Fantastic film.
I have just seen the movie for the first time and i am kicking myself that
I didn't watch this sooner because this is fantastic.
The Story is great there are just so many things going on at once and the
film never made me bored because sometimes with films even great films have
some parts where you start to lose interest but this kept me glued to the screen.
First of all the film was hilarious The Ghost Brothers really had me cracking
up and Robert De Niro doing the cancan was the funniest thing I have seen in Ages.
The Cast was phenomenal as well.
Charlie Cox did a great job as the lead because I have never seen him in anything
else its as if he has disappeared which is odd because he did a good job
I think I have fallen in love with Claire Danes she looked so beautiful
and her acting was perfect especially in the scene with the mouse.
Michelle Pfeiffer was a great Villain she really stole the show her performance
was flawless.
Mark Strong gave a good performance as Septimus because the film needed
another Villain as well as the witch and his character was interesting.
My one problem with the film was the fact they underused some great characters.
Robert De Niro was not in the film enough for me, he didn't appear until nearly 1 hour in and he did not have enough scenes he was funny and should have been in the film longer it seemed a waste of De Niro's talents.
Ricky Gervais only had a few scenes as well and his role was only a small one.
I loved the film though and was really shocked to find that it did poor
at the Box Office, A part of me wants a Sequel because it would be interesting
to see the characters again but I have a feeling that a Sequel could be poor
because the story would have to be original not like this one which was based
off a book.
