While trying to add things that the movie didn’t even need, they missed some of the key points from the original movie. It feels almost unfinished and confusing.
Why did Trunchbull punish Matilda’s class when there was no red ribbon showing that she committed the crime?
Where did Matilda get the idea to punish her parents?
How did Matilda master her powers perfectly (and in public) without any practice?
And who was the character with the red beret?
The acting is the only reason that this deserves any stars. They did their best with what they had. The songs were also catchy and the dancing was great.
