The Princess Bride (DVD) Review

Author: Britt Gillette

Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Music, The Princess Bride should’ve been awarded the designation of best comedy of the year. Having built a large cult following since its 1987 release, The Princess Bride continues to entertain whole new generations of fans. Its enduring tale and timeless humor are certain to cement its place among the hallowed halls of the movie classic elites. The Princess Bride is one of the few movies that every person absolutely should see – if you miss it, then you’ll miss out on an entire world of fun…

When a kindly old grandfather (Peter Falk) reads a story to his grandson (Fred Savage), his grandson is in for the story of a lifetime… The Princess Bride follows the story of the beautiful maiden, Buttercup (Robin Wright), who falls in love with a poor stable boy named Westley (Cary Elwes). But the two are torn apart when Westley is captured by a band of pirates, and Buttercup is kidnapped by the evil Prince Humperdinck (Chris Sarandon) who intends to make her his wife.

But when the Dread Pirate Roberts (who just might be Westley) arrives on the scene, he’s intent on rescuing Buttercup from the clutches of the evil prince. To do so, he must overcome a series of obstacles, and he must take on the skills and strength of a master swordsman, Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin), and a massive giant, Fezzik (Andre the Giant). When the two men find out that the Dread Pirate Roberts is more than a match for their combined skills, they join him in his noble effort to rescue the princess bride, Buttercup. But Prince Humperdinck and his evil henchman (including a six-fingered man who may have killed Inigo Montoya’s father) stand in their way…

The Princess Bride plays host to a number of hilarious scenes, but among the best is a sword fight which takes place between Westley and Inigo Montoya atop a large cliff. The two men trash talk to each other in rested voices while a well-choreographed fencing match takes place. It simply needs to be seen in order to enjoy the level of hilarity. In addition, the late Andre the Giant shows off his abilities as a likeable and loveable big guy with a big heart. All the various characters and their conflicts are drawn together with an original score featuring organ music that highlights the climax of each struggle. It fits nicely with the overall fantasy theme and makes The Princess Bride a better film from every perspective…

Non-stop fun and laughter from beginning to end, The Princess Bride is one of the most memorable movies you’ll ever see. It’s easy to become involved in the plight of the lead characters, and the exotic Middle-Age fairy tale locale makes for an always interesting setting. The Princess Bride is the perfect family movie for parents to enjoy along with their children. It’s one of those rare films that’s more than able to walk the thin line between adult and child humor. Because of its brilliant screenplay and unrivaled comic value, The Princess Bride is a definite must-see film…

How do you beat the giant bowser at the end of the super princess peach video game for nintendo ds?

ive had it for almost a year and i cant pass it!! please help me!! i dont know how to defeat it…

Always check for a walkthrough at gamefaqs.com. I looked through one and found it for you:

Boss Fight: Bowser

He takes 20 hits total to defeat. His attacks consists of charging, breath a big fire beam, chucking hammers, spitting fireballs and a stomp that creates a shockwave. It takes 4 hits to register a real hit. He charges into a statue to create a vibe crystal. After 2 (8) hits, he’ll stomp at you continuously cause shockwaves then it’s time to get 4 more hits. After the 3rd (12th) hit, he’ll cry and jump high and cause large hammers to fall. Avoid them and get ready for 4 more hits. He’ll get mad after the 4th (16th) hit and he will spit fireballs
like crazy. 4 more hits and Round 1 is yours.

Final Boss Fight: Bowser 2
He’s enormous. He starts off stomoing his fist and making spike balls fall. Then he sends out a circle of hammers that spread out followed by a different pattern of fireballs for each hit. Next comes the Bob-oms. Scoop one up and hold it until it flashes then toss it up and make it explode in Bowser’s face. After the 4th hit, he’ll try to heal himself. Use the Joy Vibe tornado to burst his bubble then finish him off.
