Wicked

I LOVED the books, and I'm not the type where the movie/tv show has to be the same as the book. That being said, the casting right off the bat threw me, but I decided to watch it before letting that sway my opinion. I got maybe two scenes into the first episode before I had to pause it, collect my thoughts, and force myself to finish watching.

The acting makes me think that these people didn't really understand the characters. I didn't get 'cheese' when I read the book, but boy oh boy am I lactose intolerant now.

I'll finish the show more out of curiosity than enjoyment.

God forbid I mention critiques to the zealots...bring on the pitchforks...so I'll leave my review here.

I dont think this movie it has bad has the reviews, yes it has problems but i think it was about money, this fantasy movies need money to make cool effects and even do i think Tink was really well made other effects not so much , the actors are good, some lines are not the best,the make up could have been better, the actress was not rocking the red hair, the tattoos looked cheap , but i think if this movie had more money they could have fix all of it, i do hope they make the rest of the series and explained more about this world, it was interesting.

Like I appreciate it stayed true to the books, and stuff but like. If you didn't read the books you'd be lost on what is going on in many scenes. And like some scenes from the book were great but rushed in the film that it was like, you should've just cut that scene out and spent more time on more important scenes. Also. The acting. I'm sorry. I wanted to love it. But it was so brutal and cheesy. And I've seen some of these actors in other things before so like nothing against the actors. But. I really tried.... I did sort of like it.... I liked Ivy and Ren.

I didn't read the books beforehand, so for me the casting felt absolutely perfect! I love to see small-budget movies just because they introduce fresh faces, and this one didn't disappoint at all!

That being said, I understand this was the director's first feature directorial debut, so many things need polishing if she plans to direct the future installments too. The transition and backstory of the main characters could've been built better, the attraction felt rushed and not spontaneous. The action-scenes need to feel more realistic. However, kudos to the director for so many critical things like action and CGI in her first feature project.

Acting-wise, I believe Liam is better than Anna. Nonetheless, for acting in a movie with lots of action sequences, they simply needed more rehearsal and clarity of their respective characters.

Lastly, this is a passionflix production, so director, could you please give us more of that amazing chemistry? I felt I couldn't get enough of these two!!

Overall, not the best passionflix production, but definitely one of the good ones :)

Let's start of with THE ACTING, definitely some good moments where if you were to show clips to someone, they'd think none of it. However, definitely some cringe bad moments which looked like the actors themselves felt awkward acting out 😂 Female actor had the best moments because of the emotions she was able to portray; when she was talking about her past.

Now although the movie is cringe, the movie is not all bad but I actually rlly like the storyline. I do wish the scenes of the two main characters telling their back story was shown properly but I understand the budget is not high for this film but the storyline itself is there so yeah I do believe the trilogy had potential to do well if made again with a bigger budget and perhaps a lesser cringe take at it as to keeping the romantic corny words to a minimum and show emotions in a more natural way.
