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.

It was exactly like the book , ok the CGI could be better but I liked the scene with Tink and Ren it was funny , the actors could be different more like the characters in the book and more experienced cause they were some scenes that the actors didn't feel it and the scenes lost the point , but it was a good low budget movie.

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.

The casting was excellent, the CGI was much better than I expected, and the acting was ... okay. It seemed like they rushed the lines a little.

I just finished reading the book. This movie is a faithful adaptation which I really appreciate. Same dialogue and even the same food (biscuits and gravy). If you liked the book this is worth the watch.

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.
