I went into this with an open mind since I was a fan of the novel and have read nearly every Ruth Ware book since. But this adaptation feels just barely close to the original story. There are many changes to the characters and plot. The changes they did made make it feel very rushed. There didn't feel like a proper build up to establish everyone turning on Lauren. Plus, we have barely any clue who the boat guests and crew are. Very disappointed.

I'm a big Star Wars fan and I loved how refreshing this show was. The characters, storyline, and action scenes were all engaging. I especially liked that it put the idea of the Jedi Order on its head and showed not everything in this universe is black and white, good vs evil. Amandla gave a great performance playing two distinctly different characters. I enjoyed seeing how the twins storylines ended up reflecting each other. Also enjoyed seeing the Witches in live action, which I'd only seen in The Clone Wars show before this. Show was a great mix of old and new, and I hope there's a second season!

I don't do a lot of reviews on here, but this movie really surprised me. It was hilarious, for sure; it's impossible for an Eddie Murphy fronted movie to not be. But it also was a feel good film about preserving and giving it your all. Got goosebumps at the end. Great film!
