    So about the blood being a different color: Primus is a prince of royal blood, or as they used to say, blue blood. He literally has blue blood because he's royalty. I always loved that detail. This movie slaps.

    Regarding Tristan becoming King; he's simply the living male heir to hold the stone. If any of his mother's brothers, or their sons, had gotten a hold of the stone they'd be king. I love how it was never mentioned the entire time that Tristan's mom was a Princess of Stormhold; I thought that was a great plot twist and fun in retrospect; realizing that was Tristan fighting with, then against, his own Uncle.
    The creators were able to cleverly (IMO) keep the siblings from seeing each other so Septimus never had the chance to work out that this kid was his sister's son.

    In the novel, Tristran was the heir because his mother Una was the firstborn of the Lord of Stormhold. Nobody bothered questioning Una about a wedding.

    The scene where Shakespeare's men salute Septimus's men before dueling and then Septimus's men do the same only to have Shakespeare's men attack them instantly is hilarious.
    Also Lamia is a great villain.

    Just a note: the only reward for the princes finding the star is to be king forever because they could eat the star's heart like the witches would have. To become king they have to find and restore the Stormhold Ruby. The star would just be a nice bonus.

    Yes. I agree this is one of the best standalone movies. Great cast, storyline and pacing. It’s in my DVD collection of movies that I like to watch again and again, like The Princess Bride. I never get bored of it. I also really like the movie The Prince of Persia and was disappointed there wasn’t a sequel to it.

I think it’s also worth mentioning Matthew Vaughn’s direction here. He established the logistics of this world very clearly thru those sweeping camera shots. I’ve been a fan of his later works because of this film and I like how entertaining his movies are despite its ridiculousness (including Argylle 😅)

    Septimus's death is the most "tragic" because he dies to protect his sister and nephew, even though he was not a nice man anywhere in the movie. The movie doesn't hit you over the head with this as most modern movies do, so it feels more impactful.
    Also, google "tragedy", because it has a more specific dramatic meaning than the general meaning people think of. It's not just "unfortunate", it's "tragicc".
    Tragedy: "the sorrowful or terrible events encountered or caused by a heroic individual"
    He wasn't a heroic person before he gave his life for his family, rather than taking lives to promote himself, so his last minute sacrifice turns his death from a mere death, to a tragedy.
    So many of the moments in the book/movie were crafted that way to increase the impact of every scene. Every scene is foreshadowing or a call back. It just ties together so well into a package of supreme entertainment.

    5 act: the exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution
    The exposition (you got at the 1st act)
    rising action (the second exposition)
    Climax (the fight at the inn)
    Falling action (everything else)
    Resolution (final battle)
    Everyone has simplified the 5 act play to a 3 act play, and people running out of acts don't bother to look to the more Shakespearean 5-act longer play.

    I enjoyed watching this movie when I was in middle school. Sure some might say that this movie is marketed towards a female demographic who enjoy romance, royalty and swashbuckling adventures. But there are some moments that I enjoyed like the fight scenes and the stuff with the sky pirates. Plus the romance in this movie is really good. It’s pretty much like the Princess Bride, which is also one of my favorite movies.

You heard of the allegations, and instead of viewing them As allegations (Which they are), you viewed the allegations as definitive proof of what was alleged, and concluded he is a piece of shit, without actual proof of it. Innocent until Proven Guilty is still how these things work. If he is proven to have done the allegations, go for it, shit all over him, but you better wait until It's proven. The amount of people who lost their jobs and reputation over false allegations is big enough. The Johnny Depp situation should have made us wiser on understanding how Allegations are not evidence.

    even though the movie and the book are pretty different from one another, I can appreciate how both versions tell the story. I will say though that I do prefer the ending in the book where yvaine and tristan go on to have more adventures on the long journey back from the wall to stormhold. We only get little tidbits about the adventure they go on while tristan's mother rules the kingdom in the meantime, but idk seems like more fun I guess. Plus it gives tristan more time to learn about the world he's supposed to rule over instead of just BOOM suddenly king, but i get why the movie ended it that way. Nice neat little bow and all that.

    To me it made sense Lamia let them go at the end because Yvaine hadn't yet reconciled with Tristan, Yes she saw he came to rescue her, but as far as she knew, He had already made up with Victoria, and Lamia notices that Yvaine shines a little brighter when Tristan arrives. And Lamia knew she'd shine much brighter if they reconciled because she saw they were in love. Admittedly she did wait too long for suspense purposes, should've done it right after they talked lol. But, she does mention it in the Inn scene, that she would have rather have Yvaine happy but it's better than no heart at all, she just got greedy in the end.

    Love this movie, and the book also, even though they are quite different in many respects. I appreciate the changes in the movie that left out the gruesome elements from the book. I also love both endings; the movie ending was perfect for the movie, but the book ending was perfect for the book, too. I re-watch and re-read, and thoroughly enjoy each.
    As noted in other comments, I also don't see Lamia's behavior at the end of the movie as changing her mind, but instead, of being very calculated. Early on, although it appears somewhat humorously in the movie, she cheated her sisters in order to be given the remaining bit of heart and pursue the star herself. Then she later commented how Yvaine's frightened heart was better than no heart at all, but Lamia truly wanted as much as she could get. By giving Yvaine the opportunity to reunite with Tristan, and feel happy and feel loved, even briefly, Lamia was maximizing her own benefit from the improved condition of Yvaine's heart. How fitting, then, that it was the power of Yvaine's heart that was Lamia's downfall.

    remember The Sorcerer's Apprentice with Nicolas Cage and Alfred Molina. i think it was pretty solid standalone fantasy movie.

    I love this movie so much! I once watched it on DVD four times in one day. No regrets.

    THE BEST stand alone film ever!
    #2 for me, would have to be Titan A.E.

    Yes, the ending was very "happily ever after" but I actually thought it fit the story better than the book ending, which was...bittersweet.

    I watched this on cinema when I was 9. It was such a good time being a kid.

    I love this movie. It’s nice to see it get some love. My husband prefers Princess Bride but I like this one better.
    Funny story, I found this movie and originally watched it to see Henry Cavill and he’s hardly in it. I stayed because if the great story and the humor.

    I'll have to disagree (partially) on this movie not getting a sequel. The universe is so captivating that I'd love to see new stories in it.

    Id probably go for more an 8 out of 10, but that 10/10 soundtrack bucks it up to a 9 overall for me

    Yeah I never understood why Lamia chose to free Yvaine rather than kill Tristan right there, only to try to kill them both later on anyways. Would have made more sense for Tristan or Una to knock her to the ground and have Tristan free Yvaine instead.
    I also wish the movie had showed what happened to the Unicorn.

      Lamia wanted Yvaine to quickly experience (false) hope, so that the star would return greater power to Lamia (upon Yvaine's death).

      Lamia literally explains why she did it, she needed to give Yvaine false hope so he heart would be glowing and useful to her again, so she let them think they were free. Then she pulled the rug out from under them.
