Worst movie ever seen all year. All these big names but so disjointed. Don't waste your money.

Was excited to take my daughter to see it since it was from Disney and she is in ballet. All my sister in law and I heard through the most of the movie from the kids was the movie was completely boring and they were ready to go. The only thing that caught their attention was Misty and the clowns.

Took my niece. She's a big fan of the barbie version so I knew she would love this one. She did as expected. Great family movie

This movie focused so much on Clara's mommy issues that it forgot what other characters were for. There was no world building and no actual exploration of the 4 Realms. It was prodictable, sexist against men, and taught the same lesson that Kung Fu Panda did. In fact The Kung Fu Panda was a better Nutcracker than this movie.

Don't look for deep hidden meanings... just enjoy the music, the design work, the fantasy and adventure... we had fun! And stay for the dancing during the credits!

I expected a better plot. It was quite slow in spots and just silly in others. The best parts were Misty Copeland dancing. I left not my usual “Disney impressed” mood.

The movie was cute but I wouldn't go out my way to see it again. The only the thing I truly enjoyed was the music and the ballet dances which was beautiful.

Enjoyed it quite a bit, but it all starts to move pretty quickly before too long. Feels like it could've used probably about 20 more minutes for world-building. Wouldn't have minded that at all.

A weirdly hideous hodgepodge of images and ideas, as convoluted as its confusing title would suggest.

The Nutcracker’s onslaught of wholesomeness also lays waste to anything that might stand in its way, leaving it crushed under the boot heels of its tin soldiers.
