Summary: As you wish
Comment: You got a evil prince who wants war with a neighboring kingdom. A pirate chasing after his true love. A giant, and a swordsman built on revenge with the classic fantasy story of good vs evil. You will find this fantasy movie to be in the vein of Willow, Legend, Labyrinth, the 10th kingdom, The never ending story.
Its a pretty good movie but from a guys point of view there was too much "true love" nagging on your emotions and not enough action/fight sequences. But then again since this was filmed in the 80s I guess newer viewers might be jaded by all of Hollywood's special effects.

Summary: The Princess Bride - More than just a fairy tale
Comment: This classic movie brings viewers of all ages back to a time when movie making and storytelling were one in the same. No special effects were needed, just good acting and a great story line.
I highly recommend this movie!

Summary: Fun movie, fun book
Comment: This movie was my first introduction to the story of The Princess Bride and for years I loved watching it. This movie is seriously a hit for all ages. It keeps young children interested and gives the adults jokes to laugh at. The comedy with sarcastic undertones, the simplicity of good vs bad, the impossible feats accomplished and of course, the awesome performances from the actors were all players in what makes this movie fun to watch. There is a prince and a princess, bandits, fighting, magic, and love. All under two hours. And yet for all the times I've watched this film, I never knew about the book by William Goldstein. Folks,this is one good read. The humor is more prominent than what you pick up on from the movie and it gives you background info on characters like Fezzik and Indigo. While it is much more encompassing than the movie, the movie stays true to the book which is another reason to like it. I would recommend both movie and book to those looking for a fun plot to follow.

Summary: True classic
Comment: What is it about this movie that makes it so wonderful? I have been captivated by the story since I was small and still love it to this day. Here is a rampant fairy tale that seems perfectly aware of its situation and is not afraid to blast out the cliches and dry wit just to prove it's not taking itself seriously (which it never would). But the nature of the movie is that despite its tongue-in-cheek silliness is that it still maintains true heart.

Summary: A classic
Comment: A great story, excellent acting. The shorts with actors as they are today, 20 years on, are very good.

Once upon a time a feisty old grandfather told his bedridden grandson a tongue-in-cheek fairy tale... In the mythical kingdom of Florin farm boy Westley rides off one day to make his fortune leaving his true love Buttercup waiting patiently behind. Unfortunately his ship is beset by pirates and Buttercup grieves for many years believing Westley dead. She reluctantly agrees to marry Prince Humperdinck knowing that she will never love him. Humperdinck has his own plans for the marriage however--he intends to have Buttercup kidnapped and murdered in order to set off a border war that will strengthen his power. But she is eventually rescued by a mysterious pirate who turns out to be Westley in disguise. Their reunion does not last long though and the pair must face numerous obstacles before they can live happily ever after.System Requirements:Running Time; 98 mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:Â ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating:Â PG UPC:Â 027616092199 Manufacturer No:Â M109219
