A Timeless Adventure

Rating: 8/10 (19 December 2018)

So, I really only watched this movie when I did to prepare for Once Upon a Deadpool, but I'm glad I finally came around to watching one of the classic fantasy-adventure films of the last century. Earnest and honestly funny, The Princess Bride captured my imagination (even at 24) for an hour and a half of pure joy and spectacle, even if the film is pretty dated by most 1987 standards. I don't think anyone can say the film isn't completely cheeseball at times with some of the dialogue and performances, but I'll take that sword fight between Westley and Inigo any day of the week. That, the timeless performances from Andre the Giant, a classic romance, and one hell of a revenge story with Inigo, and you have the adventure that is, The Princess Bride.
8.0/10
