Title: Sickly sweet
Review: I was excited to see this film because I love fairy tales and those types of stories. This isn't really one. And compared to something truly wonderful like Pans Labrynth it's pedestrian and cliched.I can't actually believe how many good reviews it got, which just goes to show that one mans meet is another mans poison! I found it very sickly and just too cloying for my tastes.The cast were great however (waste of a great cast IMO) - well except for Robin Williams who over acted commendably. Jonathon Rhys Myers was good and the child actor was amazing. Just a pity they had such a weak story to work with.If you fancy checking it out though i would say to do so, it;s not an offensive film and obviously a lot of people really love it.Oh and it has Alex O'Loughlin in it for about all of three minutes but he steals the damn film with those minutes and he's very, very, very pretty here. So yeah two stars for Alex. It would have been one otherwise!
Is the review positive or negative?
