hyped garbage

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

best movie i've ever seen.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Xena is a great series, that you must see. Lucy Lawless and Renee o' Connor have great acting chemistry together and do very well on screen. The series never takes itself too seriously and has it's funny moments as well as it's dramatic moments. Xena is a spin off of Hercules the Legendary Journeys but you can start this anytime without having to watch the other series. This is just plain awesome. Go Xena now!I give Xena: Warrior Princess a 8/10

Xena was a campy classic masterpiece full of action, suspense and great storytelling about friendship. During the 90s when women power ran amock, Xena bulldozed in wearing her glamorous outfit and kicking butt. Along her side was her loyal friend Gabrielle who kept her on the barrow path and provided companionship on the road. Sure the formula was repetitive with good winning over evil, but the relationships, creatures or warlords played by various guest stars always kept you on your toes and kept you tuning in every weak. The costumes, music and humor were always true to the heart of the episode. Speaking of humor sometimes it worked well intelligently worked up to and other times it could be low brow for the common folk.Still Xena paved the way for other copy cat shows trying to cash on the fame yet it will always be remembered as the first to break new ground. It even enjoys quite a huge cult following in the fandom and celebrated for it brilliant ambiguity. Xena will still be remembered as one of the best shows ever produced and never go out of style. Get caught up in the fantasy world.

This is more of a testament that this show brought into my life. I just watched my close friend bury her 24 year old son. After watching a woman i loved for 10 years die in front of me and a friend of mine die of cancer after i tended him, i thought that emotional part of myself was gone. I actually had ,i hoped it was because it would have been easier to proceed through the rest of my life.Anyway, I knew i needed to did deep in order to be able to help my friend and support her. I then started hoping that part of me was alive but I no longer knew how to access it. I needed a spark beyond the closeness of our friendship because it was a side of me i buried. I remember ed seeing Xena and Gabrielle and knew if i could see that tenderness i could find mine and i did.I have held her as shes cried and stayed up with her and discussed her deceased son. It tears me up every time but i would not want to be anywhere else. To Renee O'Connor and Lucy lawless, I thank you Lisarib2267@calu.edu

Xena, a spin-off from Hercules, surpassed it's predecessor in ratings and popularity, becoming a humongous hit, and achieved cult status.They covered thought provoking themes such as redemption, the greater good, moral dilemmas, grief, anger, betrayal, relationships, friendship, and the power of love. It was heart-wrenching at times and hilarious other times(the comedies). It was immersed in fantasy(mythology) with stylized Hong Kong martial arts action and a wink, Xena and Gabrielle both had growth as characters and you literally got to see it happen. Xena, multi-skilled, thanks to her amazing infamous storied past, wasn't a typical boring hero(Hercules, yawn) type that we've seen a thousand times in fiction and on the screen. She changed her ways and kept her badass edgeLucy Lawless is a true find. Her range as an actress is outstanding. An underrated actress, I believe she is one of the best actresses out there today. Her current work on Spartacus is blowing me away. Her facial expressions are the best I've ever seen in an actress. She really knows how and when to use them. Whether it be a quiet subtle moment or more extreme. She's not afraid to scream or yell or snarl. Most Hollywood beauties would be worried about it making them look unattractive or ugly. But not the ballsy Mrs. Lawless. She sinks herself into the role and gives it her all!She plays a tough warrior woman with a dark past whom changes her ways and now fights for the greater good, and yet she still keeps her badass edge. Renee O'Connor is sweet and cute. Perfectly cast as Xena's partner, Gabrielle. She brings a lot of comedic moments into Xena's much darker life. She also somewhat becomes Xena's conscience as the series progresses. Xena and Gabrielle's charm, banter, and depth of their friendship was more enjoyable and touching than anything I've ever seen on other shows.Yes, there's subtext. Heaps. One might be under the delusion that this show is only for lesbians, and that's why it became a hit. I'm here to tell you not so at all. Over the many years, I have come to know for a fact that there are a ton of straight male and female fans in addition to gay and lesbian fans. All around the world! In all age groups! The stories and charming lead characters were riveting, and that is a great draw for anyone that appreciates richly done show.The most important thing: was I entertained? Because in the end that's all that really matters. The answer is yes. It was....it is, a very thought provoking and satisfying experience. Imo, it fulfilled something that was missing on TV, an empowered female. She could take care of herself and didn't answer or take orders from anyone.How refreshing!
