Jeff P 9h I just finished watching the movie, again this is one of those movies that anyone that gave this more than one star literally had to turn their brain off. There's so many inconsistencies and plot holes things just happen making the main character into a Mary sue. I've heard the books are pretty good but the movie changed major story lines and characters. It was a waste of time to watch I hope they don't make a second one.

Not because it would have been good, quite the contrary. I made this Rotten Tomatoes account only to comment on this movie. Most aspects of the movie were so disappointing that I was left to watch it in utter disbelief. Almost everything felt highly rushed, partly because the editing was done at a high pace, not letting the viewer to fully feel what just happened on the screen. It didn’t help that the acting was often subpar, so there wasn’t much believable emotion for the editor to convey to the viewer. Almost every background story felt rushed too, as if there was a todo list for "make these people meet, have a few activities together and then magically become important characters with minimal setup". All human relationships felt fake and shallow, and there was zero actor chemistry on-screen. Zero motives for anything. The book apparently does all of this well, so the movie is to blame.

See more Diana H @Dianawrites74 Dec 3 A Stunning, Thought-Provoking Film Uglies is an emotionally rich, and surprisingly timely sci-fi adventure that exceeds expectations from start to finish. Set in a future where beauty is mandated and conformity is the law, the film blends thrilling dystopian energy with grounded character moments that make the story hit hard. What truly elevates the movie is its worldbuilding—slick, stylish, and immersive without ever overshadowing the human core of the narrative. The tension between individuality and perfection is explored with nuance, and the film never talks down to its audience. The visuals are striking, the pacing tight, and the emotional stakes steadily climb until the last frame. Whether you’ve read the book or are diving into this world for the first time, Uglies delivers—smart, engaging, visually beautiful, and thematically powerful. An easy five-star must-watch.

I thought it was taking forever to release because they were making sure it was an appealing and accurate movie compared to the book. Absolutely not. I was extremely disappointed. I waited 4 years for this and I walked away wishing they either left Uglies as a book or actually took the time to at least have decent CGI. See more Read all reviews
