Like I said, I had no idea at all what to expect from this movie, and by the time the Star fell I was fucking in love with this movie.
And then when Tristan is finally going to the Witch's lair in the magic crater, and the last remaining evil prince shows up, so they team up to battle the undead witches! Septimus (after running into his long lost sister, Una!) uses his skill to beat one witch, while Tristan frees the abused animals to get their revenge on the second witch! And the head witch kills the evil prince, but he comes back to life as clay doll and puts on the most creative swordfight I have ever seen, as Tristan uses his new sword (and training he got from Captain Shakespear) to win the battle!
Then he has to take on the evil witches, but he still has his magic flower from his father that Yvaine saved from the wandering gypsy lady! He fights back with the enchanted lightning bolts that were gifted to him! And then he fucking cuts the rope, and in one of the coolest takes I have ever seen, he tackles the evil lead witch, and rescues the star! But as they are leaving, the evil witch starts acting all sad, and decides to let them go, and I was just like "aww!," but then she tries to kill them after all, and I was like "woohoo!" And then the Star explodes and blows the witch to hell and saves the day! True love is had and the cake is good!
But then it turns out that Tristan isn't some lowly commoner - he is the crown prince (and he has just unwittingly saved his own mother). He grabs the magic necklace and turns the magical ruby back to its original red removing the curse placed on it by the dying king before he threw it into the sky, so the deceased ghost spirits can finally rest in peace, free of their curse! And everybody shows up for the big wedding at the end! The sky lightning pirates, Captain Shakespear, Brevis, the people from the village, Humphrey, Victoria, his Dad and Mom reunited at last, etc! And it's said that they rule for 80 years and go into the sky to become stars forever. It doesn't get better than that!
It was fucking awesome! All of it was just pure awesome! Cheesey, sure, but cheesey awesome!!!
This movie had fucking EVERYTHING!*
*- To get an idea, here are some of the things I didnt mention: the soothsayer and his runestones, the enchanted chain, the carriage ride, the good prince and his brothers, the priest and the poison cups, the fucking UNICORN!, the spirits in the woods, the enchanted inn, the Babylon candle, the clouds, the magic airship, the enchanted market, and old man who fights like a ninja to guard a wall, Ricky Gervais as a fast talking salesman, Sienna Miller, I could go on and on.
EVERYTHING!
