This movie had a lot of potential. The story is original, and the costumes and cast are amazing. I really think it could of been a great movie if it wasn't so rushed/speedran. Its rush to crunch as many things as possible genuinely ruined the movie and its characters.
Honestly the beginning was great, not to fast, not to slow. It was when Sophie did her "cool villain" walk that everything went downhill. I never thought I would cringe so much over a walk. What the actual heck was that.
Anyways that is not my point.
Many important characters like Tedros barely had screen time. His romantic relationship with Agatha felt forced. Most of the characters personalities and depth were pushed aside to be able to make things faster. Not to mention important character arcs. Like where is Agatha's whole overcoming insecurities arc?
In general I think they missed a lot of opportunities to add depth and scenes between characters that would help have the audience connect and relate to them like in the books and make the story more interesting.
