A perfect Valentine movie

Rating: 9/10 (15 February 2011)

Every year on Valentines Day, my family watches this movie. I've seen it so many times, I know the plot, I know what happens when. I know who dies and who lives. Yet I still enjoy watching it every year! I think it's a very unique film for a few reasons. One, it takes a fantasy story from a book and brings it to life. Like many films. But this one seems to be just as good in the movie. I haven't read the book, but I figure it is very close Two, the action, adventure and humor in the movie keeps you on your toes. What starts out as a little boy playing a video game who is stopped by his grandfather who is read a book ends with a classic tale.
I rate this movie a 9/10. I know that there is swearing, and that's why it's one less. But the suspense, humor and serious dramatic emotional scenes all tie in perfectly.
