never have read or see the bard original work and i can not begin to compare this work to his story . so i would not . instead i will just say that this be a very entertaining story with some very nice special effect ( and some that look a little low in budget and but still decent enough to enjoy ) . i think all the primary actor do a fine job performing . the style of magic seem more black than white and be almost certain to offend anyone easily upset about that sort of thing and but i think it be well do .
