I watched this movie with my sister when I was little and fell in love with it, since I have read hte book about 2 times....and Im wondering what everyone else thinks of this fairy tale?
I personally think the book is better htan the movie, as most book-movie comparisons go. What do you think? <3 rememberTHEforgotten |

Have read it a few times around, and I keep liking it more after every read. The combination of adventure, humor, cheesy romance, evil villians, twists in the plot, yet more adventure and humor, sword fights and an open ending is nearly perfect.
I am not fond of comparing movies to the books they're based upon since I went to the movies to watch Troy (Someday I'll explain why I despise that movie with the passion of one million supernovas). However, I'd say the adaptation is pretty good and captures well the scent of the original text without totally derailing the story. Thumbs up.
