Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Diagonaldi Very well executed

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Claire Sterling This is a lovely family/children's movie. It is a unique fairy tale that, though not very complex (remember it is mainly for children) is very clever and quite funny at times. The acting is very good and the sets and costumes are exquisite. I was thoroughly entertained and wish there were more movies like this out there. I rate movies by how much I wish they would not end so quickly, and this one was over far too fast.I am a big Tim Curry fan, and while this part did not really showcase his abilities, I still appreciated seeing him in this kind of movie. The characters are very rich and the attention to detail made some of the scenes magical. If you enjoy fairy tales don't pass this movie up!

Yuliya11 Whatever you do, if you liked the book, don't see this movie. The whole idea of the book is rather ruined in order to make it appeal to people who didn't read the wonderful book. Starting with the fact that it isn't actually a fantasy book. So many things are added simply to make it seem more "magical" when that isn't what the book was about, and many things are just entirely wrong or tossed out so there isn't confusion when an idea was really quite simple. Everything is overdone to the extreme. The simple elegance in the description in the book is lost. I would only recommend seeing this movie if all you want is a run-of-the mill fantasy princess movie. I wouldn't say it has spark or shine at all. Don't expect anything new or a decent depiction of the wonderful story and world created by Elizabeth Goudge.

davidurieli-1 This is a very uneven film however there is a huge amount to redeem it. The scenery wavers between beautiful and ravishing, the props and costumes are gorgeous and mostly appropriate although I would have sacrificed the darkness of the Noir side to give them a bit more class and style even if it was in black. The acting by the two main characters is really very good and the story is one the whole fairly charmingly adapted to the screen (something more or less impossible for really good literature of which the book is an example). There are many criticisms. The plot is partly made up and partly scrambled. Some of the effects are very poor. The acting of some parts is wooden at best The dialogue is often awful, and the loss of the vicar along with Robin in his real role is a missed opportunity. I hated Robin's costume which was far too reminiscent of clockwork orange. But still, a very nice evening out.

eon_rain The set, and the props, the clothing, they were very well done for this movie. I loved watching some of the beautiful scenery such as the forest...and watching the unique clothes flow. However the only thing that I really didn't like about this movie was the acting and a little on the weak story. I think that Natascha McElhone, made a horrible effort on her part when acting the moon princess at the wedding, when she told them of the curse. It seemed completely off, her voice, even her emotion.But think about it, this is a movie for children, not for adults! Reviews and comments from adults saying how horrible the movie was to them shouldn't really mean all that much, considering the target audience. Girls love unicorns, boys love strong lions, all of these aspects were taken care of, and gives the child imagination & adventure. This movie is good for children.All in all, this movie kept my attention the entire way through, even if there was a few flaws. But for a kids movie, they have done very well.
