Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
most of the voices were mostly right.
The voices were the major element that kept me from really loving the movie - without Henson and Oz, none of the main cast sound like themselves any more. There's a part of me deep down that views the post-Henson Kermit as an impostor, and I just can't suspend my disbelief fully enough to enjoy him. My Kermit died when Jim Henson did, and you will never convince my lizard brain otherwise.

Because books.
I didn't have a hard time with Kermit, but Fozzie was really off to me a lot of the time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, he does do it, but it's really offscreen. You see him lean down and come up with a bloody mouth. I've already encountered one adult who didn't realise what happened, because they started doing a C-section with a scalpel before they were interrupted, and they thought that was how it was actually done.
I'm still reeling at how bad the makeup is. The men where veritably spackled...I felt disturbed looking at the white (originally 'shite') paint buildup around Edward's nose. And the men who were wearing wigs all looked William-the-pre-bloody-bad, they didn't sparkle *once*! Not one time. However, the CGI when Bella loses weight as Renesmee eats her from the inside was pretty good, a level beyond what anyone else looks like, ever,

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Yeah, I feel the same way about Kermit. Piggy was also off for me.
OTOH, I kind of adore Amy Adams and she should be in everything.

I was DYING laughing during "Party of One" - Amy Adams can do no wrong.

In pure technical terms, I'd say Fozzie and Piggy were the least like their original voices. But Kermit was the most emotionally wrong for me.

Yeah, Fozzie was off, and at least once was so completely off I didn't realize he had spoken, I thought it was someone else.
Still, it was pretty entertaining even if not as wonderful as the original movie.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Perkins and I saw it today!! I was pretty okay with the different voices (kind of have to be, I guess), and I DIED laughing during the chickens' number. DIED.
