Wonderful movie. Funny, and scary, and surprising, and just consistently entertaining and compelling.

Please go see it. You can’t go wrong. It’s got something for everyone. If you doubt that a movie marketed as half adventure, half fairy tale, and half romance can be all these things and those above, the movie will prove itself to you. Unlike the book, it never once mentions the word “fairy,” or even the word “Faerie.” So you needn’t worry it’s too fantasy for you. The Robert DeNiro character is hilarious, and if you’ve ever enjoyed seeing him do comedy, or thought it might be nice to see him swordfighting, this is your movie. I can’t even tell you what the funniest thing he does is, as it ruins the surprise. Ricky Gervais is in it! Rupert Everett is in it! Peter O’Toole is in it!

I can’t remember the last movie I saw with no boring parts. I can’t remember the last movie I enjoyed so much. It’s just so good.
