Very good movie

Rating: 10/10 (30 July 2011)

I just watched the movie, and it exceeded my expectations, it seems that every movie with Fassbender these days is worth watching. The story has a good pace, good story, and the actors are very convincing in their roles. I always enjoy historical movies, as long as they stay true, or very close to, history. I have seen many movies that sacrifice history for the sake of a story, but this movie stays very close to the historical account of the times. Although it is a work of fiction, the action sequences do not cross the line to science fiction, or cartoons, and though graphic, at times, is not there to make up for a lack of a script, and if removed, the story would be unaffected. My only complaint is that I think they tipped the ending off a little bit when he leaves the witch's house, the brief pause foreshadows the ending, but doesn't make it painfully obvious, so easily forgivable.
