Summary: A Wonderful Movie!
Review: I watched 3 parts on NBC, missed the 4th part and refused to spoil it by watching the last 2 parts. Sounds mad I know, but immediately the mini-series ended I bought it on-line. I waited 5 days and received it and sat down and watched it all in one sitting (ok, ok so I was on vacation).

My one lament was that the opening sequence (where NY turns into the fairy tale world to the tune of "Wishing On A Star")is not repeated in each video.

Buy it! Buy it! Buy it! on DVD if you can.

PS: I fell in love with Wolf (as you will) long before Virginia did.

Summary: Applause
Review: Hmmm . . . where shall I start? It all began one dull Saturday night in August. My younger sister and I were searching for something equally pleasing to our totally different tastes in television (I like X-Files, she likes anything on Nickelodeon). I turned on "The Tenth Kingdom" and we were intrigued. After the first commercial break, the remote was never touched. The characters, especially Wolf, were lovable and interesting. The plot was twisty and unpredictable, though it dragged at times. The scenery was gorgeous, and the opening sequence made my jaw drop and left me speechless. Some language I wouldn't approve for children under 9 or 10, but other than that it was appropriate for all ages. I even checked out the web site the next day. I was amazed by the incredible fan following. All in all, I highly recommend this mini-series to those who are patient, enjoy fantasy, and above all HAVE SOME IMAGINATION!

Summary: There is no King Nielsen...
Review: ...and therefore the Nielsen ratings shouldn't have sway over this magnificently lighthearted fantasy 'Kingdom.' Anyone who remembers pretending to be the hero with a tablecloth tied around his neck, or the princess under a spell only a dashing prince could break--in short, anyone with a *childhood* would enjoy this production. Not since the defunct series "Beauty and the Beast" has such a talented cast come together to bring a little magic and perhaps even a little romance into the living rooms of our lives. I personally have had enough of the so-called reality-based excuses for voyeurism, or series glorifying the willful and ugly side of criminal America...I think it was high time for high adventure. As I pass by Central Park now, I wistfully dream that somewhere in there, there might JUST be a magic mirror, if I look hard enough. It's nice to believe in fairytales again.

Summary: An unexpected treasure!
Review: I admit that I did not watch The 10th Kingdom when it first aired on tv back in February, I think the ten hour running time intimidated me. But I happened to catch half of it when NBC re-aired it a second time earlier this month and I found myself hooked. I just fell in love with it. The characters were outstanding and it was very funny and romantic and full of adventure. A real mixture of everything you could want in a great story. So I bought the DVD and was finally able to watch the whole thing from the beginning and trust me, it was one of the best investments I've made! It may not be for everyone, but I personally thought it was one of the best things I've seen in years. I truly felt as if I had walked through that mirror with them and into another world. And yes, Scott Cohen as Wolf steals the show from his very first scene. His performance alone is worth the price of the DVD!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The 10th Kingdom
Review: This is the the best fantasy/drama/action movie I have ever seen. It lives up, and is even better than Merlin. I took it to my friends house and he said it was the best movie he has ever seen. Scott Cohen as Wolf is hillarious and Virginia played by Kimberly Williams is beautiful. The Trolls, I think, are the best part of the movie. In the words of the trolls "Suck an elf" its a good movie. If you like any kind of movies, you'll love this!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE BEST MINISERIES/MOVIE EVER!
Review: The first time I saw this movie I couldn't believe how perfect eveything was. The story I liked but the people who played the characters I loved. I haven't bought the DVD yet but I will. I thought that all the actors and actresses played their roles perfectly. I just think that there is absolutely nothing wrong about The 10th Kindom exept that they haven't come up with a sequal. I certainly hope that they do. The first time I saw it I couldn't wait until tomorrow for the next part. Just watch it and you will know what I am talking about. GET IT!

Summary: huff puff its just the best!
Review: To quote wolf this movie "sweeps you off your feet but also glues you to your seat." I must say that in a morbid way this movie is comical,romantic,suspensful,action packed, and in a word EVERYTHING! Kimberly Williams and Scott Cohen light up the screen as never befour. If I can give you any advice about viewing this movie it is these 2 things. 1.you must not listen to the cridicts about it you must be young at heart to deal with the gorgeous scenary and fairy tale story plot(obviously the cridicts cant unlock there inner child for a couple hours to enjoy this master piece.) 2.While viewing this movie you must be doing just that VIEWING because you cant just listen you will be turning your head every two seconds in disbelief that Wolf (Scott) is going on and on about Virginia's suculant breasts or the fact that shes "perky in the front and a vision from behind." Dont let that taste of the small amount of sexuality throw you though I believe you could comfortibly view this with your own childern as young as 12 I myself being 13 watched the whole thing with my mom.My two personal favorite parts were cut in the VHS version which made me mad to say the very least my favs were: when Wolf got Virginia to howl at the moon,when Virginia (kimberly) sang in the shepardess competition,and when she said to the judge "well a little more than that your honor!"

That is all I have to say about this marvelous movie that seems to be an insight to my heart and soul.......Any questions or comment regarding the movie feel free to ask(Ive seem it 8 times.)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: With very few reservations, a GREAT movie.
Review: I thought the story was enchanting, the violence comical and the sexual tension between Virginia and Wolf especially well done, however, there was one thing that detracted from the movie. I would have preferred not having to explain to my children why Wolf and Virginia were having a baby without being married, it would have been nice if that little bit could have been left unsaid. 95% of this movie is very fun and most of the double entendres went right over my kids heads, which I appreciated. It's a great movie for parents and kids to watch together because mom and dad get all of the jokes and the kids just enjoy the silliness of the whole thing. The production values and cast are absolutely first rate Kimberly Williams, John Larroquette, Scott Cohen, Dianne Wiest, Rutger Hauer, Camryn Mannheim, Ann-Margret, EVERYONE did an outstanding job. Except for the one criticism it was a WONDERFUL movie.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: T10K incomplete
Review: I loved T10K when it originally aired- the intertwining story lines, the self-referential humor, and the well-played characters all mingled to produce an extraordinary production.

I watched T10K again when it ran on NBC last week (Aug 2000) and was disturbed to see that they had edited it judiciously! So I obtained the video copy and was _again_ disturbed to see that it, too, was edited! But each one was edited in a different manner! For example: Parts about the Queen were left out of the second TV version, but were left in the VHS, while one of my favorite scenes (the Mushrooms trying to convince Tony to put them in the omelette) was left out of the VHS version!

I guess the only way to see the complete saga is to have taped it when it first ran, or to obtain it through NBC itself.

I can't _highly_ recommend this video, but it is as good as you can get for the time being.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Good movies but be careful about the DVD version
Review: I' ve seen this movies many times on video tape when I decided to get the DVD version. I found that disc B scene 13-18 were all wrong, the disc skipped in the Shepard village sections (half the "shepardess competition" & the whole "wolf on trial" were disappeared) and the movies on section 14-18 were not according to the menu. Amazon was very kind to let my return for the replacement, however the new set of DVDs also got the same defects, also are another 2 copies that my friends bought from Buy.com (they did return them). Since the movies is quite long, you might not have time to view the whole movies after buying, please do open and check disc B on the scences 13-18. I really wish to get a goos DVD for this movies because I love this movies so much.
