Critics Consensus

It's what's on the inside that counts, but unfortunately Uglies doesn't have much going on in there, either.

Even if Uglies was watchable, its tropes have been worn down to nubs and its themes wrung dry. Go to Full Review
John Anderson Wall Street Journal 09/19/2024
It feels a bit infantile, never mind petty, to go looking for literary-theological heft in a project so clearly directed at the blushingly young, or to begrudge them an indulgence like Uglies. Go to Full Review

2/5
The (yes) ugly CGI hoverboard action and unconvincing love interest are issues, but casting Laverne Cox as a villain who forces children to undergo surgery is just unfortunate considering the current political transphobic moment Go to Full Review

1.5/5
It’s ironic that Uglies is about valuing authenticity over the artificial when it is the most contrived, synthetic dystopian product to ever exist. Go to Full Review

Anna S @AnnaS21 1d I absolutely LOVED the movie! Was it exactly like the books? Well, no. However most movies aren't. I loved the storyline, the characters. Yall are crazy not to like this movie! 10 outta 10. It's a shame the rating was so low because I really wanted another movie! See more Ion K Feb 13 The critics and people who say this movie sucks are not professionals, they are people who just make reviews at home. This movie is great, don’t listen to the other dumb reviews. There are worse movies that are somehow at the top. See more Angel W @dizzy_ Feb 12 The movie is horrible compared to the book. It spoons feeds you everything and doesn't give the viewer the freedom to infer or critically think about its themes. It has a major problem in telling instead of showing. For a movie about free-thought, it's ironic that it rarely allows its audience to think for themselves. See more Max R @Joerg_Ay Jan 25 Probably the worse movie Ive ever watched See more Jeff P Jan 18 I just finished watching the movie, again this is one of those movies that anyone that gave this more than one star literally had to turn their brain off. There's so many inconsistencies and plot holes things just happen making the main character into a Mary sue. I've heard the books are pretty good but the movie changed major story lines and characters. It was a waste of time to watch I hope they don't make a second one. See more Olivia S. @movienerd181 Jan 4 not AT ALL like the book. missing all of the elements. would’ve been soo much better in a tv show to get everything. also, paris never even became a special or died See more Read all reviews
