I can´t believe I bought this...

Rating: Null/10 (23 April 2003)

...without viewing it first. This is, sadly, one of the worst fantasy movies I have seen. Everyone except the leading actress seems to think this is a comedy. Constant jokes, no thrill, hardly any fantasy and a rushed storyline in the beginning... I believe this could have been a very good movie if it was a bit more serious and had the same character as, for example, "The neverending story" or "Legend". It had very little fantasy elements, which disappointed me, as I was expecting more magic. I also think a flashback to an earlier point in Westley´s and Buttercup´s life would have been nice. I can not seem to make up my mind if this was an attempt for a comedy or a parody...I would imagine that children find this amusing though. I would also imagine that the book is better than the movie (they almost always are!). I will probably never see it again, unless I have a very bad hangover and can fall asleep watching it.
