Summary: The best movie EVER!
Review: "The Bodyguard" is my favorite movie. I've seen it already about 50 times and I can't really get enough of it. Whitney's acting is incredible! And her voice! I've become a fan of HER after this movie. I also like Kevin Costner very much. He's a good actor. Whitney and Kevin are the best duett onscreen, they should do one more film together. The Bodyguard is the best movie of all times and it still makes me cry!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Could have been a great movie...
Review: ...if there had been some sort of detectable chemistry between Kevin and Whitney. The love story didn't make sense.

The story around the love story was good, though; Kevin's character definitely some internal issues against which he continually battles (and loses). He believes he must remain detached and stoic to be an effective bodyguard. As a former secret service agent, he feels guilt over not preventing the shooting of President Reagan while being at his mother's funeral. His triumph over these issues comes at the end when he saves his "love" from death.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Costner Rocks
Review: 5 Star Costner in a 3 Star Movie gives this film a generous 4 Star rating...

The movie itself is worth renting once or twice, but Costner made it worth the purchase. The simplicity of the role and the complexity of the character made it a performance only Kevin Costner could pull off.

One may fancy action over drama, but quite really, any action fan can take a look at Costner as the Bodyguard and appreciate the fact that, "Man, that dude is hard!"

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: HORRIBLE ..
Review: About 3 reviewers below saida this is the greatest movie ever made... I don't need to say anything more, except: it is not ! This is pure Hollywoodian garbage, movie in its lowest level, a mere vehicle for Houston show her "great" voice and her total incapacity to act ! (as CIndy Crawford. As always, Costner is ridiculous.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: "ESSENTIAL" VIDEO?!?!?!
Review: Are the people from amazon.com NUTS? Since when was this movie considered "essential"? (along with cough cough, Titanic) First off, no doubt the music is great (classic Whitney!) and as Much as I love some Whitney Houston, she can't really act very well. The "chemistry" between Kevin "Robot Man" Costner and Whitney is just awful. The only thing which makes this movie good is the music (A la "glitter") because Whitney is an incredibly talented singer. Other then that, I'd suggest "The Preacher's Wife" instead.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Finally! The Diva Herself on Widescreen
Review: But this IS NOT a 2 disc set. I enjoyed this movie so much, but always wanted to see it in widescreen. Now, after many, many years Warner has graced us with one. Kevin Costner is the bodyguard, a role I would like to see him do again. There is a good sequel in there somewhere, but we don't really need Whitney. She's OK, well, she's playing herself really. The musical numbers are great, the soundtrack is superb! (Even that over, over, overplayed song "I'll Always Love You." I had the first edition on DVD, and this new one has better sound and higher picture quality. If you watch this film often, treat yourself and upgrade to this special edition. Also features a new documentary on the making of the film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Bodyguard Fan
Review: Don't listen to the negative reviews above. Those people don't have a clue what they are talking about. This is one of my favorite movies and is probably one of the best ever made. You can't help but love it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Good Movie With a Few Minor Flaws
Review: First off I'd like to mention that even though it lists the remastered soundtrack as one of the special features, it doesn't mean that it is has the actual soundtrack included, it just means the scenes of the movie with music are remastered. This DVD isn't really good as far as special features, but the movie is as good as it was 10 years ago. Whitney is excellent in her film debut, and Kevin is no worse than he usually is. The only big problem with this movie is that Whitney's character, Rachel, curses more than half the time. If you have a child that you don't think is old enough to listen to Whitney Houston saying the F word, I suggest you tape this off TV (it's always on) and watch that copy when with your child, as they always edit the curses out. Other than these things, this movie is excellent, suspenseful, romantic, and gives you insight into the dangerous life of a superstar. If you like these things, or just like Whitney, or, umm, Kevin, you will love this movie, just don't expect "I'm Every Woman" to show up anywhere, it doesn't.

Rating: 3 stars
