It only gets 2 out of 10 because the set, costumes, and VFX were great.
The story, however, was trash.
I get that they were trying to subvert the classic narrative (which is fine if it had been written to make sense) and I'm not even mad at the Sherlock Holmes-esque super intelligence they gave Little Red or the obvious "beggar" being someone important, but the way they tried to make it all make sense at the end was just poor writing and storytelling and made everyone (especially the magical beings!) before the reveal seem like idiots. Also some of the writing was just weird leaps of logic that, again, only made everyone seem stupid.
In the end, I didn't care about the dead guy because he was terrible person with a history of attacking/coercing women and the medal should've gone to the killer.
If you have time to waste, and honestly nothing else to rewatch, go ahead and watch this but don't expect to be entertained.
