IslandGuru Who payed the critics

Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

AgentSauvage "Pert from the front and a vision from behind" - This is such a wonderful televisual experience that I have to watch the whole mini-series once a year at least. It is a superb fairy tale loosely based on all your favourite child-hood tales from the Brothers Grimm, with an obligatory trip to the tenth kingdom (New York, of course). The ensemble cast are superb (except, maybe, for the disappointing performances from Ann-Margret and Snow White, which are based more on renown than upon suitability for the role!) Dianne Wiest once again proves that she deserves an award for every production in which she appears. She is ably supported by the wonderful Scott Cohen (where was his Emmy for this role?) and Kimberly Williams. John Larroquette is at his very best as the NY janitor who proves that whatever can goes wrong will go wrong. Rutger Hauer creates one of his best characters since he appeared in Bladerunner and the trolls are superb: "suck an elf" is such a well crafted catch-phrase and the general incompetence of the three children of the Troll King is amply demonstrated by the wonderful self-description "I am Bluebell the troll, terrified throughout the Nine Kingdoms". The Shepherdess competition is a sublime piece of television - no-one will ever hear "We will rock you" again without a small smile as "we will shear you" comes to mind. Watch this, love this, watch it again!

bamsefar_paa_piller I laughed my ass off watching only about an hour of this pathetic attempt of making a movie! I have never seen a movie with so many flaws, lame acting, even more lame plot and last but not least the most ridiculously poor production in the world!! I was at first drawn by the resumé on the back of the DVD and went in with open expectations. But all I saw was actors dressed in weird costumes and many of them chose to wear ugly masks. The last part probably because they didn't want their faces shown, in what they knew from the start was a crappy movie. I must admit that the story, with a little editing, could turn out to be an epic story like Lord of The Rings, but when you are making a movie this long it takes a lot of money to keep up the quality. It seems to me that they had to save where ever they could. As a result of all this, the movie turned out extremely poor and I wouldn't even recommend this to my worst enemyYou have to be a tremendously tasteless person or just 6 years old to enjoy the piece of garbage!Sincerely yours Pia Kjærsgård

renoactor Let me start with praise for the magnificent graphics, costumes and sets and the cute story and the Wolf that stole the movie, followed closely by Sally Peep. But when Tony says he'll stay behind at the end, who can blame him? His daughter, whom he raised alone, considers him a joke and argues with him every chance she gets, and is more affected by the death of her mother who tried to kill her three times. Not that Tony doesn't have his own problems. He is continually sarcastic and verbally abusive to Virginia (and everyone else within earshot). I count no less than four times that his daughter is crying inconsolably and he stands silently and watches her. Have either of these people heard of a HUG? No wonder Virginia skips from a brief kiss to the horizontal hokey-pokey with Wolf. No one has ever shown her any real affection. I think that's where this film fell down for me. Dad and daughter were only sparring partners. They might as well have been complete strangers. It might have played better.

XenonOmega This movie is one of the best epic fantasy film I've ever watched!! 'Stardust' started the epic fantasy hype for me and this movie spurred the momentum even more when I watched it the second time recently. The storyline is absolutely beautiful! Just like 'Prison Break', there are lots of twists and turns in the story and that keeps you at the edge of your seat from the beginning to the end. The 'hatred' and 'love' relationship between the characters is also complex and enjoyable to see. I don't understand why NBC won't pick up for a second season... I've first watched this in New Zealand actually 8 years ago but I still remember the views were really high during the airing week... The opening sequence of the movie must have been the most beautiful piece I have ever seen!! Great special effects and the idea is very original. The theme song is very touching and they couldn't have pick a better theme song. I definitely recommend you watch this if you can, you won't waste your time. If you enjoyed 'Stardust', then you'll definitely enjoy this one..!!! ^^
