There will always be an audience for the mystery of the fairy-tale, the warning that the younger crowd will be unaware of that is being played out for them, the notice of the cautionary advice and fear that comes from being the parent to the child caught spellbound in myriad of colour, magic and spectacle, especially when it is delivered with the effect of outlandish beauty attached to it and the dream-like quality to which foretells of unrepentant merchandising galloping along beside it like a knight vanquishing the dragon or troll in pursuit of their own pile of gold.

Spin-offs of a successful franchise are almost, always, inevitable. The cash cow in the studio is automatically milked, the fans see a continuation of their favourite characters, and unsurprisingly the chain continues, the certainty of unavoidability is maintained.

One of the moments you know you have become an adult is when you can sit through what is being billed as a film for young adults, the teenage market and find that not only have enjoyed the absolute sense of fun that was intended, but that you can find the sense of the pearls of wisdom dispensed enlightening, rather than sneering at them through misguided eyes.

Revenge is a peculiar dish, one that as the saying goes you must be prepared to dig two graves for, or at least understand that you have to share the plate and all the trimmings that go with it if you want to receive the momentary glimpse of satisfaction that is on offer.
