Zusammenfassung
Reviewers say 'Matilda the Musical' is a vibrant adaptation with strong performances, especially from Alisha Weir and Emma Thompson. The film is lauded for its high-energy production, catchy songs, and intricate choreography. However, some critics argue it lacks depth in character development and relationships, particularly between Matilda and Miss Honey. This adaptation diverges from the 1996 film, emphasizing spectacle over emotional connection. Despite mixed views on musical elements and portrayals, many appreciate the effort to translate the stage musical to screen.

The kids were great! The acting, singing, and dancing was all on point. Emma Thompson was also amazing and did a wonderful job.
The other adults on the other hand were sadly forgettable. Even miss honey didn't feel like a main character. I grew up with the old 90's movie Matilda and miss honey was very important and you could feel that she loved Matilda with their acting. This miss honey had a beautiful voice, but it felt like there should have been more scenes with her teaching and talking to Matilda.
I was entertained almost the entire two hours of film which is what i consider good. It's not perfect but it was still fun.

I was watching this thinking how much Alisha Weir's performance in the title role reminded me of Emma Watson's "Hermione" from back in 2001! Feisty and intelligent, she is sent by her parents to the "Cruncher Hall" school where she encounters "Miss Trunchbull" (Dame Emma Thompson). Now this is a teacher who would not have looked out of place working with King Herod at Christmas! The children live in fear of her, as do the staff - but as "Matilda" starts to bond with "Miss Honey" (Lashana Lynch) and realises her true potential, well - a rebellion is soon in the offing! It's a strong story this - Dahl addressed many issues of neglectful parenting, bullying, intimidation and sexual stereotyping and Tim Minchin puts much of that sentiment effectively to music with a clever and entertaining lyric. The almost unrecognisable Dame Emma is on top form exuding an almost ridiculous degree of menace as helped by her array of cctv cameras, she rules the school with a rod of iron. Weir really enters into the spirit of things - she puts her heart and soul into the enthusiastic, mischievous and engaging character and with some enjoyably choreographed ensemble dance numbers this all delivers well. It still has a bit of the theatrical to it, some of the production doesn't quite make the best use of the flexibility the big screen offers, but the toe-tapping "Naughty" and "Revolting Children" help put a smile on your face for a surprisingly quickly-paced two hours.
There is so much to enjoy about Matilda the Musical.
It captures that certain kind of magic that only a musical can. It is rammed full of top class performances (Emma Thompson shines, and Alisha Weir is terrific in the lead role). The plot is very well put together and is full of outrageous fun and effective comedy. It captures the quirkiness and wonder of Roald Dahl's story perfectly.
The only real drawback for me is the songs. I only found myself properly enjoying the final song and dance. The rest just weren't really my cup of tea. Had there been a couple of more powerful or catchy songs I definitely would have given this film another star or two. I also though some of the acting was hammed up just a little too much for my liking.
Undoubtedly though Matilda is a very entertaining and fun film that will be sure to put a smile on your face.

THANK YOU Netflix for not letting this go straight to streaming. You just cannot beat the cinema experience and with a score and orchestrations like this you need that Dolby surround sound to appreciate the fullness.
I saw the film as a kid, and as I love musicals, I listened to the soundtrack on Spotify last week and can totally understand why this won so many awards. I would suggest that The Greatest Showman actually copied some of their score as there are so many parities.
The casting is first class, there is not a bad link anywhere in the production and what can I say about Emma Thompson, she is one gifted actress and always commands the screen, never more so than here. She would say that actors don't saves lives and it's just a job, but she does it SO well, in the world of awards she totally deserves one for this and ALL her work. Miss Honey had a beautiful voice and amazing actor too, the child lead was equally as outstanding.
I found the story very moving and tears were rolling down my face when 'Quiet' started. Yes, I'm a bloke, and unashamedly get emotional at things like this.
A part of my job as a community nurse is Safeguarding children and, although I found the film funny when I was young, not so now, however it was done very responsibly and sent out the right number of messages about 'telling someone'. I found parts very dark, that originally, I would have been able to view as humorous.
Kids don't ask to be born do they.
Most people were crying at times, especially at the end so take your tissues!
The filming was done in bright colours which makes a change from the drab brown screen.
The musical numbers were superbly choregraphed and the orchestrations made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
I will see it again with my family next week, it is THAT good.
Netflix did an amazing job with The Prom too, but sadly they let that go straight to streaming, I really hope they learn from this and stop just streaming all the really good stuff, which is few and far between anyway, obviously.

My children are currently rehearsing for this musical with their theatre group so we were looking forward to this.
The songs are all there and brilliantly performed. The staging and filming is so stunning to watch. Emma Thompson plays a good Miss Trunchabull. We all know the story of Matilda so I won't go into that but this is a film for the whole family to enjoy. Don't wait for it to stream on Netflix, this film really benefits from a big screen and awesome sound stage.
I would happily watch this film again, it was an excellent feel good film. The cast were perfect in each of the roles and choreography was brilliant.

- WissenswertesMara Wilson, who played the title character in Matilda (1996), turned down a cameo role, saying she didn't want to fly to England just for one day of filming. Similarly, Pam Ferris (Miss Trunchbull in the original) was also offered a cameo but supposedly turned it down as it clashed with rehearsals for a stage play.
- PatzerEarly in the movie, Miss Trunchbull is referenced as having competed at the Olympics after having also been the 1959 English champion in Women's hammer throw. This was not an Olympic event until 2000, making it unlikely Agatha Trunchbull competed at that level. Given the character, however, it might be presumed that it was all fabricated.

Mrs. Phelps: Is it a bully? Because you know, the best way to deal with bullies, is tell someone. Straight away. They thrive on... silence.
- Crazy CreditsThe Roald Dahl Story Company logo appears in the form of a golden ticket inside a Wonka candy bar (from Dahl's novel "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory").
- Alternative VersionenIn the French and Thai dubs, the reprise for "When I Grow Up" is left in instrumental. Likewise, the Turkish dub leaves it in English.
