I don't love it..

Call me a critique...

I really don't love the changes they made. I will give the movie a second chance when I get around to it. But honestly it was so cringe, and not bubbly making. This, is very obviously, a Netflix movie. I do not love it.

I need some people to back me up and not make me feel alone in this. I really do want to love it. And I know the books came out a long time ago and maybe this is just an updated vision for the story... But I really feel like this was a huge let down and injustice to the books... It felt almost as bad as the Percy Jackson adaptations, if I can describe it. They changed too much and there's so many plot holes.. also what even with Peris??

I don't see it getting a second movie, but I'm hoping I am wrong because I want them to redeem themselves. I'm just very disappointed with the changes - they could have done so many other things to adapt the book into a movie as far as changes go.. but they chose really dumb things to change IMO...

Like I got to half way and just wanted to turn it off. It got very hard to watch at some points. I didnt feel any excitement when I should have.. it felt really off, and It almost didn't feel like the same story or the same characters...
