A nonviolent, non-sequel, non-comic book hero and great stars and director. Good story concept. What could go wrong?
Lack of character development (Tilda S) and lack of chemistry (two main stars).
The visuals are wonderful, the storytelling is reminiscent of Arabian Nights stories, and there are little gems of insight-- little lessons. The movie builds and yet ultimately disappoints. This is not a spoiler but rather a comment on the missing "magic" to bring the audience to care or reflect once the film finishes. Tilda is two dimensional and seems so unchanged throughout the movie that it belies the basic premise of her first wish.
It was entertaining but definitely would not recommend to others unless they have very low expectations.
