Summary: Look no further for great fantasy
Review: Tired of sitcoms and news programs? Are you a fantasy buff who can never find anything sufficient to ease your desire for the magical? Well, look no further than the Tenth Kingdom. I admittedly did not watch the miniseries when it was on TV- I instead watched it on DVD after my father purchased it.

Let me tell you, it was great.

One thing that always gets me, in either books, games or movies, is characters. The Tenth Kingdom thankfully has enough wonderful characters to keep me fully satisfied. There's the lonely Virginia, who is played very well by Kimberly Williams, and her bumbling father Tony, played humorously by John Larroquette. Evil characters there are plenty, including Ed O'Neill as the Troll King, his three rather clueless children, Rutger Hauer as the Huntsman you'll love to hate, and of course, Dianne West as a deliciously evil Queen. And no, I haven't forgotten Scott Cohen as Wolf- I was simply saving the best for last. Who can fail to be delighted watching this hungry wolf fall in love with the 'succulent' Virgina and his various conquests thereof to steal her heart?

The basic plotline is thus- The Queen, naturally planning on taking over the Nine Kingdoms, turns Prince Wendell of the 4th Kingdom, grandson of Snow White- into a dog. The prince, Virginia, Tony, and Wolf meet up through various circumstances, are swept away into fairy land, and undergo a quest to find a magic mirror- the only thing that will bring them back home.

The movie is incredibly long- but it has to be, in order to tell its tale. You won't get tired of it- believe me- I once stayed up all night to watch the entire show with a friend. I reccomend this DVD to anyone who enjoys a good, rollicking fantasy full of adventure, comedy, and more Fairy Tale allusions than you can shake a stick at. Have fun!

Summary: I WANT MORE!!!!
Review: I saw this at Blockbuster, and as I needed something to rent cause I was bored, I grabed it not really knowing what it was about, or how long it would be! Three nights later, I was in a stupor. This movie was GREAT! So much so, that after having watched it for 3 nights in a row, I feel I lost my family now that its over! I WANT MORE! And the way it ended, it seems that a sequel *could* be made, or was planned to be made. I sure hope so, cause though I just bought it on DVD (and now watching it again), I can only watch it so many times without thirsting for a new continuation of it.

Funny thing too, . . . . that Wolf sort of reminds me of Stephen King's Talisman story in a way :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Movie!!!
Review: Though this may be one of the longest movies it does a great job of keeping your attention. The way the characters are constantly encountering new problems it never ends. The Set designs are a work of genius and the special effects are great too!!! I highly recommend this to anyone interested in Adventure or Fantasy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An enchanting movie!
Review: I'm not a big fan of fantasy, and I thought I'd never be able to watch 6-1/2 hours of one--but I was wrong! This movie is WONDERFUL! In fact, as soon as it was finished I rewound it and started all over again. My husband, also no fantasy freak, just finished it and is already talking about seeing it again! (You have to watch it over several days.) It has everything--adventure, romance, humor, and even plenty of food for thought--even recovery from child abuse is discussed (did you ever think of Snow White, Cinderella, etc., as abused children?). I can't say enough about this movie. You have to see it to understand why over two hundred people have given it such high ratings.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: The best movie
Review: The 10th Kingdom is an amazing movie. I love fantasy, and this is basically the movie that got me into it. I love how Scott Cohen acted as Wolf, and Kimberly Williams did a great job playing Virginia. I'd tell you all about the movie, but to tell you the truth, I'd have to take up a lot of space, and I don't have the time for that. Let's just put it this way: do yourself a favor and buy this movie. You won't regret it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Most minutes for your dollar
Review: I bought this DVD because it is over 400 minutes long. So no matter how good the movie turned out to be, at least I'd have a lot of it. The 10th Kingdom is not a great movie. In fact I once made a few of my friends sit down and watch it and they wouldn't go past 2 hours. But they are pretty busy guys. The movie is good, and no one says you can't watch it in a few sittings. It's not very complicated or deep, but it is entertaining and captivating, and its basis in fairy tales makes it familiar. There is also a cool map on the DVD of the 9 kingdoms. At less than 5 cents per minute, this DVD may be the best bargain out there.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awestruck...
Review: When this movie first came out on television, I had taped it, I never did get around to watching it though. Recently my little sister rented the VHS version and we sat down at 10:30 pm to watch it. Little did we know that we would be sitting there until 5:00 am! The movie was well worth it though... there are so many subplots and each person is so unique. Throughout this movie I found myself falling in love with Wolf... he is the worlds perfect man (ahem... beast).

Rating: 5 stars
