Worst Disney Channel Movie I grew up with actually good Disney Channel films like the HSM trilogy, Camp Rock, the latter 2 Cheetah Girls films, and Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie. Even when i grew out of them, there were still good ones, such as Lemonade Mouth, the Descendants series, Girl vs. Monster, Let it Shine, etc, but this is the worst one I've seen.
Reasons
1. Casting:
For the most part, the acting is meh, not surprising. The cast isn't too bad and is forgivable. But....
1. Bonnie isn't Asian
2. Ron doesn't have a screechy voice
3. Tim and Jim have spiky hair
4. Barkin has hair
5. Shego has slanted eyes
6. Drakken is blue
7. Wade is overweight and older than he appears in the movie.
8. Almost all of the background characters look dead inside.
2. Effects
Drakken isn't blue and Shego isn't green in this movie. The special effects range from meh to embarrassing. The CGI looks like it belongs in a Spy Kids movie and at it's best, Agent Cody Banks. but even this isn't the worst part
3. Dialogue
The dialogue is cringy to say the least. the overuse of "modern teen lingo" is the equivalent to "How are you, fellow kids?" It makes the film hard to watch, but even this isn't the worst.
4. It ruins the story and characters
The original story of KP takes place in the early 2000s, Bush-Era America. Not 2019. They should be using flip phones and not smart phones. There are no crop tops nor is there a Cheerleading team. Instead they have modest outfits and a soccer team. It contradicts the original in that, Ron owned Rufus before the events of the show.
But the worst thing is...
It ruins Kim.
Kim is pathetic in this "adaptation". The original Kim could be a bit awkward and sensitive at times, but never to the point where she is unable to function. Kim was a strong character, but now she's a weak character. It seems like they took what made Kim, Kim and put that in the new character...
Athena, she's a cyborg. She becomes a Mary Sue character and ruins Kim's life because she was sent by Drakken to do so. Anything Athena does, she does perfectly and she almost died at the end, but modern Disney doesn't have the guts, so they brought her back and removed her evil.
I hate Athena, Kim is pathetic, Ron is obnoxious, Wade barely does anything, same with Rufus and Drakken is a failure in every sense of the word.
