I've seen the movie at our theater in LSL. The next day, I saw the movie in Leesburg. No comparison in the experience as the Leesburg theater is so immersive with their huge screen.
The movie? OMG........so absolutely FANTASTIC!!! Spielberg is the master.

Spielberg is a master.
Do wish they provided subtitles when the actors spoke Spanish. Will have to try the theater in Leesburg. |

Must admit I liked the original better, but Spielberg's version was excellent.

You will certainly enjoy the movie so much more on a much bigger screen as you get comfy in those easy chairs with a blanket on your lap. Sublime!

I like the realism of the story and the characters in this new film. The fact that these characters have so much more depth than the 1961 version is one reason why I enjoy Spielberg's film. I realize also that the coloring of the 1961 version is more cartoonish and "in your face". There is such a difference with modern cinematography vs what was put on the can 60 years ago. I truly appreciate the talent of the actors in this new film and Spielberg's vision with camera angles and setting up a scene are unmatched and don't compare with the Robert Wise produced film.

I could never get past the scene where the guy is standing in the middle of Spanish Harlem, and calls out "Maria!"...

Well, you'll be happy to learn that they are closing the theaters in the Villages. You can take the MMP out to Leesburg and see all the movies you want!

Loved Spielberg's West Side Story. The Leesburg Lake Square Mall's AMC (that's the only movie theater in Leesburg) has been our choice for years. It's so much better than the Villages theaters. All comfy recliners, great concessions including a bar,, bigger screens (some of the 12 theaters there have bigger screens than others) etc. And with A-list you can see up to three movies per week for $23 a month at any AMC; free advanced reserved seating. Etc.
Plus, going to the mall - even though it's not a huge mall -!gets us out of the house to a place where we can walk, browse etc or do other errands along the way, when it's cold, rainy or hot. Sometimes we see a movie, walk, do errands or go eat at one of the many nearby restaurants, and return for a second movie. AMC/the mall saved us during the worst of the pandemic; they became a comforting, familiar refuge of normalcy in a crazy world.
