Strangely entertaining, funny and enchanting, but quite predictable

Rating: Null/10 (23 February 2014)

This movie is strangely entertaining compared to other fairy-tale like adventure films. Starting from the drawbacks, the end was predictable from the start of the movie (seriously, was there any doubt that Tristan will become a king and marry Yvaine??). And of course, some logical gaps (for example, why would the witch pretend to let both of the protagonists go and try to kill them literally 30 seconds later, instead of killing them at once...). And of course, the whole romance thing a a bit too sappy. So, these are the drawbacks, but since I gave it 9 stars, it should be quite good, right? On the positive side, unbelievably entertaining performance by De Niro and the group of ghosts - I caught myself smiling every time they appeared on the scene. Also, some irony towards other similar type movie was very subtle and made the movie even better. The main characters also very well picked. Overall, a perfect movie for the evening.
