I went to see this film on Wednesday and although I really do love the book, I thought the film was great.

Normally when I watch a film adapted from a loved book more than a few things irritate me but with this (mainly because I think Gaiman made it quite clear it would steer from the book quite a bit) was thoroughly enjoyable and I didn't mind the changes quite as much as I normally do.

I thought Pfeiffer stole the show as the witch and contrary to most, I thought Claire Danes made a great Yvaine, she executed the sarcasm brilliantly, my only problem was that she was maybe a little too fragile...

Obviously Shakespear is very different but I did think de Niro was very good and very funny, his crew also made me laugh rather a lot!

I also quite liked Charlie Cox as Tristan, it's pretty much how I imagined Tristan in the book, he had that dreamy/in another world way about him that I always imagined Tristan to have.

I really loved this film but as always in these situations, the book will always win hands down for me.
