(This review may contain spoilers).
I did see this film when it first came out in the cinema – actually with my niece, when she lived close enough to make going to the cinema easier. The first preview of this film appeared several months before it actually began showing in the cinema, so I assumed it had already shown… and had finished.
I’ve seen a few different things based on this particular myth. I did feel that this was an entertaining one. Admittedly, it didn’t contain any twists – the bad guys were fairly obvious – but I still really liked it as a fantasy film.
The actors in this film were particularly good and I felt that they played the characters especially well. Of course, there was the insta!romance, which I would have liked to see a bit more development of.
There were some really good humorous moments in this film. Even having watched it before, I was still able to enjoy those lines.
The characters were interesting and engaging, even though they were the very basic good-guy versus bad-guy. I find the well-balanced characters more interesting, personally.
I particularly liked the ending of this film. In my opinion, it was cleverly done.
If you’re looking for a simple fantasy film, I think this is definitely worth seeing. There are some violent moments, though, so it’s definitely not good for younger children.
