Rating: Summary: Ivanhoe Without Rebecca Review: Scott's "Ivanhoe" is one of my favorite stories. I have seen every movie version, and I was curious about this one, so, I bought it. This is one of the oddest. It has been dubbed -- badly -- from what appears to be Russian. It is short. To make it short, the story has been gutted. Gone are Rebecca and her father Isaac of York. Since the story centers around Rebecca, and the love of Ivanhoe and Brian de Bois Gilbert (whose name has been altered, for no apparent reason, to "Brian de Buge Gilbert") for Rebecca, it really isn't "Ivanhoe". Also, Gilbert lives in the end. Go figure.I write this review, because I read the other reviews before buying this DVD, and I wonder whether the reviewers watched the same movie that I bought.
Rating: Summary: good movie but short Review: this movie was good but a little bit short we all liked it and gave it 4 out of 5 stars it could have been longer
Rating: Summary: THE LEGEND WILL LIVE ON Review: This was an outstanding adventure film for the entire family. A young knight wrongly accused as a traitor, fights to restore his King, Richard the Lion Hearted to the throne stolen by the king's brother, Prince John. Only the beautiful princess Rowena believes Ivanhoe is innocent, and she shall stand up to all who would defame him. My kids loved the great battle for the castle fortress with it's wall to wall fighting and sword play. No matter what you're looking for,"action, romance, adventure; IVANHOE delivers it all".
Rating: Summary: great family film Review: we got this movie and kids and adults love it, great action, story and plot. Nothing in it that kids cant see. you will enjoy it!
Rating: Summary: Yucks and Yucks! Review: Yucks! And yucks again! This is one of the worst films I have watched. Poor acting and cinematography, coupled with bad film to DVD transfer serve to spoil an otherwise wonderful classic by Sir Walter Scott. The English version is dubbed. Save your pennies for the 1952 version from MGM starring Robert Taylor and Elizabeth Taylor or the 1982 TV version starring James Mason and Olivia Hussey.
