AI Summary

A grandfather reads a fairy tale to his sick grandson about Buttercup, a young woman kidnapped before her forced marriage to Prince Humperdinck. Her true love, Westley, presumed dead, returns as the mysterious Dread Pirate Roberts to rescue her. Along the way, he encounters swordsmen, giants, revenge seekers, and scheming nobles. The story blends romance, comedy, fantasy, and adventure while parodying classic fairy-tale traditions.

My feelings, thoughts, and opinions

I, of course, watched this movie for the first time shortly after Rob's passing. I watched in on VR glasses nonetheless. I really enjoyed the movie as it was funny and there was good continuity throughout.

Would watch again!
