haha, went to catch this last night. Mixed up the timing - thought there was an earlier show; but ended up watching th 9.40pm show. Still, am glad I didn't switch to another film. Found the "bit"-players to be just as interesting, if not, even better than the 2 main leads (Charlie Cox and Claire Danes). Loved De Niro's "whoopsie" performance and his rag-tag crew of pirates. Pfeiffer is wicked as the bad-ass witch. And the brothers who killed each other provided dark comic humor, as do the aged but sprightly wall keeper. A wonderful fairy-tale (predictable, as my friend puts it).

I TOTALLY LOVED DE NIRO!!!! love Love LOOOOVE HIM!
ReplyDeletehe's sooo funny! couldn't stop laughing at his whoopsie performance either!!! totally enjoyed this movie =) gonna buy the book!
Neil Gaiman is a wonderfully gifted author, but can be rather dark and disturbing =(
Yes, he's a delight to watch (except when he don the petticoats... shudder)
ReplyDeletewell, be warned in advanced, read from the Wiki entry that the film version is actually a condensed & sans-gore version of the novel. Think the novel will indeed be darker and scarier...
