Movie Reviews of Kim
Movie Review: Revisiting Rudyard Kipling's Kim
Summary: 5 Stars
Kim is a movie I remember so well as a kid infact probably my favourite chidhood movie. I found myself one evening searching Amazon's massive dvd vault and for some reason I typed in 'KIM' and I was delighted to see it had been released on dvd. Sometimes revisiting a childhood favourite can be dissapointing as an adult, but not Kim the story is so imaginitive it grips from start to finish. The acting of a young Dean Stockwell as a streetwise street urchin blagging his way through life and finding himself embroiled in espionage reminds me in character of Errol Flynn at his cheekiest. Ironically Flynn co stars as 'Kim's protector Red Beard. Both actors work together so well they draw you into the story set in India during the Raj. Kim was My favourite childhood movie and I'm glad I found it again. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.Movie Review: The adventure begins
Summary: 5 Stars
A great tale of loyalty and spies. With renewed interest in the region where this film takes place it is interesting to see that not much has changed. Being a Rudyard Kipling story it plays better than a made for entertainment film of the time.
I was surprised to find that Kim is Dean Stockwell before the bushy hair. Paul Lukas is exceptional as always. It takes a little time to realize that Errol Flynn is "Mahbub Ali" and not "MahbubAli". I actually ran across someone with the name. I also was intrigued in the hypnoses sense.
Kim an English kid in the 1880's helps a holy man to go on a pilgrimage and does a little spying on the side for an Afghan horse trader.
Movie Review: Kim
Summary: 5 Stars
Twelve years after "The Adventures of Robin Hood," former Warner Bros. swashbuckling sensation Errol Flynn showed us he could still handle a sword in this rousing adventure, based on a Rudyard Kipling story. This engrossing yarn benefits from rich period atmosphere, vibrant color photography, and the star charisma emanating from both Flynn and the talented young Stockwell.Movie Review: Kim
Summary: 5 Stars
This film hasn't lost any of it's adventure,style or humor for me since I first watched it 20 years ago. Hollywood managed to capture Kipling's view of a beautiful country & a proud people.Our children have enjoyed it as much as I did when I first saw it.Movie Review: A great adventure film
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the great adventure films of all time. It's old but the film quality is excellent and the story is captivating. Errol Flynn's better films. A great family movie. The color is great and the full-screen DVD is refreshing.
