I disagree. From the start of the film to the end it was clear that the filmmakers were going all out with what they wanted for the film. There were acrobat girls shown hanging from the 3rd storey fire escape and I'm not sure if they used body doubles for when the actors rode that dangerous-looking autocopter, so making the climax to scare the audience (AND CARE FOR ANNIE) was logical. Even if you thought it was unnecessary, you have to admit the actors had guts to pull off those stunts! We're not even sure whether they had harnesses or not. In an interview Aileen Quinn said that they made her climb the replica of the bridge in the studio that was 200 feet tall! I mean, do you see how bold they were? That was awesome! The actors should have been commended for their stunts too.

I also rated it 10/10.

The production designer for this film was very talented and that's why we got lots of singing, dancing and acrobatics. Loved this movie! The best Annie adaptation ever.

If I were to write the screenplay for the sequel to Annie 1982 (I don't like all the other Annie films, by the way), I would do it this way: FDR asks Oliver and Annie Warbucks to go on a nationwide mission to help the American people through his New Deal. Then her friends Molly, Kate, Tessie, Pepper, Duffy, and July to join her in her travels and they all have a great time. They visit orphanages too and give money or other means of support to those places to help the orphans. Miss Hannigan is a changed woman now and has become the girlfriend of Punjab. Oliver and Grace gets married and Annie is very happy that she now has a mother and father. FDR visits the Supreme Court to defend his New Deal which the justices are saying that it's unconstitutional. A mysterious group of rich people who call themselves "The Wall Street Sinisters" are gatehring in a secret place somewhere in West Virginia plotting against Annie, because they deemed her as "a troublemaker" for supporting FDR's New Deal, which they believe will derail the economy and make things worse. Annie then meets Nikola Tesla when they went back to New York after their first tour in the East Coast United States and hires him to be her science adviser. He made her an electric car a month later and she couldn't be happier about it. Oliver hired 2 new bodyguards to protect Annie as Punjab and The Asp already have their hands full protecting him. Hahaha! Just my wishful thinking.
