Summary: I wish I lived on a deserted island with Brian Krause!!
Review: I really loved this movie, it makes me wish it would happen to me!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just as good- if not better- than the first
Review: I saw both "The Blue Lagoon" and "Return to the Blue Lagoon" when I was a bit younger, but when I rewatched them I got the same feeling as before.. they are both excellent movies about love and this one is no worse than the first. It's a similar storyline, but it provides a nice twist in the end when the two (now grown) teens are given a chance to return to civilization.
Also, I'd like to comment that in the end of The Blue Lagoon, Em and Richard did die because... the child only had one berrie, which made him go to sleep. But when a person has a lot of those berries (and no, I can't remember the name) then they die. It's like having one sleeping pill as opposed to twenty (which is essentially what Em and Richard did at the end of the first movie).
Also, this movie has much more gorgeous people. Brian Krause can now be found in the WB show Charmed (altho he's not as hot, of course) and Milla is going to be in the upcoming sequel to Resident Evil.. where she (again) fights evil zombie monsters in a sexy red dress and black boots. Wow, she's sexy. anyway... enough of my drooling. This movie is wonderful, I recommend it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It rocks
Review: I started to watch this movie because I am a fan of Charmed which Brian Krause is on but the more I got into it the more I loved it and watched it again on love stories and now I may rent it too

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A decent romantic movie
Review: My wife and I enjoyed the emphasis on marital fidelity and the respect for God shown in this movie. This is a romantic movie without the perversions usually associated with films of this nature. Hollywood, make more like this one.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: THEY DID NOT DIE!!!
Review: ok people watch the first movie you will see at the end they are just sleeping when they are found. and in the begining of the second one they are dead???? how do they live in the first one but die in the sequel. and the child paddy was like 2 when they were found. but in return to the blue lagoon he is like 4 and re-named richard. how can the SAME director make two movies that are the same but with such huge differneces? and why now does everyone think that richard adn emmiline die? did they not watch the movie THERE ASLEEP!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: review by me
Review: ok so i was around at my cuzins with nothing to do so she said 'lets watch a movie' as a movie buff i am allways up 4 a good movie so i sat back wit some popcorn and began to watch this movie kicks ass! the fact that the main charaters are so far away from people is the best part so they dont care about anything pathetic like most people then thefact that they can act so real is amazing. i rate this movie 4stars because it is not a cult movie and cult movies kick ass. i kick ass.

Summary: Millaliscious
Review: Ok,when compared to the The Blue Lagoon,it looks like Return to the Blue Lagoon doesn't hold up as well, but if you take a closer look the film really is good. It's well acted by Milla Jovovich and Brian Krause. Milla did a beautiful job of pulling it off compared to the wonderful Brooke Shields. And I don't just think this because I LOVE MILLA JOVOVICH. Ok actually i'm a Milla whore. I'm a complete Milla nut. I Love everything that I'v seen her in.This film is uniquely good when looked at in it's own catagory. The tenderness of the love story is handled nicely. It's beautifully shot. The story's interesting even if it is semi recycled from the original. But I believe given a chance,you will really like. If not there's always the original.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This movie is really romantic, definately a chick flick!
Review: Return to the Blue lagoon is probably one of my favorite "rent" movies. It really cheers you up if you are having a bad day, and puts you in the romantic mood. This movie basically moves right along, and by the time you get to the romance, it's finished. This movie is not to long, but not to short. Although, it does have many differences than The Blue Lagoon, with Brook Shields. To get a better knowledge of the movie, it is best to see both of them! So don't hesitate to rent both the blue lagoon, and Return to the blue lagoon. I love this movie so much, that I even have a picture of it, with Brian Krause framed.

Summary: nice scenery, not much story
Review: Return to the Blue Lagoon, originally released in 1991, is based on the story after Emmeline and Richard die at sea, but their boy is rescued by a ship. On this ship, a lady named Sarah and a baby girl named Lilli escape the disease-ridden ship as well as a ill-intentioned shipmate before landing on the island that has the blue lagoon. It stars Milla Jovovich as Lilli and Brian Krause as Richard, and also Lisa Pelikan as Sarah, the widow who takes care of them as infants before dying on the island. The duo are at different times threatened by a shark, native tribes, and a ship of people.

This movie, while containing much beautiful scenery and a good idea, lacks both the persuasion and plot necessary for it to be recommended by myself. It also lacks meaning, besides a somewhat-unconvincing theme of staying true to each other in trying times, which is barely even noticeable above the drivel.

Especially annoying is Brian Krause's portrayal of Richard, who is whinier than Luke Skywalker at the beginning of Star Wars IV: A New Hope. His acting was also not that great, to put it kindly. As another reviewer put it, he is even at some points embarrassing, such as his ongoing antagonism with a shark. "You think you own this reef?" he shouts one of the times. Milla Jovovich's performance was much better, as well as Lisa Pelikan's, but the plot didn't hold up under the weight of the meaninglessness drivel. There was no suspense, such as we could at least see with The Beach, another flick with a "paradise-threatened" theme.

I guess some could call this a chick flick, I just call it boring. Overall, this probably is not a great movie even to rent, unless you are in the mood for a movie about people stranded on an island, and The Beach, Castaway and Robinson Crusoe are checked out already.
