The Sound of Music Audience Reviews

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Davis P The Sound of Music (1965) is an all time classic family musical that has always been one of my favorites. Ever since I was child, I would watch this movie and just love every minute of it. This movie really was destined for greatness from the beginning, anyone at all could have seen that. Between the A list cast, great performances, top notch singing, and the enchanting story.... there's no wonder people still love it to death. Julie Andrews stars as Maria, who is a nun, but not a very good one, and she gets sent to be a governess to the Von Trapp family. The Von Trapp family is a very well to do family in Austria. The father is a former captain and the mother died some time ago. Christopher Plummer plays captain Von Trapp, and he does a great job. Every member of the cast does a great job with their performances, both singing and non. The singing alone in this film is just astounding, every single musical number is just as good, if not better than the previous one. If you do not care for musicals, then I wouldn't really suggest this movie to you. It really is a lot of singing, but it is great singing by talented artists, which is really why it will forever have a place in classic great cinema. 10/10 for The Sound of Music. Enchanting story with lovely entertaining music.
scrwrrd I like music. Crassics, pops, rocks and more. I also like playing the instruments and singing song. Anyways, I love music! So I like this movie so much. story is good, of course, but I think that good points of this movie are music. In this movie, many famous musics plays. I think the movie is masterpiece. I like Sixteen Going On Seventeen. This song is so cute and it is the best of songs in the movie. I watched this movie when I was a high school student at first time. I played Sound of Music Medley in regular concert of my club activity(wind orchestra) in high school. Music make the world to peace. This movie will makes us happy. I want to see this movie again,now.
beresfordjd I really hate this film with it's saccharine sweet heroine and drippy kids. Christopher Plummer is beyond hateful and the whole shebang has these dreadful songs most of which Andrews sings as though presenting an elocution lesson. How it became the most watched and successful movie of its time is astonishing. Stories of numpties who have seen it 3,000,000 times at the cinema and love it more than life is really puzzling. I always wanted the Nazis to find them and incarcerate them somewhere dreadful and do terrible things to them because they were so sickeningly sweet. Julie Andrews hated the image that she became stuck with after TSOM and May Poppins but more fool her for even doing such dross.
Miguel Neto The Sound of Music is another great classic of the 60s, the film is based on real events , has a good script , the cast is excellent, Julie Andrews is excellent, and Christopher Plummer is great as always , the film is well directed the photography is excellent, the first few minutes which show the high mountains and there appears the character of Julie Andrews singing and dancing is remarkable , the songs are very good , younger actors are very good, the film could be shorter in my opinion three hours was too much, because I found the slow pace , over who is a lover of the musical genre that is not my case , will not see the time pass more in my opinion two and half hours was enough , the Sound of Music is one of the best musicals of all time , with an excellent photo and fine performances . Note 8.6
