An absolute classic...mostly!
This will always be one of my favourite albums, always fun and memorable, featuring Meat Loaf's best known songs.


The songwriting from Jim Steinman is outstanding, and the music always has a great amount energy, whether the song is fast or slow.

For me personally, the only track that lets the album down is "Paradise by the Dashboard Light", which starts off fine, but is ruined at the point Ellen Foley comes in. Foley herself is not to blame, but at this point the song becomes repetitive and silly, particularly the part with the baseball commentary running through "bases".

What a beautiful ending to a seemingly tragic story. I was happy to see Lauren finally get her happily ever after. Her journey was an emotional one, filled with turmoil and heart ache, but she got the love she deserved. Honestly, the only thing I was even remotely disappointed about was the lack of Cal's personality Chris kept. What's that say about me?! Thankfully Lauren was able to get through to Cal before he ruined everyone's lives - the truth behind what happened was so awful and sick, I can't completely fault him for repressing it. It's nice to know that Lauren and Chris, along with Cal and sometimes Collin, will live happily ever after with Caylen.

I was ready to walk out in the first 10-15 minutes. I thought they had ruined it and I would be better not to stay and watch the rest. I am glad i did stay, the film got better and better.
Will Smith did an amazing job with the character of the genie, and my favourite part by far was the prince Ali song. The rest of the film was very similar to the original animation, the main difference being Jasmine. This version seemed to focus a lot on Jasmine's political standing, more than the original. I think this has developed the story further than it was, in a positive way.
