Am I the only one who liked it?


I thought it was funny and a good time. It is definately not my favorite film, but it was a breath of fresh air. And did i mention funny?
Is it just me?

I usually love these kinds of films, based on fairytales but with a modern twist. So I really wanted to like this movie but I hated it.

reply

I loved it, it was exactly what I was hoping it would be. Funny, exciting, a few twists here and there and it remained true to the original darkness of the fairy tale. Well done Tarsem!

I enjoyed it. I loved the twist to this old fairytale. I found it engaging. I think its something for the whole family. Beautiful setting. I loved the costumes. And I thought it was great the way it ended. Naturally, I had to go find the song at the end to download.

SO DID I!! Loved it!

I loved the evil queen's deadpan humor.

People go in expecting some magical unicorn fairy-tale and they weren't given one. Oh, well.

I HAD A BLAST. My guts hurt from laughing.

Just enjoy life.

I loved it. I thought it was fun and funny. I don't care for Julia most of the time, but I thought she did fine. Everyone did well, actually. The costumes and sets were gorgeous.

Everyone was good in it and the fantasy element was unique (loved those puppet monsters). Julia Roberts was funny while devious and somewhat sinister. Lily Collins was adorable, can't wait to her again. Armie Hammer was suprisingly hilarious was a great leading man (can't wait to see what he does as The Lone Ranger). And finally, all the dwarfs stole every scene they were in, absolutely hysterical.

I liked it!! :) Not the most amazing movie but I'm a Tarsem fan and I thought it was beautiful.

Funny and innocent in a sense and I always enjoyed movies like this as a kid! A Good Ol Fairytale! :)

I saw it yesterday -- the saturday matinee in a theater loaded w/ kids. Many of the jokes and references went over their heads (fine with me.) I'm a middle aged woman -- and did enjoy the movie. Is it great cinema? Certainly not. but it's sweet, and fun. End of story. Nathan Lane was terrific; the dwarfs (or dwarves, depending on which dictionary you use) were skillful and had some great lines. Julia? Adorable.

Just a decent family film.

I just saw it and I thot it was pretty good!
The actors had good chemistry.
Like othrs hv said, its a fun, family movie.
Don't know what all the hating is about

I loved it. A nice mix of kid-friendly and adult-friendly humor with no pointless potty humor.

It's a much more authentic and innocent fairy tale film than I was expecting as well. The trailer would have you believe it's a full on cynical Shrek lampooning of fairy tales... but it's really not. Roles are reversed and tongue in cheek humor is there but it is a classic fairy tale at heart.

Some of the humor did fall flat for me but overall I really enjoyed this. Charming and visually captivating.

reply

I enjoyed it I knew going in it was going to be light fare (so obvious from the trailer to me what sort of film it was). Loved the artwork, costuming, the humor and tongue-in-cheek script, and the spirit of the film. It's definitely a film I will want to add to my collection for those times I just want a good, fun, light movie to watch

reply

I enjoyed it. My adult daughter and I saw it yesterday morning. It was fun fare that made us giggle and smile. I wasn't expecting an epic drama - I went for the fun of the movie. And that's exactly what I received.

reply

It was a lot better than I expected but was hoping for a better film since it seemed a bit too comical at times.
