Whimsical and Charming

Rating: 9/10 (9 May 2013)

The book was long and boring, but the film was the sheer opposite. Funny and strongly written, The Princess Bride is a wonderful movie, despite its low effects.
Buttercup (Robin Wright) falls in love with a poor man named Wesley (Carey Elwes) and are together until his death by the Dread Pirate Roberts.
Buttercup is then engaged to Prince Humperdinck, a selfish man who wishes to start a war. She does not love him, however, because Wesley is the true owner of her heart.
She is then captured by three men who claim to be circus performers but is recaptured by "The Man in Black" who turns out to be Wesley, who inherited the ship of his captor.
Buttercup is later whisked away from her wedding by the two surviving kidnappers and Wesley, free to be together for the rest of their lives.
