Review of Abigail

Abigail (I) (2019)
1/10
Great concept, poor execution
22 September 2019
I admit that I watched this movie solely because the steampunk concept. But I regreted it deeply. It's a waste of time and money. The visual still not worth it.

The plot is a mess, the inconsistencies are everywhere (really stumped me at the fighting scene where the whole room is on fire), the characters' motivation, action and relation of each others just don't make any sense. I even hate the main prontagonist, Abigail seems condescensing at times and others obnoxiously aggravating with no subtlety in her actions, and Bale is so uninteresting as someone who supposedly the leader of their cause and very shallow. My fave was Stella (hey, a good character who is quite level headed, why doesn't she become the leader), but then nevermind, they ruined her halfway. I forced myself to sit until the end to see if they have at least one tiny bit of redeeming part. They don't.

How can they release or approve that kind of script and editing is a big question for me.
