It would be a remarkable movie if it held some features of Neil Gaiman's book. I understand that adapting a work to the cinema requires cutting and rewriting many elements and scenes, however in this one, most things that are inventively fantastic from the original book are not even mentioned, making it a weak, unexciting picture, with soulless characters from a poor script.
Lame adaptation from an interesting novel.

Terrible, the humor continuously falls flat, characters make mindless decisions, both De Niro performances are even poor. Only Mark Strong seems comfortable hamming it up throughout the picture. Can't believe De Niro, O' Toole, and McKellen were roped into this mess.

This is an absolutely wonderful movie, one of my favourites! It surprised me somehow, to me it just came out of nowhere, one day I just saw it on TV and immediately liked it.

It's a fantasy movie with witches, magic and adventures... but it's also just hilarious! :)

Lovely actors, great comedy... one highlight is definately Robert DeNiro as a very special pirate captain... amazing! But the whole cast was lovely and the movie is always great to watch. Love it!
