- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Clever and funny, as only a classic can be. [SPOILER ALERT] Even if this classic takes all the fantasy and magic out of a naturally fantastical legend, reducing it to cynical reality and a bunch of laughs. I'd've been happier if the bad guys had gotten their just desserts, but the ending was still hopeful. [END SPOILER] Four solid stars for the laughs.
