    I saw this the other day and it was pretty bad. I liked the beginning part but once it got to the Nutcraker world it was just a mess. Not surprised it is not doing great.  As said above the problem is not feminism (actually it is really stupid if you think that is the problem) but just that the movie is baaaad.

    It's a wrong story to try that spin and therefore all problems that the movie has stem from that major change. it's a fairytale romance about a girl and a prince whom she saved from a curse or something. that's how it's known in the ballet and in the story. They decides to change that into, oh noes, it's not the nutcracker who's the prince but the girl is a secret queen of 4 realms that needs to take destiny into her own hands and learn to be the leader and someshit. Again, fine if you don't call it Nutcracker.

  2. Nutcracker is a famous romance so who the fuck thought it was a good idea to turn it onto a movie that's anything but? Based on reviews and spoiler from The Movie Spoiler, this is like Tumblr feminism - girl is empowered only when she needs no man. Well, that's fine and dandy but why make a Nutcracker movie about empowered girl who needs no man when you can make, I dunno, Nancy Drew or something or a brand new character? Imagine what a fiasco BatB would have been if there was no romance. or ASIB.

    I never understood what some people reproached to John Carter, I really liked this movie. It seemed to be very close to Star Wars in terms of quality, even better than the second trilogy!

     

     

    For me, it was overall blandness of the story and characters. It wasn't a bad movie, it just didn't stand out from the pack cause the story is literally the basis for all space operas and some fantasy work too. Yet the writer and director did nothing to make it feel its own.
