Wonderful, unexpected

Rating: Null/10 (7 August 2017)

This fantasy fixes all the problems with fantasy before it. One movie to rule them all. Gone are the millions of orcs fighting a pointless battle against millions of elves. Without these images, things like Warcraft would not be possible. Yet, Warcraft makes far more sense than the battles of Lord of the Rings.
And the story is a gem. Meaningful characters kept to a tight minimum. Twists and turns. A complicated story made to feel simple. After all they are so many links! The witches wanting the star. The boy needing the star for a silly promise. The prince wishing for a jewel, ignorant of the fact that the boy is also a contender. Yet Gaiman's way of unfolding the story makes everything seem so easy, so clear.
Finally the effeminate captain puts Analise This to shame.
