Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, but because it wasn't exactly like the first film, how can you give it one star? I was disappointed but not surprised. But the cinematography and the special effects were fun. There were some very nice production numbers. Miranda and Blunt are accomplished theater and screen presences. Songs take time to get traction. I don't know if any of them is going to be stuck in one's head, but they were well written. I can think of two that have very nice lyrics. The plot was predictable and rather stodgy. How could it end any other way. I thought that Colin Firth was wasted. He was hardly on screen and didn't really pose much of a threat. Yes, Disney goes for the lowest common denominator, but it wasn't horrible.
