Movie Reviews of Puss in Boots
Movie Review: Save Your Money
Summary: 1 Stars
If you enjoy musicals with poor acting then this is your movie. Now I have to admit that I didn't watch the trailer and if I had I wouldn't have rented this movie. By the description I was expecting an annimated film. If you are a Christopher Walken fan you might be interested in seeing one of his early works with him as a redhead singing and dancing both of which I am glad he gave up.Movie Review: Great Family Entertainment
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this for my 5 year old grandson. We had recently seen it on Cable TV and really enjoyed it. The Ogre is a little bit scary, but I remind my grandson that he is just like Shrek. He really likes it when puss tricks the ogre into becoming a mouse. The rest is history. It's great to see some good old fashioned fables! Our family are really big star wars fans. So the triumph of good over evil is always a great story to us. Christopher Walken is great in this...he portrays puss perfectly. Great movie!Movie Review: Woo hoo! It's about time!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is perhaps Christopher Walken's favorite movie and if you had the Disney Channel in the late 80s to early 90s it might have been your first. All of the Cannon fairy tales are worth owning and this is a particular delight to Walken fans, and yes, it is kid friendly.
Christopher Walken sings, dances, and embodies cattitude in a simple yet enchanting telling of the story of a clever cat who provides for his young master's fortune. The songs are memorable without being annoying, the comedy funny enough, and ofcourse it's all about the star. Filmed in 1988 Mr Walken was still in his physical prime and full of the dance skills he would latter bring to the Weapon of Choice video.
If you were determined or lucky you had a VHS of this, an official DVD has been long awaited. This is an absolute must for anyone with Walkenitis.
Movie Review: Puss in Boots
Summary: 3 Stars
The story was only average and somewhat uninteresting. I think it lacked the dramatic contrast necessary in any story and action. However, the music's instrumentation would be quite useful for teaching and testing the students' knowledge of orchestral sounds.Movie Review: Christopher Walken's Greatest Performance!
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, my favorite anyway. The legendary performer brings a classic French fairy tale to life in the Cannon Movie Tale, "Puss In Boots." The sole inheritance of a poor miller's son, Puss (Walken) leads the young man from sudden homelessness to the lap of luxury by using his cat-skill and wit and a pair of boots that make him appear human to all those around him. Together, Puss and his master deceive the king and confront a man-eating ogre in an effort to win the heart of a princess and the title of Marquis of Carabass!
"Puss In Boots" sits among the best of the nine wonderful Cannon Movie Tales, which are among the best live-action fairy tale films available to date. Sticking more closely to the original stories than the usual fare, "Puss In Boots" and the other Cannon tales mix in simple but fun-filled songs with fantastic casts and writing that blends realism and fantasy seamlessly. "Puss In Boots" may be less fairy and more tale than the others, but the clever story and magical and magnificent performance of Christopher Walken as the singing and dancing cat make it a must see! It's so terrific that these childhood favorites many of us remember from the Disney Channel's 1980's and early 90's glory are finally available on DVD (most of them at least). The DVDs include trailers (not sure if these films ran anywhere theatrically), and most (including Puss) are presented in fullscreen format. The Cannon Movie Tales are mostly family fun, though be warned that some can have their scary moments (for example, "Red Riding Hood," my favorite, is done as a werewolf story that at times may be a bit frightening). The other Cannon Movie Tales, all of which I highly recommend, are: Rumpelstiltskin, The Emperor's New Clothes, Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Hansel and Gretel, Beauty and the Beast, The Frog Prince, and Sleeping Beauty. Those last two have not yet been released to DVD, and I have yet to see Rumpelstiltskin at any retail stores, though Amazon seems to carry it. I wish to get them all, but currently only own my favorites: Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Puss In Boots, and Hansel and Gretel. Fairy tale fanatics should own all these films, and I also highly recommend my top favorites, the Disney animated versions. Also, for a scarier version of Snow White, pick up the outstanding, "Snow White: A Tale of Terror," starring the beautiful Monica Keena. More recommendations: Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre collection (also best known from the Disney Channel airings), Shrek and Shrek 2, The Slipper and the Rose (for a live-action Cinderella), Ever After (another live-action Cinderella), The Adventures of Pinocchio (1996), Peter Pan (2003), The Wizard of Oz, Return to Oz, and Rodger's and Hammerstein's Cinderella (1965) among others!
