcracker alone!!!It would be like... If I make a movie about the tale of Aladdin, whereAladdin is Obama, Jafar is a Bin Laden, Agrabah a New York-alike citydestroyed by terrorist attacks and The Genie be an incarnation of UncleSam! Oh, and all this weird despotic crap pretended to be a "kidsmovie". No!No!No!!! That's not how it works!!! I'll describe the twoscenes that mostly offended me: the Rat King, after performing abad-choreographed musical number, kills a shark inside a tank byelectrocuting it with a light!!! The second one, the Rat King suddenlyrips off the head of a living Drummer Boy with bare hands and for a fewseconds he plays volleyball with his Nazi-soldiers using the head ofthe poor guy and than replace it and act like nothing happened! Youknow, for KIDS!But of course, these are the images that comes to your mind when youthink of the Nutcracker! ...Nazi creatures that burn toys, kill sharksand play volleyball with the head of their victims HELLO?!?The movie is an awful waste of money and talent(...If there wasANY!!!), and it sucks balls because for the unappealing Nazicharacters, the awful 3D effect and for turning Tchaikovsky's musicinto horrendous songs that makes "Marry the Mole" look like BohemianRhapsody!!!And I'm not the only person who thinks this "movie" in an abomination:0% on Rotten Tomatoes! And Roger Ebert said: "The Nutcracker in 3D isone of those rare holiday movies that may send children screaming undertheir seats." In fact, no kid went to see this movie! The Nutcraker in3D was a giant NUT-BOMB at the box office!!!This movie is one of those rare movies that can insult the intelligenceof Anybody. Do not watch it.

What is a waste of time? To watch any movie with a rigid mindset
Yeah, reallyThe Hoffman's classic is for the first time in hi-tech style (and insome pseudo 3D), with Tchaikovsky and even Dr. Albert. One would bepleased to see the favourite story albeit in a new rendition, but... You can't please them all. One says "too rush", another "too slow". Onesays "music is nice", another "dumb music" (meaning Tchaikovsky,perhaps). And so on.Cutting long story short, people with mechanical mindsets do alwayswant a wetter water. Ratdogs certainly do not like toys...

Attention to detail please
I saw this movie with my wife and daughter (7) in America recently, weare from Ireland. We were excited to go and see it as it is the onlystory written in which my daughter name is used. Unfortunately we werevery disappointed when we realized the main characters name was changedto Mary. In the original story and ballet the little girl's name is'Clara', in future productions please pay attention to the smalldetails. As for the movie it was entertaining the story follows theballet version to a point but is let down by the lack of music. Themain focus seemed to be placed on the special effects in which the NutCracker and Clara are transported to the princes world, The Rat Kingplayed by John Turturro was well done he is a very fine actor. Themake-up on the rats and the rat king was more akin to 'The Grinch'movie starring Jim Carrey than something more original. What was goodwas the color used, the sets and the overall production it had theChristmas feel to some degree. The movie unfortunately is let down bythe lack of music, the acting and particularly the connection betweenClara and the Nut Cracker. Overall this movie is not great.

Not perfect but enjoyable
I watched this movie several times in spite of some very negativereviews. I must say some, not all of the criticism is valid.I think Charlie Rowe is superb. His facial expressions and bodylanguage are right on and not over acted. They range from amazed joy toquiet reminiscence as well as outright dejected disbelief. I felt everyone of his emotions with one look at his face. Now try and tell me thatisn't acting. On the other hand the Snow Fairy, all be she verybeautiful, was rather flippant and maybe even glib. Probably becauseher lines could have been phrased better. All the other characters werebelievable and enjoyable in their own ways. Except for my personaldislike for Uncle Albert's fronts to the audience. Just my personalpreference, you are welcome to enjoy them.Apparently the movie was not shot in 3D but enhanced in postproduction. As far as I am concerned that was a waste of good money.Even if some of it may have been spent in Vancouver Canada. (I knowsome VFX was done here. Whether for the 3D or not I don't know.)Perhaps movies originally shot in 3D would come across more natural.It is obvious a lot of the movie is on the cutting room floor. If thisever comes out in DVD I hope they publish the full director's version.If they do I will definitely pay premium price to add this to mycollection.Will I see it again? Yes, if it ever comes here again. Love the kids,the Rat King's antics, his Mother's expressions and the ending.
