Review of The Mighty

The Mighty (1998)
5/10
Pretty good film
6 April 2000
"The Mighty" is a pretty good film about two young boys who do not fit in. One of them has a weak body, while the other has a weak mind. However, they believe in fairy tales and fill their days with quests. Now, this is the type of film that could easily end up a sugary fairy tale, luckily "The Mighty" stays clear of that, most of the time at least. It gets too sentimental sometimes, but then it gets more serious. I guess the weakness of the film is that it never decides what it wants to be. Sentimental drama or serious drama. It's kind of confusing, but I would say that overall it is a rather nice film and the two leads (Kieran Culkin and Elden Ratliff) are magnificent. (5/10)
