Summary: I'm in love!
Review: I first saw this show on TV. I wasn't satisfied with all the commercials, so I rented the video. They cut out quite a bit in the TV show. I absolutly loved Val and Elisabeth's chemistry. I would love to fall in love the way they did. It was so romantic! I thought Mr. Kilmer's part was played magnificiantly. He changed characters with ease. Truly a gifted performer. I would recommend this movie to anyone who needs a good love story.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Just a fun and appealing film
Review: I admit this film could have been a lot better by adding a little more intelligence to the script, to go along with the gadgets and capers. There were also a few more quirks that I had, but lets not worry about those. This film was not made to win any oscars or any other awards for that matter, just to entertain. Having said that,it is of much higher quality than those who just set out to entertain. It is an intruiguing character, and the settings are very appealing as well. I hate to have to give this movie a stars rating. I would just say that I bought it because it is very fun to watch, and the subject matter appeals to me greatly.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: the saint
Review: A great movie, romace, action, adventure... everything a movie should have and more. Will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time with interesting twists throughout the movie.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: What happened?
Review: The first time I saw this film I thought it was great but the second time it was down and out boring? I think the reason is because Kilmer played the part a little true blue. To much like a saint, there was nothing really attractive about his personality. And the miracles came a little easy at the end. Shue was okay, I really wanted this to be great because Kilmer is one of the best actors but he failed this part.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: A FEAST for the "VAL WATCHER"!
Review: This one is BIG FUN! Val is witty and to watch him move about the screen is BREATH-TAKING! This movie is "the one" when a little escape is what you need. SAINT (2), pleeease!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: yet another angry Saint fan
Review: Sad. That is the only word for it. What were they thinking. "Hey, let's take Leslie Charteris' compelling hero, strip him (in more ways than one) of all humor and stick him in an Ian Fleming ripoff plot, add a 20- something nuclear scientist, some sleazy sex and try to pawn it off on the unsuspecting USA"

If that isn't a conspiracy, I don't know what is. Read the books, this movie eats IQ points.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This movie has it all.
Review: Anyone who is into spy movies, action movies, love stories, or electronic music will go crazy for this movie. The spy and action portion is enough to keep you on the edge of your couch. Throw in a beautiful Elizabeth Schue and you have the complete package. For all you who are into the electro music scene, like me, this movie is one big music video. The soundtrack includes some of the best and well known electro groups. This movie would make a great first DVD for anyone starting their collection. Great sound, great music, and best of all, great movie! ENJOY!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I really liked it.
Review: I liked this movie. I admit I really liked it because of the romance, but also the action and the story(cold fusion). Elizabeth Shue has never looked so beautiful or so ethereal. The ending was really funny(the incident where she was giving her speech). I really couldn't stand the son of the villain, was he supposed to have had some kind of esp or sixth sense. Other than that I loved this movie.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A waste.
Review: The Saint was a massive disappointment. I mean, I was expecting him to be an out and out hero...you know, save cities and stuff. Turns out he's a thief who in the end turns nice. The plot for this film is therefore awful. I had to watch it twice before I understood all the cold fusion nonsense. The trouble is, the film doesn't know what it wants to be. It works kind of like this: "I'm gonna be about Simon Templar's past...No, I'll be a love story between Templar and the scientist...No, I'll be a spy film about the Russian Mafia...' and throughout the film, this happens - it changes from one to the other, and ends up as a mess. Val Kilmer is actually quite good as the Saint, and Elisabeth Shue is reasonably good too - but the film simply bored me to death. Had it been more simple, with more characters and a stronger plot, it could have been a classic....but let's face it, Val Kilmer doesn't exactly outshine Roger Moore. On the whole, as I said earlier, a mess.
