Today I had the pleasure of seeing this movie! Now keep in mind that this picture is rated PG and with good reason. There is some rather frightening creatures and events, including swordfighting, that may be too intense for children under say 8 years old. Now with the warning out of the way, this is an awesome movie! It transports me back to my childhood and the fantastical realms inhabited by ogres, trolls, faieries, a scary David Bowie (replaced in this movie by Nick Nolte), and great adventure! This is for the kid in all of us, and to be shared with those who actually are kids. The effects are magnificent. The story is superb; it is based on
books by
Tony DiTerlizzi. This magnificent writer of young adult fantasy fiction adheres to the philosophy
Never Abandon Imagination! How can someone with that philosophy be anything but superbly creative! This is a
MUST SEE ON THE BIG SCREEN and then buy it to add to your collection. I saw this during today's Sunday matinee and even though the theater was filled with kids, it was quiet because they were so enthralled with the movie. Truly captivating! IMHO, this is the
Neverending Story,
Labyrinth, and
Princess Bride for a whole new generation! As an aside, while watching this movie I kept coming back to the
Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book by Terry Jones (Author), Brian Froud (Illustrator), Wherefore Art? (Designer), Ruth Rowland (Drawings)...you might want to check it out too or give it as a gift to some youngster in your life who enjoyed this movie!
