GamerTab That was an excellent one.

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Python Hyena The Mighty (1998): Dir: Peter Chelsom / Cast: Kieran Culkin, Elden Hensen, Sharon Stone, Harry Dean Stanton, Gena Rowlands: Filled with enchanting images and a theme regarding the strength of two whom are limited without each other. Elden Henson failed seventh grade twice making him the target of mockery. Kieran Culkin is new to the neighborhood and lives with his mother. He is also a hunchback who uses braces to walk. They are fascinated about the story of King Arthur and several sequences feature knights and horses in relation to the two friends who imagine themselves in such a way when Culkin mounts Hensen's shoulders as one strength. Director Peter Chelsom goes inside the imaginations of these boys. Culkin and Hensen make a remarkable pairing but the ending is depressing. The images of their adventures are enchanting and add both fun and tension. Sharon Stone plays Culkin's mother in a somewhat standard role but believable nonetheless. Harry Dean Stanton and Gena Rowlands are also featured as relatives who knows of Hensen's father's past and seek to prevent it from ever crossing them again. Viewers may be divided since the imagination material is aimed at children while the suspense is aimed at adults but it might make for a discussion if viewed together. Theme of friendship gives the film meaning and a sense of might. Score: 8 / 10

wes-connors In this instance, the mightiest actors are billed below the supporting "stars": Elden Henson (as Maxwell "Max" Kane) plays a learning disabled young man, who has twice failed the seventh grade; and, Kieran Culkin (as Kevin "Freak" Dillon) plays a chronically crippled boy genius. Mr. Culkin is assigned the unenviable job of tutoring Mr. Henson in reading. A child of unending imagination and unnerving confidence, Culkin begins by teaching Henson about "King Arthur and His Knights". It turns out to be the perfect choice.You should figure out, very quickly, where this film is headed. A couple of the supporting performances are overdone, the spaghetti looks fake, and the border between fantasy and reality seems broken by an almost impossible to believe event.STILL, the film scores highest where it counts: most importantly, Henson and Culkin are outstanding; their relationship, and performances, ring jarringly true. They slay dragons, save maidens, and walk high above the world. Director Peter Chelsom guides the two young actors well, and John de Borman photographs the locations beautifully. Significant supporting players include Sharon Stone, Gena Rowlands, and Harry Dean Stanton. For the record, children like those characterized in Rodman Philbrick's novel "Freak the Mighty" do exist. An excellent film for everyone who is a child.******** The Mighty (1998) Peter Chelsom ~ Elden Henson, Kieran Culkin, Sharon Stone

spencer_smith410 I love this film. It is so great. I think it's much different than most other movies, especially like how it breaks the movie into multiple different titled chapters. I have read the book and it is just brilliant. It's so sad how Freak died at the end and Max was running barefoot into the research center and then just got down and started crying after he found out it was a laundry place. It is a brilliant movie. I did not cry, but there were probably a lot of people who did. I love this movie. I don't know what my favorite part was. I liked the fireworks part when Max picked up Freak and put him on top of his shoulders because Freak had trouble seeing the fireworks. I also liked when Blade and his gang attacked Freak and Max took the manhole cover and used it as a shield. I especially loved when Freak was playing with his chop suey. You really have to see this movie because it is brilliant, great, touching, and you would just love it.

phanatic87 Less importantly, I can't figure out why Sharon Stone is the number one credit when the story isn't really about her character. Other than that, this movie has good intentions and a great story. However, there were a few scenes that just felt overly tense, such as when--possible spoilers--Kevin begins choking on his food and loses consciousness, as well as the scene where Loretta is strangled (but not killed), which is otherwise understandable. This seemingly is supposed to be a family-friendly film, but with these scenes the filmmakers make it look more like a thriller. If the filmmakers had not done this, I believe this film could very easily have been given a PG rating. -6 stars for the tension.
