Matilda is annoying >:(

First of all, what's with all the mind powers. Yes I know this review is petty it's probably a passable movie and likeable in some respects. But gosh darn it you clicked on user reviews for a reason so your gonna listen to me. Matilda is very annoying almost as if she were a child! Which is only heightened by her freakish powers with little explanation, I could get her being a genius what's not to like about a kid born a genius? However, her telekinesis is completely unrealistic, don't even get me started on how the villain (I forget her name) threw this Goldie locked girl at Mach 00.00651662 and somehow survived. Are the police and parents nonexistent in this city? It's almost as if the character were purposefully incompetent and geared against Matilda and the children as if school systems and societies in general disappointing to nurture creativity and what not into children and more importantly teaching them life lessons as adults.

TLDR: Dumb movie, I don't like it, and neither should you!

What? What do you mean I'm typing this review as this movie is playing in Spanish from YouTube while I'm staring at both the TV and my laptop from the dinner table? What does that matter!? Yeah, so what if I should be doing my IB History IA?

If you have failed to notice, I am not 110% serious on this review. However I still stand by some of what I said specifically I rolled my eyes when suddenly Matilda gained telekinetic powers. I dunno anything about the book so it probably should be expected but I didn't like the movie which is why i wrote this review. It's perfectly fine if you liked this movie (not that my word is law or anything like that, again this is just my opinion). Smug little brat.
