I love the premise, I love how it is revealed, I love how it is concluded. The biggest flaw, however, is the plot, or rather its conclusion. IMHO the pacing is one if this movie's biggest flaws I was never quite bored but I certainly came close occasionally. Similarly, there were two quite long fight scenes that just dragged on where nothing really mattered. A runtime of almost two hours certainly isn't short, so I wonder if it was truly necessary to spend five minutes on a fairly silly 'magical transformation' sequence that is meant to be partially satirical. But as fantastic as it looked, it could not hide some problems with the pacing I feel this movie has. What surprised me even more was the imagery: Where I found the abstract depiction of the Witches odd and jarring in the series (and to a lesser extent also in the duology), I found it absolutely beautiful in Rebellion. The soundtrack is lovely, and the visuals are gorgeous. doesn't? From a technical standpoint, the movie is fabulous. Rebellion seeks to rectify that and just. The original series and the movie duology that retold it ended with a finale that was heart-rendingly bittersweet yet incredibly positive, but also had a slight note of dissatisfaction.
