A mostly faithful adaptation of the novel. I do think it would have worked better as a TV series. It's good for what it is.

I think this movie is meant more for teenage girls the way it is set up, but it did have nice visuals and the story was not that bad in general, but yeah I am not really the main audience for this.

Paul Feig has never directed a good movie in his entire life and he was given what is probably the biggest budget of his career to helm an overstuffed and boring story of fantasy.

There is no soul or strength in this movie. I didn't find any of its characters to be really interesting and that's more of a problem than you can imagine.
Truth be told I wasn't expecting much, I had an idea of what I was going to see and that was basically it, so my disappointment is not based on what the film is, but on its inability to achieve any of the splendor that its proposal and production size seemed to aspire to.

The irony is that I think this might have worked more for Netflix as a series rather than a movie, but had that happened, they wouldn't have been able to secure the biggest names in its cast.

This is content filler with the ambition to create a franchise.
I certainly think they will get a sequel though.… Expand

What an... Eesh movie. That's all there is to it. It's not great, nor is it the scorn of the earth. My Mother and I watched it the other day, and we could both say it's an iffy movie.

My Mother and I watched it the other day, and we could both say it's an iffy movie. It certainly had it's fair share of ups and downs; every movie does. However, The School For Good and Evil's negatives outshined the negatives. Again, I'm not here to bash it. I'm just saying there was more that could have been done to make it better.… Expand
