TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 5 Netflix’s The School of Good and Evil is a visually ambitious fantasy with moments of charm but uneven execution. Sophia Anne Caruso’s Sophie is misplaced, struggling to embody "good" while quickly embracing darkness, and the film awkwardly comments on her beauty in ways that don’t resonate. Sophia Wiley’s Agatha is captivating, providing the right balance of strength and vulnerability. Jamie Flatters delivers a surprisingly solid narcissistic prince, while Michelle Yeoh and Laurence Fishburne add gravitas in limited screen time. Kerry Washington and Charlize Theron shine as headmistresses, anchoring the chaotic academy. The screenplay is bloated, with pacing issues and slow stretches that test viewer patience. Still, the story has fun magical moments, clever twists, and imaginative set design. While not perfect, the film offers enough spectacle and character interplay to entertain, though some casting and dialogue choices make certain elements feel mismatched. It’s watchable See more Sam M. Nov 23 I read this entire book series. More like I devoured this book series. So when I saw there was a movie on Netflix. I turned it on with my little brother at around 11 PM at night, and boom! My night turned sour. All the acting was good. Especially Sophie and Agatha. They were how I imagined them. It felt like someone was given the vague plot of the first 3 books, and made a movie. Why in the name of the School Master did Soman Chainani do a cameo in this! They misunderstand almost every single concept (the ones that put in the movie) in the books. They misunderstand the Trial by Tale, and that’s one of the only things in the book they include. They ignore the biggest mystery of the first 3 books by just name dropping Rafal in the literal beginning of the movie! When in the books it took three, 400 page, full length books to get their names! Then at the end of the movie they dare to propose a second movie. Even the way they represent a 2nd movie is horribly diluted from the book. They imply Tedros is the one who wants Agatha back in the world of fairy tales instead of the opposite! I’m so mad at the direction of this movie the only good thing I can say about it is that I liked the character of Hort in this movie. See more VITALII H @freakynickison Oct 28 I love this movie. Watched it 2 times already and I gotta say that the industry needed this sort of movie. Not 10 because in my opinion they could've went even further with the visual effects because sometimes they felt a bit "cheap" but maybe that's just me... Soundtrack is very fitting. Loved everything about it but with the bigger budget it would be even better. See more kaiz b Oct 14 Terrible acting , I feel like even a bunch of students could act better than this. Way too corny and cheesy with just the most random jokes that aren’t needed . The only good thing about this film is the VFX other than that nothing is good See more D S Oct 7 What can I say? It’s fun and had great acting. If you’re a millennial who enjoyed Sky High, give it a try, I’ve watched it several times and love it.

I really enjoy how it is narrated, the characters and the music. See more Read all reviews
