fantastical escape

Rating: 10/10 (20 September 2003)

Don't know about all you guys, but when I go to the movies I don't want real life, I get enough of that in........real life! This was the best film i've seen in years, I didn't know how long it was and couldn't believe how much time had passed while watching the movie. The 2 hours and 20 odd minutes sailed by ( sorry, bad pun! ) Johnny Depp was superb, the accent was so-so but as a brit i'll forgive him! He stole every scene he was in, he camped it up throughout, I laughed out loud and so did my kids aged 16 & 10. The dvd is already on my wish list and hopefully a sequel will follow. Storyline? wasn't really one but who cares? As I said the movies for me are about parking my brain at the door and being entertained, and this movie delivered that in spades. So take a chill pill guys and stop taking life so seriously!!
