It was definitely worth the wait - absolutely loved it! We all did.
Thought everything about it was fab, so impressed.
10/10 from us.
Same here, I missed it when it originally came out.
I agree totally, great film and worth the wait, better than I was expecting and glad I got to see it on the big screen.

What a stunner! And I don't just mean Angelina Pitt! Glorious, sumptuous, immersive, vivid, captivating and so very realistic - the scenery blows this away.
Angelina was made for this part. Thought Elling Fanny was a tad bland though. No idea why the boy Stephan had a Scottish accent as it clearly wasn't set in Scotland - otherwise the old king could have been Billy Connolly! Also how come the Crow was Irish? He looked like something out if Westlife. Btw he was bare when he first transformed, them miraculously gained clothes each time (thankfully!)
I think Maleficent has a thing for the Crow anyway. Bet they were an item.
Strange choice for a kids Sun screening I thought though. It must be a little frightening for tots, unlike say the original Sleeping Beauty.
8/10
Thank you chelle1973 and debs1 for my codes.

Good to see most of FMUK Manchester when watching this yesterday.
The film was excellent, despite all the good reviews I was a bit wary after seeing another reimagining the average Snow White and the Huntsmen, but needn't have worried.
Angelina was fantastic and the film did a good job of showing the other side of the story without completely rewriting everything. It looks great and has all the fun and excitement of a classic Disney movie. 9/10
Nice to see Groot getting some other work as well!

Brilliant! I'm glad I watched it at the cinema. Loved the beauty of the scenes on the big screen.
I was sat around some poorly behaved adults however, 1 kicking my chair and another allowing child to watch another film on his phone after he had got to the cinema late and used his torch to blind everyone. Another on his phone throughout.
Good job the film was super
