Matilda is a movie that depicts of this girl with genius abilities but however, is not appreciated by her ignorant family members, as well as the badass headmaster, Ms Trunchbull. The only person who embraces her is her homeroom teacher, Miss Honey, who is in many ways like Matilda - lacking of a loving home. The movie concludes with the antagonist going down and the protagonist receiving the happy ending that she deserves. Typical, but very much gratifying. All in all, awesome movie!
I love this book-adapted movie!!! Mainly 'cos Matilda has been my favourite childhood book since FOREVERRRR. In fact, i'm still a great fan of Roald Dahl books! Why so awesome!! Hahhah! But anyway, back to topic, I love that the movie follows intrinsically with the original. My mind was flipping the pages of my battered and old Matilda book while watching the movie. Brings back so much memories!

Seeing that this was a 1997 production I suppose, the 'magic' effects were done pretty well with little loopholes to pick on (unlike
this, lollll). And I definitely have to give credits to the settings in the movie! How can it be so similar to what I have always imagined, back when I was reading the book?!!! Maybe it's only me, maybe it appeals to more, but it's so thrilling to see the images that you pieced together based on only words, come together in motion pictures! My childhoooooooooood. :O
Matilda's best friend, Lavender
I'm one who has little liking for young kids in reality but the characters in the movie are too dramatic and unique to not like! Except for Matilda, while the other young actors have relatively lesser lines, they to me have very significant presences that greatly contribute to the overall making of the fantastic movie! Kudos!
Alright this may be a biased rating but whatevs! It's a 5/5! :D:D
