[Movie Review] Anastasia (1997)

I got the chance to see Anastasia, a 1997 film by Warner Bros. I think.

With my mind wandering around a bit at the start of the movie watching, the first thing that came to mind (as it has come to mind when I first heard about this movie) is that "oh it's another Disney movie."

Watching the film closely, I came to realize it's not a Disney movie. And suddenly, my appreciation for Disney movies grew exponentially.

Anastasia is not a great movie. Not by my Disney-movie standards.

Story-wise, it's fine. But I guess it doesn't also meet Disney movie standards, that's why it's not a Disney movie. How it was crafted - there are some good points for a movie created back in 1997. But overall, no thanks.

I rate it a 2/4: watch it only if you have free time, out of curiosity maybe.

By the way, I'm slightly revising my ratings system as follows:

1 - DON'T BOTHER TO WATCH, IT'S A WASTE OF YOUR TIME.
2 - Watch it only at home on DVD or if you have absolutely nothing else to do.
3 - DON'T PAY TO WATCH THIS MOVIE if you're not a movie lover, or well, it's a MUST-WATCH FOR MOVIE LOVERS.
4 - MUST WATCH FOR EVERYONE! GO WATCH IT NOW! :-)
