Summary: Pleased ... But Disappointed!
Review: The movie was extremely entertaining ... however, I was disappointed that there were some very important scenes in the theatre and TV presentations that were edited out in the DVD. If the DVD was un-edited I would have given this movie a five star rating!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A DISAPPOINTMENT!
Review: The much hyped film, released in 1992 features two very bright talents but to my surprise (and in my own personal opinion of course) is rather lacklustre. The story often careers along on a soap opera, t.v movie type level, with no real chemistry between the two leading stars. To its credit though the soundtrack is magnificent with Houston singing such great tracks as, I HAVE NOTHING and I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU with all her heart and soul. The main trouble is that its plot is somewhat predictable, giving very little in the way of suspense but in all fairness there are a few surprising twists to the story but overall the film is at best, enjoyably about average.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's a fabulous movie- trust me!
Review: There's a lot more thinking involved than you'd think- mostly because half of the cast wants to kill Whitney's character- but they never can with SUPER Kevin around!

Honestly, it's a little predictable, but a GREAT romantic thriller. Although I wish there was a little more romance and a little less thrilling.. Whitney Houston is charming and captivating and Kevin is- well heck! He doesn't need to be anything other than Kevin ;0)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: EXCELLENT
Review: This blockbuster hit stars two of the greatest in Hollywood with her amazing voice and talent and his incredible eyes make a wonderful movie that is a must see. Whitney Houston outshines herself in this amazing role. She plays pop singer Rachel Maroon. When she starts getting threatened by a nasty and obsessive fan. Without knowing her manager hires Frank Farmer a secret service agent the is the best of the best in protection played by Kevin Costner. At first she dislikes the idea of having a bodyguard and having to do what he says. But as they say their is only a thin line between love and hate. They start to fall madly for each other but he knows it is not right to fall for her because he may not perform his job well that is to protect her. After a disturbing incident in Miami she decides to let him make the decisions from now on. While staying in a cabin the killer that is after Rachel kills her sister and almost kills Rachel's son. Frank is determined to protect her during the night of the Oscars in which he thinks the killer will make a move. 'I will always love you', 'I wanna run to you' and 'Queen of the night' make this the best soundtrack for a movie ever made in 1992. As I said this is a must see movie.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: I FELT GYPPED
Review: This fairly good suspense films cries out for a Hollywood ending but alas, we don't get one. In the frst of the last two scenes, the pop singer (Whitney Houston) gives her boduygaurd (Kevin Kostner) a great big smooch and I thought they would then depart on her private plane together. Not so, however, since in ther last scene we see him gaurding another person (a governor no less).

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Very Wack PURPLE RAIN LITE!
Review: this film is PURPLE RAIN LITE.the story Line is as bad as the music here.i don't know what's more overated the film or the soundtrack? it's about a tie for such Lameness.Whitney can't Act.Kevin Costner is just going thru the motions.no Chemistry.Whitney is Nice Looking&kevin Costner is suppose to be a Leading Man why No real ROmance? was WHitneys Skin a Little too DARK? that alone would have made this film at least half way believable.but instead we get VIdeos called a Movie.Prince did that already with Purple Rain.this is the Lite version of that.and it's not Good.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A GREAT MOVIE
Review: This is a brillient film with 2 great talents coming together to play the main characters. Actor Kevin Costner plays Frank Farmer, The Bodyguard & singer Whitney Housten,plays famous popstar Rachel Marron. She starts being pestered by an obsessive fan who has turned nasty and started sending threatening letters, so Frank farmer is employed to protect her, against her wishes. But she finds herself falling in love with him, & after a lot of nasty incidents is glad that he is there to look after her. Kevin Costner & Whitney Housten both play their parts very well, with great chemistry between them. There are great Whitney songs such as, her no. 1 single "I Will Always Love You" & "I Have Nothing" & "Queen Of The Night" There is also a good supporting cast. Its a film I have seen many times & never get tired of & I`m sure if you buy it you will feel the same. One of the best films of the 90`s.

Summary: What????
Review: This is a decent enough film, particularly considering its genre (romantic thriller as superstar vehicle). Literate writing, some nifty and very effective plot twists, good portrayals all around. But...

Did anybody notice they used *both* possible endings? There's "the bodyguard turns his back on happiness and goes on to do his duty with a stiff upper lip" and there's "the singer turns back at the last minute and flings herself into his arms" ending, and I'll be damned if they're not both used, one after the other. The technical term for this is a "contradiction", something you want to avoid in a narrative, particularly at the climax. I've never seen this particular trick used before. I'm sure I never want to see it again. Call it a three-and-a-half.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Crowd Pleaser. All Around Great Movie
Review: This is a great movie, Whitney Houston is as good of an actress as she is a singer. Its plot it great, the writing is great. I was in tears by the end of the movie. This is a superb love story. I love it, cant get enough of it
