Could have been put together better

Rating: 6/10 (21 October 2007)

I did eventually like this movie but it was in no way the same caliber as The Princess Bride. The characters would do things that would make no sense other then to keep the plot going. It was a seemingly alright story with times where you wondering why the character did what he/she did. There seemed to be no cleverness to the situations and too many unbelievable moments which was probably due to not enough plot development. I really was waiting for a movie like this one and was hoping that it had the same magic as The Princess Bride, but it just barely missed the mark. The sound was great, the score matched the movie and the special effects well enough but if you have to keep asking how or why that happened then you will never fully be engulfed in the magic of the film. I did however enjoy the movie more once getting into the characters. The acting and the outline of the story is what makes this movie work. I just wish it was put together better.
