Movie Reviews of Ladyhawke
Movie Review: A FLAMBOYANT SWORD AND SORCERY FANTASY
Summary: 5 Stars
Alan Parsons couldn't even ruin this wonderful fantasy, though he certainly seemed to have tried hard enough with the vapid score he created for LADYHAWKE. Rutger Hauer, and Michelle Pfeiffer shine as star-crossed ( or 'cursed' ) lovers, and Mathew Broderick as a young thief, and Leo Mckern as a disgraced priest provide plenty of comic relief, and John Wood is superb as a sinister sorcerer-bishop. The dialogue is at times a bit pretentious, however, the cinematography is exquisite ( though, this transfer doesn't quite do the movie justice ), and the action moves right along. It's definitely a must-have for fantasy-lovers.
Summary of Ladyhawke
In this 700 year old legend of love and honor two lovers are separated by an evil curse. A valiant knight is aided in his quest by a wise crakcing thief in his quest to break the spell by destroying its creator. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 02/08/2005 Starring: Matthew Broderick Rutger Hauer Run time: 121 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Richard DonnerThis lushly produced fantasy has gained a loyal following since its release in 1985, and it gave a welcomed boost to the careers of Matthew Broderick, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Rutger Hauer. You have to ignore the overly aggressive music score (critic Pauline Kael aptly dubbed it "disco-medieval") and director Richard Donner's reckless allowance of anachronistic dialogue and uninspired storytelling, but there's a certain charm to the movie's combination of romance and heroism. Broderick plays a young thief who comes to the aid of tragic lovers Isabeau (Pfeiffer), who is cursed to become a hawk every day at sunrise and Navarre (Hauer) who turns into a wolf at sunset. The curse was cast by an evil sorcerer-bishop (John Wood), and as Broderick eludes the bishop's henchmen, Navarre struggles to conquer the villain, lift the curse, and be reunited with his love in human form. The tragedy of this lovers' dilemma keeps the movie going, and Broderick is well cast as a young, medieval variation of Woody Allen. --Jeff Shannon
