It is a sweet, funny, rom-com, that comes off as smart and slightly old-fashioned in the way it approaches subjects like love and death with a light hand.

It is a better package, maybe because having an actual conclusion gives it a purpose, as well as stronger narrative momentum.

It is too strange to imagine it becoming a commercial success and not insightful enough to become an art house hit. Those looking for a strictly traditional romance will likely be confused. However, it is worth the trip for those seeking a slight spin on the familiar.

The movie is well-made, yet unimaginative. It is a basic family-friendly spectacular in time for the holidays.

The charm of the performers, as well as some amusingly straightforward writing, carries this past its clichés for a while.

It is a compelling story, very well-directed, with excellent performances and a clever, almost fairytale-like, design.

Instead of being the lazy fan-service I feared, it is a legitimately entertaining family-friendly adventure.

It is touching, thought-provoking and, if this does prove to be the final cinematic treat we receive from this legend, a worthy goodbye.

Uncomplicated, simple, enjoyable, engaging, heartwarming and just plain likable, with moments of true beauty.

The strategy this time is to mix the D&D mythology with the durable Marvel formula to produce something very familiar.
