I've both read and watched the movie multiple times. Roald Dahl is an amazing writer. I don't think I've ever read one of his books and I didn't like it. Making a movie for a "Fantastic" book is the smartest thing any director can do. The hard part is getting it right. I think the director, cast, and anyone else invovled in the making of this amazing movie did it perfect. Its funny, interesting, and has the perfect amount of drama to keep you interested. If you disgree, you either never saw the movie, never read the book, or a hater of animals, which I might add is terribly cruel. Thank you.
