Not the world's best musical, but it's definitely up there and makes one jive ^_^ I enjoyed watching the movie somewhat and want to go see the on-stage version now ^_^ My friend and I went to go see the movie last Wednesday 'cause I've been wanting to see it and she wanted to go see it again. The music was just awesome 'cause it's all ABBA ^_^ I was pretty peeved for a good portion of the movie though 'cause I just wanted to know which one of the three was Sophie's father. All the methods they used were kind of dumb, but oh well ^_^; Another thing was that the direction of the movie was just... so-so and the singing was ... somewhat tolerable at times.
I have perfect pitch in my ears for the most part, if I hear something funny, I know that it's not right. Pierce Brosnan is very sexy and I do adore him... but his singing is a total turn-off =_=; He sounded like he was suffering and about to die (no wonder they cut out the other song he sang in). Meryl Streep was good and I liked her, but I kind of prefer the original London cast singer better. The woman who played Tania wasn't too bad though and I liked her acting. Colin Firth sounded a lot like the London cast counterpart and I was pretty impressed with him ^_^
Another thing that kind of got to me was that at times the music would just suddenly explode and start without any warning or lead-in. With other movies on musicals, you'd know when a song was going to start 'cause there's usually some transitional clue, but there were times during this movie where a song would just suddenly explode onto screen and you'd be like O_O? You don't even get a chance to adjust from one thing to the next. It's kind of disjointed, like trying to put a puzzle together with pieces that aren't meant to go together and you just force it to fit =_=; Something like that...
But I enjoyed it for what it's worth. It's not the best musical movie I've seen though the musical itself was enjoyable.
