Summary: 'Return to Snowy River', the BEST sequel!
Review: I could never be more sastisfied with a sequel than this one. It's even better than a Toy Story 2 sequel. Mainly, because all questions are answered, in wonderful movie form! Jim Craig comes back from being away from the mountains for about 3 or 4 years. He hasn't seen Jessica in all that time, and, of course, he wants to. That's when all the trouble begins, and the Jessica and Jim are fighting to be together, while her father and a jealous Military, snobby bankers son, wants Jessica for his own. Which immediatly starts a rivalry with Jim and him before the day was over. The movie has incredible music, and scenery. I think the proffessional reviewers are looking out their own back-yard window when they say that's the only good thing about the movie. The music for this movie and the first one is excellent, beautifully suiting the moment it is being played at. The acting is perfect, to me, and the end satisfying, with Jim riding after Alastair to stop him from leading HIS horses over the border in a thrilling, and at one point, heartbreaking chase. The viewing is crisp and clear, the horses are wonderful. And the real stunts that Tom Burlinson does are AMAZING. Like when his horse Danny goes flying over the cliff edge in a daring leap (slow motion might I add). So good. I can't tell you any more than to stop reading this review and go rent this tape, better yet buy it! If you like romance, and LOVE horses and an engaging story-line, without all the crud they put in the movies now a-days, get this!!

Summary: Return to Snowy River
Review: I did NOT like the movie at all! I not only do not care for the rough treatment of the horses BUT the dear Buckskin DID die, contrary to comman belief! He was tripped and somersaulted down the hill and was so badly injured he had to be destroyed. This was confirmed to me not only by my horse's Vet who told me NO horse could survive such a fall but also from those who moniter cruelty to animals in the movies!
It is an OK movie for adults who are not easily upset over cruelty to animals but not for anyone who is!

Summary: The sequel that equals the first.
Review: I dislike most sequels, simply because sequels cannot capture the character of the original movie. The adventure of "Raiders of the Lost Ark". the heart of "Rocky", for example. This sequel, however, works the way a sequel is supposed to work, as an extension of the first. The story really does continue. The only problem I had with this one was the character of Harrison was played by a different actor. Brian Dennehy is a great actor, don't get me wrong. But to change the original actor destroys the continuity a little. On the whole, the scenery was beautiful, the writing flowed, the acting was natural, and who could forget the Brumby's and the gorgeous black stallion?

Summary: this is my favorit movie of all time!
Review: I fell in love with this movie when my dad rented it years ago! Like the other reviewees say, it isn't like most sequels. It carries on the story beautifully. I liked it even better than Man from Snowy River, though I liked that one too. If you love a good drama you really ought to check this one out!

Summary: This movies was thrilling, moving, and well worth watching
Review: I love both of the movies: The Man From Snowy River and the Return to Snowy River. And would recomend both to whomever likes horses, action and romance. Even though this would not be really recognized as a true westen I think it is one of the best I have seen. If you are in to that sort of thing I think you should definetly get it of rent it.

Summary: It needs to be in Widescreen
Review: I loved this movie. The scenery was fantastic... it's unfortunate that it was only released in a standard version. Hence my reason for a 3 star rating not a 5. I refuse to purchase this movie until it is released in widescreen.

Summary: The Snowy River Movies are awesome!!
Review: I've seen both 'The Man From Snowy River' and 'Return to Snowy River' and loved them both. They are wholesome movies to watch with a lot of action, but not violent. Whenever we had sleepovers these were the movies to watch. I definetly recommend watching 'The Man from Snowy River' first though. The scenery is beautiful, the cast is great, Kirk Douglas playing double roles is always good. The story line, and if you love horses this is a movie for you. It's a movie for all ages and both guys and girls. It's not a total 'chick flick' or a 'guys' movie.

Summary: A true see-again classic!
Review: In my opinion a truly wonderful film. As good if not better than the first. My favorite part has to be when Jim shows how to ride the skill at arms course in a way only he can pull off, and the tip of the hat to Jesseca when he is finished is perfect.

Summary: A Letdown
Review: Like many sequels, it disappoints. Tom Burlinson and Sigrid Thornton did nice work as the lovers Jim Craig and Jessica Harrison. Brian Dennehy stepped ably into the shoes of Kirk Douglas as Harrison. The scenery is glorious and the action and riding quite cool. Notable was Jim Craig's unique demonstration around the skill at arms course after meeting his new rival. So, what is the problem? It simply lacked the movie magic and spark and, perhaps, storyteller's art which made the "The Man from Snowy River" a success. I have watched "The Man from Snowy River" many times over many years, and still love it. I have watched "Return to Snowy River" perhaps twice.
