West Side Story Review

37 Comments

1. Not wanting to sound to woke, but this is just so tacky as Puerto Rico is has been laid to waste by disaster and has had so little help for America. They still can't even vote like a normal state, despite how many of their people have died for the US as soldiers. UNLESS Spielberg plans to GIVE ALL THE PROFITS of this to help Puerto Rico and/or P.R. Descendants, this IS IN FACT SHAMEFUL Cultural Appropriation and Profiteering.

2. Nothing beats the original

3. I’m so confused by the “woke” comments, You realize it’s a story about Puerto Ricans, so there’s going to be Spanish spoken and latino characters.
   What’s your alternative, white actors playing Latino characters?

4. Looks lame.

5. If anyone can beat the original, it's Steven freakin Spielberg

6. Spielberg just cant resist those white guilt flicks

7. Sure, buddy

8. This looks like a snooze fest 😴

9. What was the last 10 you gave?

10. How original…. I'm sure the reviews were just as rave 500 years ago when Shakespeare first dropped it

11. Wonder how it ends lol

12. If a movie has singing and dancing, it get an amazing 0 out of 10 & IGN just gets less respect again!

13. Idk man, it is pretty freaking hard to beat the original. Sometimes, classics should be just left alone.

14. Me Before the verdict was shown.
    Please don't be 7
    Please don't be 7
    Yes it's not 7!!!!!! 😭🤣

15. 5/10 too many Puerto Ricans

16. Are people really complaining about West Side Story being woke?

17. It really boggles my mind to hear or read from people that this is a remake of the 1961 movie.

    IT IS NOT!!!

    It’s another adaptation of Arthur Laurents Book and the 1957 Broadway stage play. Like Phantom Of The Opera, Les Miserables, Romeo & Juliet, Moulin Rouges, Chicago, Beauty And The Beast, Pinokkio and many other theater musicals and plays (Hamlet, Merchant Of Venice, Henry IV etc) have been adapted on film, in worldwide cinema and TV, countless of times so is WSS.

18. Never watch remakes.

19. My literature teacher had us watch the original because we were reading Romeo and Juliet at the time and it is pretty much a knockoff of that story

20. This movie looks visually amazing.

21. Well great now that Steven is done with this he can begin work on creating that Blackhawks movie for DC

22. Even with the notoriety of the original, this is probably not going that much money in cinema today, since it's not a Superhero film. Sad but true lol.

23. looks woke af

24. Let's just give it a 0

25. This review is weird. Assuming everyone knows the original … maybe assume that we haven't so your review isn't a smattering of names that means nothing to anyone who is unfamiliar with the source material.

26. No Sydney Goodman? Cancel IGN!

27. More woke nonsense

28. There is anyone astro aroha!!💜

29. Astro aroha 💜💜💜

30. At lease it’s not cats

31. Disgusting woke.

32. Not woke enough for 10? Sad.

33. Ansel elgort is Armie Hammer 2.0

34. It's not a 7 everyone 😱

35. 9/10

36. ”Congrats to everyone who is early and who found this comment!"🏆
