The Color Purple

I didn't know what to expect but I left around 20 minutes into it. I've never left a movie before but badly executed movie. there were people sleeping, on there phone, talking. we weren't the only ones walking out. we followed people out.

EXCELLENT! Wake up call for women ABUSE is not to be tolerated. Reminder young girls become strong women. The acting was superb all the talent singing dancing and a must see film.

Best movie ever

Great acting! Exceeds the first one. Full house in the theater even into the weekend I'm told. I see why.

Great All around acting. Would see it again

Love it was different than 1985 I mean I enjoy the singing and music with dancing and watching other people's faces it was good I will buy the musical when it comes out congratulations Cast members Well Done

Man blaming garbage.

Excellent all around acting, singing, dancing story is strong and message loud and clear abuse is not to be tolerated . A Must See film for sure.

Would have been better without the song and dance numbers; a real opportunity was wasted.

The choreography of the dance performances and singing was excellent !!! Each actor gave 110% in this movie .

The music wasn't good, should have left the original stand on its own. They Just want to profit from a classic..

The movie was creative with the dancing and singing. I fell in love with the women in the movie. I felt sad, sorry and happy with these women. I cried in the middle of the movie hoping that Cecei would find her sister and her children. I did not realize the movie was a musical and enjoyed the happiness in the movie. This happiness challenged the sorrow in this movie..I loved this movie!

I am a HUGE fan of the original movie and was Leary of a new version. Although I still prefer the original, Danielle Brooks put a modern twist on Sophia and Fantasia made me look at Celie through a different lens. The direction and writing was superb.I left feeling hopeful and happy.

left after first 15 minutes

Some woman behind me snored through the second half of the movie. That pretty much says it all. Disappointed

I love musicals, but the songs in this movie sound as if a 10 year old wrote them. They aren't even songs. No melodies, juvenile lyrics and no bridges or hooks. The non musical parts were very good with excellent acting. I liked the original very much, but this version just doesn't cut it.

It was good, but so hard to watch all the abuse. Thought it would be a little more light hearted, being a musical this time around.

Taraji P. Henson friggin rocks.

This Broadway version is much better than the original. Musicians and dancers were very talented. Story about women standing up to abuse from men was timely but it moved along too slowly.

Great job to all for this fantastic musical dancers dream of The Color Purple reimagined. Adjusted just enough without taking too much away from the original!!! ??

This is better than the original movie. Kudos to the director and cast members who put their all into this Great Movie.

I knew I was in trouble , by the 4th, the lame song ,in 7 minutes , I just could not , stylized dance number with chain gang pick exes , breaking sand ??? All the main characters looked 40 and a little mentally challenged . The church scene, had everyone in great period , well staged costumes , it seemed they were elevating the black experience . I have heard of white washing history , is this Black washing .?? Hiper , to frenetic , over the top , jiving boar-dame.The worst no , disappointed yes .

The first one was better but THIS was AMAZING.

The hole movie.i like everything about this movie.5 stars

I kept falling asleep, and I wasn’t tired!

WOW! Better than original. Hard to put in words, a must see film very powerful. Bring tissues for tears of joy.

I loved the remake of the movie with superb acting and dancing. A must-see tear-jerker.

We have come a long way in actuality. Shear entertainment Good casting strong dancers full house in theaters no surprise there 😀

Close to the original story line with modern updates! Acting and dancing was exceptional! A story of love, redemption and forgiveness. Loved it!

Acting was terrific! Excellent singing did not want to leave my seat! Message to women of all color abuse is not o.k. you must not live with it. Story has a good ending will bring you to tears. People do turn their lives around. was it God or that she cursed him???

Degrading

Awesome movie....Definitely a must see

couldn't keep my eyes open
