Whilst this movie in a technical sense isn't terrible, The newest revival to the monster high franchise has tarnished the legacy.
My biggest gripe with the movie is the characters. As a Monster High fan since 2010, it's hard to let go of the childhood nostalgia. They of course needed to freshen up there outfits, hobbies and overall aesthetic to fit modern trends. However watching Big Bad Clawdeen Wolf in purple sneakers and awkward mom length skirts made me turn off this movie before even hitting play. Clawdeen was known for her leopard print fits and heels up to the heavens. Realistic for a 15 year old? No but no one is watching this for realism but rather an escape.
Frankie being non-binary is an amazing edition to the series, but could've been more streamlined to be more visually appealing. Non-binary people such as Cara Delevingne or Miley Cyrus could've been used as a guideline for a modern ,cool FASHIONABLE character.
Draculaura visually was one of the better characters, but her cold, not warm personality was a far cry from her previous self.
With a character overall and higher budget, this movie could've been tolerable. Monster High didn't need a live action movie. Instead of a clean slate, Mattel needed to just scratch off the rust of an amazing franchise they already had.
