Summary: The Movie You Have To See.
Review: This is a great movie,It takes all the fairtale fanties like, Snow White, Cinderella, Wicked Whiches, Prince Charming and combinds it with todays socity. I recommend for all adults and teenagers (over the age of 13) to rent this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Perfect Fairy Tale come to television .....
Review: The only reason I can see that this was not the mini-series hit of the year is NBC failed dismally to properly promote it. It was billed for children, and while they may enjoy it (though parts are scary, and death does occur) this is a fantasy of a tale for the adult who can still delight in fairy tales and whimsey.

The performances are perfect as was the casting. Things go awry as they should and enchantment with a tongue-in-cheek attitude abounds.

This is not for the 'action' fan, nor those who don't like/get/want the absolutely CHARMING. It's in a catagory of it's own. All of the old favorites (Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Cinderella, et. al.) have at least a nod and the action fits nicely into every bedtime story you've heard without copying it.

A more fairy-tale-ish "Princess Bride" type of show. The humor is subtle enough that it will fly nicely over the little one's heads, but they will still like the dog, the prince and the gnomes. Adults who still live in Wonderland will love the 9 Kingdoms, too. A pure delight. But it left me yearning for that next darn story hinted at.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Magical Mirror to a Perfect Fantasy
Review: Sometime ago (I can't recall how long as I'm just recovering from a dose of troll dust) I remember turning on the television to find myself flung into a strange fairie tale. But it was different, the characters 'Snow White', 'Cinderella' where there so where trolls and spells. But none behaved quite as they did in the stories we have heard as children, they had grown and changed. You travel with this young woman and her father through weird/spooky and delightful scenes, 'guided' by their confused friend (Scott Cohen) the wolfman. Their aim is to return to the world that you and I know, but slowly become involved in the saving of Prince Wendell. I became so facinated by the story and fell in love with Scott Cohen, that I truly did not notice the length of the film (I didn't even get 'flat bottom syndrome!)
Highly recommended for all those who wished they could travel into another time and live in a place where dreams could come true.

Summary: A Fairytale for the Young at Heart
Review: The 10th Kingdom does what great fairytales always do... weaves us into a world of magic where romance blossoms and the bad guys always get what they deserve, and happily ever after is the norm. Definintely, for me, Wolf is every prince charming I've ever dreamed of... a knight in tarnished armour. I loved rediscovering my childhood story heroines and heros, villans and wicked step-mothers and I especially loved the spins, twists and modern-day edge old characters were given. This is an amazing epic and I enjoyed every single minute of the 10-hour series... and all I can say now is................. where is the next follow-up series??!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fun Fun Fun
Review: This is a rich, meandering story, weaving legends and fairy tales together into a complex and delightful tapistry. It combines humor, drama, slapstick, tragedy, horror... oh gosh, you name it! It is thoroughly entertaining for all members of the family. It can careen from one extreme to another (at times jarringly) - but even in its failings it is great. We are watching it as a family for the 5th time now, and since it is so long, we take about 3 weeks to see it (only on weekends). Each night is an event we look forward to. The wolf is a particular favorite of my husband and me, while my daughter loves the dog/Prince. Wish all TV productions were as imaginative and bold.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow What a Concept
Review: This was a very entertaining fanstasy movie. Turning fairytale characters into real grown ups was a wonderful idea. The special effects, settings, costumes and characters were great. I enjoyed the tale as it unraveled. I was surprised at the ending. Nicely surprised, though - there really is a happily everafter. Ann Margaret as a 200+ year old Cinderella, that alone was worth the price of admission.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Greatest Movie Out There
Review: This is my all time favorite movie. It has beautiful cinematography and beautiful acting by "A list" stars. Makes you yourself want to find a portal in the park and end up in this encanting (although with its "bad apples" so to say) place. It'll make you love fairytales all over again. Great on DVD or VHS. Also a great read, so get the book as well!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great singing ring
Review: The only good fantasy movie that's an all day experience. Seems a bit hokie at times but the next surprise scene always makes those times worth watching through. This movie is a wonderful way to entertain yourself when too sick to go to work.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: The Tenth Kingdom - Breathtaking!
Review: This is one of my favorite fantasy movies, and novels, of all time. The story is good, the filming is excellent, and the actors and actresses are even better, and that's saying something. Never before have I ever seen such beautiful landscapes either. When I first saw the commercials for this miniseries, I was like, 'This is the movie for me.' It's got everything: From adventure, to mystery, to drama, to romance, and of course, fairytales, this movie had everything I had hoped. Although this movie is a whopping 10 hours long, and you probably wouldn't be able to see it in one sitting, (although, I have -_^) I still highly recommend you AT LEAST rent this movie twice (you are gonna have to) It is enjoyable for anyone.
