Pretty much lacks and feels low budget
Well, Winx Club is pretty much a magical girl show with fairies instead of solar planets as their powers. Now, I have a little problem with the opening in that they do not explain much about what is going on. We get the girls going to a spooky castle dressed in strange capes. When they take the capes off, it looks like they are naked under them. They don't explain how Ms. Faragonda ended up finding the girls and teleporting right in front of the person the winx was looking for. A lot of things seem broken but part of it might be there was one before this. I still think that a movie should be able to stand alone or have something that would explain more about this.The whole first part of this is Bloom feeling sorry for herself and her problems without any let up. She show just keeps going downhill to me. The next part is just her going back to normal with her adopted family, and then it feels like nothing really gets resolved at in the first part. The only thing that changes things is the dream that Bloom has. It's the standard dream of someone from her past talking to her. They could have done this a bit sooner in the show and it wouldn't seem so boring.
This shows a lot that boys will be boys too. A lot of times the boys started acting rather immature. The enemy is really pathetic. She's whiny and always narrates her actions. I also want to hit Stella too, she is more annoying then the cartoon.
A lot of times, they fad in and out in different areas and makes the show rather choppy. If they were going to do that, then The 3D version of everyone doesn't really look good. I think it would have been much better if it was done in the style of the actual cartoon instead. It just feels like it lacks something to it. The characters act rather oddly sometimes and move around rather stiffly. The hair looks rather wet and messed up.
The script sounds really off for how the characters talk in the show. The script seems rather rushed and Lip movements don't always work right. It just bothers me. We also really don't need a narrator for both the beginning and ending. It just feels disjointed again.
score 2/10
