Darren K Hulu splash screen and tone deaf intro jarringly interject drudgery between each episode (6). New ending scrubs the world of magic and deflates emotional buildup. Did greed butcher this or just poor taste? Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/04/25 Full Review Joe E The movie version is so much better. The TV version feels like just a chopped up version of the movie, with bad pacing, lackluster music, and a bewildering and disappointing alternate ending. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/06/24 Full Review Alicia S I enjoyed the movie when it was in theaters, and I enjoyed revisiting it in this series format. Very beautiful and moving! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/22/23 Full Review Alex C I'm not sure why the critics disliked this one so much. I thought it worked great as a series, allowing the epic the breathing room and pacing that it needed. I also enjoyed the framing around Nullah's perspective and the added scenes really helped draw me into the world of the story. Then of course there's the excellent cast and spectacular cinematography. I'd recommend it to anyone who asks. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/14/23 Full Review Susan B Of course as gorgeous and epic as the original film, but with more time for characters to react to their dramatic situations before some new plot point comes along. Also fills in certain confusing gaps and beefs up the roles of the minor characters a bit. Absolutely worth a watch if you loved the first film or if you've never seen it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/08/23 Full Review Dede S Very good and keeps your interest! Pretty fast moving with a good story line.
