Extremely impressed!

Rating: 10/10 (8 September 2009)

I have to say that before watching this movie I didn't know what to expect. My bf watched it one night and said we had to watch it together because it was "that good", and I wasn't disappointed.
I must give props first and foremost to the casting - Michelle Pfeiffer, Robert DeNiro, Claire Danes and many others made for a simply magical and brilliantly acted fantasy flick.
The story was well written and entertaining to follow until the very end. There were no spots in between where I felt bored or confused, it was just one superb scene after another.
If you like fantasy movies, this should be a definite on your list. You'll have a perfect balance of romance, action and fantasy all wrapped up in a well-executed movie.
