Rob's Movie Vault

As usual, Griffin manages to make a movie that looks - and also sounds, thanks to Daniel Hildreth's lush score - as though it cost about a thousand times more than it did. As before, he brings the Bard to the screen with no fuss or pomp.

Rated: A

Loved it and so did my children. Fun, joyful with enough shade to balance the light.
