i anticipate this movie to be decent and possibly cliché and but i be completely wrong . charlie cox ( i have never hear of him until now ) play an incredibly good lead man while he be so earnest and romantic and me and my friend that saw the movie with me totally fell in love with him . claire dane and who i do like before ( love her in romeo and juliet ) and make me enjoy her even more . her acting be fantastic and i couldn not even tell that she be american . the chemistry between her and charlie cox be extremely good and the casting be quite perfect . robert deniro and michelle pfeiffer be equally well cast while deniro a that gay pirate . priceless and priceless . i laugh so hard at that one scene where septimus come on the ship . oh my god and wow . pfeiffer play a decent villain and i like her a the snippy mother in hairspray . but she have the right amount of melodrama and snide comment throughout the movie . overall and it be funny ( but not slap stick at all . ) and romantic and the special effect weren not totally frequent but when they be and they be great while the cameo from ricky gervais and peter otoole be also well place . i totally recommend this movie to anyone who like fantasy movie like the princess bride or even lord of the ring . it keep my interest the entire time and i will be buy the dvd when it come out .
