Monster High: The Movie, not as bad as I thought, still not worth your time. Unless you're planning on going blind.
But I should say that Cleo De Nile was some of the most insulting shit I've ever seen and I'm pretty sure these people have never heard of character progression or development. There's only story, no character. At no point during this movie did I feel like anyone improved or was better by the end. Clawdeen saves Cleo's life once and all of a sudden Cleo does a total 180? Sure, yeah, whatever you say.
All my homies hate g3 Cleo cause she's based off no research whatsoever and is extremely insulting to Ancient Egyptian culture.
Cleo notes that she studied with Heka, the ancient Egyptian god of magic and medicine, once in this movie, otherwise, that fact is practically non-existent. She also pronounces 'Heka' like 'hecca' which is weird and also not how you pronounce it. She says 'Oh my Ra' once and during every other point in the movie, you wouldn't even realize she's supposed to be ancient Egyptian royalty.
I don't think any of the emotional beats hit hard enough, they're either cut short or turned into a song and the songs aren't bad but they don't do a really great job of capturing the emotion they're trying to capture so by the end you probably couldn't care less about the characters and what they want or why.
It's honestly just watching a series of events unfold. If ur into that stuff then knock yourself out but personally, I don't enjoy that.
The songs came at the worst times imo, and I just wanted them to end.
I already talked about the fashion nightmare the movie is so I'll skip over that.
This movie was an hour and thirty minutes of my life wasted. Nothing happens, and I mean it.
I noticed a few youtubers going on youtube to say that "oh it's not that bad" and yeah it isn't... but it's not really good either. Especially Cleo and the absolute shit they made her into, she's just a white pov of ancient Egypt and I hate it.
This entire movie was just:
and that pretty much sums it up. At no point did I genuinely care.
