It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Grandson: "A book? Has it got any sports in it?"
Granpa: "Are you kidding? Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles..."This is the initial Peter Falk description of the essence of the story we're about to watch, which contains all the right ingredients for a passionate fantasy tale capable of transport the viewers in a incredible adventure and hilarious experience.

My love for this movie cannot be explained. The other day, some guy told me that this movie was terrible. My response?"My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die"He looked at me like I was crazy, but, seeing as he manages to dislike this movie, I know he was really the crazy one.

The Princess BrideThis plot driven feature hits hard and fast due to its massive amount of plotline that it has to cover within just around 100 minutes which is the main reason why it works like a charm. William Goldman's screenplay might be gripping and exhilarating but it surely isn't smart due to uneven pace that makes the audience uncomfortable and feel like something is missing and been skipped. Rob Reiner still needs to ante up the game for this time the feature got saved due to the enormous potential of its script. The feature majorly fails on performance too for no one delivers; which comes as a shock especially from Robin Wright, except from Mandy Patinkin. The Princess Bride has a simple familiar love story genre plot that only works due to its witty and sometimes humorous one-liners which helps resemble it to practicality.

I had not seen this film, until it was set as 'text' by my son's deluded English teacher. This film is OK for the small hours of the morning, if you have very low expectations - but a classic? Give me a break! Shakespeare's a classic, Dickens, Orwell, Steinbeck - all who would have turned in their graves at this abysmal, one-dimensional script writing. A Spanish character, finally enacting long sought-after revenge and what does the writer come up with? "Son of a bitch!" Really! That's the best, wittiest and most memorable line you can come up with? Come back Welles, Kurosawa, Copolla, Ford, Scott, Kubrick, Lang, Bunuel, Capra, Wyler, Curtiz, Weir, etc. SERIOUSLY SUBSTANDARD - STANDARDS ARE SLIPPING, FOLKS.
