"As you wish." The Princess Bride is an amazing movie. Based on the novel by William Goldman published in 1973, the movie made its theatrical debut on September 1987.

I watched the movie for the first time a few weeks ago. I don't get the hype. Maybe 30 years ago it was considered good.

I had the same reaction actually. I mean I kind of liked the movie, but nothing I'd want to watch again.
