Initial thoughts on "Annie" (Don't read this if you didn't see it)

WARNING
Don't read this if you didn't see it and want to. I spoil stuff...

So, it's nearly 12:45am, Friday into Saturday morning and I'm just getting in from seeing the new "Annie" movie.

First thoughts:
1.  Enjoyed it.
2.  Liked the modern elements in it - not just Will's home, but the use of social media to find Annie
3.  Not sure what the term/concept is, but didn't really like how the lip syncing was infused. However it was edited, it sounded "too studio" (whatever the concept/terminology is)
4.  Was glad the conflict of Annie's illiteracy was resolved. I watched carefully for that resolution. I must say, the public school advocacy in me thought that they were going to put a "public school is inferior to charter school" twist to it.

Of course this movie didn't come without its controversies!

My initial thoughts on that? For this new "Annie" movie, starring a young African American female, I would have liked to see a young African American female model the apparel. Period. No question.

I'm sure I have more thoughts on "Annie", but those are my first thoughts!
Good Night!

A "P.S." thought - I Googled "Annie" to look for some pics. Now I don't know a lot, but I do know there is a way to manipulate which images appear first. Despite the new movie's release, the images from the 1982 Annie still appear first. Just an observation.
