Kenna Van Keuren

I could not make it past the first 10 minutes. Who thought this was a good idea?

This movie is not a great experience. It's like watching Mother! It's uncomfortable. But for me... I connected to it. For me it was about anxiety in general, and then anxiety created by a parent or someone close to you. There are so many things about this that not only make it incredibly ridiculous, but also incredibly real. It's not pleasant to watch, but it makes you feel it. Movies like this make me think others can understand what it's like. You can't go into this movie thinking you're going to have a great time. It's brilliant and it hurts at the same time. I love this movie.

I'm mildly interested in the story. Haven't read the book. Storyline seems fine though. Very cheesy 90s kind of fantasy vibe. Here's the thing... Why are all the women so ugly? This is a fantasy. I don't want to hear the complaints about how we have to be real about how we portray people. If that was true then why are all the lead males essentially hot dudes. Let's talk about Lan for a minute. Excuse me? And the Dragon? Inexcusable. Here is the only way I see the casting as brilliance: It's a reverse harem situation (which follows) and all the women are ugly (just like the men typically are in regular dramas, and surrounded by unrealistically beautiful women) and all the men are beautiful instead. That tracks. But holy hell if I have to see pumpkin nose one more time... With that mole that reminds me of the Austin Power's scene... Seriously whoever is in charge of casting for this show... I hate you. I can't take any scene seriously. It's terrible. You can tell every romantic situation is strained. And honestly I feel gross watching it. I keep watching for the story but keep having to take breaks to forget how terrible some of these people look. Once again, I want to remind everyone this is a fantasy story. This isn't about realism. Don't show me something I do not ever want to see. And that is a solid 90% of these actresses.

No. Don't waste your time. I only watched it because I was tricked into watching it by some review that said it was the scariest movie they ever saw. Super far from it. The movie ends with the main character of the first story being a complete trash person. Turns out she is the bad guy and gets a good boo hoo out of it. What a totally unsatisfying movie.
