The strongest point of this movie is the costume design which indicates how dismal it is, though it beats Black Panther which may take the award in this category anyways due to affirmative action.

I had low expectations after reading the reviews, but I genuinely really loved this film. Perhaps I am biased because it was one of my very favorite books as a child, but I feel it is a timely, accessible message (acknowledgeing our faults and still being deserving of love) for adults and children alike, and that the message was well portrayed. There were some elements of the book lacking, but that's to be expected because it's a different media. I felt it was visually stunning, and I love how sincere and intimate the relationships were on screen. It was also very thought-provoking and prompted good conversation after the movie. I don't understand why the reviews are consistently low unless it's because noone likes a film written by, directed by, and with almost all of the main characters women and girls. Oh...maybe that's the problem. So, if that fact doesn't faze you, I highly recommend this film.

This movie had so much potential: a great director, talented cast and a magical book as the base. Unfortunately the movie was absolutely horrible. It's as if all of the effort went into developing the CGI and they forgot that they needed to tell a story. Very disappointed.

Not as good as the book but what movie ever is. We enjoyed the visuals and the story was very good even though it left out a significant plot vignette of Aunt Beast. People just have no patience for complex stories and concepts these days.
