Space Cowboy Posted September 27 Posted September 27 Just watched it. I knew it was going to be bad but I had no idea it was going to be that bad. Netflix should be ashamed
vuelve88 Posted September 27 Posted September 27 Possibly, but let's revisit this thread on October 4th. 2
James_Dean Posted September 27 Posted September 27 I mean... it stars Joey King. What do you think 1 6
LittleStarmen Posted September 27 Posted September 27 Netflix has not been able to make good content anymore just Algorithm baits...
punisher Posted September 27 Posted September 27 i watched it on a plane and i'm not even kidding i experienced the worst headache of my life, i had to ask the flight attendant for panadol and i just slept to get rid of the pain 6
youmustbeupgraded Posted September 27 Posted September 27 (edited) I couldn't finish it. I knew when she said in the beginning "mirror make me pretty", and it put that tik Tok filter on her, that it was going to be bad. I don't even know why I watched halfway through Edited September 27 by youmustbeupgraded
TouchinFree Posted September 27 Posted September 27 (edited) The begining was somewhat good but then it was just... terrible that i even forgot to finish it. The idea is hilarious though, it should've been a comedy. Ugly people live to work and are literally "beneath" pretty people that are up on a literal higher ground/buildings They really thought they did "something". Edited September 27 by TouchinFree

Ugly people live to work and are literally "beneath" pretty people that are up on a literal higher ground/buildings If you read the three books (Uglies, Pretties, Specials) you'll see it's actually an action packed and harrowing Sci-fi epic with deeper character building. The author has been trying to get a film made for over a decade or so, it was attached to MGM for a major, multi-million dollar film franchise but it kept falling through. Sad it sounds like they had to go the cheap route and weren't true to the subject matter. It also sounds like they missed the message of the first book. Edited September 27 by Afterglow 2
Kevin2803 Posted September 27 Posted September 27 Only to people who barely watch any movies. It wasn't good but there were far worse movies. "Beautiful Wedding", just to name one. 1
wigglytuffer Posted September 27 Posted September 27 the film is so stupid because who is turning down the opportunity to party for the rest of their life looking hot 😭 why would i ever rebel against that 2
TedMiracle Posted September 27 Posted September 27 It's horrible and the fact they might be a second one
NoOneDiesFromLove Posted September 27 Posted September 27 Well it is a Netflix production after all any of them could qualify for the title
ItsJustMe. Posted September 27 Posted September 27 i thought the concept was fun I want to know more about the pretties world tho the entire portion of the movie in "the smoke" was kinda boring
Badgalbriel Posted September 27 Posted September 27 I can't believe they made that terrible movie out of such a good franchise 1
FlyOnTheWall Posted September 27 Posted September 27 I actually enjoyed the book when I was in high-school so either the film truly BOTCHED its source material or the book is actually worse than I remember it being I need to watch this ASAP, by what people have been saying it's up to be a hilarious ****-watch lmao
shookspeare Posted September 27 Posted September 27 (edited) wait, this finally came out? I've been waiting for an adaptation since I read the series in like 2007, the Masochism of YA novel adaptations Perched to watch but too bad it seems like it sucks not them casting Laverne Cox as the evil doctor Edited September 27 by shookspeare
Gossip_Boy Posted September 27 Posted September 27 The whole movie felt like a facetune ad. I had no idea this was a book adaption. I'm sorry but the premise is so stupid lol.
