"As you wish"

Rating: 8/10 (30 August 2003)

A good friend of mine loves this movie and convinced me to watch it. It was a very sweet, fun fairy tale kind of movie and I very much liked how the movie was made(the story being read to a curious child by his grandfather).
This is very much a feel good fairy tale type of movie in the form of Ever After and The three musketeers. It's also a very sweet story with the standard "love conquers all" type of message but you believe it in the story of Buttercup and Westley.
I thought Mandy Patinkin was particularly good as the fierce yet inherently decent Inigo Montoya. And of coarse there's Cary Elwes for many a girl to swoon over-did anyone else notice how much of a resemblance he has to Brad Pitt?
My only negative, is a scene or two were surprisingly violent for this type of movie and people not expecting that maybe in for a surprise. But that is my only strong negative.
All in all a very sweet feel good movie that's well above average and is definitely worth checking out. My vote is 8 of 10.
