Man and Witch: The Dance of a Thousand Steps

It must be nice to have such good friends and crew members who all think this movie is a 10 and not one score under 10 given.

How did this movie get made?

Someone actually financed this garbage?

Good luck getting your money back.

The acting was beyond bad.

ChatGPT could have written a better script.

The directing, lets just not comment on that, I have nothing nice to say about that.

Hollywood is dead. Its that simple.

No more good ideas and even less talented writers / directors who can produce a descent movie these days.

For all those who gave it a resounding 10 out of 10, get your head examined. This movie was a train wreck and if you think this is worthy of a 10, clearly this is the only movie you ever watched in your life and never witnessed a well crafted, well written, well acted and directed movie.

Guys stop giving 10's.

Truly utterly a diamond in the rough a black Perl yet to be discovered a little piece of magic for everyone that is available and receptive to just enjoying a magical enjoyably fun movie experience filled with laughter irony fun love task and old school storytelling made in a marvel way to entertain and they so entertain so well wit a great narrator that makes the story perfect in so many ways it is as I said truly a b movie of the princess bride it's a love version of the never ending story that keeps it head held up high and will become a cult classic for the few of us that listen watch and understand it's truly marvellous.

Me, I got it. It's a self depreciating pantomime with a good budget.

I understand why there is a massive gap between the user reviews and scores. It's because you have to get what's going on and find that amusing, otherwise this is just a stinky pile of garbage.

The jokes were silly and funny and very British.

There was background visual gags that just added to the silliness.

Not only did I enjoy this Mickey take of a film, but I Loved it.

The cast including Mrs Doyle from Father Ted acted exactly as they should have done. Which is just go with the flow and don't take yourself or the role seriously.

Long and short is, if you watch the first five minutes and love it, you'll love it. Otherwise abort as you'll not get into it.

As a child of the 80s, I was intrigued by a film that promised to pay homage to the fantasy films of that decade...but also a bit skeptical about its ability to do so. That skepticism gave way to pure delight as the film delivered on that promise and then kept delivering.

The story's creative twists are charmingly and skillfully unfolded to us, and the film keeps a humorous and whimsical tone while delivering moments of actual scariness and suspense. The acting is uniformly terrific, from the two leads down to the tiny child playing Cupid. Jim Henson's puppets serve as a Greek Chorus of sorts in a way that engaged the children and amused the adults in the audience. And the broadening of the POV from just the goatherd to include the witch enhances the tension of the build to the film's very satisfying denouement.

The film carefully threads the needle between being a throwback to the 80s and commenting on the world of today. It's a joy to see something that unmitigatedly "feel-good," and it says a lot about this film that it has stuck with me in the weeks since I've seen it. I'd love to get to see it again and to share it with others of all ages.

My daughter (9) was sometimes with tears in her eyes from laughing. Great children movie. That said my wife and I also loved it. The people that gave the liw ratings obviously miss the humor.

Just like others mentioned it reminded me of The Princess Bride. This one is full of little jokes and uou have to watch it several times to get them all. Word jokes and funny things in the scene.

The story is simple snd nice and it has a typical feel good ending that you see coming aftr just watching the first 10 minutes of the movie. But that doesn't take away the joy of watching this gem.

A mist see for everyone that likes British humor.
