Movie Review: The Princess Bride

"The Princess Bride", it's a classic. It's a pretty good movie to be honest. I really liked the idea of a grandpa reading the story to his grandson. It's quite unique compared to other movies. Also, despite the movie being produced in the 80's, it has realistic scenes. I would say, that Fezzik's (the giant) voice sounded a bit artificial, but I'm not sure. I could definitely say that he was huge. I could even say he's mysterious. I never saw a man that big. No wonder he's called the 8th wonder of the world. Overall, it was entertaining to watch.
The basic plot is this. Buttercup and Westley have a romance together. However  Westley suddenly dies due to the infamous pirate Dread Pirate Robert. At least this is what Buttercup heard. Spoiler Alert! Westley became the pirate. However not knowing this, Buttercup had to marry the prince of the kingdom, Prince Humperdink, who plotted to murder her just to start a war.
Recognizing this, Westley went to save her. He fought a Spaniard, a giant, and a genius. The genius, Vizzini was killed. The Spaniard, Inigo went on to seek revenge against a six fingered man who killed his father who was working under the prince. The Giant ends up helping Westley and Buttercup.
The only thing that I could say that was negative were the cliches. It wasn't really surprising when Westley reappeared. It was really predictable. It had the cliche with the characters being immortal. The action, was not really enough. About 60% was dialogue, and I basically believe that action kind of lacked a bit. I wished for more fighting.
I loved the plot though. It might be a common plot, but it was good. The whole movie was just fun. Especially with Inigo. I absolutely loved the line "You killed my father. Prepare to die", his accent and repeating was just so hilarious.
I would like to recommend this to the fans of movies with a mix of romance and action. The theme 'truelove' fits in pretty well. In a nutshell, it was pretty great.
I personally think that Westley showed the most amount of leadership. He knew when to fall back and he knew when to go. He was doing a good job on leading the group.
