I liked this film very much. It's pure entertainment and fun.

Rating: 9/10 (20 October 2005)

I watched this movie in class while learning about medieval history. When the teacher said we were going to watch the Princess Bride, the class cheered. At, first I was thinking the Princess Diaries, but this movie is 1000 times better. It is pretty much a classic fairy-tale with some twists. It has scary eels, cheesy rats, giants and fencers, riddles, and a whole lot more. In the beginning, the movie follows around a bunch of different characters, until it gets to the main person. I thought that was pretty unique. This film also goes in many other directions, a normal fairy-tale wouldn't do. The most definitive example is when the main character says "There is a shortage of perfect breasts in the world, you wouldn't want to ruin yours." when the princess is about to stab herself in the heart. There are some flaws in this fairy-tale however. Of course, the rodents are pretty cheesy, but I can let that one pass. It is kind of romantic, (or, very romantic) for those who dislike it. The storyline is fairly predictable.
-All Spoilers Below!!!- But, the main flaw is that Wesley, the main character, seem to perfect. He is better at fencing than the Spaniard. He is stronger than Fezzik the giant. (Well, defeats him.) To top that off, he outwits Vizzini and Prince Humperdink.
-Ending of Spoilers-
So, if you are into romance, or classic-like movies, or are perhaps trying to see any movie that's good, this is the movie for you.
8.5/10
