Summary: Disappointing
Review: Ladyhawke is an elegant fantasy that features good production values, a decent cast, and appealing characters. Its weakness, however, is mostly due to the score. Other S&S movies, namely "Conan the Barabarian" and "Excalibur" were redeemed by masterful scores. The music in this one is annoying and down right awful. The special effects are acceptable when they arrive, but there's little action, and most of the fight scenes are mild and rather uninvolving. With an absense of the above, this movie really shoots itself in the foot with its overlength. It goes on forever, making you not only eager for the lovers to reunite, but for the film to end. I'm being generous by giving it three stars.

Summary: Beautiful, wonderful, timeless fantasy movie
Review: This movie is timeless. Every time I turn it on, it is as if I am seeing it for the first time. The music, the actors, Michelle Pfeiffer, the scenery, the animals (especially the magnificant horses) = they all contribute to this delightful movie. I would recommend it highly, and have to many friends, as a pure entertainment movie. In this age of movies that are all the same or are dominated by special effects, this movie is refreshing. A love story, an action movie blended together to create total enjoyment. If you haven't seen this movie, this is the one to add to your collection.

Summary: Forever a Ladyhawke fan!
Review: Ladyhawke has been, for me, the ultimate love story since it was created nearly 14 years ago. I was 13 years old when it first hit the theatres and it continues to be my "hands-down, no competition" favorite movie. Some people are trekkies, some loved M.A.S.H., I love Ladyhawke! I purchased the soundtrack, bought the poster, wore out my first video cassette of the film from viewing it so often. But the culmination of my obsession (!) happened when I made a "pilgrimage" to Aquila, Italy and visited the cathedral and the castle. If you like Medieval history and enjoy the legends and myths that illustrate that time so magically, this movie is for you. The special effects probably aren't as special by today's standards, but it is part of the charm of the movie. Broderick has adorable wit, Pfeiffer has incredible beauty, and the leather clad Hauer on his stunning black horse is quite the "captain of the guard".

Summary: A fine and glorious adventure!
Review: Ladyhawke is a fine love story set against spectacular scenery. There's plenty of action and excitement, and magnificent horses. The battle scene in the cathedral is a classic, a great climax to a great movie. Broderick's running conversations with God are entertaining, and the supporting characters add texture to the tale. The movie's only fault is its length, though it's still worth the watch.P.S. A bit of movie trivia for horse buffs: Navarre's awesome mount is a Friesian horse. Friesians are a Dutch breed renowned for their high-stepping gaits which make them popular as carriage horses, usually driven in pairs or fours. They are always black, and therefore are often desired to draw a hearse in funeral processions.

Summary: A good classic tale. Not an exceptional DVD.
Review: This movie is great and one that can be watched over and over again. It is unfortunate that the DVD did not include any extras that would have made the movie even better. Seeing a young Mathew Broderick and Michelle Pfeifer was a lot of fun. I didn't mind the fact that they couldn't hold an accent (I actually preferred it that way).

Summary: Wonderful film
Review: This is a wonderful, wonderful film. Every time I see it I'm impressed with the cinematography, sets, story, and acting. The music's definitely not what you'd expect in a medival setting, but I love it. END

Summary: Wonderful story
Review: I only recently saw this movie. I wish I would have seen it when it first came out. The acting was a bit choppy (especially accents). Even though I have been greatly impressed by their later works. The wonderful story more than made up for the films weakness. I would advise this movie for anyone. END
