This movie was recommended by a friend from work. I've been known to not particularly be a fan of love stories or fantasy movies and this movie was a bit of both. However, I'm going to use it to prove a point. As with many other forms of art, quality is quality. I can't stand country music but a good song would shine through (wouldn't it?). Anyway, the movie does something that is somewhat rare these days: it drops you into a world that you know nothing about on an adventure that seems to have no boundaries or rules. At times it is sweet and other times it is funny but it is always mysterious. The movie is somewhat cheesy but despite being a fantasy it is always believable. Many of the reviews that I read compared it favorably to "Princess Bride". For the life of me I can't figure out why there wasn't more run on this movie before it was released. I'm not saying that it was the second coming of the Godfather but it was a really nice movie for all ages and it had an all-star cast (Michelle Pfeiffer, Claire Danes, Robert De Niro, Peter O'toole, many others). I watched it with Rebecca and her brother and all three of us enjoyed it immensely despite having decidedly different tastes in movies. follow me at https://ihatebadmovies.com

10+ friendly for sure. Not much violence, other than sword play. Great fantasy love story. Highly recommend. Love stars! :)

I didn't know what to expect when I put this on, but I thought it was awesome! A modern fairytale for (semi) grownups by Neil Gaiman, with sky-pirates, ancient witches, 'the wall' and a leading role for the northern pole star. Great cast, great setting, great storytelling. It's not perfect, but it's got that genuine feeling to it that most Hollywood films miss nowadays. This is a new favorite of mine!

I remember watching this movie as a kid and thinking it was ok. I decided to rewatch it after reading the book and now I think that it’s absolutely terrible. They’ve made a complete mess of the story and the characters. It’s like someone read a short summary about the book and decided to make a movie based just on that. The book was magical. This movie is not...

This is by far one of my best adventure, fantasy and romance movie. I'll never get bored watching it.
