Rating: Summary: Tenth Kingdom - Wow! Review: From the moment the story begins, you are hooked. I saw this mini-series here in NZ, and was captivated!The fairytales we have all read about are in this, but more along the Brothers Grimm storylines. The way they are interspersed with one another, is absolutely magical! They are funny, sad, everything you could imagine. It is a must see!...
Rating: Summary: More 10th Kingdom Please! Review: After I watched this movie I felt like I needed to read the book! I wish Hallmark would make a sequel. I would watch it and ask my mother to buy the DVD.
Rating: Summary: Amazing and Spectacular! Review: Wow, this movie is sooooo good!!! It's one of my favorites! The acting is really great and it's such an interesting story. I love this movie! It's a fantasy movie but it's really good! You will definitely be hooked and really enjoy this movie!!
Rating: Summary: ...AND WORTH EVERY ONE OF THEM! Review: A thoroughly enchanting tale. I began watching it on NBC when it first aired and missed the third instalment. I didn't want to spoil it for myself, so I refused to watch the others and immediately bought it on VHS from ncb.com. I have since bought it again on DVD from amazon. Can you tell I love the movie??? Anyway, the characters are all fabulous. All have depth and all give sterling performances. My favourite scene (there are so many) is the courthouse (what a jury!). In fact I loved the entire farming village portion of the movie. The engagement ring is a real scene stealer - imagine a RING stealing scenes. That could only happen in a fairy tale! The "ratings bust" referred to in the editorial I believe came about because it was so long. Hard to get home every night for 6 nights at the same time to catch this epic. (Don't bother to mention 'Roots'. Those were different times and a completely different matter altogether). The saddest part of the lack of good ratings is that it will probably retard (or completely prevent) another instalment. If the Video/DVD is selling as well as I think it is though, who knows, we just might get a straight to DVD sequel. I certainly hope that Virginia keeps her subtle "promise", made at the end, of "... another story".
Rating: Summary: Must Have the 10th Kingdom Review: The 10Th kingdom is a must have movie for fantasy lovers. I have watched my VHS so much it broke so now I'm getting the dvd. It is wonderful.

Rating: Summary: Parents, alert, you need this! Review: I loved it when I first saw it on TV, and bought the videotapes. Then, I suddenly acquired two pre-adolescent children when I hooked up with my now-fiance. Upon showing them these videos, they were entranced... to the point where the tapes got wrecked and I had to go back to buy the DVD. Which I did willingly. Not only is this an incredibly well-made and clever show that I enjoy immensely for myself, if you have kids you must know that when you have two children, 9 and 12, of opposite genders, who normally fight like crazed trolls, if you find ANYthing that will keep them quiet, pleasant, and entertained during the rainiest, nastiest spring on record, you make sure you have it in durable format. Buy it, buy it!
Rating: Summary: 10th Kingdom - A hidden gem Review: The 10th Kingdom is such a fantastic fantasy and I am glad that few people know of this terrific film. I grew up on the Labyrinth and the Princess Bride and while this may not match these classics in my heart it certain captures the magic of the genre. The only thing is I can't get my wife to watch it with me - it takes a truly dedicated fantasy lover to sit through it - which I am!
Rating: Summary: Soul Searching Movie Review: I saw something in this movie that touched my soul, myself. Virginia and her father were always looking for happiness elsewhere. Having been abandoned and living with the pain of that. Never happy, running from here to there, flirting with danger, making poor choices. The best part of the movie was when Virginia met up with Snow White. The words and wisdom spoken by Snow White forced Virginia to look at herself and her life. After this brief encounter, Virginia was empowered to live life on her own terms. Virginia grew up. That was a powerful moment. This movie was about more than characters and costumes. It had a message. I found the movie funny, enchanting, wistful and full of meaning.
Rating: Summary: Marathon Length sans plot Review: I had a review up on this movie for a couple weeks that kept getting "not helpful" reviews, so I'm trying again...how can I nicely say that this movie is REALLY BAD. I'm not a movie snob, I swear...and I love cheesy fantasy, the more glitter and fairies the better. I think this one would be good for small children, but if you're an adult looking for a fantasy movie, try The Snow Queen, Merlin, The Princess Bride, Legend, anything but this!!
