Kassidy c 06/17/2024 I’m rewatching this as an adult in 2024. I absolutely loved the books; the graphic novels were my absolute favorites as a kid. This movie? It was awful. The wings looked bad. when they were flying looked bad. The fighting looked bad. The entire movie is cringy with the dumb “alpha” type lines Max says. you barely seeing any of the others or really anyone else. I can totally understand why there wasn’t another one made. Maybe one day there will be a remake, and it’ll actually be good, unlike this, which resembles what my cat leaves in her litter box.  See more 12/03/2021 I just wanna express that while watching this movie I was utterly disappointed due to the fact that this series had so much potential and it did not receive the proper amount of passion it deserved. I read the entire book series in two weeks and I will stand by my decision of saying it is my favourite series that I have ever read. I believe that if this series would have waited to be turned into a movie series, or even a tv series it would have been amazing, they definitely jumped the gun on this series. I am greatly saddened by the fact that I won't be able to watch this series grow on screen with the passion and dedication it deserves. The only reason I give this a movie two and a half stars is because I love the books so much. See more 11/25/2021 This horrible abomination of a movie was absolutely atrocious. I actually cannot describe how bad everything was, from the trash special effects to the awful characters. It physically pained me to watch the movie. They completely ruined Fang, making him the epitome of a straight white boy whose personality was almost as bland Max's barely existing one. Everyone was garbage, not even close to matching their quirky and unique personalities in the books. They should have just donated the 20 millions dollars they used to make this movie to charity, because this movie was painfully terrible and creating it was a complete mistake. If I could rate this negative stars, I would. But you should read the books. See more 10/13/2021 If you watched the books, you will hate this movie. Their casting for iggy looks nothing like how he was described, they mess up cool details like how their wings are wrapped around their bodies, which are actually shaped nothing like a human body. If you havent read the books, it's pretty good as far as action goes, although im not not sure youd really unserstand a whole lot of what's going on as a lot of description of what the school is and it's purpose is just entorely missing from the movie. And their abilities arent displayed very well either. Just lots of issues that made this movie cringe to watch. See more 06/02/2021 Horrible acting. Has no beginning and no end. Could have been great but low budget and just a mess See more 05/26/2021 the only thing the movie got right was the names of the character. it was like the director didn't even read the book.
