  Puss: This boots will change our lives. Master. Well I do remember slightly seeing it as a kid but get that into context because why do I remember it slightly and not as good and warmly as other movies that I saw in my childhood and even older than this one maybe because it wasn't that good. But we have to take into the equation that it was made in the late eighties 1988 to be exact and the effects are true to that date so I can't really be disrespectful about it. It's Christopher "Freaking" Walken, doing a movie based on a fairy tale, and he sings and dances. His acting style fits the role very well as the devious, mischievous Puss who seems to get his master into deeper and deeper trouble but in fact has a plan he's thought about seven or eight moves in advance. And if you've ever seen Walken in any of his villainous roles, you *know* the ogre bit the dust HARD at the end when Walken got him into his trap. The story stays almost totally true to the book. I'm really not a lover of musicals but the only part where I was interested in the music it was when Christopher Walken was singing the rest it was lip syncing and bad at it too the song weren't that great either but a little more effort would have made it enjoyable at least. Christopher Walken is very catlike, and doesn't need stupid make-up, or a cat costume for the viewer to believe he's a cat transformed to a human. One of Walken's few musical roles to date. (He is a marvelous dancer and singer and he demonstrates his acrobatic skills as well - watch for the cartwheel!). Starring Jason Connery that is also Sean Connery's son mostly last name and not much acting it was an ok performance. If you fast forward through the horrible singing, you will find a classic fairy tale underneath. It is graced with a lively performance from Christopher Walken (who still thinks highly of it) as Puss. Christopher Walken is very humorous and surprisingly good in the role. His trademark style of acting works well for the sly Puss in Boots. Physically, the film looks fine, and the photography is good. The songs, however, go in one ear and out the other, and merely stretch the running time more than necessary. A cat belonging to a poor miller's son thinks up a great plan for bringing a title, wealth, and marriage for his owner. He begins to carry it out, using a few birds and rabbits as gifts for the king, his own wit, and a pair of boots that make him appear human when he puts them on. However, his owner has no idea that the cat has told everyone that his master is a marquis rather than a miller's son until the king has arrived to meet him. Soon the king's daughter and the miller's son fall in love, and the king wants very much to see the land and the castle belonging to this rich "marquis."

  Walken is the only reason to watch this film. He is entertaining but the rest is just meh.
