Jennifer Hudson needs a tissue to wipe the snot that trickles down into her mouth as she sings Memories. Very off-putting. Judi dench looked like the lion from Wizard of oz and I'm sorry to say she must get her teeth sorted. She is one of my favourite actresses and Ian McKellen was the best. Continuity was bad. And if you didn't know the story, like me, it was not clear and seemed a very weak plotline.
And what can I say about Idris Elba. He was good with great eyes but I didn't know where to look when he took his coat off! Even without his 'bits' he was outstandingly gorgeous. I was so mesmerized by the costumes or lack of, perhaps that's why I just didn't find the storyline clear enough. I must concentrate more. No, this was an expensive movie and should have been better.
