    Rated - 3 stars [Highly rated reviewer]

    It's a secret

    This begun as a very promising film, with the right mix of damsel, fairytale and swashbuckling. However, my only criticism, is that it seemed a little disjointed in places. This is an adaptation of a book, so that might account for it. Unfortunately, that caused it not to sail in the way, such book adaptions as 'Narnia' and 'Harry Potter' have. Which is such a shame as it started out so strong.

    A recommendation for the average 7 year old whose not into gadgetry, but likes imaginative tales.
