Review of Roald Dahl's The Witches (2020) by Blaket81 — 23 Oct 2020
I don't see how even the cast and crew of this remake can possibly think this comes even close to the original. The only reason I even gave it 2 stars is for Roald Dahl. This remake ended the way the book ended, with the children staying mice.
The original movie had a happier ending where they were turned back into human by a witch that had turned good. I much prefer the happier ending of the original movie myself, but Roald Dahl hated it, he wanted it to end with the children staying mice because that's how he wrote the book.
I read that he even stood outside some theaters trying to talk people out of going into see it. So the only reason I'm giving it 2 instead of 0 is for Roald Dahl (may he RIP), even though most people probably prefer the original, he may have preferred this remake.
