Summary: Freak and the Mighty
Review: Freak and the Mighty is about a kid named Kevin (Culkin) who has no friends and a boy named Max (Ratliff), "That's what we call a couple of freaks". The type of movie is Drama. Max has trouble reading so Kevin helps him by saying "Every word is part of a picture. Every sentence is a picture just use your imagination to connect the pictures". This movie relates to another movie called "The Gonies" these kids escape from these killers and in the movie "The Mighty" two kids escape from the Doghouseboys. I would rate this movie a 4 star movie becouse this movie is a good movie and you can learn a lot from it.

Summary: Freak The Mighty
Review: The movie "The Mighty" is about two young kids. Kevin Dillon (Kieran Culkin)is very ill he can't walk on his own and he gets seizures a lot. Maxwell Cane (Elden Ratliff). Max become friends with Kevin. He carries Kevin on his shoulders a lot. Max's grandma, is a nice character who takes good care of Max. She is married to Grim.Kevin's mom who is Gwen Dillon, is very nice. She takes care of Kevin and doesn't miss her husband. He's in jail this actor's name is Sharon Stone. Max's dad, (James Gandolfini) Kenny Kane, has been in jail for a while. Loretta Lee is a nice woman she helps out Kevin and Max in the end. This actors name is Gillian Anderson. I liked the movie. I'd give it five golden stars. Double that amount. I just think it was a really good movie. That's all I can tell you so if you haven't seen it go see it now.

Summary: Absolute Perfection!
Review: This movie made me laugh, cry (a whole lot, get tissues ready) I loved the joining of one of my favorite folklores and the present day with the young actors. Great soundtrack too by Trevor Jones. Beautiful film and it's a great movie for older kids to understand that reading any story and using your imagination is a wonderful thing.

Summary: Parts of the movie were as dead as the Knights of Camelot
Review: The romantic side of me will admit that the movie The Mighty had a good plot and Kieran Culkin charmed me as the role of Kevin. And I will admit that though I have not read the book, the book is probably better. But the cynic in me has to admit that the characters were poorly developed, leaving me feeling unsatisfied. What is it with the all the knights that appear throughout the whole movie? The knights left me with the feeling that Kevin was tottering on the edge of insanity, which he probably was. And Max, with all his kindness, was gullable to the point of stupidity. The Boston Golbe said that "Sharon Stone Gives An Oscar-Worthy Performance!" What's up with that? Stone was in about four scenes, and was to me, a minor role. Over all the movie was okay, but doesn't diserve the praise that everyone has been giving it.

Summary: The Mighty Thumb Down Strikes At Last
Review: As author of the novel upon which this movie was based, I've been amazed and pleased by the viewer responses posted at amazon.com. Even more pleasing is the fact that so many of the reviewers admit to having read the book. But for the last six months I've been waiting for the other shoe to drop: no moive, or book for that matter, appeals to everyone. Surely there was some poor, shriveled soul out there who hated 'The Mighty'? Finally 'David from Seattle' described at length how much he despised the movie. Thanks, David, for ending the suspense. Sorry you didn't like it - you probably would have hated the two real kids who inspired the story, too!

Summary: Gloppy, unimaginative, bathetic sludge
Review: I like my heart "warmed" as much as the next guy, but what is inspiring about this collection of sub-After-School-Special cliches? The villains are generic, completely unbelievable caricatures, and the heroes (the usual underdogs with hearts of gold) are so Good that they aren't human either. With no flesh and blood human beings in the movie, why should I care what happens? It doesn't matter anyway, because I know what's going to happen from the minute the characters are introduced. Sharon Stone (shamelessly billed as the "lead") does not "steal" any scenes -- she has about 10 lines in the whole movie, and she overemotes every one of those. As if the whole schmaltzy stew were not cloying enough, there is a running theme about King Arthur, complete with hallucinations of knights on horseback. Maybe this kind of fatuous moralizing is good for 6 year olds, but if you're older than that, and have a brain cell, this movie will either make you laugh out loud or turn your stomach. Even kids deserve better.

Summary: A movie for those who know how to dream
Review: A very moving film, which make us enter in a world of dreams,through the sight of two young boys rejected by the others.As we could believe it, it isn't a innocent film at all,because the different symbols in it can be decripted only by those who know how to dream.Gillian Anderson, one of the best actress in the world, has a very funny part( a role very far from Dana Scully)and I loved her in it.Sting's song, FREAK THE MIGHTY, really worth it too.I'll never forget this movie, that's for sure...

Summary: READ THIS BOOK!
Review: When I first saw this movie it was at 1am on Starz. I have to tell you, it was pretty amazing. I have not read the book yet, but about 30 mins before I wrote this review I ordered the book and the movie, and I cant wait till it comes. Im 16, I have a 3.9 GPA in High School. I dont have any learning defects or anything of that sort, and I STILL loved this book...I say this because I see a lot of reviews from teachers or something in that realm who teach 10,11,12 year old children...Im 16, great GPA, and I still loved it. So even if you think this book is above you, its not. Everyone should read it, ESPICALLY young children. I reccomend buying this movie very much, and if the book goes well, which I think it will, Ill recommend that, too!
