    Definitely should have been a TV show with a slower pace than trying to cram everything in one movie, a lot from the books got brushed over especially when it came to building each character. Though the ending was sort of like a cliffhanger, I think a second would be made.

      @@ihatehomestuck3141 I agree as well. But also I think their friendship was real in the books but Sophie was a bad friend and self-serving most of the time. Sophie admits that Agatha started off as her good deed but later she would visit Agatha because she liked hanging out with her. Sophie was just as alone as Agatha and admitted that it was good to have a friend and someone who understood her. However, she’s also selfish and has very black and white views on what good and evil are, hence she thinks she’s the princess and Agatha is the witch. She gets very hell bent on switching schools because she thinks that’s what’s right and because it’s been her dream all her life. Sophie’s selfish and evil side should have been highlighted in the movie! She’s a completely different character honestly. But at the same time I also enjoyed seeing their sweet friendship in the movie

      I agree here! I think if they had a TV show with hour-long episodes, maybe 10 in total, it could've been an exact adaptation of the books, making it much more authentic and meaningful.
      This movie completely left out Agatha's battles with self-hatred in favor of Sophie's arc. Additionally, it kind of squashed books one and three together, which I think was a bit forced.
      I love the books so much, and the movie wasn't terrible overall, but I feel like with a TV show we could've had so much more.

    they nailed Sophie in appearance for me it'd how I always picture her. but Agatha idk, shes a very beautiful actress, but thats kinda of the problem. I wanted a girl who is pretty, but you have to add effort into it. like when she's not smiling she looks mean, or have her hair down and in her face hiding features. basically a girl who look average until you put the princess cloths on her. bc Agatha in the books was pretty but everyone thought she wasn't bc of how she viewed herself, and her appearance. when I saw Agatha in her village cloths I still thought she was extremely beautiful. thought the whole geek to chic is trope over played but I would've loved her to go through more of transition into the beautiful state instead of always being stunning 24 7. I mean Sophie got her transition when she accepted she liked playing evil, but there was non for Agatha besides as soon as they got to the school.

    I read the book to compare after watching this and I mainly dislike the changes. The book does get a bit repetitive but the most annoying change is having Rafal directly manipulate and communicate with Agatha and Sophie.
    They also cut a few characters and changed the ending quite a bit. They obviously had to leave out the parts about Agatha being “ugly” and “witch-like” because they cast an attractive actor.
    Testosterone not being a misogynistic a-hole that keeps calling Agatha a witch is also a bad change imo.

    the books executed it PERFECTLY, so fitting the books whole plot and character are into the movie's time limited them SO much. I wish it was a show because then it would have dove into the story and characters much better, but it's not a horrible adaptation. I feel like the movie also didn't go as dark as the books were, specifically with Sophie and her villain arc but that's ok. Also the relationship building with Tedros and Sophie and then Tedros and Agatha is so much better and slow-burn in the books that it feels so rushed, as do a lot of plot lines, in the movie.

    Okay okay okay PAUSE. I'm three minutes in and Sophie says "You're supposed to drop ME at the good school, not HER!"
    And.... girl what? Why didn't she expect them BOTH to be dropped at the good school? Agatha has never done anything terrible so far so why does she deserve to be dropped at the school of evil? Just goes to show how she really sees her buddy smh.

      the movie doesn't really explain it very well, but in the book, it constantly shows how Aggie seems to fit the "evil school" mold at least in terms of some of her mannerisms and her appearance. The movie doesn't really show too much of a change for Agatha which really disappointed me. Don't get me wrong, her actress did a good job, but I just felt the make-up and costume team was lacking in terms of making it seem more believable that people would mistake Agatha for being at the wrong school.

    I feel like this would have been better as a series (they could have done seasons per book) as it shows the characters personalities more (even true descriptions) and how the events panned out shown by the book. Also, the movie highlights more Brother Grimms fairytales than Disney (though there are some small hints of Disney). There was a deleted scene that shows Agatha and Professer Dovey, which I think should’ve stayed as it highlights Agatha’s transformation and how she learns. There were a lot of moments taken away, but the movie is overall not that bad!
    Also, when students place last three consecutive times (ranking #20), you fail and turn into something horrible. Another explanation is depending on your rank depends on your fairytale:
    Rank #1-5: They become Leaders, who are your typical protagonist and antagonist
    Rank #6-12: They become Henchmen, who are typically sidekicks or servants in the fairytale
    Rank #13-20: They become Mogrifs, who turn into animals or plants. Sometimes, who aid the leaders in quests

    As much as i remember, fail system was not that ridiculous in the books: you were supposed to fail three times in a row to get expelled and there were grades from 1 to 20. Failing three times in a row was even said to be very rare. Here you just need to fail three times in general and it looks like they're expecting you to do everything good from the first try, despite the fact that it's a school and they're supposed to teach you something. Not to mention it's almost impossible to not collect three fails in several school years. Half of the students should end up expelled with such system, when, again, in the book expelling was said to be RARE.

    This was my favorite book series of all time. I was so excited for the movie, and I really enjoyed the movie. I do have to admit though that they could have added more things from the book into the movie and refrained from changing some things. I'm not complaining as it was a stellar movie! I'm just saying that it could have followed the books a little more, and that would have made it even better. For example, Netflix did add 3 complete new characters to the movie and left out 2 major(ish) characters from the book. Some of the scenes I was really looking forward to was 1) the trial by tale (which they did, but it was completely altered from the trial by tale in the book) and 2) the circus of talents (which they completely left out). Again, I'm not complaining as the movie was still totally amazing as it is in my opinion!!

    I read the books, all six main books and the prequel, and this movie is 2.5 because it's too far away from the book. Even hp6 was closer to the book than this movie is to the first book, I understand things need to be left out within a movie, but tbh they changed the whole story and only paid attention to Sophie. It's an alright movie if you haven't read the books, but for book readers (especially me) it sucks. Also Leonora was never a reader, she was born within the fairytale world not Gavaldon. every 4 years two kids are taken, not 'every so often.' this is set in the 16th century, so the 21st so the word 'shit' and billie and Olivia should not be here. highly recommend this series, the books are much much much better.
