Return to Snowy River

Summary: My horse spooks at garbage bags, his knows good and evil.
Review: Does not match up to the magic of the first movie, but still enjoyable viewing. We get to see Burlinson all grown up ("Be a man, Jim! Be a man!") and plenty of scenes with him riding around looking like he was born glued to the saddle, which any reasonably warm blooded female can appreciate.

My only complaint with the movie: the Stallion develops the ability to tell "the good guys" from "the bad guys," and I much preferred Douglas over Dennehy.

Otherwise, more great riding, great scenery, great horses. Can't argue with that.

Also, no horses died in the making of the film. The buckskin, Denny, died Christmas Eve 1999 at age 29. :) This rumor and other movie rumors will soon be address in the FAQ @ www.tomburlinson.info

Summary: WOW!!!!
Review: This was a really good movie! An excellant follow up to the orignal Man from Snowy River! I would like to ADDRESS 2 things: 1: the horse who played Jim's DUN was NOT killed on set! 2: Many people are calling the horse Denny or Danny, but I have read Ellin Mitchill's book and his name is ANDY! NOT DENNY OR DANNY! But before I read the book I also thought that it was Danny, so dont take it personally.

A truly romantic story that really catches on to the first. I feel bad for Jess, being forcod into a marrige with that SNOB Alistor Patton(YUCK!HISS!) He is SO evil trying to get Jess by ruining Jim!

Summary: BEWARE! ONLY FULLSCREEN
Review: Disney has done it again! They have failed to offer the "complete" movie. THIS MOVIE IS NOT OFFERED IN WIDESCREEN! I assume that Disney execs think the viewing public are ignorant to widescreen and only want an exact duplicate of a VHS! Shame on Disney! Other than that it is an excellent movie.

Summary: If you love horses and romantic stories this one's for you..
Review: Don't let the review from Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide fool you. If you love horses and romantic "boy gets girl" love stories as much as I do, you will love this one! I judge a movie by the emotions I feel when I watch it and this one has them all. When Jim rescues Jessica from the cliff *sigh* I wish it could have been me...Great scenery and a great story! Highly Recommended!

Summary: More food for the soul
Review: Even as a sequel with some duplication of the key scenes from the original, this movie is thoroughly enjoyable and fulfills the hunger for this rare type of movie. It makes me feel good about being a human. Cinematography is fabulous and characters are inspiring. Buy this and the original for you and your children.

Summary: One of my all time favorites
Review: Had to buy a second copy -- wore out my first! One of the rare instances when the sequel is equally as good as the original. The music is amazing (be sure to get the soundtrack), and the scenery breath-taking. I cannot recommend this movie enough!

Rating:
Summary: A terrific sequel - lots of action, adventure and romance.
Review: I and my children have seen both the original and the sequel. Great action and adventure. The horse riding scenes are terrific, especially when going down that big hill! I would recommend it to anyone who likes horses and adventure.

Summary: Buy this video - don't bother with the first one.
Review: I bought this video for my horse-obsessed little boy, and it's a great movie. I think it's much better than the first one basically because Kirk Douglas isn't in this one stealing all of the scenes. Therefore there's a chance to focus more on the story. Brian Dennehy plays Jessica's father in this one, and does a fantastic job. Great job done by all, great story. The only gripe I have is that the fight scene between Jim and Allistair is a little extreme for a PG movie in my opinion. It really wasn't necessary. It's also a little difficult to have compassion for the notorious black stallion after he stomps that guy to death. Watch it!
