Matilda the Musical. Where do I begin? I don't like musicals so my expectations were next to none. "Why don't you like musicals?" Well it's simple. Every 3 minutes there has to be a song alongside a corny dance. Yes I know that's the whole point but there isn't much story to indulge in musicals due to the songs ripping it apart.
So what was Matilda the Musical really like?
Terrible.
I found Matilda incredibly unlikeable in this film. Compare it to the original. We wanted Matilda to defeat Miss Trunchbull. But in this movie, I wanted her to experience the worst due to her being down right annoying and the amount of singing she did. The title: Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical is blasphemous, simply because this film has about 20% of the original book in it and the rest is made up! I wanted to at least finish this movie and say it was watchable but it wasn't. Don't get me wrong the acting is good and I know everyone put a lot of time and effort into this movie, but it wasn't for me.
1/10.
