Summary: A MUST BUY FOR DVD.
Review: This is one of the best movies to buy on DVD. Unlike the VHS version, the color and clarity in the movie is outstanding. Whitney Houston's tracks in the movie are brought to life with the digital sound.

The concert scenes will blow you away. It will make everything you have hangin on your walls "SHAKE" no lie. Expecially the scene where she sings Queen of the night.

It has two formats to offer you standard and wide screen. So you can pick your choice which is nice. A must buy, you wont regret it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU...NOT!
Review: This movie was always going to be popular. Whitney the druggieHouston, and Kevin where's my career gone Costner.

Sure it's ok, but I thought Costners performance came across as cold rather than cool. The cool would have made this a winner. A bit of John Woo light action in it and there you go.

The sound track it lieable to crack your windows if you play it too loud, but never the less it's a decent buy. Good to show your girlfriend....

PEACE OUT. GO SUNS!

Summary: Southborough, MA says: Great movie and music!
Review: This was a great first-date movie! Both guys and gals will love the music and the storyline. Since Kevin Costner cannot act to save his life, he is perfectly cast in the bodyguard role. Although I was not previously a fan of Whitney Houston, this movie definitely boosts both her singing and acting appeal for me. Rent it or buy it!

Summary: Shlock
Review: This was a silly vehicle for Whitney to sell albums, which she did for some reason or other. A tale of lust (and greed) and not of love.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Outstanding Movie!
Review: This was definitely a good movie.Everything a movie fan could ask for is in this movie. Excellent actors and actresses, a good plot, and outstanding music came from this movie. Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston made this movie. Kevin Costner plays the role of a bodyguard assigned to protect a rock singer well played by Whitney Houston. He of course saves her from several close calls. In the meantime a close relationship develops between the bodyguard and the singer. In the meantime an evil person is always lurking nearby to do the singer harm. This proved to be an excellent movie that was entertaining to watch. You will not be dissapointed.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A profession that requires the annihilation of sentiments
Review: To be a bodyguard is not an easy task, particularly when you are dealing with showbizz people. They don't want to cut short their hazardous activities and attitudes of direct contact with the public and then it becomes easy for any would-be killer to perform their acts. This film also reveals that the contact between the bodyguard and the guarded person has to be entirely and only professional not to be disturbed by any personal and emotional element. This is hard to accept for a showbizz person who always sentimentalizes and personalizes the relations they entertain with their surrouding personnel. Yet the bodyguard in this mission will save the actress's son and then the actress herself in particularly public and dramatic conditions. The film will also create some justice when the killer executes the actress's sister who has been the one who paid for the elimination of her sister out of spite and jealousy. In other words the film is interesting because it erases as much sentimental mulk as possible only to retain the professional dimension of the mission.

Summary: Very Good
Review: When I first watched "The Bodyguard" I loved it. It was filled with suspense, drama, romance, and the beautiful voice of Whitney Houston. I think Whitney did such a good job in the role because she was basically playing herself and didn't have that far to stretch acting-wise. The chemistry between Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner seemed pretty good, but Costner seemed so dry much of the time, but maybe that suited his character more - someone who doesn't let his feelings show. I heard that this movie was originally going to be made with Steve McQueen and Diana Ross. I'm sure that would have been an interesting and good pairing, but I can't imagine anyone else but Whitney Houston playing the role of superstar singer, Rachel Marron.

Summary: Outstanding
Review: When this movie first came out the critics panned it mercilessly and frankly I just can't understand why. I thought it was fabulous. Kevin Costner plays an ex-Secret Service agent hired to protect a spoiled, difficult to get along with diva receiving death threats. Whitney Houston portrays the spoiled starlet to perfection. The chemistry and interplay between Houston and Costner was electric. The music in the movie was also great.

There are really some key elements that made this movie extremely good. First, I thought the acting was top notch by all involved. The supporting cast really played their characters well, as did the stars. Secondly, the editing was outstanding. The movie and plot move along at a fast pace. There is not a dull moment in the entire movie. And finally, the plot was plausible (for the most part) and the mystery - who is the hit man - slowly reveals itself. Having watched the movie several times, there a several foreshadowings.

Overall I found it a most entertaining movie both as a mystery, a thriller, and love story.
