Long time ago

Rating: Null/10 (22 December 2008)

A feel good fairy tale that one would tell their children as a bedtime story. Pretty much predictable without any complexities involved. The movie is loaded with CGI and actors which gives it a rich look.
º Charlie Cox transformation from a meek lover to sword fighting valiant prince is good. Performance-wise doesn't create any fireworks.
º Claire Danes as Yvaine manages to draw attention with her mesmerising smile and looks. She definitely carries herself very well as a star. Her chemistry with Charlie Cox deserves a special mention.
º Robert De Nero has so many accolades in his past that it becomes impossible to judge if he has done full justice and we little mortals are incapable to judge the performance. So safe to say "No Comments".
º Special mention is reserved for Michelle Pfeiffer who infuses life into the role of Lamia, the witch. She was an absolute delight to watch.
º Sienna Miller, seriously she picked the wrong role. Anytime Yvaine to gold-digger Victoria. Rupert Everett was wasted in the role.
º Its good to see Peter 'O Toole.
Worth a day's out activity for an one-time watch with kids.
