    I didn't like it.......At All

    I am a huge fan of the twits, But this just wasn't it, It felt so of paced and the people carrying the building, it was just ridiculous.

    I would of rather instead of doing this storyline i would, instead, do what the first book did, or do The Twits Next door a kind of spin off book, Also the animation was off it was rough from here to there, johnny Vegas as Mr twit was pure gold though, the vioce was just right, I give this movie 5 stars.

    Not a patch on the wonderful book.

    The Twits do all they can to get their theme park, Twitlandia, open. Kids from the local orphanage attempt to rescue magical creatures from the Twits, creatures that power Twitlandia.

    By far and away, my favourite book as a child, packed with wit, the grotesque, plus a side of compassion mixed in with all of the nastiness. A book for all ages. I wanted to love this film. I didn't hate it, but sadly it's not very good.

    As soon as it begins, you'll get a sense that it just doesn't feel right; the story, the artistic choices- I couldn't help but feel that it was some sort of poor man's Wallace and Gromit.

    The source material is magical; it's so funny! Why the need to totally reinterpret it? I did enjoy the presence of Johnny Vegas, though; I just felt he needed better material. I don't know about Mrs. Twit, though; I'm not feeling it.

    Not terrible, just not very good either.

    4/10.

    The Twits in name only

    This is not the Twits at all. Roald Dahl must be turning in his grave. It has hardly anything to do with the book. The story was boring and the whole time I was watching I just wished I was watching an actual adaptation of the book instead of this tripe. Both my kids thought it was rubbish too. Avoid at all costs.

    Not The Best Roald Dahl Movie Adaptation

    I find The Twits (2025) is ok, Because it's not really the best movie adaptation of the Roald Dahl Stories. The main protagonists that I feel very sorry for are Beesha the Orphan Girl and The Muggle-Wump Monkey Family. But the main antagonists are the insufferable imbecilic couple called Mr. James Twit and Mrs. Credenza Twit, They make Dr. Marcus Fry and Mrs. Melisha Tweedy from Chicken Run: Dawn Of The Nugget (2023) look like sophisticated evil geniuses by comparison. If you wanted to watch the Roald Dahl Movie Adaptation, Please recommend Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory (1971), The BFG (1989), The Witches (1990), Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) and Matilda (1996) over this. I'm giving this an average 6/10.

    Horrible

    When the original material is a revered classic, why mess with it? Turning The Twits American, then tossing in Johnny Vegas, makes no sense. The charm, the bite, the Dahl-ness... all gone. Roald Dahl would emphatically not have approved. An utterly joyless and soulless reimagining that misses every mark.
