Summary: Medieval action reaches a new summit.
Review: A trully enjoyable movie. The selection of stars is unique and it works. Aided by an excellent supporting cast Pfeiffer, Hauer and Broderick really put the magic on the screen. I don't understand people griping about Brodericks monologues. If anything, they don't belong with Woody Allen so much as with Shakespeare. It is a classical case of comic relieve. The action is fast-paced and the fights, coordinated by the same man who worked for Lester in the Three Musketeers are particularly thrilling.

Summary: A wonderful fantasy love story
Review: Ladyhawke is a wonderful love story about two cursed lovers and a young petty theif that helps them in their quest to make things right. I loved this video because there was just something magical about the entire story and I thought the acting was really good for the young cast. It is one of those movies you want to watch over and over again.

Summary: Best Movie!
Review: This movie is about two lovers who are put under a spell. Captain Navarre becomes a wolf by night and his lover Isabeau is a beautiful hawk by day. Phillipe, a thief, escapes the the Dungons of Aquilla. He is saved by Navarre and joins him on his quest to kill the Bishop. Phillipe tries to escape once but Navarre finds him, again. Imperious the priest that betryed them, tells Navarre "Three days hence, there will be a day without a night, and a night without a day." But Narvarre doesn't believe him. So all four of them venture back to Aquilla. I won't give away the ending, but I can tell you this is an unbelieveable story of two lovers that are "together forever, eternaly apart" and still love each other as much they did before the curse. And, if you are a Matthew Broderick Fan, he is diffently hot in this one! It's a must see movie!

Summary: solid cast, solid story, solid costumes, solid entertainment
Review: It's amazing how many people have seen this film even though it was never a critcal success at the box office. Ladyhawke boasts an outstanding cast (I believe this to be Rutger Hauer's 2nd best film next to Blade Runner) and an excellent script with an original storyline that many should find quite engaging. The costumes are first rate and the sword fights are the most effective I have seen in film to date (neither Excalibur nor the insulting First Knight were ever as effective with their fight sequences; it should never look like you're swinging tooth picks around; swords are heavy and fighting with them is exhausting; the director obviously realized this fact and utilized it effectively in the finale--excellent). Yes, the music score for this film makes you scratch your head. Nevertheless, there are a handful of effective emotional tracks that tug you in the right direction (and a couple that make you cringe). Overall, a beautifully shot film, high production quality, and an original story. This is a first-rate film that should please most. This film never fails to impress me.

Summary: One to watch again and again
Review: I really enjoyed this movie. When I first heard about it, I thought it might turn out kind of stupid, but I've watched it many times within the last year (I've only owned the video for a year!). The music is great, no, amazing. And Navarre's horse is so powerful and beautiful. I'd recommend this movie to anyone.

Summary: A great adventure / love story .
Review: This movie is my favorite in this line of films. No one is quite as luminous or lovely as Michelle Pfeiffer is in this role. Rutger Hauer is great as her knight. Matthew Broderick is a fantastic "Mouse". "Ladyhawke" has it all-adventure,love, mystery,action-you name it. It is truly a love story for the ages, and I would take my young child to see it. I cannot recommend it any more highly than that.

Summary: It's pretty cool...
Review: Yes, I just got it from Amazon and saw it on my computer. DVD disc has 2 side, 1 for widescreen and 1 for normal TV (i.e. my monitor). It's nice for me who have no money to get a widescreen TV yet :) As for the plot, it is good, even though it is kind of 'expected'. Action is good, too. If you like medieval / love stories, it is a good pick.

Summary: Excellent Medieval Adventure!
Review: If you love medieval tales, action, adventure, or romance; this is the movie for you. The perfect date movie that entails all of the above into one beautiful tale. When someone told me the plot, I laughed. But, when I saw the movie, I was instantly in love. I saw it many times at the theater, and many hundreds of times since. The synopsis listed by Amazon has a few errors. For instance, Imperious is the priest who originally betrayed the lovers, but ultimately helps to save them. The Bishop is the evil one (not a sorceress) who contracts with the devil to place the curse upon the lovers. I sometimes wonder if some of these reviewers have seen the movie. The musical score fits perfectly with the movie. I ended up buying the soundtrack (the only other soundstracks that I have ever bought were 'The Sound Of Music' and 'Star Wars'). It is that good. It is a movie the whole family can see. It moves a little slow for some children, but older kids love it. Like I said, this is the perfect date movie. The storyline may sound odd, but believe me, you will love it.

Summary: One of my all-time favorite films!
Review: I really like the tragic love story. Wolves and hawks mate for life, and Isabeau and Navarre were even denied the same form.
