everything you have heard about this movie is true.
... View MoreA lot of fun.
... View MoreWhat a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
... View MoreIt's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
... View MoreThe 10th kingdom is long... 7 hours long... Is it worth it though? Yes and No, the film is a re-telling of all the classics fairy tales and nursery rhymes but the twist is that they are all connected to each other in one way or another. Think Once upon a time without the headache inducing family tree they have going on and you'll get the picture.This one is hard to review because DVD which is the first 1/3 of the movie is really boring, whatever you think will happen will actually happen, there is no clever twist or interesting dialog.The visuals are lovely and very colourful but the effects haven't aged well. I almost stopped watching half way through the first DVD but my friend egged me on.To it's credit it does get better as you get to the second DVD, the characters of the fairy tales are more alive and our heroes become part of the story not just outsiders to it.There are better movies out there for this genre and considering the running time of this movie I would rate it as white bread. It's not the best thing on the shelf but it's not the worst either and if you want to spend a little quality time with loved ones on a rainy day then it's a good movie to pop in.
... View Morethis film was written by Simon Moore and produced by Robert Halmi. The movie starts out in modern-day New York, following a girl named Virginia and her father, Anthony. Then in a different realm where Cinderella, Snow White, and Little Red Ridding Hood were once rulers of the land. Prince Wendell, the grandson of Snow White Gets turned into a golden retriever by his step mother, the evil queen. When the evil queen sends trolls after him to kill him, he finds a way to escape by running through a magic mirror. This is when he runs in to Virginia and their journey begins. One of my favorite characters is Wolf. I like him because he is relatable. because people judge him by his appearance because he has a tail and then they run away. And assume that he is always to blame. This is relatable because it is very easy to del like an outcast and that everything is your fault some times. This film is very unique because it gives a good twist on classic fairy tales. one of my favorite clips from the movie is when Virginia is try to win a competition by singing we will rock you in a lame remix( have to watch the movie to find out what that means). this movie was very emotional movie to me because you go on an emotional roller coaster , sometimes your happy , sad and laughing.
... View MoreEvery time I see this movie I like it even more than the last time.This is an exceptionally long movie at about 10 hours, but it was a mini series to begin with. Unfortunately I missed it in it's run, never even heard of it.I was snooping around the videos in a local store and came across this little gem. It's a great story supported by some excellent acting. The production values are just about the best I've even seen for any made-for-TV material. The entire idea of the movie, regarding what had happened to all the fairy tale people after a couple of hundred years, is captivating itself. However, the cast they put together fit the rolls perfectly.The trolls are particularly funny and well done. The huntsman actually gave me the chills.People who like fantasy and fairy tales will absolutely love this movie.If you go to all the last reviews here you will find the opinions of people who are not fantasy fans. You know, the ones with no imagination and who couldn't suspend their disbelief even if they were paid to do so. These people will never see a good fantasy for what it is, and will never get any enjoyment out of them. This leaves me to wonder, if they don't like these types of stories, why do they keep watching them? If you enjoy the genera then by all means pick this up if you see it. Just be ready for either a LLLOOONNNGGG bout of watching a LLLOOONNNGGG movie, or try and cut it up into manageable pieces. The toughest thing will be trying to stop it somewhere. Good luck with that decision.
