Great fantasy - superb characters

Rating: 9/10 (23 November 2007)

Loved it, and had to stay right through the credits to listen to Take That's 'Rule the World'. A rip roaring adventure with many a humorous line. Great cameos from the likes of Ricky Gervais (The Office) and Mark Williams (Mr Weasley in Harry Potter). Good parts also played by Michelle Pfieffer and Robert De Niro. It was a real story not a bunch of effects but there were enough effects to take you out of this world and into Stormhold the world beyond the wall. A true laughing out loud film which uses subtle humour and not profanity to titillate the audience.Its rated PG in UK but only as scary as any fairy tale so most kids would lap it up. Iwould recommend this to anyone who wants to escape the toil of daily living and who still has the heart of a child
