Amizingly funny in a silly way

Just want to say to everyone: SEE THIS MOVIE!

It is funny & imaginative.

For people who love fantasy movies, this is a real good way to spend a saturday evening.

This is the russian "lord of the rings", in a more funny way.

It is based on a poem, so everyone speaks in poetry, but the subtitles are normal so for western people it is normal. First you think it is a nice child movie, with some singing... baby-explaining way. Later you see people get beheaded by barbarians etcetra, and some blood. So it really turns upside down!

GO SEE IT!
