I created an account for this. I have browsed IMDb for over a decade, I've read countless reviews for movies I've liked and disliked and never felt compelled to say anything, but this is without a doubt the most shameful poorly executed cash grab I have ever seen.
Who is in charge at Disney?! They seriously need to clean house because someone is letting bad product slide through.
The film was shallow, soulless, and poorly acted from the supporting characters. The character development was so glossed over and superficial that you never even developed any feelings for anybody. It felt like a bad episode of goosebumps from the 90's.
Why wouldn't you try to get Kenny Ortega from the original or a team capable of putting something even slightly cinematic together? No one thought to maybe get a better script writer?! Are people scared to say anything in the workplace, because how the hell does this happen? Shame on Disney.
And as a side note, I can't even believe I'm saying this, because I usually roll my eyes at people that say this, but the forced diversity was so obvious and distracting in this that it takes you out of any sense of reality or immersion you feel while watching. I'm pretty sure Salem Massachusetts isn't this bizarre looking melting pot of every race where every other spoken line is said by some other ethnicity. Good god, I've hit a wall with this apparently, it makes me feel cringey and embarrassed for the actors while I'm watching and that's not supposed to be happening. I'm in the lgbt, I'm in part of the pandered to communities and it's not freaking working, it's ruining the product. If someone from Disney reads these reviews please for the love of god, pass this sentiment along, and then promptly fire the people forcing this weird non-organic diversity.
