This was a great evening. The movie never disappoints. Cary Elwes was more than wonderful. He was exceptional. His stories were so entertaining and he is a master storyteller. He seems like a very nice man. THE TECHNICAL ISSUES WITH THE FILM PRESENTATION WERE INCONCEIVABLE! Use this review as you wish.
Of course the movie was great. I wish there would’ve been just a little bit more of the Q&A session. It seemed like they could've asked a few more questions.
Not much to report on the film itself, clearly it is a classic that speaks for itself! A timeless, romantic comedy for all generations :) Carey Elwes' 60 min Q&A was also enjoyable, filled with behind the scenes stories and anecdotes. The only disappointing part was all the technical glitches. The film was projected on a screen via DVD, and started glitching at the Fire Swamp scenes. Once they got that rectified, toward the end of the film some other mechanical issue occurred turning the scenes "blue".... Eventually that was corrected as well, but both episodes interrupted the flow and was disappointing.
It was so fun to watch the movie in the theatre. Then to get to see one of the actors and hear stories from the movie was amazing. I hope to see more events like this in future
Wonderful experience overall. Technocal difficulties with viewing the movie itself were slightly frustrating and derailing of the experience but overall wonderful. Would have liked a little break to stand up, as it was a long time sitting. Cary is amazing and loved hearing him speak about his experiences. I do wish there was a little more time for questions too, of course! Also wish we could have purchaced the book prior to the show.
First we sat and watched the entire movie. I thought Cary would have come out before it started, or maybe halfway thru to say hello and maybe say a few words. But he didn't. After the movie he came out for over an hour. He was absolutely delightful. He had us all laughing and having a blast. What an amazing, intelligent man.
We had such a great time. It was amazing to see The Princess Bride on the big screen. And cary Elwes was so wonderful. I am so happy we went.
Had a great time watching The Princess Bride with others who love the movie as I do. Cary was a good speaker, very interesting and very funny. Only disappointed that we are not allowed even 1 photo.
We had seats near the front of the theater, but far left of center stage (Rialto in Joliet, IL). The placement of the speakers made it impossible for us to understand any of the movie dialogue and very little of the interview that followed. We are big fans of the movie and have seen it many times, so we knew the story, but understanding the words would have made it a much more enjoyable evening.
