The 10th Kingdom

Summary: Read this before you buy the tape
Review: Now before true die hard 10th Kingdom fans pounce on me for rating their beloved movie with one star I want to get one thing strait, I love the 10th Kingdom, completely. I think the only word to truly describe the movie and/or book would be...everything. I say this because it has everything, great acting, writing, effects, scenery, plot, characters, humor, drama, romance, action, suspense, blah blah, ect. If you love the 10th Kingdom as much as I do then you would agree with me that you would want all of the 10 hours. But that is not what you get when you buy the tape. Many of my favorite scenes have been cut out, including the famous psychiatrist scene where Wolf has his infamous quote of, "I don't know wheather to love her or eat her." Why so many scenes were cut out I am not sure, maybe for tape space. But I can say that is a very big disappointment to be excpecting the full length movie and then get only the chopped, watered down version. Of course there could be another version of the tape floating around somewhere with all of the wonderful 10 hours, and if you find that version well let us all know.

Summary: Wonderful Miniseries-Warning this is the edited version!
Review: Warning this is the edited version! The complete miniseries is on 3 tapes. This version has at least 2 hours edited out of it! This is the best miniseries I have ever seen, and I highly reccomend it. It has romance, comedy, horror, adventure. It is well worth seeing the entire movie and not just a knock off version!

Summary: Very Good Fantasy Miniseries
Review: This is a wonderful Miniseries with a above average plot. The story takes place in 9 different kingdoms and the settings are wonderful and beautifully constructed. At first, the characters in this story seem shallow and unbelievable because they were written as such. Later, we find that the characters have more depth than whats on the surface. Unfortunatley, this doesn't happen until 300 minutes into this 450 minute film. Still, it is a very good story overall, especially if you have an imagination.

Summary: The Best movie I've seen in my life
Review: Wow! I've missed the movie on TV unfortunately, didn't know anything about it. Accidently I bought a videotape. Believe me, you haven't seen anything better. This magical story makes you forget about everything and just dissolve in the movie. I have it on Video, DVD, I've got book and CD. I am watching the movie twice a day, over and over again without getting tired of it. Get it ASAP. You will fall in love with it at first sight.

Summary: Unsurpassed!
Review: This review applies to the DVD version, which, for some reason is not showing up here at Amazon, even though I know it exists since I own it. I won't go into detail about the film since everybody else did that already. The DVD does have some interesting extras, especially a short about the making of the Tenth Kingdom and a spur of the moment Troll Song by the Troll Trio. We've already watched the film once on TV and twice on DVD; there's so much in it that it can easily be enjoyed many times.The Tenth Kingdom is the most completely enjoyable film experience I have ever had; it is simply superlative in every way, able to be viewed and enjoyed by anyone.

Summary: Big Disappointment
Review: As a lover of fantasy, the concept of this movie was very appealing to me. Unfortunately, this story has nothing to recommend it. While the make-up and special effects are OK, the acting, with the exception of "Wolf," is mediocre, and the story line is weak. Beyond that, though the plot seems geared to pre-teens, the subject matter is definetly not for children. Unlike the fairy tales on which the setting is based, there are no moral stories here to encourage youngsters (and oldsters alike) in development of strong characters. Instead, we have "good guys" who waste their six wishes on beer, revenge, slothfulness, and other selfish desires. We have Wolf admiring Virginia's "succulent breasts." We have "heroes" stealing and cheating to win a contest, then gambling to raise money. We are shown premarital sex with no remorse, and a father whose only reaction to his daughter's moral failure is to roll his eyes. By the end of the movie several characters do display a selfless act or two, but we are left with a story whose characters, at their best, are still poor role models. Art has the ability to ennoble us or to coarsen us, and this movie definitely leaves the viewer far short of anything noble. For a good moral tale, I would recommend First Knight (1995, Sean Connery), where the characters struggle with understanding and fulfilling moral principles, or Beau Geste (1939, Gary Cooper). ...

Summary: Very entertaining fantasy flick!
Review: We bought this movie on DVD and it was so entertaining that we didn't even realize 7 hours had passed! By the time we were finished, it was almost 5AM! It held our attention the whole time and not once did we fall asleep. The acting was superb, the scenery gorgeous, and the action and comedy were unforgettable. If you like fairy tales at all, this is a must have!

Summary: This is a great movie!
Review: I am usually not the kind of person that will sit through a long extended movie. This one captured my attention from the first episode and held it all the way through. As soon as it was over, I e-mailed NBC begging them to release the movie on DVD. I am so glad they did. My entire family enjoyed it. This is a definite must have film! Excellent story, great cast, and just plain fun to watch! I hope they make sequel!

Summary: Missing Scenes
Review: I loved the mini-series and was very excited to be able to see it again on VHS. I couldn't wait for it to come out. It's a fun adventure that addresses today's social relationships within families and also between friends. It has may comical moments, and really made me laugh out loud. My favorite scene is when Wolf talks with the Psychologist. It great when he says, "I just met a girl, and I don't know whether to eat her or marry her!" Unfortunately, many scenes are cut out on this VHS version, including my personal favorite noted above. I do not recommend buying it if you've seen the original. There's too much missing. Very disappointing.
