Rated PG 98m "Strongly recommended to chase those
blues away. Rent it the next time there's nothing on television but
American Gladiators. And afterwards somebody who has watched the movie
with you will no doubt imitate the Patinkin character's dialogue that
goes: "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Now, prepare
to die!" As far as I remember this is a prerequisite . . ."--SciFi

"Inigo Montoya -- Mandy Patinkin
in fine comic fettle as a Spanish fencer hellbent on avenging his
father's death. His mission entails finding a villain with six fingers
on one hand. " --washingtonpost.com
"Mandy Patinkin is absorbed by
his role of Spanish swordsman Inigo Montoya, complete with a crazy-quilt
Castilian accent. Montoya, one of the kidnapers, is a free-lance swordsman
hired by medieval mafioso Vizzini, played with relish by Wallace Shawn
of "My Dinner With Andre."" --washingtonpost.com

" Also great fun is Mandy Patinkin
as the vengeful Spanish swordsman Iniego Mantoya (as in "My name is
Iniego Mantoya, you killed my father, prepare to dieeeeee") and Billy
Crystal in a heavily made-up cameo as a wizened old apothecary. A
highly recommended film, with lavish visuals complemented beautifully
by the big screen, a definite classic. " --Edinburgh

"Elwes *is* Wesley. I didn't recognize Mandy Patinkin as the murdered swordmaker's son, Inigo Montoya, until part way through the movie. He just about stole every scene he was in. In fact, my favorite scene in the movie is the duel between these two on the brink of the Cliffs of Insanity." --Review by C. Quinn "Of the cast, Cary Elwes and Mandy Patinkin are stand-outs. Patinkin plays a spanish swordsman out for revenge on the man (Christopher Guest, in a surprisingly good performance as a villain) who killed his father. Their final confrontation scene is the best thing in the film." --jaxfilmjournal.com " Some of the best scenes in the film are between Wesley, as a masked man, and Buttercup's inept, yet lovable, kidnappers. Reiner allows actors Wallace Shawn, Mandy Patinkin and Andre the Giant, to truly embody the characters, stretch their comic muscles and turn in unforgettable performances." --crazy4cinema "Also watch for the scene-stealing Mandy Patinkin, who utters one of the most quotable lines in recent film history. If you haven't memorized the script by heart, as many have, see it again. " --At-A-Glance Film Reviews "Characters make fun of themselves, no one takes things too seriously and everything seems to be there just for the camp value. It all works! The cast, from newcomers such as Elwes and Wright, to seasoned veterans like Falk, Sarandon and Patinkin all take on their characters with gusto. They are having a blast and it shows on the screen. " --DVDpost Review "Elwes and Wright are both excellent in the lead roles, but it's the supporting cast who add extra sparkle to this gem. Of particular note is Mandy Patinkin, best known as a Chicago Hope doctor and a host of stage and screen musical roles, as the revenge-seeking, hard-drinking Spaniard, Inigo Montoya. Patinkin manages to pull off both the most comical and most somber moments in the film. " --rambles.net " Mandy Patinkin mines the swashbuckling Inigo as much as possible, and brings a definite joy to the performance. " --feedmyego.com "As the "sensitive" Spaniard Inigo Montoya, Mandy Patinkin also creates one of the most endearing and memorable roles of his career. Hilarious, affable and emotional, Patinkin's performance of pathos manages to evoke both laughter -- and tears. His singular, righteous mission in life (to avenge his father's murder) is both both melancholy and heartwarming. Patinkin really has us rooting for his character to succeed in his noble quest." --thebigpicturedvd.com ![[THUMBS UP]](../IMAGES/th_up.gif){kind=small} ![[IMAGE]](../IMAGES/links4.gif) ![[THUMBS DOWN]](../IMAGES/th_dn.gif){kind=small}

(out of 4) "A modern update of the basic fairy tale crammed with
all the cliches, this adventurously irreverent love story centers
around a beautiful maiden and her young swain as they battle the evils
of Florin to be reunited with one another. Great dueling scenes and
offbeat satire of the genre make this fun for adults as well as children."--VideoHound's
