One Star Review
I cant believe how many people like this movie for that
Elijah (or however you spell his name) kid. I personally
think he is butt ugly. No offense to his mom if she reads
this, but its true, your kid is ugly :)
PS: Ive never heard of this kid in my life.
Five Star Review
I know what ur thinking, you think i like this movie just
because Elijah Wood is in it! Well, ur right! I am a BIG
Elijah Wood fan!!!! But that is not only why i like this
movie! It has a lot good good scencs in this movie! I
wanted to cry sooo bad every time Elijah Wood got
hurt!But anyway this is one of the best movies i have ever
seen! The second best is Lord of the Rings! Anyway,I hope
to get this AWSOME movie on dvd!I hope you all love this
movie as much as I do!I recomend this movie to everyone!
Four Star Review
Once you accept that Elijah Wood is several years too
young for the role AND playing both Tom Sawyer and
Huck Finn simultaneously (Tom is left out of the movie,
but some of his character and the incident of his being shot
remains), he does a bang-up job with the part and is
surrounded by enough good character actors to bring off a
plausible Classics Illustrated version of the great American
novel. Certainly it moves at a fast pace, and does not shy
away from some ugly scenes showing Pap's murderously
abusive behavior, the tragic and pointless feud, and the
sheer nastiness of the King and Duke. The race issue is
glossed over much too easily - all Huck needs is a kind
little heart to get beyond the prejudices of his entire society,
and his new-found perspective seems to spread far too
easily to everyone in his life. But this is Disney, so perhaps
a full development of Twain's themes is hardly to be
expected. Enjoy it for the colorful characters and for
Wood's lively and charming performance as Huck.
