It’s interesting not all the women are in dresses either. Cant wait to see this. I’m ready to love both the original and the update

[Eph_Wilson]

Just saw the movie - Anita’s actress deserves an Oscar nom.

[garyschwartz]

It is a masterpiece! They gave 90year old Rita Moreno the most important song in the film and she was amazing. If your heart is not in your throat several times during this film, then you may have no soul.

This is such a throwback to the old school movie musicals like Singing in the Rain, Music Man, “7 Brides…”, etc. and I love it!

We are living in Ariana DeBose’s world and I’m perfectly okay with that.

What a queen. 👑

[t.e.burgos]

Ariana DeBose is just mesmerizing in this number. And that fricking dress is so GORGEOUS (she looks like a dancing flower).

This movie does not dishonor the original but is like being reacquainted with an old friend who awaits you with open arms and after spending time with them you realize your love is even stronger now. It was like watching the original on steroids. Words can't describe my feelings for this picture. This was like Hollywood back in my day with a musical at its best. And in Dolby it was pure Heaven. Loved it!

[colleenmahony]

It. Was. Fabulous.
Visually, emotionally and sonically fabulous. There's always a fear that the classics won't be done well or respected, but this was an amazing, enthralling, soon-to-be classic movie. Seriously, go see it.

I always liked Riff and Anita more than any other characters.

[Jtredt]

I'm certain once this movie hits streaming, it will recoup any money lost in theaters. This film was truly mesmerizing. A must see Classic!!!

[zZAD]

This movie is an instant classic.
Steven Spielberg never dissapoints.

[makreacts]

[tommyleemaddox]

Bernstein was a genius. His music simply transcends.

[heiheireidee]

SO MUCH LOVE FOR ANITA, SHE'S THE BEST

[dml]

Saw it and loved it. Spielberg still has his magic touch.

[simoneannika]

Saw it the other day. I cried my eyes out.

Just watched this movie and it was great!!!. I enjoyed the original West Side Story and this New Version from one of my favorite produces Steven Spielberg was definitely not disappointing. Living in New York in the 60s in the South Bronx it brought about a lot of memories as I remember playing stick ball in a dead end street, between several 6 story buildings and using the parked vehicle fenders and bumpers as baseball bases. The soft balls bouncing off the tall 6 story structures as we would run at full speed to catch the ball before it dropped to the floor, sometimes we would dangerously launching over obstacles to make the catch(DOM LOL) but fun. I want to give the movie a plus as there were no Spanish Captions on screen when the actors spoke in Spanish(WOW). The actors Latino NY PR cultural genre was of what I remember growing up hearing with friends and family, that almost made it feel a private joke for those in the audience like myself that spoke both English and Spanish and understood the comical language that was used at the time (60s and 70s). Fell in love Rachel Zegler a mix Hispanic actress and soon to be a "STAR"... The movie was funny, entertaining, romantic and full of energy. Would definitely recommend to see. (A+)

It's amazing how a film about love can trigger so much hate. Someone said that would happen. Thousands of years may pass but somethings never change. Merry Christmas everyone.

[MadameCorgi]

Ariana did so well as Anita. I believe they standout performer in the film

[redfirefixfox]

I can’t wait to see it when it comes out! I was lucky enough to be able to see it live and I’m really excited to see what they did with the new movie, even though I’m not a fan of Ansel Elgort.
