Not as good as the book but nice. |
|
A really interesting fantasy story. Though the movie is not as good as the book it is still really well done. The characters are very fun and the special effects are well done. A great modern fairy tale for the whole family. The best part of the story is the ghosts. |

A film that's better than the novel? I think so. |
|
This is one of the few movies that I actually like better than the book. The book was awesome, don't get me wrong, but the movie was just so reminiscent of The Princess Bride, another movie I think I like better than the book, that I just couldn't help but adore it. The movie is far funnier than the novel, there's no doubt about that, but it does it without completely ruining the integrity of the story. Robert DeNiro gives the performance of a lifetime I feel, and I honestly didn't recognize Claire Danes until quite far into watching the film the first time, which is a good thing in my book. All around, a great film for the adventure/fantasy film lover in all of us. |

Wonderful Adaptation from the Novel |
|
I have read (and re-read) the novel by Neil Gaiman, and I believe that the movie really captures the essence of the book well. I was a little skeptical at first while watching it, but I soon got over the minor changes to the storyline. In fact, many of the changes actually improved on the novel, such as the entire last twenty minutes or so of the film. I had always thought that the ending of the book was a little weak, even though it followed the pattern of many classic fairy tales. I also enjoyed the expansion of the role of Captain Shakespeare, which added a great comic element to the story. All in all, I think that this is a great adaptation of the novel, and I am looking forward to more films from Neil Gaiman's books. |
