Willow (2022)
Cute, fun show
Let me preface by saying, I am a viewer that had never heard of Willow before stumbling upon this show. That being said, I found it entertaining. Many of the negative reviews seem to come from those who watched and loved the original and found the remake fell short.
It wasn't the best, but still a cute/fun story. At some points scenes felt dragged out and others rushed, but not bad overall! It would go from continuing on their journey and then random surprise attacks that didn't always feel necessary. It was also a little confusing how the magic worked/where the power drew from (but that may be because I didn't watch the original first), but I feel like all the characters worked well together and kept me engaged.
Love & Gelato (2022)
Why say it's a book adaption if you're going to change the entire plot?
Aside from some characters names, this didn't follow the plot of the book at all. Everything that made the book compelling, was disposed of and changed...and what was left was a shell of the original material lacking any heart or chemistry.
No Exit (2022)
Loved the book; movie adaptation not so much
Character backgrounds and circumstances were changed and everything felt so rushed. As a result, characters felt one dimensional and there wasn't really someone you "root" for, just a lot of random scenes that don't necessarily feel complete or cohesive. Ultimately, it felt like a quickly thrown together low budget film that missed the mark. I had high hopes after reading the book because I felt the book's premise and writing style were perfectly suited for a movie adaptation.
Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist (2020)
Fun and original idea!
The pilot was extremely enjoyable from beginning to end. Loved the variety of songs and how they added to the plot line.
