Usually old movies are mimicked in later movies or television programs to the point that you know what's going to happen and makes the movie blasé. I had not been spoiled for this movie, and I'm so happy I wasn't - I did not see that end coming! A perfect mystery and film noir. Great movie!

I'm sorry, but how can this be ok for children when in the first 5 minutes you have seen two people's bared bottoms? I would never expect that in a Jane Austen adaptation. When I watch JA, I expect it to be on the wholesome side with a little cheekiness, but not literal cheeks! I don't even have kids and I shut it off at that point. I would've been embarrassed to show this to my young nieces; I'm glad I checked it out first. I'm sorry, but IMHO not everything has to be true to life to have value or be entertaining.

I watched it for the music, dancing, and because everyone said it so horrid (including those in it). I didn't care about the CGI (which is creepy at times...wished they'd worn ballet slippers instead of bare feet). I have never seen it on stage. I saw the TV version of the stage version. It bored me to tears. This one actually kept my interest and helped me understand what the plot of the original was. Was it favorite movie, no, but I'd probably watch it again.

Jennifer Hudson was absolutely wonderful!

If it weren't insulting to monkeys, I'd say you've hired monkeys to write this drivel!

Why do you keep ruining story arcs? Do you honestly expect us to believe the Doctor finds out the Master destroyed their home world and she goes on vacation? That instead of finding what the Master was talking about she would give her companions a tongue lashing about climate change? REALLY?

This is like last season when you finally had an interesting baddie in the episode Rosa - a guy who wants to subtlety change history for sonne nefarious reason - but then you never mention him again. I thought there would be a great arc about cleaning up his mess, or at least finding out what his ultimate plan was, but nope. Instead you bring back the tooth fairy warrior who was less interesting than watching paint dry.

And I'm absolutely tired of the weekly civics lessons. This show is supposed be escapism. If I want to know how horrible human beings can be to the planet and each other, I'll just watch these news!

Why do these writers keep ruining perfectly good story arcs? Last week the Master destroyed Gallifrey, and then you give us this garbage? Do you honestly expect us to believe the Doctor wouldn't have been all over figuring out what the hell happened? Instead you have her giving her companions a tongue lashing about climate change! Really? It's like last year's episode about Rosa Parks where you had this guy who was trying to destroy history, which would've made an awesome story arc, but we never heard about him again. Instead you brought back the tooth fairy monster for the season ender, and he was a ridiculously uninteresting baddie to start with! A 5 year old could write better storylines! I'm also tired of the weekly civics lessons! This is supposed to be escapism, not the nightly news!

Just finished watching this on Netflix and am in tears after the cliffhanger. HOW WAS THERE NOT A SEASON 3?? If there is any way to get the same people involved and keep the story writing the same, please bring it back! NETFLIX, just don't do to it like you did Designated Survivor...you ruined that!
