Fate: The Winx Saga

First off, pros, beautiful cinematography and a captivating storyline. Second, cons, angsty teens with powers run around causing havoc and just being annoying.

Being honest, I expected more of the show honestly, but that doesn't make the show bad, quite the contrary, I really enjoyed it. It resembles very much, the vampire diaries but unfortunately not winx. I loved the cast and their chemistry but I didn't like the fact they cut Tecna and Flora out. I think the show should have at least nine episodes not six 'cause I found the story a little messy but not in a bad way. You should watch it with an open mind because the show has the potencial to be better and improve in a possible second season. Yes, I missed the song and the shiny things but at the final episode we have what we wanted most (you know what). Remember the show can improve and get better. I really waited for so long to watch a live-action winx show and if gets cancelled I would be so disappointed.

A series with mostly average acting, terrible writing, laughable development and just some nice VFX and heart-warming teenish score!

It's so unbelievably bad and shallow that green-lighting a second season of that nonsense is just laughable, while brilliant series get cancelled after the first one.

Be sure that the same acrobatic circus and total nonsense will repeat in season 2.

Watched this with my wife over the past week or so, and it's not too horrible, but there are definitely plot holes and biases. Pretty obvious they made this with a young female demographic in mind. All kinds of diversity on the female casting side, yet the guys are a pretty homogenous set of pretty boys that like to pretend to be strong.

They did their best to fuse a bunch of concepts together. For instance, magic is supposed to manifest around puberty, but they want the school to feel like college, so they compromised and they're all "16", but look 25. They wanted to fuse fantasy elements with modern world, so they have cell phones and military vehicles, but somehow no guns of any kind. M2 would seriously wreck house and I've got to think that'd take the spotlight away from their magical special effects.

Our lead tries to exercise some reasoning to accelerate the story past "naive protagonist stumbles through whatever" but she somehow gets satisfied with only one round of analysis without weighting long-standing bias. For instance, if you implicitly trust a mentor character, and that mentor character has decades of grudge against whatever, how do you not take any precautionary steps to respect that mentor?

No spoilers, but I took a star for the haphazard manner the season finale was handled. Pretty much gives them a mulligan on, well, everything in season one, which is extremely lazy writing.

The movie itself isn't bad but the acting needs improvement. I was annoyed the entire time because they made every single episode and seen revolve around Bloom. I found that to just be biased and undeserving because she literally thought that she was the shxt. I hated how self absorbed she was. There are other actors in the film, you can elaborate on their story as well. Bloom is worn out and just point blank annoying. For the next season shift focus please. I literally kept rolling my eyes everytime I heard her name or she spoke, annoyed I tell ya. She needs to be parked and understand that not everything is about her.
