West Side Story ( Spielberg 2021)

Yo SPOILER that WTF?!

Don't worry, there are no spoilers for West Side Story. And there's only so much that they can change from the plot. It's a romance story that developed between 2 warring factions. There's only 1 way it can end.

Just didn't need specifics like that beforehand.

I never saw it. I just know it is about competing gangs and takes place in NYC. I stopped reading your post when it got too informative so no foul.

it's basically romeo and juliette, that's why we had to watch that shyt in school

In the Heights. NYC set musicals both featuring Latinos heavy.

This might've hurt it the most.

In The Heights didn't do that great on its own, how is pretty much the same thing supposed to do better? Remake or otherwise?

Sharks and Jets? FOH. Nobody can make that shyt not corny.

Two different types of movies
Only surface comparisons

I thought the same thing, but shyt is legit. Not going to lie some of it is corny, but it doesn't distract from the overall story

I thought Steven's take on this, stands right there with the play andoriginal movie. In some ways better because the movie isn't held back by the racism of the 50's and 60's.

Too bad this movie came out a week before Spidey 3.

I hated this. Its obvious Spielberg put a lot of love into it though. Nice costumes and dancing. Didn't care for the songs though and I usually love musicals.

Spoiler

Not a fan of microwave romance. Girl meets an ex-con, falls in love with him in less than a day. He kills her brother and she sleeps with him anyway because love conquers all? What an unbelivable crock of shyt. Maria is an a$$hole. The only person I liked was Anita. I don't understand how people can call this the greatest love story when the "love" was so ridiculous its beyond credibility.

It’s based on Romeo And Juliet

Isn't ironic you like musicals but hated this movie, but I dislike musicals and loved this movie. Lol

It's odd that you are musical fan but didn't like the songs in West Side Story since these songs are considered some of the best in all musical theater.
Ever.
I mean its Bernstein and Sondheim music.
