Magic Kids

All six stars fod the special effects. The rest felt cringeworthy as few elements resemples of that in Harry Potter. I think the acting would be appreciated if there's no dubbing.

A solid movie with magic sprinkled in for the 7 to 10 audience, plus an added coat of slapstick and cringe jokes. If Rowling sued for infringement on her Potter books, i am not 100% sure she would lose that case.

This is an adaptation of one of Wolfgang Hohlbein books, and there is four others about this world alone, as he have written over 200 fantasy books, i am happy his books finally end up as movies, but instead of wasting so much time on quirky humor and cringe moment, this movie had been better by chisel out more of the world they live in.

We see very little of the side characters, and the school in general. They make a huge deal of the main characters different weaknesses and how they have to overcome them, when they all can get rid of them at the nearest place that sell medicine, for cheap, btw, as this is in Europe.

In the end it is hard to figure out what they wanted the movie to be, to few jokes to be a comedy, not enough happening for it to be action, no romance or development of feelings for a family movie, a couple of riddles is also not enough to make it a mystery movie - in the end, it is ( perhaps due to low budget ?) a movie where some stuff happens. Even the big finale is kind of , meh.

If you babysit children age 5 - 10, this is perfect to make them sit still for 90 minutes, the rest of us kan skip it without thinking we have missed something.

Action, fantasy, comedy, surprises... What more is needed? Entertaining.

The acting was far from convincing, the English dubbing voices are HILARIOUSLY bad. The story is predictable, the plot very generic. The worst thing is the acting and the cast. The only decent acting was done by the witch, but that's about it. It feels like a movie made on a high school classroom budget.

Horrible dubbing! I would rather read the books, then, the only lips moving will be mine and in sync with the book! 🤣 If the dubbing and acting was better then I could see it being a cool movie. The one boy, (the redhead) his dubbed voice is horrible. Other movies with dubbing and acting are worthy, not this one.
