Captivating

Rating: 10/10 (5 November 2007)

This is a fairy tale about fantasy, humor, and love. Rarely do we see these elements combined together in a movie this way. There are usually always war and slaughtering involved to tell the tale/story in a fantasy world.
With all the wrongs going on in our world, this is just what we need. A love story that will make the human heart tingle with warmth, and respect love for what it is, something truly amazing.... And maybe, just maybe we can all learn something from it.
I mainly concern myself with the story in any tale, whether a movie or a computer game. Graphics/effects etc are not so important to me. So here are some of my character remarks:
Claire Danes: Is absolutely adorable as Yvaine. Cute, funny and vulnerable to the new world she finds herself in.
Charlie Cox: I can't say very much about him since i've never seen him in a movie before. But he is perfect for the role.
Robert De Niro: Is a good as always, complementing on his comedy streak from his Meet the parents performances, which i personally like.
Michelle Pfeiffer: I always knew she had a mean streak when i first heard her say "I'm Catwoman" in Batman Returns. She excels in her role as villain.
Ian McKellen: Is a great actor/voice actor and brings a softness to the prologue and epilogue with his soft/English-accent voice.
Supporting Actors: Also very well cast, no complaints here.
Deepest respect to the writers of this wonderful story, and the director for making this a warm, and lovable movie to remember for a long time to come.
May you all live happily ever after.
