Princess Buttercup and Prince Humperdi(n)ck? Read between the lines(LOL).

Rating: 5/10 (1 August 2015)

Basically a fairytale sort of film with some black humor thrown in, that young children won't understand. I have seen a lot of fairy tale films, and this film can be considered a passable entry in that genre.
A grandfather(Peter Falk) reads a book to his sick grandson (Fred Savage). Scenes of the reading occasionally interrupt the main story. The story is about a girl of wealth Buttercup(Robin Wright) who falls in love with a lowly farm boy Westly(Cary Elwes). This young man, aware of the great gulf between them, decides to go abroad and make his fortune and return a wealthy, worthy man fit enough to marry a princess. However complications ensue that involves a certain prince Humperdinck(Chris Sarandon) who wants to marry Buttercup.
Five years later, Buttercup reluctantly agrees to marry Prince Humperdinck after hearing news that Westly is dead. Before the wedding, she is kidnapped by three outlaws: a Sicilian boss named Vizzini (Wallace Shawn), a giant named Fezzik (André the Giant), and a Spanish master fencer named Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin), who seeks revenge against the six-fingered man who killed his father. Two separate forces pursue them: Prince Humperdinck with a complement of soldiers, and a masked man dressed in black.
Who is the mysterious man in black? What is going to happen next? Watch the film to find out more.
I do not consider the high rating people have given to this film. I personally find films like The Neverending Story, The Wizard Of Oz and Return To Oz, Conan The Barbarian, Krull and Paperhouse much superior.
Thank you for reading this review. May you live long and prosper.
