fairy tale

Rating: Null/10 (29 December 2014)

adaptation of comics, it has the strange virtue to be a real good surprise. not for originality but for the status of fairy tale. adventures, love story, crumbs of myths, alternative history, a bad guy who remains good against pressure, Ron Perlman who does a splendid job, John Hurt in first place, vulnerable knight and strange maid, justice, monsters, fight scenes in chain, all in the perfect package. and, more important, the spirit of old fairy tales. each of that virtues does the film special. or only different. because the humor and the chaos and the flavor of romanticism are solid pillars for this kind of subject. and, in same measure, the force of images. see it !
