An impressive ,rather, a fantastic film!

Rating: 8/10 (8 January 2012)

This is one of the rarest of occasions where the movie is superior to its original source, the novel.
Although the book was more like a short story (than other books by the same author like 'Matilda') and had some genuine original ideas and a funny side to it, the movie improves upon it to create a film which Roald Dahl himself would be proud of. From the wolf scene (all those who already watched the film will understand what I mean)to the ending 'war' scene ,all scenes which were not in the book, it is an innovative and outstanding achievement to all those involved. All those who read the book know how almost impossible it was to write a screenplay for this movie but this team succeeded with flying colours.
Thank you for showing me that movies can still be an art form where originality is still somewhere to be found. FANTASTIC.
