I love new and creative interpretations of fairy tails, but this just field so weird. I think it's hard to even call them new interpretations as so less of the source material is used within this. The first episode was fine, but the others were just weird and missing a moral/a message of the story. I think it's one of the shows were a lot is metaphoric and up to interpretation, but it's not presented in a fun, clever and interesting way like eg love, death and robots or Star Wars Visions. It's just weird. I'm quite disappointed as I expected more. They should have better adapted something like Kaori Yuki's Ludwig Revolution.

I never read the books so I can't tell how accurate the adaption is. This Netflix production is definitely not the best but also not the worst fantasy movie. It's like a typical Nickelodeon/Disney channel production (with better effects and costumes) in my feeling and I think it will find it's audience.

I was entertained by it and I guess it's fine for watching one time. It has a nice cast and costumes. The CGI could have been better but is fine compared to other movies on Disney channel level.

The story and the characters are pretty mediocre and for my taste, they are relying too hard on clichés. On the other hand I think that some people will love it especially for this. It definitely falls into the category guilty pleasure.

So if you don't expect much and like cheesy fantasy movies for children/teenager, this movie could be something for you.

If you are not the target audience or don't like these kind of movies, stay away from it. You can't compare it to movies like Harry Potter, Panem and Maze Runner. But to be fair, I don't think that the movie ever intended to be compared with them.
