Wicked

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.

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 :)

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 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.
