Micitype Pretty Good

SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

He is accompanied by a great support cast as Robbie Coltrane , James Gammon , Jason Robards , Anna Heche , Ron Perlman , Dana Ivey , Renne O'Connor and many others . Although some material , including gothic elements , a lynch mob , a brutal father , a violent pursuit and grisly death of a little boy may be too strong for inmature kiddies .The movie packs a sensitive and thrilling musical score by Bill Conti. And a colorful though some dark cinematography by Janusz Kaminski, Steven Spielberg usual cameraman. The motion picture was efficiently but unexceptionally directed by Stephen Sommers .

Terry Boone This film, "The Adventures of Huck Finn," comes from the novel with the same name. It stars Elijah Wood as Huck, and Courtney B. Vance as Jim. Whether it's on a raft or in town running from trouble, there is always adventure happening in this movie.Huck was a boy in the 40's who ran away. He meets Jim (a runaway slave) and goes down the Mississippi River with him. Along the way, they run into the King & Duke. They change the direction of the story, but leads Huck to realize right from wrong. He's faced with a moral dilemma between what is seen as right and what is truly right.Elijah Wood was a great role for Huck. Or rather, vice versa. He was very good at mimicking us Missourian's, for that is just how everyone sounds here. Joking aside, he captured the character similar to what I would have imagined. He could have done his accent better, that the only criticism I have.The King and Duke weren't very believable characters. They both seemed overly dramatic in every scene they appeared in. Always getting clearly scared trying to hold a poker face. Words cannot explain the awful things I saw from them.That being said, it wasn't a horrible movie, I suppose. I would give the movie 3 out of 5 stars. It was good, not great.

kitt0200 Mark Twain wrote the book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Disney remade it into a movie in 1993. The adventurous, action packed movie, The adventures of Huck Finn takes place in the fictional town of Saint Petersburg, Mississippi. The main characters were Huck played by Elijah Wood, Jim played by Courtney B. Vance, The duke played by Robbie Coltrana, The king played by Jason Robards, Pap Finn played by Ron Perlman, Widow Douglas played by Dana Ivey, Mary Jane Wilks played by Anne Heche, and Deputy Hines played by James Gammon. I think the cast of the movie was bad at acting because, for the most part, they didn't really own their roles. In the movie, Huck was talking to a black man named Jim who could see the future, and the man told Huck that Pap was coming back to town and told him he needed to run away that night. Instead, Huck decided to sneak out with his friends one last time and when he got back Pap was in his room and grabbed him and ran off taking him back to his place. Pap got drunk and tried killing Huck and when he woke up the next morning Pap left to go into town and Huck climbed through the fire place and went and killed a goat and dragged it through Pap's place and to fake his own death. Then Huck ran off to Jackson County because no one lives there and he runs into Jim. They start to swim in a pond and Jim tells Huck he's running off because he found out Widow Douglas was going to sell him to someone in New Orleans, so he was going to run down the Mississippi river to become a free man and earn money to buy his family back. On their way down the river Huck and Jim run into a lot of adventures. These two men hopped on Huck's and Jim's raft and at their next stop the two men found out that Jim was a runaway slave and they blacked mail them by saying they would tell the cops on them or kill them, unless they did as they said. You need to watch the movie for yourself to find out the rest. In the movie I thought the directing wasn't very good. The directing just kept going from one thing to the next. For example after Huck and Jim started down the river Huck changed his mind and wanted to tell on Jim and they run into police then he changes his mind and doesn't want to tell on him so he makes up a huge story about his mom and sister having pox. Then that night a steam boat crashes into Huck's and Jim's raft and then some men grabbed Huck and took him back to their house where the mother and son said he could stay as long as he wanted. In this movie I think the director should have added a few more scenes that showed the building of the friendship between Huck and Jim because I never got to really actually see that between them in the movie. Mark Twain started the realism era in literature. Realism is the use of everyday life and putting it into prose. He showed slavery and how some slaves would run away to free land. Jim ran away from Widow Douglas because he overheard that she was selling him to someone in New Orleans so he left and started down the Mississippi river to free land. Mark Twain also showed stereotypes and how everyone believed slavery was a good thing. Since Disney likes everything to have a happy ending the only real part in the movie that made us feel bad about slavery was when Jim got whipped and they showed the slashes on his back. If you want to know what Huck learned about Slavery at the end of the movie you will need to go watch it for yourself. I would give this movie one star, I think it's a boring movie and doesn't have good directing. It's just about a boy who runs into the wrong people and what he goes through once he meets them. It also just goes from one thing to the next and doesn't really have a calming point or show the friendship of Huck and Jim. The only way that I would rent the movie is if I read the book and wanted to see it to understand it better, otherwise I would advise you not to go see it.

Maddie Gilchrist Huck Finn was originally wrote by Mark Twain, but then remade into a movie by Disney in 1993. The main characters in the film are Huck (Elijah Wood), Jim (Courtney B. Vance), The Duke (Robbie Coltrane), The King (Jason Robards), Pap Finn (Ron Perlman), Widow Douglas (Dana Iwey), Mary Jane Wilks (Anne Heche), Deputy Hines (James Gammon), Harvey Wilks (Paxton Whitehead), and Dr. Robinson (Tom Aldredge). The setting of this movie was in St. Petersburg, a fictional town. This movie is an adventurous/action movie.Huck Finn lived with Widow Douglas in the beginning of the movie. Widow Douglas brought Huck in to give him a place to live, things to eat, and a family that cares. But after some time of living with her, Huck decided to run away to escape society and go off into the wild. At the same time, Jim, a slave on the plantation owned by Widow Douglas, ran away too. Jim and Huck met in the woods and decided to venture on together even though Jim had real things he was trying to achieve by leaving, and Huck was only coming along for the adventure. At the end of the movie, Jim had achieved his goals of becoming a free man and buying his family into freedom. But, Huck hadn't achieved anything and was in the same position he was when the movie began. So, Huck then decided to go on another adventure by himself.In this film, stereotypes were used against Americans. One was how they portrayed themselves. As Jim and Huck reached one plantation they stayed at for a little while, Watts shot one man working and then turned to Jim and told him, "Welcome to America." This showed that Americans were very ignorant and rugged, and also that they didn't think much of what they did to others. Another stereotype was the segregation that occurred between the two races. Blacks were used as slaves, and whites had all the advantages they wanted.This movie was set to be back in the mid 1800's, but was actually filmed in 1993. This could make the filming process more difficult because of the many set, appearance, and acting characteristics that would have to appear like they were set in the right time period. The actors themselves would have to understand how to act like they lived in the 1800's, and also look like they did as well. Sets would need to be older looking, instead of more modern. If these things were not done right, the movie would be not as believable.I would give Huck Finn a three star rating. I recommend this movie for people who like old, classic movies. This movie was easy to relate to and understand, so watching Huck Finn would be very easy to understand to any teenager.
