Reel Talk:
Please be advised, this is not the kid friendly fairy tale we were taught as children, this one falls right in with the rest of this year's blood and gore movies that's starting this year off.Then you got the dialog and hi-tech gadgets that don't match the time period, but hey this is a Hollywood adaptation of the kiddie folk tale. The action is cool but at a certain point it becomes boring. Not one that you need to rush out to see.
