Who else has seen it?

I'm watching it now. I don't like it, I hate the Grand High Witch's accent. It's also too close to the original but has none of the subtlety. The only aspect I like so far are that the hero and his grandma are black Americans from the South and aren't wealthy. I was hopeful that that would mean quite a fresh take on the story. But, 45 min in, and it's like it's a pale imitation of the Anjelica Houston one.

Agree regarding the witch don't like how they removed the whole mask thing and gave them deformed finger nail and toe instead, agree with the boy and grandma , it was good in parts not so much in others and the original is still the best and a classic and stays more true to the book.

Agree. I was excited to see it recently but the grand high witch was awful. Nowhere near as good as the original unfortunately.
