I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

I've watched the movie several times and each time , it brought the same emotions. Not one of the movies, that you'll watch just once. I read the book many years ago, when I was 10 years old and the first time I watched, the movie brought out nice memories and emotions in me . I couldn't help but smile throughout the movie. Definitely one of the best adaptations of children's books. It made me want to go through the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn again. Movie doesn't follow all the chapters, some details are left out but it leaves up to the book's spirit. Elijah Wood's performance is noteworthy. He expresses Huck Finn's personality and characteristics perfectly. It is considered a children's book and a children's movie, but in fact, it's pleasant to watch for all the audiences, regardless the age. Like the book, you'll enjoy the movie at any age!

THE ADVENTURES OF HUCK FINN This movie was set in the 1800's in St. Pitturgburghs Mississippi. It is about a boy named Huckleberry Finn (played by Elijah Wood), who lives a very rebellious life. He had a slave friend named Jim (played by Courtney B. Vance), who escaped. Huck and Jim set on a journey to Kayrow to try and free Jim, so he can raise money to get his family out of slavery. In the beginning of the movie Pap Finn (played by Ron Perlman) was a drunkard who tried to kill Huck, but he ending up dying on a boat later in the story. Huck however, faked his death caused by Pap so no one would know his identity, while he was on the road. During Huck and Jims journey they meet Duke (played by Robbie Coltrane) and King, they were thief's that were on the run from stealing a lot, the Duke and King (played by Jason Rebarbs) capture both Huck and Jim and force them to with them to get Mary Jane Wilks (played by Anne Heche) fathers money as they pretended that they where the brothers of Peter Wilks, if they refused, they would in Jim as he was accused of being a murderer and a runaway slave. Later in the story, the village actually finds out that Duke and King are impostors, so Huck uses this chance to free Jim as he was arrested during this event. As Huck and Jim running away from the village, Huck gets shot. They capture Jim again but Mary Jane sets them free because she knows Huck and Jim are on the run for a good reason. In the end Miss Watson (played by Mary Louise Wilson) wish came true, Jim became a free man but Huck still continued his rebellious life, which Widow Douglas (played by Dana Luey) was not very happy about. One aspect of filmmaking that I want to talk about is the costume and set design. It corresponded well to when and where the movie was set. The poor dressed like the poor and the rich like the rich in those actual times. Costume and set design is very important in this movie because it shows the audience of the movie when and where the movie was set, also it gives the audience a feel of how life was back then. The stereotypes I would like to talk about are the actual use of realism in the movie. Every character in the movie has a last name apart from Jim, this is because he is a slave, another stereotype is that Jim is a tall, black strong man who is inferior to a small, short white kid, and this is a stereotype because adults are not inferior kids, but Jim is to Huck. Another stereotype is that Jim performs some magic tricks in the beginning of the movie, and this was surprising for others because they thought slaves could not be taught anything else but to work. I really enjoyed this movie, it had funny, sad, adventurous, heart pumping and thrilling moments, I recommend it to other classes because of the morals it teaches, I give this movie 7.5/10.

The Adventures of Huck Finn is an adventure movie based off the classic story "Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain. Elijah Wood played the adventurous young boy Huck Finn. Huck runs away with a slave, Jim, Courtney B. Vance, and their goal is to make it to freedom for Jim. This is a dangerous journey through Mississippi for a slave in the 1950s.Huck Finn is a young boy who lives with two old woman because his father, Pap, is not a nice man. Pap decides to take him out of his home one night and brings him to his own house. While at his dad's house, Huck has to be careful because Pap is scary when he is drunk. In order to escape from Pap's life, Huck fakes his own murder. He starts out on a journey but on the first day he comes across Jim in the woods. They decide to travel together but they have to be extra careful who they run into because Jim is blamed for Huck's murder. Eventually, they run into two thieves, Duke and King, who bring them along with them to pretend to be people they are not. Their lies finally catch up with them and they have to carefully find their way out of the situation. Watch the movie to find out what twists this movie takes at the end.This movie does an excellent job of staying in the 1950s time period. The way the slaves are treated and enslaved was really how they were treated. The two boys get stuck on a plantation and Jim is enslaved. Huck sees how Jim is treated and wants to leave. The dialects of the people tell that they are from the South. The way the people dress also keeps with the time period. The ladies wore big dresses and men wore suits and hats.I thought that this movie had excellent acting. Elijah Wood is a young actor and is really great for his age. The other actors are good at playing the roles that they got. They are very realistic and act with the time period.I found this movie really enjoyable and it even had some humor in it. I would defiantly recommend this movie for an age of person because it is classic literature but has a Disney spin on it. I give this movie 7 out of 10 stars.

During CA this year, my class watched The Adventures Of Huck Finn. The movie takes place in the 1800s. I think the movie was classified more as a drama than any other genre. Even though it had some comedy parts. The movie Huckleberry Finn is about a little boy that gets kidnapped by his abusive drunk of a father. Throughout the movie Huck tries to set his friend, that's a slave, free. At one point they come across this thief's stash of gold. They pretended that they were sent from London and were high class people. Soon people started realizing that they weren't who they said that they were. So the thief's went after Huck and his friend. I thought that the set and the costume design matched the story line really well. It wasn't like most movies where they don't have the same hairstyles and clothes as they did back in the 1800s. Also I thought that the background music matched the action scenes really well. In the movie the characters used realism by talking the same way that people did in that time. They also used realism by the way they dressed. In the background they showed realism by using real people and real places. My personal opinion on the movie was that it was terrible. The story was dry and it wasn't very interesting. I wouldn't suggest this movie to any high school student. I would rate this movie 2 out of 10.
