In late 1967, a young orphaned boy goes to live with his loving grandma in the rural Alabama town of Demopolis. As the boy and his grandmother encounter some deceptively glamorous but thoroughly diabolical witches, she wisely whisks him away to a seaside resort. Regrettably, they arrive at precisely the same time that the world's Grand High Witch has gathered.

Anne Hathaway all the way up, down, to the left, to the right, inside, outside and every direction possible.

The Narration by Chris Rock makes it feel like Everybody Hates Chris, but with Witches. The CGI is also overdone. The original was creepier due to the make-up and effects from Jim Henson’s workshop. This one is more interested in showing off what it can do with CGI which is too typical these days. The casting is good despite the narration not needed at all. Anne Hatherway is decent but tries too hard. Anjelica Huston was just naturally better in the role without all the overacting. Octavia Spencer as the witch expert grandmother works the most. Stanley Tucci also is good casting as the hotel manager. The movie won’t make you forget the original at all. I wanted to like it more. However it felt uneven and rushed. Despite a good start. The original is way more magical. The ending to this is just weird too.

The story is what it is. It is a Roald Dahl story so it is somewhat dark but funny and with some light at the same time. Of co More

A lot was changed in this remake and I thought it would irk me. After about twenty minutes I thought I had been wrong, the opening had some originality and it seemed like something fresh. then they arrived at the Hotel and Anne Hathaway came on the scene like a wrecking ball. Any potential that this More

When you hear the names Robert Zemeckis, Guillermo del Toro and Alfonso Cuaron, you expect something visually engaging. These three names paired with Dahl's work could have been something really special, but this is just another bland adaption. The more you compare it to both the source material and More

Is a good movie for family. The end is unexpected and Anne Hatheway is always a good choice in distribution.
