This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

ROAR was a rarity in TV viewing. Hands down. Not only did you have a period piece, but it was a period piece with a soul that beat through out it. In reading one review I saw mentioned about lack of character development. Well, they didn't have much chance for it after being shut down after only 8 episodes being aired (in the USA). Yes some episodes were campy and others were down right tear wrenching. But there was no doubt from the beginning this show marched to the beat of a different drum from other shows like Xena and Hercules which invaded the scene at the same time. Perhaps it was the lack of marketing promise since the whole pulse of the show was spiritual rather than "fun" and action hero figure inducing. Or it could have been the 1 million an episode that FOX couldn't take on. Perhaps it was a little of both. The one thing I do know it wasn't the audience rating which remained pretty high for a summer first run. Today, it has a cult following all over the globe, repeats are aired on the SciFi channel all the time. It was just now released on DVD (though disappointed they left out all of Loreena McKennitt's songs and they don't have the episodes in their right order *grrrrr!* but still just as magical). If you love Celtic myths and legends, a show which is spiritual (including Druidic and Christian beliefs that merge), you love action and adventure and you want to view a show that makes you FEEL something... makes you laugh and cry (sometimes at the same time) get the DVD. You WILL NOT be disappointed.

This show, though extremely short in existence, may very well be one of my favourite TV series ever. Although the series didn't end (the last episodes were made, but never released in North America), it had an allure and a flow that made it irresistible. With such wonderful reception to other historical drama genre pieces like Braveheart and Gladiator, it surprises me to no end that this didn't last past the summer. Heath Ledger, before his North American break, plays a young Irish prince who must unite all the tribes of the island in order to force the invasive Romans out of their world.

Wow! I never knew anybody else ever saw this! When it was on, my mom started taping them in the middle of the season because I love Heath. After the series was yanked, she decided to tape over it! I was so mad! Recently, my sister located some copies of the series and bought them for me! It RULES! Heath is such a cutie, especially with that accent of his! Anywho- even if you don't like Heath, it is a great series. I wish the network would show reruns of it or something!

The only way I was able to see this series. (Well, 8 episodes, anyway, I'm still looking for someone who's selling a tape with all 13 on it) As was, I sat in my room all day and watched the series all the way through.. *WOW*. I haven't loved a show this much since Quantum Leap. And of course, both aren't being made anymore. :-P The plot line was original and highly entertaining, I loved the dialogue, and the people who acted in this show brought the characters to life superbly. I *really* wish more episodes had been made.
