Netflix's latest dystopian release, Uglies, has not been well received by viewers. The new drama movie, starring Joey King, has been met with criticism and disappointment. Despite its impressive cast and intriguing premise, the film has only received a dismal 21% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Set in a futuristic society with enforced beauty standards, the film follows a young girl as she awaits mandatory cosmetic surgery and searches for her missing friend. Alongside Joey King, the movie also features Chase Stokes and Laverne Cox. However, even with such star power, audiences have not taken to the film, calling its message "stale" and its use of CGI "generic."
Reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, a popular site for TV and film critiques, have been overwhelmingly negative from both critics and viewers. One critic, Jonathan Wilson, gave the film a measly one out of five stars, stating that everything from the setting to the action was "generic" and unimpressive. Another reviewer, Kristen Maldonado, expressed disappointment in the film's outdated feel and lack of risk-taking with the source material.
While some viewers did enjoy the film, with one even calling it "brilliant," the majority seemed to agree with the critics, giving it low ratings and calling it a disappointment. One viewer even went out of their way to leave a negative review, stating that Netflix can do better.
Lead actress Joey King, who has been involved with the project for many years, spoke highly of the film and its impact on her personally. She described it as a nod to her younger self and how the books helped her through her teenage years. However, it seems that the long-awaited film did not live up to her expectations or the expectations of fans.
Despite some positive reviews, the overall response to Uglies has been negative, with an average rating of 3.4 out of five stars from critics and an average of 3.3 out of 10 from viewers. It's clear that the film has not been well received, despite its potential.
If you're still interested in watching Uglies, you can find it on Netflix. However, with the overwhelming negative reviews, you may want to think twice before pressing play.
