This is a fabulous movie, I really enjoyed the quality. Michelle Pfeiffer is great. HD DVDs have unbelievable picture and quality. I have both blu-ray and HD players. They are both phenominal.
I enjoyed this movie very much. Some adult elements, humor and adventurous storyline. The story had some fun magic, unexpected turns, well integrated CGI where needed, and ended with as a nice love story.
De Nero was amazing in this unexpected role as a "light loafered" tough-guy.
The service was great but the new HD DVD itself would not play continuously in my HD DVD player. Other HD DVD's played just fine. Maybe a software problem?? Not sure but we did get very frustrated trying to watch it and having to restart it over and over again. I am a little hesitant about purchasing more HD DVD's on ebay now for that reason.
You know, before this movie Robert De Niro was my favorite actor. After his role in this, I'm not so sure anymore. Besides him being a cross dressing gay guy in this movie, the movie is good. It has some cool visuals and the story is cool, except for De Niro being the way he is, this almost ruins the movie for me. If that does not bother you,then the movie is great! The HD DVD version looks and sounds great. Michelle's hotness almost makes up for De Niro...almost.
If you liked the flavor that The Princess Bride had, this is a movie you'll love as well. Sassy, comical, and just plain entertaining. It may look corny, but give it a chance!
I rented this movie a few days ago and it was phenominal. I am going to buy a copy today. The movie does not bring high expectations when I first saw the box, but when the story started playing I was hooked. The mystical quest and adventure engaged the viewer in a very intriguing story. Very Original and New to the Genre of Mystical Worlds. It's not witch craft like the Harry Potter Series but a magical Fairy Tale. Great for kids and adults. Very Impressive.
