- Yes, I'm sure I like the movie better than the book. As weird as that is, I do!
- The cast list is awesome! I even caught a few more famous actors this time around! Such a great line up!
- I like the ending up until the witch starts crying. That was kinda lame. Other than that, I like the movie ending better than the book ending. The movie was more exciting.
- I think the side characters took the spot light away from the two main characters. They were fine, but the other characters really made this movie.
- Michelle Pfeiffer was brilliant! She almost stole the show.
- Robert De Niro was hilarious! This was such a different/ weird role for him, and he pulled it off with Pizzazz!
- The movie was really humorous. I was laughing a lot!
- There is a lot going for this film: humor, action, flying pirate ship, witches, etc. It was very enjoyable.
Goodreads Bit: Hopelessly crossed in love, a boy of half-fairy parentage leaves his mundane Victorian-English village on a quest for a fallen star in the magical realm. The star proves to be an attractive woman with a hot temper, who plunges with our hero into adventures featuring witches, the lion and the unicorn, plotting elf-lords, ships that sail the sky, magical transformations, curses whose effects rebound, binding conditions with hidden loopholes and all the rest. My Thoughts: - I never say this, but I think I might actually enjoy the movie more than I did the book. - This was pretty dry, and there wasn't a lot of emotion. - There was a pretty descriptive sex scene at the beginning. - There was also an f-bomb. - The whole book felt like someone was telling me a story. It was like someone talking at you and not with you. I like to "feel" something and go on the journey with the characters. - I liked some of the characters, but I just didn't connect to any of them. - It was a fun story, but I wanted a little more out of it.
