My reaction to the princess bride review is that is was pretty right on for the most part. But there were some spots that I did not agree with "Andre the Giant as Fezzik the Giant, a crusher who may not necessarily have a heart of gold. It is Shawn who tosses the princess to the Screaming Eels, with great relish." The reason why I do not agree with this is because in the film he was depicted as a big guy that was being influenced by a man for him to do his dirty work. And also the giant did not throw the princess in to the water of the screaming eels, in the movie she jumped in the water after the crew was distracted by the approaching ship. and another thing that shows the review to be wrong is when the giant actually punches the eel that was just about to eat the princess.
Another thing that dose not go with the film is the description of the swordsman. in the review it says when describing the man " a heroic swordsman with a secret." when in the film yes he is a heroic man but he really did not have any secrets. this is shown in the movie when he meets a man that he has never meet before and is going to go into a battle to the death, he decides to tell him his life story and why he is such a good swords man today.
but overall I found that the film was really good. I have always been a fan of the film for as long as I can remember. the film has all of the charteristics that every heroic film needs a bad guy, love, and a hero. This film as always fun to watch again and I hope to watch it again soon.
