Ladyhawke

Pros: Photography, acting, script, casting
Cons: musical score

What shall we review today, my friends? Let's wander over to the DVD collection and see if anything strikes us... Ahhhh here's a good classic! LadyHawke is one of those movies that transcends time. A fairytale for the romantics, a fantasy ...

Pros: Perfect cast, great sound, beautiful scenery
Cons: None

Two lovers, cursed by an jealous bishop so that neither may see each other in human form, but for a split second in the moments between day and night...

By day, Etienne Navarre is a man. By night, he is a wolf, unaware of his human half-life....

Pros: a sweet quaint tale of love and magic set it medieval times
Cons: the soundtrack is just terrible

The Plot

Michelle Pfieffer plays Isabeau. She is a woman of unrivaled beauty who captures the heart of the community of Aquilla. She is even the target of the love of the Bishop.

However her heart already belongs to the...

Pros: Michelle Pfeiffer. Mathew Broderick. Set decoration is interesting...
Cons: Someone please kill Alan Parsons...

In the annals of 20th century cinema, many a fine film has been pushed to the back bin of public thought and scope. Some have found this fate due to poor marketing and lackluster coverage. Others can mark their place amongst the obscure with one general...

Pros: A well-produced fantasy adventure with an outstanding cast and lots of fun.
Cons: The music ranges from really stupid to mildly annoying to occasionally OK.

The title music of this film is so ridiculously out of touch with the mythic-mediaeval character of ...

Pros: Hauer, Broderick and Pfeiffer in that order, Photography and special effects
Cons: Strangely inappropriate music at times, and the Bishop

This 1985 movie has long been one of my favorites. It features Rutger Hauer when he was still a hunk (if you don't believe this is possible take another look at BLADERUNNER) and before Matthew Broderick was consigned to the oblivion of mediocrity. It...

Pros: Effects, beautiful cinematogaphy, appeals to the eye, Rutger Hauer
Cons: music

I had lost hope in Sword&Sorcery films of the 80's. They were of poor quality, dated, and contained some of most irritating music known to man. The stories were lame fantasies even retarded kids would have been embarrassed of having dreamt up. I was disgu ...

Pros: Feeling. Mood. Direction. Music. It's fantasy.
Cons: Acting. Script. Most everything to some degree.

This opinion is likely to be confusing. Why? Because the movie is just plain bad. But, I like it and you probably will as well.

First, let's just go over the story. It's rather simple.

It seems a certain curse was put on two...

Pros: too many to mention
Cons: none

I have to give the credit for this movie to Richard Donner, the director. The story is pretty ordinary. The acting is acceptable, but not extraordinary. The cinematography is beautiful, but I've seen better. Still, through his craftsmanship, these...

Pros: Great acting, intelligent and beautiful writing
Cons: None

You know how it goes. He wants some action and excitement, she wants romance. What can you do? Well, here's a movie that will please you both. Guys, pick this out and tell her it's a love story. Ladies, bring him an adventure movie. You can relax...

Pros: Some great music and wonderful scenery
Cons: A little long and predictable.

Ladyhawke, starring Matthew Broderick (famous for Ferris Bueller’s day off), Rutger Hauer (famous for Blade Runner and Guinness commercials in England) Michelle Pfeiffer is a fantasy, adventure and love story combined into one.

The...

Pros: wonderful acting, staging, everything
Cons: modern 80s music *shudder*

A classically haunting and beautiful fantasy movie--without the hackneyed stereotypes!
In this 1980s film [we know that by the cheesy, out of place modern music played throughout the whole thing] we have a classical tale of...

Pros: The good vs. evil aspect.
Cons: Sometimes the story moves a little too slowly.

She's a hawk by day. He's a wolf by night. And Matthew Broderick is the glue that holds them together.

Welcome to the world of Ladyhawke, where two lovers have been cursed to never see each other again but yet dwell side by side. Forced to...

Pros: something for everyone
Cons: nothing to speak of

This film must be viewed widescreen, never in pan and scan, as it loses much of it's impact. If you ever have a chance to catch it on the big screen, go, you will not be disappointed.
This is a fantasy about two cursed lovers. He (Rutger Hauer)...

Pros: Great acting
Cons: none

Medieval tale of true love, jealousy, curses and evil men. The Knight is played perfectly by Rutger Hauer who is very sexy in this role. He is in love with Isabeau (Michelle Pfeiffer) but because of the jealousy of the Bishop, a curse is put on the...
