The movie lacks a severe amount of world building, character development, and follow through.

The School for Good and Evil is ambitious in its themes and makes you question the fairytales and archetypes weve come to know. Wylie brings a self aw ..

Capitalizing not just on proven source material (the book series) but also on tried and tested school set, teen starring fantasy formulas, nothing abo ..

The film doesnt reinvent the wheel, but its a lot of fun and has plenty of heart thanks to its leading performances and solid character development.
Screen Rant
2.5
Its got the grandeur and the looks of a compelling costume drama but when it comes to engaging with the audience, Feigs magic falls woefully short.

Brent Whites editing cant sustain a consistent tempo, but thats because the spasmodic script wont allow one.

So theres a lot of Hogwarts and a little Enchanted and a whiff of every wisearsed take on fairytales in the plot, and a taste of Fantastic Beasts in t ..

A sweeping symphonic score doesnt a fantasy epic make. Nor does a CGI fuelled climactic battle, some made up mumbo jumbo words, or beams of energy tha ..

Its not necessarily worth calling home about, but it shouldnt be solely judged by its visuals and it deserves better than being degraded as a Harry Po ..
Cultured Vultures

The film whirls around Devers spirited performance, making Rosaline likeable even when shes doing things that arent terribly likeable.

This movies problems with the muddled storyline and the choppy pacing could have been resolved had this been an episodic series rather than a 2.5 hour ..

The actors efforts are squashed by the plot twists and the imposition of large scale embellishments on such a simple concept.

Somewhat overlong and skewing a bit juvenile (and probably wouldve been better as a series) it is as a fairly fun fairy tale fused romp with a bevy of ..
