Customer Rating: Summary: Amazon, the Blu-Ray version of The Princess Bride was never released. Please DELETE this web page. Comment: This movie is a classic, and as of January 2009, it STILL has never been released as a Blu-Ray disc. So, Amazon.com, why don't you take it the hell out of your product catalog until it is actually available to those that want to buy it?
Just do it.
Customer Rating: Summary: Cheap and Quick Comment: Thanks for The Princess Bride. I've wanted this title for awhile but never wanted to pay a high price for it and I found it from this seller on Amazon. It was the right price and it came quickly. Thanks again. Customer Rating: Summary: Princess Bride Comment: This is a classic for our family. When our VHS tape would not play in a friends player we KNEW that it was time to replace and upgrade it with and to a DVD. Farm Boy and Buttercup are a true classic true love couple! Customer Rating: Summary: I do love this movie. Comment: With over 800 reviews at the time of this writing, it would be difficult for me to add anything that would be the least bit enlightening as to try to convince you to either buy or not buy this movie. I will say that I pay very little attention to features, technological enhancements, sound improvement or packaging. This type of stuff just is not on my radar screen.
About the only thing I can say is that I fell in love with this movie when I first saw it some fifteen years ago, have seen it numerous times since that date, and still love it. For me, it is funny, well acted, full of satire, relaxing to watch and Robin Wright is oh so HOT!
I think the first time I watch it, it was on a used copy of a VHS. I love it then. I recently saw it on one of the new special edition issues, and I love it just as much. This is one of those feel good movies for me. We live in such a cynical world, that it is nice to see a story like this, even if it is a bit cynical itself.
Customer Rating: Summary: 3 stars out of 4 Comment: The Bottom Line:
Though its reputation probably outstrips its actual worth, The Princess Bride is a fun adventure romp that features a series of stellar performances (including one from Cary Elwes, who seems miscast in almost every role he's in) and never takes itself too seriously; it's a supremely enjoyable film.
